  1. Am afraid Sir Keir gains more and more admirers in 2026 as he's calm and level headed leading the country Can you imagine the disgusting Johnson May or the Lettuce leading the country at the moment
  2. Absolutely...the cabin baggage scanner summoned a guy who was joined immediately by another who asked how much cash I had......opened bag at same time grabbing the bank receipts and they were gone in seconds £1000 is the limit at which they "can" ask questions as to origins and answering won it on the dogs is not the right answer lol Declaration level was 10,000 Euro (yep note the different currency)....not sure if thats reverted to equivalent in Sterling since we final left the EU
  3. Agreed I've been picked up twice in the past at Heathrow with cash once by a money sniffer dog at final gate and once via hand luggage scanner Both times similar amounts (in Sterling) to this thread. Had bank receipts for the withdrawals as always and on my way in seconds once shown.
  4. I always put my cabin bag one overhead bin in front of my seat but if I had 200k in it it would go under my seat
  5. This was astonishing Saturday night
  6. Greatest troll ever has to be Trump walking off Air Force one with a body double for Melania in last few hours Guy is an utter criminal disgrace. Now begging for Britains help amongst others all the more hilarious
  7. Chivas replied to georgegeorgia's topic in Pattaya
    I'm in total agreement with the opening post over the amount of collosal peasants roaming the environs Its clear that immigration should immediately stop people entering the country if no hair covered in tatts wearing crocs shorts Chang T shirts or walking on the cracks in the pavement.... Uber riff raff.....auto persona non grata Back to the question........We had an excellent seafood buffet but cant tell you the name as in Thai......if you come along Jomtien 2nd rd heading away from Rhoompo market area towards Na Jomtien after about 3/4 kms there are numerous buffets on both sides of the road It had everything re seafood.......we paid 810 Baht between us dont think there was extras included so 405 baht each Very busy with Thais though
  8. You dont understand pricing levels. The last available seats on any flight at any time are extremely high Always have been. If there are however multiple seats available you'll pick up closer to normal prices Just quickly looked at flights one way on that 21st March seeing you mentioned it and Oman and Saudia normal connections around £700
  9. They just have exacted revenge installing the previous supreme leaders son as new leader ! Not surprsingly man boy Trump is having kittens...
  10. Which just shows what a pathetic creature he is
  11. I've not read the previous comments as yet but the arrogance of this man baby is astonishing Perhaps he should research the back ground of his country a mere novice in historical terms compared to the Persian Empire Its utterly breathtaking his overbearing arrogance
  12. Nahh you dont play that shight with me fella. I avoided using the word trolling in previous post and changed it to babbling/ "Most people tend to talk a lot about where they've been and what they've been doing. Your problems were caused by your loose lips." What loose lips you roaster ! Again what on earth are you babbling about geezer Mods close the thread please before I get banned. The message in OP hopefully conveyed the potential issues that may arise so that will suffice Thanks to all that responded bar one.
  13. What ??? I have no idea what you're babbling about Seriously I started this thread as a slight warning to all Brits that NHS free care is not a given. If you want to move the goalposts start your own thread
  14. Am purely repeating what the senior flight attendant informed me of.....Simple as that As such yes if a medical repatriation requires an ambulance to meet the patient at the aircraft then yes the patient/insurer is apparently getting charged at some point
  15. Yes they need to engage with British crews who had no problems when HMS Conqueror blasting the General Belgrano amidships Mind you its only our quality fighting vessels these days !!
  16. Just been sent this via Messenger
  17. Israel Iraq Iran aiepace closed Qatar now evacuating Americans Shight is hitting the fan. UAE clearly in meltdown as well
  18. Yes I said last night to him proabably better to use his Chase Mastercard in ATM which carries no loading at all (bar local ATM fee) and is flat MC rate. He's clever (and half Thai) so will know to avoid the conversion option. As you say easiest way it would appear. Am surmising there is an ATM at Samui airport (never been personally)
  19. Scam site lol I was inside the Post Office as I normally am once a week !......they are always around 4-5 baht per £1 less than interbank always have been. I didnt price any amount at all. Its on a standatd LED display for all the currencies they use......buying back was actually 52 to the £
  20. One of my lads is inbound to Samui shortly but is ticketed through onwards from Bangkok so wont have the opportunity to get down to the basement to exchange funds prior to connecting flight as will remain airside Any suggestions for exchange places upon arrival ?? Obviously he could obtain some from the UK albeit noticed by chance that the Post Office was 37.xx this morning am sure other providers may be slightly better here in the UK Thanks
  21. Yes exactly....all HMRC or DWP etc etc need to do is ascertain where the very last usage of passport was utilised and they know what country you are in......They may not know exact location but country they certainly do
  22. The contact address is on the bottom of that invoice via Email Send an Email asking what the situation is albeit dont quote the amount of invoice as doubtless they could track it back to me lol not that I've done anything wrong as it turned out
  23. Scuba the minute your passport is scanned on flights cruises etc etc it leaves a trace obviously Who has access to it I dont know but I have no doubt Government computing systems "talk" to each other electronically
  24. Yes I'm 90% better thanks......I had so many different issues including Liver KIdneys Heart (all out of nowhere) plus plenty of other stuff They have all been sorted bar the Atrial fibrillation on my heart......i had an Ecocardigram on 24th December and cardiology are still prevaricating over what medication is required......I have the hospital ringing me this Friday 27th February so hopefully final part of jigsaw completed As regards immigration records no idea where they obtained info from but if your passport is scanned on exit and entry from UK its in the system somewhere
