You obviously have no idea what a proper English breakfast is.

On the contrary, I know full well what it is. I just dont like all parts of it (notably beans and sausage).

Casa Pascal's buffet seems a much better deal both qualitatively and quantitatively. Cheaper too.

Point taken....so why are you commenting on Gregs if it doesn't suit your particular taste? Posted Image

Why would anyone bother with a 180B set breakfast in this place when you can get an entire buffet brunch in a fairly classy place like Casa Pascal for less cost?

Seems a bit daft to me.

Because you cannot get a proper English breakfast in pascals. Pretty obvious. Not everyone worries about their pennies, darrel.

This employer is breaking the law and robbing his employees as well. Disgraceful.

#5318161 Flying With Supplementary Oxygen

Why pay extra get it free! I too have a lung disease and sometimes when flying need oxygen. Just call a member of the airline staff and tell them that you feel unwell and have a chest pain. Within minutes you will have all the oxygen. you need and free? No, with the price of tickets nowadays I paid for it in the airfare. All aircraft carry emergency oxygen bottles. Call me mean, i just think that I'm getting greater value for money!

But it could be much worse.

We could be Australian.

I have used the excess insurance companies and they are certainly a lot cheaper than the excess insurance offered by the rental companies.

One thing worth bearing in mind though, the rental companies will still
block the excess on your credit card and will take the excess in the event of any damage to the car, you then have to reclaim the excess from your insurance.

In response in general to some of the sniping flavored comments here:

1. I never said nor have I ever thought that the USA is the leader in same sex marriage rights. It is obviously behind the curve of a number of countries.
2. When Obama makes news, as president of the country which has
- the largest economy on the planet
- the most powerful military on the planet
- arguably the most influence globally on the pop culture front
- a large country both geographically and in population, etc.
- home of the primary global reserve currency

it makes an international impact in a way that a statement from the President of Bolivia (for example) simply does not.

No, the USA is not the only important country in the world but most objective observers would still say it is still the most important one currently.

Note I said most important country. Not best country.

So when a president of the USA makes an historic announcement about a social issue that is important in many countries of the world (some ahead of the USA, some behind it) yes of course it is definitely news.

Also, of course, Obama in particular is quite popular in particular as world leader, and at the very least someone who is known by name by most of the world:
http://thehill.com/b...ar-world-leader

As I expected it is also reported in the THAI press. Does that mean there will suddenly be a massive drive of Thai gay people to work on this issue? As I said before, I don't really think so. But one never knows. Is legal same sex marriage desirable in Thailand as it is desirable in Argentina? Yes, I think so just as I think its a good thing there is health care available in Thailand and traffic lights. It isn't cultural imperialism to have opinions about what is good or not. It would be cultural imperialism to FORCE your values on a foreign people, and as we know, that doesn't play in Thailand!

Jingthing it was you that mentioned Barack Obama in the OP, if you mention something in the OP you should expect people to comment on it.

Try to control yourself and keep US domestic politics out of topics. Posted Image

Perhaps this should be moved to the North Carolina forum.

Isn't this a Thailand related forum? What do the expressed views of the lost-tribe of Neanderthals found living in North Carolina have to do with Thailand?

I started this thread for a very good reason. Because it was obvious, and also in the global news, that President Obama's announcement was going to have an impact GLOBALLY.

Jingthing, just how do you think what the President of a foreign country 'thinks' will affect the gobal population?

Some look to America and do the opposite.

Not going to touch that way or this will go way off topic. Suffice it to say Obama made an historic announcement and it was not only news in the USA; it was news worldwide.

Mate, no problem and I wasn't trying to subvert your thread.
Just that you made it your opening line as the OP, hence worthy for comment.

We are currently having a similiar debate in Australia on the issue of Gay Union/marriage.

Jingthing lifted an entirely domestic US story and attempted to weld it onto Thailand.

The concept of the US being a world leader on this issue is absurd.

Excuse me, but I NEVER said you can't find Chicken Tikka Masala on some menus in India! I said it is a British dish. It IS a British dish. Now EXPORTED to India FROM the UK. Get it? And this has NOTHING to do with snobbery.

Excuse me, but I never said you said you can't find Chicken Tikka Masala on some menus in India. Stop getting so uppity.

This "food snob" thing is just obnoxious name calling. This is called a discussion.

I am enjoying the discussion, but sorry to say that you come across as a total food snob. This may not be the case, and if it isn't then I suggest you amend the way in which you reply to others posts. You are not the authority you think you are.

I agree with others. Why book with Thai and suffer poor service on old planes without even seatback TVs? If you want to fly direct then I, too, would recommend EVA.

I have had seat back TVs in my last 4 flights LHR to BKK return.
They have upgraded the planes recently both the 747s and the 340/600s.
