Apart from Pullman King Power, all my hotel bookings, although reserved with a card, are pay on arrival.

King Power have the annoying habit of trying to take the money at any random date  after i book it online. It then triggers my Bank's security as it's attempted to be taken from Thailand when i haven't told them i'm there. They send me a message about it asking me to say yes or no it's me, but message/attempted money being taken is like 3am or so UK time, so i don't see it until i wake up anyway.

So what happens is, bank doesn't approve it, i have to call bank to confirm i know it's genuine, card it's corrupted, get it back working. Bank tell me Pullman would have to attempt to take fee again, but same scenario would play out.

I'm kinda glad, even though it was annoying the 2 times it's happened, as i feel better knowing my Bank are on top of stuff like this. 

So i contacted Pullman, explained, they said fine, pay on arrival. I then also booked and paid for July/August's 2 stays when there last month.

I notice anything i think might be dodgy, i freeze my bank cards via the app straight away, until i can get talking to the Bank.

Even if something did still happen, i can show i'm being proactive.

Just about scraping into double figures by me. Still going out in a hoodie and puffa jacket. Meant to be high teens next week.

Fucking heat getting turned on here in the next 5mins.

Cheers @galenkia

We'll probably be staying at Pullman King Power for Leicester's first game back, bound to be a party! 

Leeds, Leeds are falling apart, again ...

Watching videos I just got sent from a guy I was diving with last month.

Nice Hawksbill turtle, and Black Tip shark we seen on the first day.

Brilliant by the female backing singer.

Ferry looks about 90, but still nails it

Siamese Foxes are going up!

Might be at King Power first their first game back, which no doubt will be a celebration at the hotel!

Fares might be even more competitive if BA decided to resume those flights daily, and from Heathrow. I don't particularly like Gatwick, and I am sure many others from north of London are not too thrilled about a Gatwick departure.

Still, it is something that I was really happy to see come to fruition and it now offers a better choice for all of us.

Yea, i don't like Gatwick either. 

Location, delays etc, much rather have Heathrow.

Though, hopefully the start of more competition ...

Was having a look at some dates for non stop flights to Thailand the other day, noticed, EVA, Thai and BA on it now.

Can only be a good thing, more competition, not that i've ever flown on them to Thailand.

Honestly can't remember, but it will have been on ebay.

Still have all my vinyl though, thankfully. Some classics, Love will Tear us Apart original 7inch, loads of punk stuff. 

Creepy as f**k ...

Spaghetti with Potatoes?

That would be illegal in Italy.

Had no idea Coxy was really Nigel Farage!

Love this forum ...

Yes, remember it well.

I had been told to be careful, that the girl you picked might be swapped for a ladyboy to actually do the 'deed' 

Reported!

Ageism breaks all sorts of inclusion and discrimination rules that @Nightcrawler was campaigning so hard about when wanting to display his ladyboy pics in a new section.

@Butch remembers it well ...

I found it quite cold when i was in Thailand the last weeks ...
