  1. I know guys who much prefer Grab. I've had 2 poor experiences using them in BKK, so am reluctant to use them. Have probably just been unlucky but Grabs drop off search doesn't work as well as Bolt's. That's the clincher for me, the single most important function in the app. One thing aside though, many drivers use both. You can see them flicking between apps, not when their busy sending Line messages though πŸ˜”
  2. At the moment I use Bolt, Grab, K Bank and Lazada. Occasionally look at the AIS app but that's really flaky. Find Bolt easiest to use of my ride hailing apps. Nice clean functionally and a search that works. I regularly enter a venue on Bolt, that Grab couldn't find. I too have had issues with Lazada figuring out things that should be simple. Found the app worked better than the website. Aside from Bolt all the above suffer from a really poor user interface. They are cluttered with functionally, that I doubt 99 percent of users will even touch. Useful topic. I also like the idea of calling the Force, the Force😜
  3. I was surprised by your post, but the 2 greatest Fantasy League plotters have just made the same move.πŸ€” Do player values change that often? I guess either could get injured on international duty? I'm lost, but then I'm convinced the Head to Head table is upside down!!
  4. Ouch! We are one of the most , if not the most entertaining teams in the league, an outrageous statement !!!
  5. Can't beat it!! Made that satisfying popping sound on cracking it openπŸ˜€
  6. Spiced Weizen Bock beer, made by a German master brewer in Phnom Penh.
  7. Takeaway veggie pizza, feeling pleasantly stuffed z was excellent.
  8. Just picked my laundry from a little family run place in Phnom Pehn. Dropped it off in a large red Tops cloth shopping bag. It's of little value but useful for the dirty clothes and carrying laundry on trips. The lady owner said not to worry she'd return the bag with laundry. So in I go, there's my washing all wrapped in plastic but no carrier bag. I did a bag mime and she looked in a draw, but didn't have one. She then points and the washing and sure enough I can see a little bit of red buried in the centre of my washing. There sellotaped and stapled in, wrapped in plastic is the bag I wanted to carry to carry the washing home inπŸ€€πŸ˜€
  9. I saw security at a Steve Earle concert stopping a fan taking a picture, it played out very differently to Chappelle. He told them very politely to leave the fan to take her picture. Said it was he fans show, they'd paid for it and he was fine with them taking pictures. He then apologized to security for himself and his team if they hadn't communicated things properly. I think Chappelle's gone way over the top. He's f*****d off 6,999 punters because of one idiot. Christy Moore's( Krapow's post above)handled it much better. Noisy people talking loudly through a concert in a theatre should get kicked out, as they are ruining the concert from everyone in earshot. But don't punish the real fans who've done nothing wrong.
  10. Latte almost too good looking to drink.
  11. Khmer chicken curry. Had carrot and green beans in there, part curry, part stew. Delicious $5 with the water. Complimentary small piece of chocolate cake for dessert.
  12. Was just about to order, till I realised @Nightcrawler was in the kitchen 😝
  13. Had 2 weird airport experiences yesterday, the second one more worrying. I had my boarding pass for Bangkok Airways on my phone. At the bag drop I was given card one didn't even look at it. Went down the gate and for the first time I can recall at BKK airport there was no passport check before you entered the gate. As I was getting up to board I noticed my seat number had changed from 20C to 24D. Didn't think too much of it, odd but maybe they had a large group to sit together. I'm then sat on the plane, and there a passenger announcement of my name! Identify myself and a security lady appears, and ask for my boarding pass. She looks it at it, and then asks me why am I carrying another passagers boarding pass!!! I looked at it, the surname was mine but a different first and forename, I was stunned 😯 She wasn't happy, luckily I had my phone, and was able to show my "real" boarding pass. However she was then grilling me on my baggage tag, that also wasn't in my name!! After a couple of minutes of the walkie talkie, she nodded and walked off. Didn't tell me things were ok, I was just relieved I wasn't hauled off the flight. Luckily on landing there was no boarding pass check, or I'd have been screwed with immigration. Thankfully my bag was there on the carousel. I took photos later of the real, and wrong boarding pass. I privately shared them with a fellow BM, in a did that really just happen moment. To top the day I then got a taxi to the wrong hotel. Somehow I never suspected that since I was last in PP, my hotel had opened a second branch. Can't make it upπŸ˜›
  14. Fair point, and I can understand in a different scenario I might have been more amenable. But he was a conman. He'd made a semi effort putting a shirt and trousers aside from the red flags I'd mentioned above, his shoes were absolutely filthy. Mud caked around them. About my only lucid moment of the day mind you. Dropped my guard after that and did multiple daft things!!
  15. Brilliant, you can't wish for any better. I'm starting to feel the same way. Enjoying life in Thailand 😁
  16. Just discovered there are two Sun & Moon hotels in Phnom Penh?! Sun & Moon Urban, and Sun & Moon riverside. The former is in an area known as the Riverside!!! I selected the wrong one, now the Passap driver is cheerfully taking me to the correct one! The fare is the dreaded up to you!! Have checked the correct fare, will give him a decent tip, nice lad and good to be back in Cambodia.
  17. I was smartly dressed, most of the other customers were more back Packers. Sachin I'd say had me down as the mark most likely to have a few baht
  18. This was the basement of the airport, near the metro station for airport. He had no luggage, not even a small rusack. Unlike every other customer around me who had luggage. Long odds on it was a sob story with a request for money at the end of it. Occam's razor.
  19. Just passed through Swampy departures at 11.30AM Zero queue at Bangkok Airways, but some of the other lines I walked by were long and chaotic, Vietjet notably. Only 10 people in front of me at immigration. Queue moved at glacial speed, possibly caused by the finger print scanner. I'd hate to leave on a really busy day. Clearing immigration to exit the country would take forever. Automated gates were there but only for Thais, people were passing through them in seconds.
  20. Having a coffee in Swampy basement. Indian chap comes up to my table, asks if I speak English and then wether he could sit with me. There were 4 empty tables next to me. I declined his offer, he span back around walked off. At least he didn't try to sell me a "vatch" or want to read my fortune πŸ˜›
  21. Really sorry to hear this news Gal. Rest in peace Jan.
  22. Thanks for the thought. Have backed Wolves, draw no bet so am happy to wait a week😁
