  1. Sorry you have no right to complain about a 99 baht steak. At all.
  2. Fire shows have been going on there for at least 25 years although they have got a bit more sophisticated in the last 10. I used to go there almost 30 years ago, accommodation was super basic but it was beautiful. Then maybe 15 years ago I felt the whole island was run down and dirty - checked out of Samet Villa with my wife, kids, parents after one night as it was disgusting and fled back to the mainland. Didn't go back for ten years. Went back five years ago and it was back to being idyllic again. Very clean beaches, clean water, lovely sand, really good resorts, restaurants, beach bars. Now I'm back to being a regular visitor. Two hours' drive from Bangkok and ten minutes on a speedboat, it's so easy.
  3. Cue the usual parade of AN posters who get outraged when people fundraise after a tragedy.
  4. Wow, my memory must be getting bad. I totally forgot the bit where the OP was clipped round the ear. I only remember the part where he was asked a couple of bog standard questions and then stamped in - I guess I should go back and re-read it.
  5. Obviously weren't sober when you cooked any of those "dishes".
  6. So you think it's OK for a country to forcibly evict people from their native homeland in order to pathetically hand it over to the US to build a military facility, and then over decades prevent these people from being allowed to return home? Do you even know the history of this saga or how unfairly and inhumanely these people have been treated? If Starmer reverses this decision then it just cements the UK's position as America's lapdog. I hope he stands firm and does the correct moral - and legal - thing.
  7. Because maybe they want to give him a burial at home in their traditional religious way with family. Did you consider that? Some people are so ignorant and callous it is beyond belief.
  8. Ridiculous political grand standing and protectionism from the self proclaimed free market leader of capitalism. Poor Americans forced to pay more for inferior products but, you know, USA! USA! USA! The rednecks will be happy. Pay more for a terrible Ford than get a great BYD. I hope China bans Teslas, Apple and other American products in response. Trade wars don't end well for anyone but if Trump or Biden is dumb enough to start one then let them fail. And of course I am sure Musk has no hand in this, no siree, no conflicts of interest there. Meanwhile the rest of us will be able to buy superior products at good value prices. Let America drown in its own nationalist excrement.
  9. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 137 seconds  
  10. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 76 seconds  
  11. Nonsense. All cars have LED day time running lights - much more visible than white paint.
  12. I think that's true of most manufacturers' own navigation platforms. My Volvo's in-built navigation is useless, it can't find anything you want. And it's route planner always seems worse than what Google suggests. The only good thing about it is lane guidance and turn by turn instructions appear in the driver binnacle display but that's useless when the actual navigation is useless. Think I've used it twice but since then always use Google as it is infinitely better. (Newer Volvos have Google built in and they scrapped their own system). Not sure why manufacturers still try to do their own navigation.
  13. Can't help you with your main questions but I would say if you are only staying overnight then don't use the long term car park. Just park in the regular short stay car park. It is only 250 baht per 24 hours, it is covered, it is connected directly to the terminal. Long term parking is remote from the terminal, not covered, and you have to wait for shuttle buses. And at 140 baht per 24 hours you're only saving 110 baht per day but adding a ton of inconvenience. If you are not familiar with it you enter on the 5th floor. Don't think about trying to park there as that is where the bridge to the terminal is so everyone tries to park there. Just go straight down one or two floors and there is loads of parking. Good luck with the journey!
  14. Please point out where he apologised for them.
  15. Looks like a Fiat Multipla. And that's not a good thing.
  16. Only exists in your head. It was a meaningless political pointscoring game by the Tories and rightfully rejected. Quite appalling political grandstanding and the hypocrisy of the Tories in calling for it is sickening. Kier has said he will carry out all the recommendations proposed by the first enquiry - you know the one that was done under the Tories and the one that they decided to ignore completely. He also said any further enquiries should be done at a local level in Oldham, you know, exactly as the Tories said should happen (but then didn't). See if you can read this: https://news.sky.com/story/mps-vote-against-new-national-inquiry-into-grooming-gangs-13285629 Please don't project such rubbish. I know it's a favourite tactic of yours to make up what others are thinking, but please don't tell me I want the results of an enquiry swept under the carpet when I have never said or implied such a thing, especially when it was your beloved Tories who actually did just that whilst Labour are saying they will carry out all its recommendation in full. Do you ever actually engage in constructive debate?
  17. Delusional. Absolutely living in a fantasy land. What on earth are you on about? What do I want brushed under the carpet?
  18. Ah, of course. So when you are wrong you make something up about reform saving the day rather than just admitting you were wrong. Hilarious, but to be expected. Because there was a wider investigation in to police misconduct as there was footage of a police officer stamping on one of their heads. This is exactly what we said to you at the time but you just blathered on about "two tier Kier" and other stupid cliches. Once the investigation was complete, charges against the police were dismissed and the nose breakers were charged. It is called "due process". Hilarious that you think reform had anything to do with it - you are more deluded than I thought.
  19. And another one was that the Manchester airport guys wouldn't be either.
  20. Ah, resorting to fake outrage rather than discussing or reading. Pathetic, and pointless.
  21. How is explaining what it was about a "twisty deflection"? Maybe you didn't know that, maybe you didn't read the link, maybe you just react to people snipping one thing out of context, you get all aggrieved very easily, and you don't research for yourself. Sad.
  22. It was a parody, it was not supposed to be taken literally, it was being ironic. But you knew that. She has a long standing history of speaking out against grooming gangs, violence against women and children. From the link above: In 2020, Ms Shah successfully sued the campaigning group Leave.EU after it called her a “grooming gang apologist” in a 2019 Facebook post. The group apologised and accepted Ms Shah was a "vociferous campaigner for victims of grooming gangs", said their post was “ill-judged and untrue” and paid her damages for libel.
