Thanks for posting the news BB. Just heard it here in the UK and am gutted. One of the best IMO. RIP Rick.

There have been a couple of recent cases here in the UK of lorry drivers convicted of causing death by dangerous driving - while using their phones. One in particular had dash cam footage which has been shown on TV news. If you haven't seen it over there might be worth searching for. Horrific. The l...

I don't complain when something like that happens. I just never go again. Your attitude is understandle but in my opinion wrong. The British reluctance to complain is one of the reasons that service in the UK is poorer than in many other countries. A complaint can be made politely with the intentio...

I can only tell you what to do with UK mobile numbers. Maybe it is the same with AIS. In the UK mobile companies are legally obliged to provide users with their PAC = Product Access Code. You then give this to the new provider who activates the old number in the new phone. I can't see why that metho...

Brits' resident in Thailand do not receive pension increases unless they are claiming UK residence?

Correct for UK state pensions, but occupational and private pensions continue to increase (or not lol)

Apologies if some ears have been burning in HH - like Buksi, Lomu and HHTel - but just had a great half day out in Hull yesterday with Bamboo Grove, Limelight Paul and Joyce. A pic is on Facebook. As always though you get to wondering where some people have gone, so any info on Rune would be appreci...

They are bound to give the Palace a good view I think. Pray for a clear day and please send them back home!

Iconic new buildings the world over seem to be hated at first. I think this will be the case with this one,we can judge after a few years. I guess that's true but still can't help thinking that many new 'iconic' buildings are just ego trips for the architects. By comparison the Bayoake One looks cu...

Yes, one says you can be a better you and the other says convert or we'll kill you.

Before going to Thailand I always imagined that Buddhist were peace loving and kind to all living things. How wrong can you be!
