On route we have stopped off for a Premier Inn brekkie, as much as you want for £9.50 per head. Safe travels mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Bad planning weather wise, have been waiting in for 3 deliveries today. It's 28 degrees here and I have to cut the grass and clean the pond filter. Two deliveries have rocked up so hopefully the other will release me to get outside to enjoy the sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 A massive thunderstorm over London tonight. I was driving home from Surrey tonight in the rain and hit a pot hole. Burst a tyre and got absolutely soaked changing a wheel at the roadside. Not in the best of moods as one can imagine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just back from a 2 hour walk (and skulled half a bottle of ice cold Sato!). It was harder than normal for the last 30 minutes (Ooooh Matron!) because on the spur of the moment I popped in to buy a 3 litre box of Nadin for 880 baht @12%. It is the first time in 18 Months that I have bought boxed wine here and I was pleased to see that it was 12% and not 10% and of course it was 880 baht! If those that can remember there was a point last year when the tax shot up so the main producers of boxed wine dropped the ABV to 10%.It looks like things returned to normal without me noticing!

The Nadin has been in the fridge all day so I just poured a glass.....Absolutely fucking disgusting!!! Should have bought the Mont Clair for 920 baht... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just back from a Jethro tull concert in sleepy old halmstad, Sweden. First time they ever appeared here. 55 years on the scene with many line up changes but they still produce the goods.

I've always said that the quasi-military government will be very reluctant to relinquish the TP as it gives them two things they've craved for years: making sure visitors have medical insurance, and a handle on the "dirty falangs" who are coming in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about the CCSA announcements are that my wife and daughter no longer need to apply for a TP. They will though have travel insurance as normal when we go away. Just me presently to register the TP but as I am not going till July that may yet not be something I need to be concerned with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just been shafted on Viagogo for £122 for a £60 ticket for The Cure at Wembley Arena in December. Can't find any cheaper, seems sold out everywhere. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VID-20220520-WA0001.mp4 We saw them I think in 2018 at The Royal Albert Hall,absolutely brilliant and at times totally off the wall. There was a guy in full scuba diving gear wandering around the audience for most of the show and half way through Anderson did a sketch to promote prostate cancer testing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them a few times over the years. He plays that flute like no other. I think a few bar girls I met over the years reminded me of "Cross Eyed Mary" LOL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually though I would opt for a handjob over a BJ. But maybe if I met this Mary girl I would reconsider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when that updated version will be good to go ? They say June 1st. But what if someone is actually catching the flight on June 1 ? You would need to have the OR code before the flight.

Don't normally pay above face value for tickets but made an exception for this gig. Only £64 for the hotel so works out £30 cheaper than the Gary Numan gig a couple of weeks ago in total.

I am not sure but needs to be notified in Royal Gazette before the changes are valid. I did see this today: TAT Newsroom will be providing updates in detail via www.tatnews.org once the official directives have been announced in the Royal Thai Government Gazette.
