    RIP Polish President died in a plane crash today

    I was extremely worried that you might possibly have been on that plane Maria. I'm very sorry for your country and her people.

    Hello Thomas!!

    A few hours ago my eldest daughter made me a grandfather for the second time.....a boy.....Thomas. Today is my wife's birthday as well!! :D Last night I was talking to Jessica and she told me the baby was going to be late (according to her midwife). I told her that I dreamt a couple of days...

    What did you learn from your very last dive...

    I learnt that P&S cameras can have a surprisingly good video function.

    How to use a safety sausage (SMB)?

    I normally use a SS/SMB to mark my position from underwater so that boats can see where I am...... either to come get me, or maybe to avoid running me over with a propeller as I'm surfacing. :D Great plan! Anyone learning to use an SS/SMB is thinking the right way! ;)

    Japanese Internet vs. North American Internet

    LOL..... Bill......in those days a large hard drive was only 40 Mb!!! :rofl3: But it's true.....Asian access (not just Japan) is very quick...not just compared to the US, but to Europe as well. I can reach 1.5Mb/sec....and I'm not that close to the main repeater......maybe 700 meters.

    Help me PPD - liveaboards for New Year

    Whatever.... my UK flight was a little more than the headline price, but that was down to the number of stay days etc, and it wasn't that much. They were WAY cheaper than anyone else, AND it's a direct Osaka-London flight. Last year we paid more to go via HK. Surcharges aren't down to them -...

    Help me PPD - liveaboards for New Year

    Have a look at this page: No1 Travel-Air Fare/Manila - Super Saver most expensive flight....84,000 yen, a couple of days before New Year! I don't know what dates you need, but that's half of what you are talking about..... Maybe the fuel surcharge is a lot.....but double? It's up to you, but...

    Help me PPD - liveaboards for New Year

    Not H.I.S. - the number I gave you. No1 Travel. ;) I don't know exactly how they're connected (I saw the H.I.S. name somewhere when I paid), but they gave a price to London about 40,000 yen cheaper than my wife was told directly from H.I.S. It's a phone call......that's all.

    So is this what it's all about????

    OK.......so who's perfect? :shocked2: I meant any OTHER carbs! :D (although one needs SOME restraint)

    Help me PPD - liveaboards for New Year

    Geoff....... try the H.I.S. gaijin affiliate... No 1. Travel. Here's the contact stuff from the lady I dealt with to book to the UK at Christmas.......they were the cheapest by FAR. [/COLOR] If they can't do it...you've got a problem. [/COLOR]

    So is this what it's all about????

    LOL..... I forget to mention one important aspect. You have to be able to resist these Aussie buggers trying to make you drink coffee through a Tim Tam. That will destroy all further effort at weight loss I'm sure. So far......I'm happy to say I blocked my ears and was resolute - I'm still at...

    So is this what it's all about????

    I've done it. There's no secret. Small protein rich meals......minimum carbs. Drink a lot of water. Walk about 8 kilometers a day with the dog, and swim 3000 meters 4 times a week. This last week I've been slipping though (no swimming) so I'm sort of standing still. I'd like to lose another 15...

    Help Brad talk Thai... Koh Lanta or Khao Lak???

    Khao Lak was really devastated by the tsunami. I haven't heard how well it has recovered by now. I'm sure some of our local members would know about that. One plus point (for me) would be it's proximity to the main Similan islands. I'm not sure how much that might be pertinent to a DM course -...

    So is this what it's all about????

    Hee hee hee!! :D I had three.... :shocked2: Not bad. As I thought though - an Aussie Penguin. Is there an Aussie equivalent to Mars bars too? Or my personal favourite....Cadbury's Flake?

    So is this what it's all about????

    Looks like British Penguins to me...... Although I didn't taste one yet.......the wife just brought them home from Costco! (and I'm supposed to be on a diet......12 Kgs in 8 weeks....yeah baby!!)

    Rant: Why do so many locals insist on backing into parking spots?

    What a funny thread! :D I normally reverse into a parking spot - but I'm embarrassed if I don't nail it first time. I've driven in Honolulu. It's frustrating. I can understand the OPs annoyance with folks who create even more holdups than are strictly necessary. However, I don't think it's...

    Diving within one flight from Singapore?

    OMG...shoot me.... I meant the Andaman Sea, not the Islands. ;) But anyway...... the Similans are great diving.

    Diving within one flight from Singapore?

    Tioman is in it's off season then - I thought the whole east coast was. The Andamans are in main season though (Phuket). Lot's of choice up there. (edit: I see someone already mentioned the season thing)
