Still have 3 of them and I gave the oldest one to my parents and they are all working great.

And Samsung as the cheap mans Panasonic!!! My last 4 TV's have all been Panasonic and never had a problem with them.

Well, they replaced the LG HD LCD Monitor with the LED version...... but if this one fails I won't get another LG.

I recently bought an LG monitor.... didn't even last 9 months before failing..... Won't buy LG again...

Bulging/leaking electrolytic capacitors is not a new phenomenon, it has been going on for years ......And it doesn't just happen in TVs, and not only Samsungs. It is usually happens as a result of manufacturers using lower quality capacitors. I've lost the occasional PC motherboard to bulging caps, including one made by Asus, one by DFI and one by Abit.

I would love to see JMJ in concert before I die..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN4IdLlznYQ&feature=related

I never holiday during school holidays, and it's late June we will be traveling, so hopefully the Diamond Jubilee effect will be over, and the Olympic effect won't have started for the return flights. What surprised me is that neither Emirates or Etihad were anywhere near being the cheapest for the dates I selected for the quote.

Just been checking prices for a trip in June (for me, my other half and my daughter ) and currently the cheapest option was a out on Swiss and back with Lufthansa........ Not planning on booking til May, hopefully prices will drop before then.

It's dual mode.... for use by a giver and taker!

One for all BMs who visit Patttaya... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bif2q_Zo3-4&feature=related

Been stopped twice flying into Swampy and both time been slightly over the allowance. First time got pulled after going through the Nothing to Declare exit and was looking for my taxi driver. After a quick look through my hand luggage they let me go. The second time I had just got off the plane, was walking along the concourse towards immigration when I got pulled for a quick look through my hand luggage.

I have done the bar bit but a change in plans meant pulling out of the bar business....... I do plan to do it again, but it won't be in Pattaya. I'm not gong to leave the UK to live in Thailand whilst my parents are alive, but when I do I'll make my home up north but will make trips down to Pattaya every so often, I also plan to split my time in retirement between the UK and Thailand.

Here's one Siam Sam night enjoy.

Within days of entering service ithe Nightmareliner was already suffering problems http://www.planenati...lve-failure.htm Funny how the Boeing fanboys kept quiet about that one....

Denny, you forgot to add the smiley!!!

20 years is a long time to have passed... the chances are she left Pattaya a long time ago.

As a welcome back to Anti-Airbus BigD http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-16452171 Nice start to the year for Airbus!

Queen Vic and Tropical Bert's are probably the best places to stay if you want to be on Soi 6 - but another good place to stay is Soi LK where there is also plenty of fun to be had.

And there was even a Pattaya GoGo bar was recently advertised on eBay....

Lenses, especially Canon and Nikon are very good at holding their value. I once bought a Nikon lens from Hong Kong and a year later sold it on Ebay for more than I paid for it.

I was recently watching a TV programme featuring a pro-photographer and he was using a Nikon D3 with an old Nikon AI lens...

I would also say it's a very reasonable deal, the 2 USM lenses and the Speedlite are probably worth what he is asking. Lenses keep their value much more than camera bodies, especially decent lenses.
