  1. If its 'only available in Vietnam', how come it has an Indonesian name rather than a Viet name? Clue: It is available in Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
  2. You're reading the wrong things. Agoda charge between 10 and 30 per cent commission - much the same as all the others. If they were to charge the absurd rates you suggest, no hotel would go anywhere near them.
  3. This is like announcing that the Earth is flat, the moon made of green cheese and that Rwanda is safe. Just because the government (or its representatives) say it is true, it doesn't always follow that it is.
  4. Except the UK never was part of the Schengen area and we never lost our sovereignty.
  5. I imagine they just 'cow-tip' him. Once on his back he is helpless and can't get up again. Its that or wave a couple of dozen pies in front of his face to mesmerise him.
  6. The US, same for turkeys which are also immigrants. The roast potatoes come from South America. My favourite christmas meal is the one you get on the plane while flying somewhere warm on Dec25.
  7. That's a very unusual hat he is wearing in the first pic....
  8. The challenge will probably be rebutted on the basis that the extended hours will be great for the economy. The bars sell more drink, the hospitals get more customers and the repair shops are kept busy. It can also generate money for the police in fines/non-fines. Case dismissed....
  9. And even if you can get over all that, it may not thrill owners to find that it takes something like 27 hours to fully charge from a 7.3kWh home charger (unless you just happen to have a 3 phase connector when it can be reduced to a mere 19 hours). Those using a normal mains socket can expect to wait over 3 days.... Hilarious.
  10. Charabanc au flambé for lunch
  11. and one that you can nearly get a bike in the back of.... form over function
  12. That intravenous champagne drip doesn't come cheap.......
  13. They have to steal the fuel so they can get to the temple and make merit to absolve all the crimes they've committed...
  14. Bearing in mind the odds, anyone paying 80baht is totally stupid too.
  15. Decriminialise fraud. What could possibly go wrong???
  16. Well, here's a conundrum...... how does it realise you have said "Alexa" if it isn't active?
  17. Pelican and Puffin crossings are British ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_crossing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican_crossing There is also Toucan crossings (where bicycles and pedestrians can use - Two-can use) and Pegasus crossings (shared between pedestrians and horses) where there is a button 2m high for mounted riders. A veritable menagerie of crossings....
  18. It started many years before Photoshop. Pictures of the Loch Ness monster from the 1920s and way back to the Cottingly fairies of 1917. While Photoshop may have made it easier, it only refined what had been going on for many many decades.
  19. Yes - they're demanding that too....
  20. From the Daily Mail..... the paper that even Wikipedia describes as 'unreliable'. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/08/wikipedia-bans-daily-mail-as-unreliable-source-for-website
  21. Indeed. And the ruling party can now try to get the MF party banned, thus eliminating the main opposition. Its worked in many other countries...
  22. If you were going to start a gang dedicated to crime it does seem a bit silly to call it the Outlaws. They should really consider something a bit less obvious like The Taxi Drivers or The Police.
  23. This sounds very ambitious. Perhaps they should start with some vigorous shuffling first.
