Lickee whee!

For those of us in the USA quite disheartening, as our tax dollars supported these carriers ( national agencies as in the case of Qatar) through tax-subsidized loans used to buy the latest from the Boeing fleet. Enjoy the expanded service and cheaper rates mates, we in the USA are glad to pay for this!

Come on now, would we support a bar that abuses its gals? Then why fly Qatar? Qatar Airways is the state-owned flag carrier of Qatar. Qatari security forces this past week have arrested and interrogated a BBC TV crew, while the journalists were on an official press tour to cover FIFA's World Cup 2022 preparations. The government said the crew had broken the law by 'trespassing on private property.' The British journalists were in Qatar, "invited by the prime minister's office," according to BBC correspondent Mark Lobel. The BBC crew was about to film a group of workers from Nepal while gathering "additional material for our report" in the capital city of Doha, Lobel wrote in his piece for the BBC on Monday. This is when, according to the journalist, they were "dramatically" arrested by police. This is country high on the list of human rights abusers.

Any experience with this one?

Soi 15/13 to airport, meter, 350 baht or so.I pay toll toll No meter 400 baht, driver pays toll As I usually have four large suitcases, I'll add 100 baht.

Kayak,com for finding trends. Knowing that most sites will disclose the lowest fare is available through an airline, and that most sites tack on $10-$50 above straight airline fee. Then using my agent to scour trends and seats at the airline at that airline to get me best seat and price. I am going MIA BKK 16 October and seemed destined to Qatar Air at ~$1300. But my agent knew both United and Delta were planning to compete with Qatar. I scored Delta at just under $1200, with a routing that gave me the best chance of upgrading and allowing my 3-70lb luggage pieces (I carry a lot of commercial stuff). Got the word today (12 Oct), I was upgraded. The advantage of an agent is overwhelming, as long as you know the questions. And, no penalty to change or cancel with 24 hours of reservation (payment not due for 24 hours as well). By the way, this fare is almost $1000 usd more than I paid in June. Thank you Qatar for fare drop. I could have found $1155 flights, but travel time was 30 hours plus.

I'll be at the Citrus on Suk 13 ta late June. Guest Friendly, I know, but for 2 LB's as guests? Thanx Robert

Yes,in that side Soi opposite about the Supermarket. Excellent, quality food!

When stuck where there is no bumgun, I opt for a 16 oz bottle of Coca Cola, not out of the cooler of course. After one early and particularly intense session involving a bit of fisting, I was complimented: "You are very clean!" That technique became a preference after that.

There is always EBAY as well! Just be sure to check the { } NEW option. I always opt for Amazon. I favor being topped, bringing a smaller number of large for me, and a set of magnum size (not brand) for my LB-F.

Bottoms Up!

I hope your Doc did better in his health courses than in statistics! Each "flip of the coin" is an independent event. Each flip in a series is 50-50. You can bet the series, but let's say for simplicity sake, three flips...then there are 8 outcomes. (23). No matter the history, each flip is 50-50. A three-sided coin, 1/3 --1/3--1/3 for each flip Three "shots?" 27 outcomes, but each flip is still 1/3 --1/3--1/3.

Also note that Google translate is available through Chrome, auto-engaged. Jing is what? Sometimes it works well, sometimes not so well. For Spanish, Portugese, French, It works very well.

And those groups from Liechtenstein and the Andorra...polite when alone,. but catch a group together, well you are stuck behind them on Suk. for the entire walk

Have to leave id('s, np with 1+) with guard. Lowest prices may be in building across street, smaller rooms. Well appointed gym/pool is across the street at the main building. Still with room safe, etc. Not luxury at lowest price range, but definitely standard++ It's serviced apartment, and all those rules and freedoms apply. I stayed there many times, and at other "Grand" properties as well.

I heartily agree. Fine food and excellent service.

EBAY/Amazon can supply varying sizes anal plugs. Never ride a bike without training! Added link : http://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/thumbnails.inkfrog.com/pix/bigdog123/ac541-xl-helmet-head-plug-bulk.jpg/450/0 This is approximately 5 cm wide (2" or so) You can start at 1. or 1.75 inches I recommend the glass, nor rubber/plastic.

Eats: Oskars!

Kayak does that

Simple, it's not the site, it's the airline. They release blocks of seats (all computerized releases) at prices intended to have that flight generate a positive cash flow, perhaps even a profit. Other blocks are held, pending demand. If demand is soft closer to departure, then the next block is released at a lower price and is snapped up by those who are randomly there that day. If we happen to be at Kayak that day, we think Kayak was a good deal. If demand is good, the next block goes at a higher price. The first block is then gobbled up, and hapless newcomers are left at the higher price. A few sites show "price trends"...a great tool.

A USA (only) perspective: From this side of the ponds, excepting consolidators. no, underscore no website will offer a better deal than your local travel agent. Likewise for an airline website (equals the agent, but service is minimal). It's an illusion that the generic websites (Travelocity, Kayak) etc.) can get you a better price. They scan the same web you do...and an agent does, and most add a fee. The advantage of an agent is gets you the same price, and if you have a good client-provider relationship, will fight over things such as cancellations, name changes, etc. And an agent can look at the price/seat map. I once booked tickets at AA because they said the low fare seats were limited. They were, six weeks in advance. Later they opened up a whole other even lower priced section, not visible earlier to web/Kayak searches and with zero bookings. Your agent can tell you: Look, they are jerking us around. It's your call, but I think they will drop the price. Another airline website trick: they can easily track your computer info, recording you as a newcomer, a possible buyer or a hot prospect. Search a fare, come back the next day. They know you were there and "hotter," so they restrict your pricing options. Same as selling sunglasses on Sukhumvit, except with MIT-produced software! They ( Delta, Air France, United, Thai Airways, Lufthansa, etc.) are not there to "serve" us, they are there to make money. My advice, a "million miler" on both United and Delta, Get an agent you trust, explore you options on the web(Kayak is great) then buy from an agent, or the airline (as a loyal customer) if you so choose. They are there to make money as well, but a long-term trusting relationship is the vehicle. Hassle index goes down significantly. Concentrate of the gals!

I second (eyelift) and third(wife's facial) that recommendation

The is an option to review name changes here at BLBF, but I cannot find the option to change my "name." ???

Thanx.... I tried AIS for a USB wireless stick...on Soi 13/Suk it was lousy! Slow and intermiitent
