Good to see you here mate. Hope you had a good birthday.

Welcome mate

I'm hoping so.

Hang on a minute. That flag and the name. Did you have a similar board name in English when you were younger?

The number of days until I fly is now single figures.

La Bamba

Was thinking that, lovely place to have your coffee.

Good to see you posting and have a good flight this evening.

Never scrimp on a bed or footwear mate.

Up the front of the aircraft, staff wise I'd say Emirates or Gulf. Food Qatar or Gulf but an honourable mention to China Southern for some of their Chinese dishes. Seat wise Emirates window seats on an A380 but the school boy in me loves taking off backwards in BA club class. In the back there's not a lot of difference in seats if like me you aren't a big chap. BA does not bad food. Qatar staff are very good if you have FF status and flying economy.

Welcome to the board.

You are too kind sir. Nearly got my dates together for my visit to Bangkok, there's been some juggling around to be done but almost there.

So four games into the premier league in England and Liverpool are top of the table. Chelsea up there with them also on maximum points which to be honest surprises me after they took so long to sort out who was the manager. An early season Jose meltdown was a thing of joy and West Ham aren't doing very well. Oh too soon it all stops for bloody international friendlies I hear you cry. Well actually you are wrong there as it is the UEFA Nations League. Now if you have not been keeping up with this I thought I take the time to explain the format... Countries are split into groups across four leagues. The four winners of the top-ranked League A will qualify for the Nations League Finals in June 2019. Those who do not make it will face promotion and relegation, while a potential route into Euro 2020 will also be up for grabs. While group winners of League A will compete in the Nations League Finals ? which will feature semi-finals, a third-place match and the final hosted by one of the sides involved ? the victors in Leagues B, C and D gain promotion and the bottom sides from Leagues A, B and C will be relegated. The second season will take place in 2020-21. Teams that fail to top their group and do not get a semi final can enter a talent contest where they nominate one player to impress a panel of judges with a dance, performing a musical instrument or comedy act. If they score more than 6.8 from the judges then they go into a penalty shootout against the winners of the Charity Aid match featuring no less that three members of the Hollyoaks cast. The runner up will qualify for the Carabao cup quarterfinal while the wining team will face off against the national that came top of league D unless they are from Russia in which case they will not play Ukraine in a fifth gold run of Blockbusters. And that is Numberwang.

Anyone got contact details for Stargazer? I'd like see him over here.

Unless someone can get another one organised before Saturday I guess so. I'm now wondering how many members you need to have a meet up? There will be a minimum of four of us so I'm guessing that is definitely quorate. There were three of us in Rotterdam the other weekend and that felt official. Not sure two counts though.

That's unfortunate. You having any luck finding a room so you can come down for a few beers pal?

Just emailed Lanza and he's going to look for a nice pink one to permanently pin to every message that you post.

Down to ten days before my next trip to Thailand. Tomorrow will be even better single figures!

And who could this be? Named after his favourite dish and off to Tenerife possibly for a bit of scuba. It will come to me.

So which is your favourite airline that flys you on the big white bird to and from Thailand? What is it you like about the airline? Food, seats, IFE, baggage allowance, timings, price, etc? I've asked this question and I'm not sure of the answer myself, will go off and have a hard think. *note to self, must ask easier questions*
