I'd be more interested in other parts of his body!

Rather splendid historic building in Whitehall.

Very helpful, though the massage places like Green and Avarin, etc, should not be bright red, as they have just as many female masseuses, as male. I know you can get lucky, I did(!), but they are, I think, really foot massage shops, with some extras. Certainly the clientela is mixed.

Or "who are the hors d'oeuvres".

I am hoping to go for Sakura time next year!

John the Baptist?

I stayed at the Oriental Bangkok, as it was then, many years ago, on business. I couldn't turn off the bedside radio. On examination, it transpired that the radio had been wired through the wall to the next room, through a neat hole! The noise i heard was next door's radio! Not bad for one if the 'best' hotels in the world. I changed rooms. Prices are now extortionate. Also, as someone commented, the gorgeous lift boys, in national costume, are no more!

What a helpful post!

They are diminishing fast!

I couldn't agree with you less!

Poland is not far from Spain!

"There's some old saying about Moths in a purse /wallet - meaning either someone is so broke or mean with their money that Moths have set up in thre"

You managed to keep busy!

I think that's right. You need to have pedicure. Good place in Surawong just by patpong, on same side. Can't remember name. Quite smart.

You must like moths!

I bet you want to steal the faucets!

Indeed so! Andrew Mountbatten Windsor OGB? Mind you it's just as well the Royal family changed their name during the First World War, or he'd be called Andrew Saxe-Cloburg-Gotha!

Not convincing!

Could be a bit mucky if you haven't prepared!

I could be changed to The Order of Great Britain.

Describes Trump very well!

Row 35 looks good, if you don't mind being in the middle.

If you can get a bulkhead seat, that makes a lot of difference.

Well, I am only talking about flights where you have to change, as the direct flights from UK, BA, Thai and EVA, are all expensive, and strangely similar in price! I have a friend who went on Ethiopian, and he said it was fine. I used to go on Finnair, but they have gone up, and are no longer refundable. If you want a refundable fare, price goes up, and, in my view, you might as well go directChina Southern, and China Airlines i looked at, but usually a long wait to change planes, 12 hours etc. Emirates weren't much good, Turkish was a possibility, but thet have 2 2 2 seating in business class, old style. Gulf looked OK for a while and Austrian, but the fares come and go. You just have to keep looking! I realise that i am being fussy, and not taking the Vinapu route of changing twice, on airlines I had barely heard of!
