  1. Thanks guys. Will definitely reconsider the London Eye. He used to be a big dinosaur fan, so the Natural History museum is probably best. Thanks for the heads-up about Tussauds. A football match would be great but nothing on on the days we're there. Might try and take him to a Southampton or Pompey game when we're down south. We already have tickets for Oliver the Musical ("Consider yourself...").
  2. I have two days in London in April with my kid, and it will only be his second UK visit. On the first two he was 6-months and 4, this time he'll be 10. Thinking of: the London Eye, Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Madame Tussauds or London Dungeon. We can probably only fit in two. Any recommendations?
  3. Yes. That is the reported cause. Very tragic.
  4. He's just looks like a man with a beard. They could pass it off as Jesus.
  5. I don't think the OP is interested or even still around...
  6. Why does anyone get tattooed? They look awful.
  7. Not so sure about that. Streetwalkers soliciting on Beach Road are regularly arrested (and then let go!)
  8. Has "transferring an extension to a new passport" been added to the appointment list for CW? Last time I tried, it wasn't available.
  9. Yes, I agree. It's also strange how he's holding back on releasing the Epstein files. Hmmm, why would that be?
  10. Maybe the 'Pee-gate' video really does exist? How else can you account for Trump's shameless fawning over Putin?
  11. Chiang Mai and the north is far worse. Pattaya and Hua Hin are not much better than Bangkok. Maybe you should apply your concern to the whole of Thailand or even Asia?
  12. You've asked the question, wait for replies. There are many knowledgable members to help you.
  13. I hope you're right. The German equivalent looks like doing well in the election on Sunday. They do have proportional representation, but all the other parties have agreed not to go into coalition with them, so they are unlikely to achieve any pwer.
  14. Actually, no. I tend to agree with the government that the BBC are wrong on this one, even if it is mostly semantics. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67076341
  15. Season 3 started a few days ago. Even if you haven't seen Seasons 1 & 2 (set in Hawaii and Sicily), you should watch this. Some great Samui locations, amazing photography and some great takes on western and Thai culture. The characters are intriguing and beautifully acted. Even Lisa from Blackpink is believable! I have no idea how it will turn out, but I suspect the Wellness industry will get a bashing.
  16. No, I'm not Muslim or Christian. Isn't Allah just God anyway? Muslims and Christians seem to thank him a lot!
  17. So should the BBC be biased towards Israel? Being neutral and objective pleases neither side. Although by no means perfect, thank God for the BBC.
  18. We used to live in a condo that was adjacent to the motorway running through Ploen Chit in Bangkok. Every Saturday night between 1-3am there would be car racers zooming by, cutting in and out of taxis, fuel tankers and other drivers, making a terrible noise. Nobody except me, and certainly not the authorities, seemed bothered!
  19. And sadly they are likely to benefit from these terrorist attacks.
  20. No. But I consider it to be the lowest from of wit, so enjoy calling people out on it!
  21. Difficult to do unless you can define "non-qualified", especially when Thailand requires a university degree (in any subject) to teach English but not a proper TEFL certificate! In the UK and Europe a degree is also required, but also a CELTA or Trinity TESOL.
  22. While he is obviously mentally ill, I'm sure he is also a radical Islamist just like the attacker in Munich.
  23. I hope he appreciates the grammar lesson! It's astonishing how little most native speakers understand about the use of their language.
