For the Wetherspoons crowd.

He was born in 1908 one of 9 children and life was different back then living in a small village in Cornwall. He never drank much, just the odd half pint of beer, but gave that up in his late 40’s along with smoking. Always ate healthy, home cooked food and always walked everywhere if he could. Different breed back then I suppose. Total opposite of how many people live today.

That's clear then ... 🙂

Covid bla bla bla........Anybody can see in minutes tourism will fall off a cliff almost to zero if this long long list of requirements must be met....They maybe dense but I am certain they are well aware of the outcome of their actions.....

You sucking a Werthers while watching them?.

Every Spoons tomorrow by 11:00 ....

Too cheap? Author of this article has clearly never visited Dublin. 🤣

Tonight at close on Soi Buakhao...18.00 hrs......

I think your table from Pacific Cross is intended for annual coverage and satisfies the NEW health requirements ( in reference to Covid-19 ) as well as satisfying the long stay visa requirements of those living in Thailand. The table I have shown ( which LMG is the insurer for ) is intended for folks arriving on a tourist visa and a relatively short stay. My wife is an insurance agent and has been for more than 15 years. She represents Pacific Cross as well as most of the larger insurance providers. She also sells the plan you have illustrated, but tells me Pacific Cross also have other plans which are cheaper than the illustration you posted. However in her opinion the the My Travel Cover plan is the most cost effective for anyone visiting as a tourist. I am by no means an expert on this, and if anyone wants any further details they can contact her directly on 0917642333 or by email on [email protected]. Her English is very good. Interestingly I asked her about IPD or OPD, and she has checked with the insurer who said the Government doesn't specify either, although Covid-19 would never be treated as OPD.

Have you tried taking a knee?

Hello Members. I've been in Thailand over 15 years. I've seen many things and tried most.

Been watching a 4 hour vid on youtube of carp fishing. It's a pay per month channel that released this free as a taster to get you to pay. Very well done but I refuse to pay as there is so much stuff out there for free right now.

Yes, our son was born in 2010, so he did get to spend quite a few years with his grandad, as we moved to a house a couple of miles from him when we moved back from Thailand. He also had a lot of great, great, grandchildren, mostly in Australia.

Put the saddle back on .... 😉

I find it ludicrous that UK don't have Thailand on the quarantine exempt list, bearing mind the number of new infections and deaths in Thailand, compared to say Spain (15 deaths today) and Italy, (17 deaths today). Also Dubai, or more correctly UAE, with no deaths reported today and only 317 in total. I have a couple of mates living in Dubai who were planning to come back on July 10th, but obviously won't now. While I'm a Tory through and through, the government's handling of the whole travel/quarantine issue throughout this entire lockdown has been worse than pathetic. It's an utter shambles and while I loathe that little ginger haired woman north of the border she was quite right today to call the UK government's handling of this issue shambolic. The Welsh first minister said exactly the same.

That's because like Lazarus they come back from the dead...when they smell the Guinness in the afternoon... Irish study says Irishmen are drinking too much and beer is too cheap https://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/ny-alcohol-ireland-beer-booze-above-national-average-20190828-nrelwci4yfhlzka5nlvoxzqewm-story.html

Breakfast at Nicky's, Soi Buakhou

Rawtenstall v Bacup 1949. Everton Weekes made 74 and the follow on video can be found whilst watching the one I've posted. Another Bacup player, Stanley Entwistle, was the caretaker at the junior school I attended back in the 70s. Woe betide you if he caught you on school premises playing football during the holidays. Cricket however was a different matter. He loved it. I didn't realise until years later what a great cricketer he had been. Love these old nostalgic film's.

A legend up here in East Lancashire. Especially Bacup where he was their professional playing in the Lancashire league. I'll dig out an old video when he played for Bacup v Rawtenstall. There must have been 8000 in the ground. I would have loved to have watched local cricket back then.

Your wish is my command. There is info on all the quarantine hotels on the PR Dept.'s Facebook page, but I'll post the details of the "quarantine packages" for those BMs who don't use Facebook. Evil EDIT IN- More to come after breakfast.

Some of ''Tree Town'' at 23.30 yesterday.........

You totally miss my point which is no surprise to me at all. When will you ever learn that the way that your style of responding to members who make a post that you disagree, or they have disagreed with you, is all too often just rude and invites confrontation. Grayray puts that down to the fact that English is not your first language. I do not believe that for a minute as your command of the English language is at least as good as most native English speakers on the forum. No, you just think you are always right and have this need to have the last word.

The Queen of Soul??...The greatest ever??? DAMN RIGHT she was...she blew the roof off and the walls out at the Kennedy Centre.

well no doubt you had a better view than i at the time, think i would have been taller and above waist height at the time

Probably as it wouldn't be reciprocal.

This Polish series based on the Harlen Coben book. One episode left and not a bad watch.

You reading The Times these days ???

Quick and easy today. Tinned chicken curry and microwave rice.

cannot kill those leprechauns...its a given

Welcome. Nice to see you here Terry.

Oh no, I'm traumatized, beans touching eggs. 😧😰

I can feel the sexual chemistry here

Didn't that happen to UKGay69 , playing tennis or something.. ?

Thank f**k for that, you had me worried. I know someone that was told by the doctor to exercise more and thats exactly what happened. He had a heart attack.

I don't need to know the answer, that is why I told you it was best dealt with by messaging him. Accusing him of disliking you is odd as I know him to be more tolerant than most but reality is it is unlikely to be that you don't bow enough but more likely you just don't adhere to the forum rules. I like you mate and respect you for being your own man but being a legend in your own trousers doesn't always suit the accord on the board. Stick to your reports from the jungle and your insight on everything from A to Z and you will have Tommy singing your praises rather than putting you on the naughty step.

While wearing a mask!

Absolutely disgusted with SKY News decision to abandon the Downing Street briefing by Gavin Williamson to go to some news conference in the USA announcing why the FBI have arrested Ghislaine Maxwell... Gavin Williamson is giving an update on how the government is trying to get millions of children back to school and what the government is doing to keep those children safe, something which I believe is important to me and nearly every parent in the UK. Who makes these bloody stupid decisions. Didn't want to do it but moved over to BBC which actually is showing the full briefing, kudos to them.

Jambo, stick to post things that make sense ? BTW, how many kids have you brought through the Thai education system ? Zero.... so dont speak about what you dont know.

Sometimes it is not what one says but how one says it that totally devalues the content. I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch oh, the bitch is back Stone cold sober as a matter of fact (?) I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you It's the way that I move, the things that I do oh…

That is not the subject. And your info is wrong. Don't confound Aceh and Indonesia.

Home made chicken noodle soup with a generous handful of grated cheddar cheese.. I have found that in life that there is very little that can not benefit from an extra helping of good cheese 😃😃

Spag bol.

Wifey bought her home in 2005 new, paid it off in 2012, after selling the other one she had out in Bang Phli by the airport. Good decision as this one is really nice. She did the kitchen, knocked out some walls and made it bigger and wider after 2 years long before I got there. It is nice for both her and I as my place is paid off too, not to have that monthly monkey on your back every month by renting. Neither her or I, would ever consider renting our places out to anyone while we are not there for sure. Ok yes Thailand is changing and all, always good to be able to live in America if we have to I guess. I cannot imagine having to shell out 20k per month to rent a house in Thailand Cliff. I will say one thing about Thailand from just a personal observation by living there, if you buy, you better make sure you like living there. Homes that in our neighbor hood that are as nice as wifeys, do not sell very fast. There are 3 homes there still up for sale in our neighborhood of 110 houses, that have been for sale when I moved there in Jan 2016. And......there is very little equity as prices reamin the same. You are not going to be able to make alot of money on your home there....even after years of living there. I think she told me once that 65% of Thai residents rent, as they just cannot afford to buy. That is not the case here in Calif.
