    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?

    Preservative
  10. Mario Cosmopolite
    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.
  12. Mario Cosmopolite
    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.

    I suspect that the real requirement is that it must be submitted not more than 3 days before arrival (same as Singapore, which includes a health declaration, so the 3-day maximum makes sense). I'm leaving my next trip for at least a month after this starts so they can iron out all the glitches.

    Yes Seismic retrofitting is well establish ed. Japan are probably the most expert.

    I'd settle for the wire ties for the steel bars ....

    Agreed the rail land bridge was never going to be a sensible project (though that doesn't mean the Chinese wouldn't support it) but I believe this is back to the old canal project.
  18. Mario Cosmopolite
    Myanmar ports are not a practical exit for goods from China to the west, even when Burma was a reasonably stable country.
  19. Mario Cosmopolite
    Agreed the rail connection was not a credible project. This is I believe a return to the canal project, which has been around for much longer - no transshipment needed but much more expensive, especially as the largest container ships have got a lot bigger over the last 20 years.

    Better examples than Saville would be all the ones we have never heard of. The ones who are good at it, - like Saville but better.

    reigns are for kings. reins are for horses.

    I suddenly realised that this was a very old joke... "Open your wallet, and repeat after me: 'help yourself' "

    In Terry Pratchett's Diskworld he describes a land called 4X (nothing like any country in our round world of course) in which it is the standard procedure to lock up all politicians as soon as they get elected; as the jailor explained to Rincewind The Wizzard: "it saves time".

    · the airport was juggling between 5,000 to 6,000 passengers per hour. · Airports of Thailand (AOT) and Immigration Division 2 are joining hands to tackle a pressing issue Y'see - when you're juggling it's best not to join hands

    He could invite Ginge & Whinge - ginge is a maestro of aviation or something ....
