So "finished" was the only word heard in English? (and in aviation speak it would be "over and out" if. it was actually a sign off and not 'target destroyed". Too little information, as usual. Back to the Bonnie Blue saga.

So new policy announced but cannot be implemented until after "public consultation". Does the word "consult" mean something different in Thai?

Since when is email not "online"?

When I were a lad I bought "bacon bits" from the grocer at 6d a bag. These were the offcut bits that got produced during the slicing of the bacon. Cue bacon slicer joke: I lost me job at the grocers after I was caught with my tadger in the bacon slicer .... pause for effect .... she got the sack too. I'll get me coat.

Here you go: I didn't get where I am today by eating Thai food (with apologies to Reggie Perrin).

Following on my post above I asked ChatGPT: what capability does Cambodia have to strike targets inside Thailand and what is their range. A table will be helpful? They produced this. So as long as I take my umbrella to protect me from the MIGs I should be OK.

160km to Pattaya (I'm just reviewing my holiday plans).

Sounds like she'd already let in the Chinese:)

unfortunately travelling to Gatwick does seem to have that effect .................

passed what?

Exactly. But we're in a minority. I was-lunching in a pub in Thailand last year and a guy walked past and commented"you don't often see that any more". I was reading a book!

Viber is a monthly subscription so for people like me making only a few landline calls a quarter it works out quite expensive; Skype for many years was a simple top-up when empty subscription which was for me much cheaper. Granted they changed to monthly subscription in recent months but my old credit lasted just long enough.

Agreed. I started using MyTello earlier this month and so far calls to Channel Islands and Singapore successfully completed. It looks like for someone who makes only a few calls a month or a year to overseas landlines this fits the bill.

If it's a Mo Salah shirt I reckon I could manage a dribble.
