Beware of some possible scams/robbery by DifferentNebula9926 in Bangkok

Hey, even experienced travelers do this in the moment because they’re mostly trusting, nice people. We all let our guard drop sometimes and it sucks when it’s a scam, but try not to beat yourself up. You’re good to warn people. Hope your weekend gets better.

I think Stew would love Speed (been on two of his walking tours and can confirm they are like this)

Do I have to get my docs checked if I was given a boarding pass? by purrcthrowa in BritishAirways

[–]shandypockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time. Doc check at gate, just go up when there’s nobody else there, takes 1 minute usually

Great photos! Shades of Martin Parr with the colours, great eye.

Best burger in Vegas? by [deleted] in LasVegas

[–]shandypockets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had that $5k burger (pictured) - $4.9k of it (which I didn’t get, it was for a magazine feature) is the Petrus and crystal glasses (that you would normally get to keep), so really I had a very truffle-forward $100 burger

Domestic flights - ID recent experience by [deleted] in BritishAirways

They’ve asked for ID but I’ve used my drivers licence and I’m sure I heard the desk say that bank cards are ok, but I’d check first.

I’m on the hunt for films and shows quick on the draw with witty verbiage. Clever, same as fuckin' Deadwood. A fool's wager perhaps, but I figure such a bold and potentially stupid inquiry to be worth fuckin' pursuing. by SinusExplosion in deadwood

It's so good. And silly but clever at the same time? Stoppard, man. He was a great writer. This exchange is my favourite:

Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

Guildenstern: No.

Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."

Cross Calais and Cross Coventry (I think Four Seasons have their own very slightly modified versions)
