Try Mox travel in Bangkok ,google it ,they are 1st class always get the cheapest quotes ,but they change all the time so look every day or so

everything can be done online ,and print off your ticket.

Have to tell the wife(when she comes back from school) that its ok we can stay together after all

The pound hitting 50 seems to be fading back into folklore right now.

Got 49.20 on a tt yesterday ,so not complaining ,as i work on 48

I cant even remember my passport no ,so how in the hell can i remember my wifes id no ? yes i know where it and her house book is ,its in my files ,but remember the no,give us a break

Don't you have anything better to do than nitpick the wording of a poll?

There really are some very sad people on this forum.

sorry ,i dont think of you as sad ,but whatever, up to you.

Parked outside a bar once and the guy with a motorbike gouged along my bumper, i kicked his bike over and just looked him in the eye ,he backed down ,so i drove off . mind you i never went back and parked there again

I got a Raymond weil watch, also i got a lovely card that she made herself

As to what do we bring to Thailand ,Christmas with all the trimmings ,tree turkey dinner , roast parsnips (which the familly had never tasted ,but now travel from BKK to enjoy) its just like a christmas in England in our house and the kids all come to look at the tree and the lights ,in fact a few of our neighbours now even put up christmas lights themselves .

Wow, this topic has shrunk, not often I see over half the posts removed.

Yes i notice that mine was ,i was only taking the p--s as well not being serious, some people are so touchy,you want to give them a smack ,oops.

Who the hell wants to watch it anyway? what a waste of Money when the country ias sinking under a burden of debt.

People who are jelous that they were not born British always try to knock us ,never mind son ,just keep on posting and thinking your lot are the best. we understand

I was unfortunate enough to have been born British, I would swap my passport for a passport from any of the major EU countries, Canada, Thailand, Equador, etc. Not the USA, Australia or NZ as they treat their pensioners even worse than the UK.

so tell me what is the old age pension in Thailand at the moment ,higher than my British pension? would love to know

The Thai Social Security system pays retirees about THB5,200 a month.

Well in that case i am glad i get my British pension ,because i give my son a larger monthly allowance than that ,while he is in uni in BKK .

Could be on a par with the Germans. But no!

Little deluded brains, on a little bankrupt piece of ruined island, felt they were to secure their place as a World Power.

Not much changed really, with Gourden "I saved the World" Brown (what is that guy doing nowadays? Maybe looking up his kilt to find out what went wrong) and the two Schoolboys telling the powerful Angie 'NEIN' Merkel what to do.

yes i must say that i am most immpressed with them ,a large amount of cash from ,my nationwide account has just been sent over ,by by nationwide.

while i was over in the uk i opened an account with the metro bank ,very handy as they have no charges on their use of a debit card over here(just like the nationwide used to )

well i gave it a go and to my suprise where other banks were giving about 48.70 on tt rates i got just over 49 so seems that they are onto a winner .

i must say as well that opening an account with them was a pleasure and i got my debit card there and then .even set up my online banking there in the branch .

You 2 were lucky to have moved when you did, I notice the £ has dropped quickly of late with the Greek election due on the 17th June it will be interesting to see what transpires shortly after that. Surely they will see they are far better of in the Union with backing of the Euro, either way their pain will go on for a fair time yet. The big question is when they get to the polling station will they think of themselves and the "promises" made or the country?

themselves,just as they always have

I brought two big squeezy bottles of it back with me ,and i am not telling where i live.

seriously i cannot understand why they only have the small glass bottles of it here ,never the big plastic ones ,have you tried villa?

luckily i changed a large amount at 49.50 but dont hold out a lot of hope for that again soon.

I know that this will seem like a group hug (until the nay-sayers arrive), but I'm 100% in accord with smokie36 ... my Thai Lady is also lovely

Want to know more about

Fish Farms or a simple Australian Visa Application ?

So is mine10/10

i wish i was a Brit, owned Sterling and could therefore kneel down before going to bed and pray "Dear <insert deity>, please consider the centuries and make the Pound buy 50 or more Baht again!"

Keep taking the medication Naam, it's all rosy in Europe and for the euro while you do. Plenty of time to come back to reality and in your dreams you can be joined by 12drinktomuch

why would i care about bloody Europe and why would i care about the €UR? all my life i have been a cosmopolitan in each and every respect. it's not me who lives in Nakhon Nowhere needing medication to cure hallucinations of "century old currencies" as well as "failed ones" or compensate for wet dreams and frustration by making uneducated and unfounded ridiculous claims and then trying to divert with even more ridiculous and irrelevant comments

Whatever

Pound Hits 50, How Long Will The Trend Last?

the trend did not last very long.

Ever the pessimist regarding Britain Naam ,still whatever makes you happy.

why, pray tell, would i have a reason to be a pessimist regarding some remote island located somewhere in the North Sea?

Because we had the sense to keep out of the failed attempt by Germany and their cheese eating buddies the French to take over Europe by having that failed euro,oh that we had never listened to the traitor Edward Heath and stayed out of the e.u.

The Germans tried twice to take over that remote island somewhere in the north sea before ,they didn't manage it then ,they won't manage it now.
