  1. And the award for this week's biggest chip on the shoulder goes to........
  2. I don't think so. 99.9% sure you need a Thai bank account. You could try True Money, maybe that can be topped up from abroad (I have no idea)?
  3. What is this, a quiz??? If you know the answer why don't you tell us it then.
  4. This is correct. I would have thought it was very obvious.
  5. That indeed is cool but I had a Lexus with this feature 10-12 years ago. At the time I thought it was so simple and useful why does no one else do it. My Volvo XC40 also does it. Talking of simple but cool/useful, my Volvo has two keys (that only stay in your pocket). You can attach a driver profile to each one so if you enter the carwith your key it immediately puts everything as you like it: seat position, mirrors, aircon, stereo volume and settings, lighting, driving mode. Enter the vehicle with the other key and it goes to however that person likes it. So simple but so so useful, maybe that is commonplace in other marques too? It's one of my favourite things but such a simple concept.
  6. Saw this today.
  7. I would be incredibly keen at that price. I really like the ex30 but it's 1.9m for the version I would want, and it is quite small. I am definitely going to check out the Seal next weekend.
  8. Ah, ok - hardly anything for them to shout about!
  9. Doesn't point #11 say "Screen film"?
  10. It is a satellite concourse - it doesn't have check-in or immigration. Just like any other satellite concourse if you land there you will get an APM (automated train) which brings you to the main terminal and drops you right in front of immigration. You will go through immigration and baggage claim as usual, and the ARL is right there. Before anyone moans that they don't want to take a train to immigration after a long flight, this would actually be quicker and have much less walking involved than if you parked at A, B, C or E, F or G gates, especially the higher numbered ones. The APM train literally drops you right next to immigration.
  11. How so? They ran out of money in 1997 as did so many other people after the "Asian Tiger" bubble burst. I was here then and the abandoned buildings littered the city. As the article said a good majority have since been finished. So what is your insight? How was this one killed by corruption? Intrigued to know, you must have something juicy. (Or is this just another thread that you feel you have to say something critical on like pretty much every single other topic on AN). All ears.
  12. Why do so many posters here just post replies based on a headline and not based on the article? Does my head in.
  13. Yes, there is an underground APM system to take you to this satellite concourse in this modern airport.. Why do you think there isn't?? It is a three minute journey. If you can't be bothered to click a link to read an article (which has a description of the underground APM and also pictures), then please don't bother to comment, just move along - you are ridiculous, sorry.
  14. Okey dokey, have a nice day. You are denying what you wrote and are still trying to twist it. Don't you see that what I commented originally made sense in response to what you had written? Then later you added more info and changed the meaning completely when you realised you had made a mistake, but you still deny the original comment and try to attack for some weird reason. Very childish. Very weird. Can't be bothered any more.
  15. Yes, creamy sauces are common. Not my cup of tea, but a creamy mushroom sauce is fine. RichardSmith already pointed it out but you clearly said you cook a steak in salt, pepper, butter and cream. You are now talking about cream sauces which are totally different - you don't cook the steak in cream. Anyway, you changed and u-turned. Not interested anymore. Carry on.
  16. You said "cook with salt, butter and cream". What you posted is a herb and cream sauce, totally different, and - I must say - pretty disgusting looking. If I have a good cut of beef the last thing I want to do is drown it in some nasty cream sauce. But up to you. Do you also like a steak with BBQ sauce? Seems like you don't know how to cut a cook piece of steak to appreciate it for what it is.
  17. And you cook a steak in it?? Steak: reddy brown thing sold in shops, usually cooked with salt, pepper, garlic, thyme or rosemary. Never heard of anyone - home cook or restaurant chef - cooking a steak in cream.
  18. And how is that any different to anywhere unless tube trains drop you at your house? Public transport here has developed a hell of a lot over the last 25 years. It is by no means perfect but it's not bad. Saying it is rubbish unless you live next to a station is a bit silly.
  19. Sorry, any list that has Filipino food above Thai, Malaysian, British, Lebanese, Pakistani, and Belgian food has zero credibility. Any list that has Filipino food in anythign but last place has no credibility. But seriously, it is above Thai??
  20. It is absolutely stunning. I can't wait until you get yours and can post some first hand experiences.
  21. British teeth are no better or worse than anywhere really, but we don't do cosmetic dentistry generally - we get stuff fixed when it needs to be. However Americans tend to go for super white, straight, Hollywood teeth and we don't so anything more normal gets categorised as "bad teeth". I used to get metal fillings as a kid - not white fillings. Also we started putting flouride in our domestic water supply decades after the US and I think a lot of the stigma comes from those years when our teeth probably were significantly worse. But not these days.
  22. An amazing brag post............with frozen oven chips. Skills.
  23. The anonymous internet tough guy thinks GR can barely cook.
