Re: Dubai airport (DXB) flooded
I too was caught up in the chaos and mayhem at Dubai airport after the storm. We arrived at 0300 on Wednesday and finally departed to BKK at 6pm on Friday. The airport went into meltdown. No Emirates staff to be seen, no accommodation offered, no food and an 8.5 hour melee in the connections office...

Re: Hua Hin water shortage
Has anybody else noticed the different smell of water since Songkran? My daughter (doesn't live at my house) mentioned it a couple of days ago. She doesn't have a tank, and says the (she thinks its chlorine) smell is very strong. We have a massive tank, but the smell is gradually becoming more prom...

Re: Dubai airport (DXB) flooded
I used to work in the region and witnessed some fairly drastic storms, but these were normally in November or December so no doubt another link to the impact of global warming. Dubai government sent seven cloud seeding planes up on Monday and Tuesday, but they are denying that that could be even pa...

Re: Dubai airport (DXB) flooded
Thursday morning, and Emirates have announced that they have lifted the suspension on check-ins. A few flights took off yesterday before the suspension started. My daughter's friend was one, after a 7 hour delay. The knock-on effect will be huge for a while, and I'm sure Emirates will prioritize the...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Are you talking about Netflix's 3 Body Problem or the Chinese TV adaptation Three-Body ? I suppose that particular criticism is true of the latter also, even though it's far superior IMO. Comments I've seen here seem to generally refer to the Netflix show, but don't use the correct titles. :) Yes, ...

Re: Dubai airport (DXB) flooded
I'm in Dubai. Changed my flight back to Thailand from Tuesday until tomorrow (Thursday). But no check-ins were allowed today at all so tomorrow will be horrendous and can imagine my flight being delayed or even cancelled (less likely). I'm not prepared to stay in a hotel booked by Emirates overnight...

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Enjoying 3 Body though I feel its a little rushed, whereas the novels were more of an epic saga spanning centuries.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Have watched the first three episodes of Fallout and am loving it. Quite funny too. All episodes are available as of this week. I've watched the 1st two and well, struggling at times TBH. I'll stick with it for now, but there's (potentially) far better on my watchlist I think.. [EDIT] KIN (2021) ab...

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
I just watched the 1995 BBC film Cold Comfort Farm. What wonderful, old-fashioned, gentle, feelgood film. And a few stars in it too.

Re: The Recommended Movies Thread
Personally I'm very happy with Dune 2, any divergences from the book don't really affect the story greatly and it's very well filmed and told.
If anyone wants English (or other) subtitles they're already available on subdl.com.
