Most of the time your computer will be running idle. The cost would be quite a bit more it it was running at 100% load. My PCs run 24/7 at virtually 100% CPU and GPU load - I'm involved in "Distributed Computing" where I donate some of my computational power to scientific research (in particular medical research) running simulations to do with new drugs for cancer, HIV malaria and others. My electric bill is significantly higher than yours..... I have mined Bitcoin before, but i donated my proceeds to good causes. One lad I know is "mining" with a one of his PC's running 5 graphics

I prefer to arrive BKK early morning or around Lunchtime..... arriving later I feel as though a day of the trip has been wasted...... When I'm flying from Manchester I always avoid the M60 to get to the airport.... M6/M56 for me and it's very rare I hit hold-ups..... Heading back home from MAN is different as we usually call in at the big ASDA near the Trafford Centre for supplies....... I can suffer the M60 traffic heading back home...

Paying them after the deed was mentioned earlier...... To put it another way,...... you don't pay to fuck them...... you pay for them to go!!!

Don't turn this into an anti-smoking thread....

If you have a short time or long time with one of the ladies, you don't need to pay them up front........you can wait until after the deed is done...... Call in and have a drink at Cherry bar on Soi Diana.... there's a good chance you'll meet some forum members drinking there..... Adam is a great host, and I would recommend going on a Ban Chang bar crawl with him......

I stayed at I-Rovers last November , price was cheap but found the room I was staying in to be basic.... I've stayed in better for not much more..... The plus side to it being it is close to the action.....

Then once the mining has covered the cost of the mining equipment you're into profit..... Due to the value of bitcoins being so high at the moment many people have been buying PC graphics cards which can be used the mining..... the result has been a shortage in supply and prices have shot up...... I bought 2 new graphics card before xmas and their price has shot up by about 33% in a month!!!

I've done some crypto-currency mining with the proceeds being donated to charity........ Made a nice profit selling the hardware.......

Emirates has just agreed a deal with Airbus for another 20 with options on a further 16....... Despite a lot of A380 haters already writing the obituary for the A380.... BA is also talking with Airbus with regards to adding more A380 to it's fleet..... It's not dead yet!!!!

Fashion??? What's that??? It's snowing in the UK.... and guess what this idiots wearing..... shorts!!!!

You won't catch me wearing a shirt that looks like a tea-towel!!!

Main security....... My carry-on luggage always seems to be a magnet for swabbing..... Yes, I know I am a dodgy looking character!!!!.

I have no qualms about transiting via the middle east, and have never had a bad experience when going through security...... Can't say the same about Manchester as I seem to get regularly pulled up for a bag search on my way to departures...

I use firefox and chrome as browsers on my PC and I'll admit I prefer using firefox. I avoid using IE unless I really have to....I try to avoid updating firefox until I really have to...

I've never had a problem carrying painkillers whilst traveling through the Middle Eastern hubs.... But a quick google search would come up with a list of prohibited medicines for places you are unsure about...

I've just downgraded to Firefox 56.0.2 after I suffered an automatic update..... didn't like the new style bookmark icons in the latest release as they changed to grey bookmark folders...... I've also turned off the automatic update... Try uninstalling and then a new install with an earlier version and see if that helps......

I've traveled around the UK from as far north as Inverness to as far south as Penzance.... yes, I have visited quite a lot of places...... and I lived on the outskirts of Manchester for a while whilst I was at uni... Would I live anywhere else than Cumbria? No chance....... Mrs Fiend loves the beauty of the Lake District, in summer and in winter. She especially loves the sight of snow on the mountains.... London.... that's full of fecking tourists too!!! And the traffic... the traffic in London is a fecking joke. I've driven a coach tours into and around London many times - my brother had

Ha ha!!! I live in a beautiful part of the country, the Lake District is on my doorstep..... Would I swap that for the London metropolis or Southern England? No way!!!!

Perhaps if that "poor girl" had obtained prior permission to import them, and had a prescription for them then she might not have got into so much trouble....But she was carrying a large quantity tablets that had not been prescribed to her, or her husband, and had no prior permission to import a drug that is a controlled substance in Egypt.....

And that offer is only available from Heathrow.....

Yep, Mrs Fiend does a rather nice bacon butty...

Think I'll stick to a good old bacon butty!!!

Stansteds runway is the same length as the 2 at Manchester, give or take a meter, so they wouldn't need to lengthen the runway..... it could handle an A380....
