Very sad to see this. One of my favourites once I watched 101 best tries.
He was a powerful and illusive runner and scorer of some very good tries. A sad day

Had a mate from school who went into the Navy simply known as Jonathan Hunt, following basic training and a few trips on HMS Cardiff he came back as Iasac Hunt.
he was then known as Isaac
Those military lads do love a nickname

Finished leftover roast lamb from yesterday now at sons swimming club. I find Monday a real tough one and I’m normally knackered by 8.30 and ready for me bed

Hi Adam,I was wondering why I had never come across the jellyfish problem on our visits to Hua hin. It seems they only come nearer to the shore during the rainy season, Jun-Oct. Our visits have always been April/May or November.
Aye that’s the issue as our main holiday was always July / August but as Stillearly says it’s the signs which are off putting and also speaking to locals who say it’s a bit more extensive
still live the place though it’s a cracking place.
Hoping your on the mend now ! -

I rarely go in the sea, mainly as Kataleya (same as me) really loves using a pool and admits the sea is not for her. Beach yes, sea no!
Love sitting on the beach at Cha Am and ordering cooked live prawns for about 280 baht a kilo. I will also sit on the beach at Soi 77, south of the Hilton, and have a few large beers with friends. A small, independent local Thai sells food and drink at incredibly cheap prices, stay on the beach under an umbrella with the sea only as a view.
I agree though, if you are looking mainly for a beach resort with safe seas, then what's in the sea may be an important factor.
We stayed in The Hilton here a few years ago and then put a net out in the sea to immediately ‘enclose’ a section of the sea to afford some protection from the jellies. Not sure this is 100% effective but I used the area.
nice to hear some tips for the food !👍

Did you "sit outside"?
Of course, but only briefly ! After 3 pints inside I waited outside for my Uber to take me to the next pub. It was a 4 pub mini tour.

It's never going to compare to Pattaya, but those who live in Hua Hin are mostly looking for something beyond the bars.
That said, there is quite a busy nightlife area around Sois 88-94 and I spent a very pleasant time there back in August. It is growing but is mixed around restaurants and bars that have bands playing which has more of a family feel without the go gos. For me the only place I would live long term again in Thailand is Hua Hin. Easy access to Bangkok or the south. I love it there and intend on going back to live there at some point.
I’m a fan of Hua Hin but one thing which really puts me off is the Jellyfish. It may sound trivial but I like spending time in the sea so fir this reason it knocks it off the list ……unless we lived in a pool villa ??

The classic one from Bob Mortimer was ‘Snipers Dream’ on account of one of his mates who had a large head !

Weren’t 400cc bikes normally grey imports into the uk - I realise 99% of all bikes are imports into the uk but had in my head during the 90’s that the vast majority of quick ‘small super bikes’ were of the 400cc variety- could be wrong

Fay Weldon: The Life and Loves of a She-Devil author dies aged 91
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64160732
Omg so sad. Spent a bit of time in education with her son Tom who sadly died aged 47 a few years ago. She bought him a house in Glastonbury aged 19/20 next to the ‘famous’ Rifleman’s Arms where we enjoyed some good party times as late teens did.
RIP - Mrs Weldon

Does anyone have an opinion on the best places for Vietnamese Pho, Chinese dim sum or Japanese sushi and sashimi in town? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
I’ve got mates who use Facebook and they would use Breakfast Club Pattaya for questions like these so if you have FB perhaps pose the question these also. Good luck

Got no time for billionaire's, what the f**k does having billions in the bank achieve?.
It's like their obsessed with zeros.
Fucking use the money to help the poor people of the world, It would give them something to be proud of.
I give to causes all the time and I'm just an average bloke in the street.
Some do give very generously, but some could do more.
Here here. This time of year I always think of George Michael who I read was a very good giver and not in the biblical sense 😎

I think if I was in town I’d defiantly pop in and feedback my review plus the topless element appeals. Same with GoGo’s as it’s somewhere I’d pop in for occasionally but I’d it was a new bar and one I knew the owner I would drop by for a gander.
it’s just a shame that I cannot at present 😠

This should probably be in the obituaries section but this man did so much to enhance the careers of cricketers I think it is only fitting to be here....
Saw this on Ian Bothams Twitter so read more about him and wow what a man and what he did for cricket. Very sad to lose someone so inspirational like this
