The BBC celebrating a girls team beating the boys. Ridiculous when the development of kids at this age far exceeds the difference in sexuality. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-68816466 It gives me the chance for a quick rant though. I was listening to a podcast from a sports phone in in th...

I moved out of Kumphawapi 6 years ago. We used to have a couple of m/c shops there and the monkeys were a constant menace toppling bikes over, being aggressive to customers etc. I, personally, suffered one bite which needed hospital treatment. A few months back, on a drive north from KK, I took a d...

March 31. There was a substantial swing to Biden almost across the board in March. In the swing states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, the swing has seen Biden take the lead in some polls and gain a lot of ground in others, these swing states are too close to call. Coded message? ...

Thanks for the comments. What gets me is that, when we moved in, we accepted that, for example, the 3 piece suite was ageing. A spring has now gone and she is suggesting that the bond will be used to replace the whole suite when we move out. Add to this some of the shower/toilet fittings are corrodi...

Just wondered what other people have experienced in this regard.... My present rental contract, in the usual way, makes me as tenant responsible for loss or damage to the property. In previous houses this hasnt extended to what I would call general wear and tear and dilapidation. The landlord made i...

Final (I hope!) update on this. I had my 2nd eye done on Feb 10 and went for my sign off last Saturday. All fine and long distance vision is great. I do need glasses for reading but was told this would be the case due to my severe astigmatism. Playing golf and jogging again now so, life is pretty mu...

The parachute payments last (I think) for 3 years so, it gives, in theory, 9 clubs a better chance of promotion. This season has been a bit of a fluke notwithstanding the parachute payments. I cant remember a season when the 3 promoted clubs performed so badly whilst the 3 relegated clubs were in th...

Nobody's talking football any more so, it gives me the opportunity for a quick gloat whilst it's going well. Leeds (luckily) beat Leicester last night to move closer to them at the top of the Championship table. The game was full of attacking football with an abundance of flair players from both tea...

I'm with STWW. I've done several successful Visa applications for entry to the UK for a previous wife. When I applied for my current partner several years back, it was initially declined with no reason and £300+ wasted (including the trip to BKK) plus, God knows how many hours spent. I was so p**** ...

I think we have more disgruntled and dissatisfied members than happy and satisfied ones when it comes to immigration's annual anal probe.

Or is it that more tend to not whinge about any and everything, analyse every political and social situation, bitch about burgers etc.

The doctors name is On Siri. I'm pretty sure that she just works Saturdays at Srinagarind. We went to the main hospital reception desk to make an appointment for the first consultation. The surgery is also carried out on a Saturday pretty much as soon as you want. She leaves a minimum of 2 weeks bef...

The AEK thread prompted me to update this one! Not strictly Udon as I'm a Khon Kaener but, I needed surgery and visited a couple of hospitals in KK after recommendations from friends. I also wanted my vision corrected so I could do away with glasses which I have worn since I was 7 years old. Ram hos...

Thanks for the heads up. Cant be bothered with the video so, just for info, where does Jim Bowen fit in?

I'll let one of the locals confirm re Udon. I think it's about 1200 including buggies at Royal Creeek and, just over 1000 at Victory but, to the south.... Ubonrat costs me 410 including caddy fee as a member. I believe that's a 150 discount so, would be 560 for a round. Not sure about buggies but, I...

To answer the title of the thread. Me.

Bud, Sol, Peroni, Asahi. Great beers unless you happen to be a beer snob

Despite the plaudits from the football luvvies, Morocco were very dull at the last World Cup. Their games in the knockout stages stunk the place out unless you enjoyed seeing France, Spain and Portugal pummelling a stout rearguard action with the latter 2 teams showing how toothless they actually w...

Not really grass roots but, Thailand look like bowing out of the the World Cup at the first hurdle. They got a pretty tough draw with China, South Korea and Singapore. A win in Singapore doesnt really compensate for a home loss to China because they'll get nothing from their games with Korea. Oz scr...

Never really rated Head before the final where he had a great knock. In spite of their loss, I'd still put a few of the Indians ahead of him.

Not sure how good this person is but, it seems Canada are leading the way in trannys again
