It does intrigue me what is being carried in these huge vessels. Some of them carry rice, usually the covered ones, and some of them carry building sand from mines near the river. 30 years ago, I was involved with a Thai bloke that had a mining lease near Ayutthaya. I paid for a basic dredge to ext...

Not a nice way to go, if there is one. But if the report is correct, then exactly what did they expect may happen! I too have seen this type of behaviour time and time again from motorbikers. The last lot that I encountered were a group from Malaysia doing the same thing.

That would be my concern! Front up at arrivals and get told: "but you are already here"! "Lockup for you"!

This guy had an angel sitting on his shoulder! :shock: https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c900npw99j2o (Video) Yes, watched it yesterday.

I miss the old jumbos, where you could have a really good walk around the plane, and you would always find a couple of like minded souls standing by the service areas, having a beer, outside of feeding times, of course. Oh yes, many a party attended, even won a heart on one memorable occasion! And ...

I suppose that is a reflection on my pilot training, but my seat belt remains loosely fastened while I am seated. I even have qualms about a short visit to the toilet!
