Approaching Central Bus Station at Heathrow. Damp and dreary.

First time in this lounge for me.

 

If LHR T2, I wasn't impressed, no gin and tonic and the food selection wasn't great either.

Recently woke up. Was up at 02.45 to drive a mate to Oxford for his coach to Heathrow. Called him at 10.30 to check all ok, apparently the coach broke down after 10 miles and they had to wait for a replacement.

Hope my coach doesn't break down on Sunday.

How long before they cut tiles to fit at the edges? Plenty were missing on Klang last trip.

Is that to stop it getting shitted up, thus can't be read?

I think to stop creating  rooster tail when riding on wet roads, but what do I know - never ride in the wet now. 

Mine's a toy not transport.

Edit: that will have @galenkia down on me like a ton of bricks.

Looks like @tommy dee got a result with his request. The checking link thingy has gone for the moment. The rebuild banner is still with us.

Thanks for that Tom.

The 'back to top' arrow is still MIA

I think it looks good, a bit like a Praying Mantis.

The rear light / plate bracket is like that to comply with various rules and regulations found in many countries, but easy to remove and to relocate the said items if desired. The same as many people do with the section of rear mudguard one sees mounted on a bracket affixed to the swinging arm of many bikes, now they are an eyesore which serves very little purpose....

Like this, looks crap IMO but agreed, in the UK it must project beyond the rear tyre.

Twin and triple SU setups were for people who liked to faf around all weekend twiddling with the balance instead of driving the car or who couldn't afford a DCOE or IDA Weber setup.

 

I had original Minis, not easy to install Weber carbs.

Have seen intakes protruding through the bonnet, one installation cut the firewall.

@boydeste I bet the butcher is pleased to see you 

Still have a pair of SU carbs believed to be for a Spitfire, bodies unused, dashpots and pistons secondhand though. Must be going on for 50 years old.

Just watched Noppon Saengkham beat Ronnie O'Sullivan, from 2-0 down he came back to win 4-2

 I am almost embarrassed to say I once owned an MG Midget  🤣

MG Metro Turbo to my shame

Just bought 4 of the Tapo P100 plugs, controlled by phone or programmable and 2 of the P110 plugs, as P100 but include energy monitoring. With UK energy prices it's good to know where your money is going.

I was thinking the same. Basically a billboard advertisement disguised as a city sign.

Judging by the number of Thais milling around, I always thought Pattaya City Hospital was public, assumed Memorial could be private.  I am willing to be corrected.

Something that just occurred to me. Why would they put up a sign directing you to a hospital 1.2km away when Pattaya Memorial is only 200m farther down Klang? Amazing Thailand.

 

Just a guess but public v. private hospital?

Home button on the keyboard does the same thing, but having the mouse clickable button on the screen saves us lazy folk reaching for the keyboard.

Yep, great when using my laptop, not so great when using a tablet.

Please can we have the back to top arrow again?

Also see the notice about search index, still ongoing?

The search index is currently processing. Activity stream results may not be complete

MIA, send out a search party

Would appreciate the return of the back to top arrow.

Worked with a guy nicknamed Arfur 'cos he only never finished a job.

Bastard used to call me Justin.

What a joke. Glad this nonsense was canceled, but just goes to show everyone once again the country is being run by a bunch of amateurs.

I had a picture in my mind of an official at BKK Arrivals calling out "All vaccinated passengers go to Immigration counters 1-15. Those not vaccinated go to holding area and have 5k ready for PCR test. Any who fail will be removed to ASQ hotels at their cost.

Could be good news if the Chinese Vaccines are not on the Thai FDA accepted vaccines list.

Looks like they are approved
