  1. Possibly as a result of this cold weather reducing my natural resistance I have been struck down by a delibitating bout of Manflu. Manflu (aka by females as penwat or the common cold) is characterised in men by a deep feeling of being sorry for ourselves and the need for understanding and continuous sympathy from the rest of the world and particularly our wives and partners. Sneezing like mad and got through a box of tissues driving back on Thursday. Immediately phoned Sai , still up in Mae Sot, that evening to tell her how bad I was feeling only for her to remind me to put the dogs coats on them as it was getting cold at night. Tried another attempt to gain the sympathy vote only to be told that Sai hopes I will not have given it to her. Friday got through no less than 4 boxes of tissues and in between sent messages to the UK and phoned a few friends to let them know how bad I was feeling. Both Daughter and Grandaughter in Scotland have colds so not much sympathy there. Went to the pharmacy and paid 30 baht for some medication called Nasolin which states it gives symptomatic relief to all the symptons of Manflu. Just kept sending me off to sleep so I recommend it for flights to/from the UK. Also went to the "Western Produce" shop in Bangsaray and bought 6 Cadbury's cream eggs as they were on 2 for 1 special offer. Pigging out of them was a comfort in my hour of need. Not much better Sunday and had to get further supplies of tissues. Watched a great deal of TV and continued to fall asleep from the effects of the medication. Feeling much better today and heroically think I might well pull through after all. flushed the note I left for Sai giving the User Name and password for an online bank account of mine down the toilet. 😀

  6. Ron Saunders basically built the Aston Villa European Cup winning team but resigned from the Villa when they were at the quarter final stage. Tony (forger his surname) went on to win the European Cup. Saunders was a Midland football legend. He managed Villa, Birmingham City and West Brom.

  7. Several years back a thief got into my house. Fortunately all that went missing was a crappy, old laptop and a very nice backpack that was worth more than the laptop. The material loss was small, but what was worse was the sense of violation of my house. I can joke about the circumstances that allowed the thief to gain entry, but the theft itself was, and is no joking matter.

  10. Info. like this is always a good "wake up call" reminder. How devastating and deadly fires can be. We tend to forget or get lax with thoughts regarding fire safety and prevention. But they are god awful. There is no smell worse than a fire scene.. Hiorrible

  12. My mate from Middlesbrough brought us some fresh Yorkies (next to bacon and Irish saucages) so decided on a little Sunday dinner. Didnt have roast beef or spuds so steaks and chips had to do. Tasted great all the same.

  15. BMW's top end adventure bike the GS1250.That's this years updated model and about £18,000 before you start adding accessories like luggage etc. Big seller as adventure bikes are well popular these days. Blame Ewan Mcgregor and Charlie Boorman 😀

  20. Right.. 10 rounds done. AJ sticking to his boxing and sticking and moving pretty much all fight. Ruiz following him without cutting off the ring. Every time they're engaging he gives AJ problems. In my opinion, Joshua proved nothing other than he was in a shit shape last fight. He's no match for Fury and/or Wilder.

  21. My sister has just bought her husband a new Range Rover Vogue, V8 diesel with every extra added, Bose stereo, full white leather and 2 video screens in the back seats etc. He drove it twice and it’s now been back in the dealership for over month with starter faults. Well north of £100K for a car that doesn’t work. At least they were given a replacement RR to run around in.

  24. You lucky, jammy bugger. I’ve sent her the princely sum of £19.50p over the years! Only ever got one picture of her in a deep sea diving suit, at least she said it was her, difficult to tell, looking through the glass visor. 🤗

  25. Listen here Mr. Don, I just want to make it perfectly clear, that I have "exclusive" rights to the BMW Moto girl. I am sending her 1k baht per month sponsorship money and she told me I am a " velly nice" guy. As you can clearly see, I am the only guy that she allows to have a picture taken with her......I am sure by me sending her 1k baht per month, she is honest when telling me she allows no one to take a picture with her except me. The Thai girls that work these shows, do not tell lies, they are not like the bar girls! You better also stay away from the "Isuzu" girl....I am warning you LOL! The BMW girl is cool....she is a student counselor at one of the local colleges and the Isuzu girl told me she works for her brothers Import/Export business and he lets her take time off to do these shows every year.

  29. I had a Triumph Spitfire I used to literally keep a bag of cement in the wee boot because the back end was so light. I still once went backwards into the bus garage at the top of Muswell Hill in the wet. A zillion years ago I worked with a guy that bought his young son every single Dinky toy that came out. Except he always bought two and stored one set in his loft. I remember him telling me that they would be worth a lot of money one day. So many were produced I doubt he made a "lot" but maybe a complete boxed collection would have been very attractive to a collector.

  31. That explains all the sirens I heard in the wee hours of the morning. And this is about 1.5km from the Holiday Inn. Also looks like the cladding on the side of the building is what went up in flames. If true, when will builders and building inspectors learn the dangers of non-fire resistant building materials.

  34. Gutted Amazing cricketer, but what a man. As a commentator said everything that Neville and Carragher, had neither the courage nor the integrity to do so. Hard as the message was to give , never afraid to call out an ex-player.
