To be fair I rarely paid for flights, and my daughter lived there at the International Village and I stayed with her or in airline accommodation. Last time I was there was on a trip back from Australia, I was travelling free and got bumped off in Singapore, I spent six nights in the departure lounge, as I was too tight to buy a ticket, before blagging a flight that would get me to Dubai. Emirates said they could get me to Manchester that afternoon or Newcastle the next day. I showed my ID and asked if I could go in the first class lounge till the next day, they said ok, so free food and drink all night ! To old for all that now, just bought tickets for my daughter in law and grandson, Jeddah-Dubai-Newcastle round trip, just about exactly £2,000. Cheers. So do you think it will be hard to beat a grandish to fly to South East Asia this year charts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got chatted up by a lady 2 weeks ago,invited me out for a drink (I am teetotal) and I look like shit warmed up normally,it’s not about women,it’s just about kicking about and going on walkabout,plus I have a few things to do over here,we are a long time dead. Why not go to Tibet or Xinjiang?Or Kashmir (Indian one),Bangladesh maybe? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vietnam or indo,but Xinjiang used to be dirt cheap and it’s one of those places you rarely meet people who have been.I stayed in a hotel there where the water in the rooms didn’t work so had to shower in a boiler room,that was cheap,also stayed in a yurt which cost nowt.Kashmir is stunning. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

downsouth 7,143 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 I always find it strange that whenever Thailand gets mentioned the first thing certain people think of is hookers and Ladyboys.Not stunning scenery,beautiful beaches,great weather,amazing food,great fishing.And then they have the nerve to say any bloke who goes to Thailand is probably a perve.Need to have a long hard look at themselves if the first thing that pops in their head is birds with a cock. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
