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!

I've been lucky with Avios on BA. As a Gold member for life, they say more seats are made available. Which may be true. Next year I have a return business class trip to California, and to Sydney, twice, with Avios. I use Seatspy, where can check instantly whether there is availability in all classes, and set an alert to be told if seats come up. That's how I got one flight to Sydney. No luck with Bangkok though! I have to pay for that. I'm thinking of trying Ethiopian, good reviews, and quite cheap.

I didntvrealise that Abu Dhabi had relocated to Africa!

He pawned them!

Except for Hollywood insisting on an American, William Holden, being inserted into the plot, and being given lead billing!

Hopefully!

Interesting! I have a gay friend in Bangkok who has been walking in Bhutan for the last 2 weeks, or so he says! I'll ask him about these issues next month, when I am in Bangkok!

Do you ever find a guy who will cum twice?

Death railway is well worth the drive. There is a small museum there which is very interesting. The Japanese treated their own soldiers badly, as well. Also many more locals died on the railway than POWs. A beautiful, if that's the right word, war cemetery. Re Ayutthaya, I used Mac, from Siamroads, as my guide. Very good, and, at my request, took me to interesting parts of the city not much frequented by tourists. Many years ago, I came back by boat, run by the Shangri-la hotel, was good, but not sure it's still running. That tour included the summer Palace at Bang Pa In, which we enjoyed.

But he had a good circle of friends!

I agree. The British press, or at least the tabloids, and a couple of publications that used to be newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Express, publish anything they can find on the Royals, and, nothing on this. If true it would have been the biggest news story for decades, and the comments by @PeterRS. trying to defend his article are hopeless. A modest, sorry I was wrong, would have been appropriate. Perhaps too much for him.

"They can't all be weakening." Indeed!

Yes, agreed, but doesn’t work if driver is drunk, or stoned, which seems quite likely.

Probably unwise, even if you do know him well.
