Btw Have you ever gone 2 weeks without peas in your life before, you might well find yourself clucking like a turkey at dawn on your balcony.
Good luck, mendip! Safe travels.
^yup, you're only allowed less than 100 ml of each fluid in the carry on. Unless it was bought at Duty free, I guess?
I remember a news article wherein the lady drank a whole bottle of Johnny Walker in front of the x-ray machine official because she wasn't allowed to take the bottle with her!
Mendip have a great trip.
Great thread.
A few photos please:

^^ Nope! I'm still here.
Zero days to go... and no more sleeps!
In fact my next sleep will hopefully be in a wine induced drunken stupour somewhere over Eastern Europe!
I have a few emails to send, a lot of browsing history to delete and a few goodbyes to make.
And then I'm outta here!
My dilemma over the booze was whether to buy here and stash in my hold luggage before departure, or risk buying duty free and having it taken off me before quarantine. I've read that people's carry-on has been searched and booze confiscated before confinement... but not hold baggage.
But anyway, with OhOh's reassurance, and my fancy hiso ASQ I'm hoping to keep hold of the duty free bottle of whisky I'll be buying at Schiphol. If the chance offers itself I'll sneakily transfer it to my hold luggage when I pick up my bag at Suvarnabhumi. I have no idea how closely things will be monitored... if at all?
And don't worry OhOh... plenty of pics to come. I have 14 days of confinement coming up and 24 hours a day to fill.
Sorry to say, but this thread has only just begun!
I look forward to the upcoming journey photos and "The Never Ending Adventures Of TD's Pea Connoisseur".
Thanks!
And here's an ASQ competition.
My flight is scheduled to land at 15:10 at BKK. My ASQ is on Rama 9, Suan Luang.
A free green for the closest guess at what time I walk through my ASQ room door.
This thing about peas yet again comes up.
Can I just put this myth to bed, once and for all.
My all time favourite vegetable is English runner beans. My Dad used to keep an allotment and during the summer we would have heaps of beans for every meal. This was back in the day when you ate seasonal veg, before the Spanish and North African bean imports flooded the supermarkets during the winter.
The problem with beans is, they don't freeze so well as peas. So on my travels, as an alternative to beans I sometimes have peas. I think that peas are one of the few veg that actually taste better frozen than fresh.
The frozen beans in Makro aren't very good, so I always buy Talley's peas. And yeah, I do eat the Thai long beans, but they just aren't as good as the English runner beans... imho...
And yes, I have also tried many times to grow English bean varieties from seeds I've brought over to Korat. Either the sparrows eat all the flowers, or these b@stard little orange beetles nail the roots.
So, I sometimes eat peas.
