    That made me feel extremely uncomfortable just watching.

    As a teen I have worked construction up to 380 ft on scaffold and planks, now I don't even like cleaning first floor (upstairs) windows.

    It looks like this place has bought the farm they were heavy on Facebook looking for a 1/3 investment but I guess that fell through Blue streak would know more about it because I think he walks through here pretty often. But the place is dirty unkept it looks like the bar has been stripped of everything just looks like it's out of business who would have guessed it. Opposite Candy Bar on Soi Boukow 

    How many thirds needed to make a profit?

    Having spent most of my working life in the UK insurance industry i could never imagine the same circumstances happening, protections are in place to protect customer

    UK experience: in 2021 I renewed my motorcycle insurance policy. 4 months in I was informed the Company went into administration. It was planned that the policy expiry would remain unchanged but all claims would be handled by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. 2 months later I was informed the policy would cease and I would receive a refund for any complete months outstanding. I believe all companies have to contribute to the FSCS which picks up the pieces for customers.

  4. Transit through Muscat, Oman on my way to BKK.

    The departure lounge had a single toilet also suitable for disabled. A man left and I entered for a pee. After washing my hands I went to the door, the handle was missing, only the spindle showing. Tried to open by hand but unable. Banged on the door and shouted as the plane was boarding by this time. Luckily as a disabled facility the was a pull cord alarm.

    Security guy opened the door and I pointed to the door. He asked where is the handle, no idea I said and ran past him to the airbridge.

    I still wonder if the previous man stole it or how else did he exit.

    Can anyone tell me why EVA flights always take off late from LHR, sometimes more than an hour late? .

    Talking specifically about BR68 to BKK  

    BR67 BKK - LHR for 23/29 December. Usually late in so late out. Seems the flights out of Taipei to BKK are also late.

    Scheduled      Actual Arrival

  6. The treatment of Carlos Sainz is a disgrace. Apparently the rules don't allow for a free pass for the engine change hence a 10 place grid penalty and a repair bill over 1,000,000 GBP.

    I reckon the organisers should foot the repair bill but wait, the organisers are Liberty Media in this case, the owners of Formula 1.

  7. I was in a local pattaya bar around 4 a.m. (ssh) and a policeman I recognised came in for a drink. We nodded to acknowledge one another.  After a while,  I asked the waitress to sent a drink to him on my bin. He came over to thank me and we spoke for a few minutes. Great English and an interesting conversation.
