Heathrow Airport: Unite says 800 staff to strike in outsourcing row
By Thamayanthi McAllister & PA MediaBBC NewsHundreds of workers at Heathrow Airport are to strike for a week in a dispute over outsourcing of jobs.
Unite said 800 of its members plan to strike from 7 to 13 May due to what it called "deplorable action" from the airport's management.
The strike action is separate to a 72-hour walkout on 4 May involving 50 refuelling staff.
A Heathrow spokesman said: "We are reorganising our operations to deliver better results for our customers."
The union said workers in passenger services, who assist travellers to catch connecting flights, trolley operations and security guards are to have their jobs outsourced by June.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Heathrow Airport's actions are deplorable. It is raking in massive profits for the bosses while trying to squeeze every last penny out of its workforce.
"Unite is fully focused on defending its members' jobs, pay and conditions, and our members at Heathrow will receive the union's unrelenting support during this dispute."
A Heathrow spokesman said: "We are reorganising our operations to deliver better results for our customers. There are no job losses as a result of these changes, and we continue to discuss with Unite the implementation of these changes for the small number of colleagues impacted.
"Unite's threats of potential industrial action are unnecessary, and customers can be reassured that we will keep the airport operating smoothly, just like we have in the past."

So I am out playing Songkran yesterday, just drawing some water from the tub and I feel an itch on my right elbow - I brush it and carry on and a few seconds later I feel another sudden itch with same response and then forget about it. Today I wake up and some creature has left big, itchy welts on the inside of my elbow:
This is not the first time I have been attacked in this manner - same thing happened in Jomtien in February and has done so in previous visits, but I'd sure like to know what kind of creature is inflicting it - sure as hell ain't mosquitoes....
If you are able to speak to Gary aka @forcebwithu he has some small sachets of an antibiotic ointment which may do the trick.

I do not know how these will work with iphone/ipad/macbook etc, the literature does suggest that they work with Apple 'Find Me'. Less than half the price of the Apple air tags.

This club in Pattaya, Thailand has been abandoned since a fatal fire 20 years ago.
Batman has always been the superhero most commonly associated with chic, noir aesthetics, but we bet even he would raise an eyebrow about having a club themed after himself. At its peak, the nightlife destination was considered one of Pattaya, Thailand’s hottest clubbing spots, boasting two dance floors and a number of “entertainment rooms” that inhabited the massive complex’s highest stories. It even beamed Batman’s insignia across the city to signal it was open.
The club was only open for a year-and-a-half before a fire ripped through the building, killing many attendees. For the last twenty years the building has been entirely abandoned. American photographer Dax Ward has captured the club’s haunting grandeur in a photo series, some of which you can check out below. To view the entire collection, click here.
