Thanks, briliant photo. He's looking very well at 77, great to see. Extra points for the product placement😉

It's the first Ludlom I've ever read. I think a degree of repetition is common to all prolific thriller writers. One of my favourites is Walter Mosely and he recycles character across different series but is good enough to get away with it. That is until his most recent novels that is🙂, he is 72 though.

Loaned this one from a local coffee shop. Can understand why it made a great movie, the book is shaping up to be better than the film.

Gal sounds like you've come up with a great idea. The vans going to be an asset that should retain it's value (maybe don't respray it in QPR livery though😛) As Krapow says it will give you a decent income and flexibility. Additionally if you want you'd be able to help the hospice or a charity shop you support by picking up donations. I've done a couple of mini house clearances before I left the UK where a local hospice and the RSPCA have had a volunteer come around with a van. The guys picking up the staff have always been a good laugh. You'll get to know the people in the shop and have a bit of banter with them I'd say you could pick your hours/days with Amazon and do a little volunteer work as a side line if that interested you.

Pattaya seems to push the Greater Fool Theory to new and even more ludicrous levels.

That's cruel!! You made a brave choice on captain, could never have seen it turning out that way.

Thought I could hear cheering from the Cherry Bar from where I am😭

Kun Som, I had heard the streets of London were going to be safe next month for ordinary decent God fearing people. Cost of UK bound flights surged but felt a trip home was in order. So sadly will miss seeing you in Hua Hin😜

An Irish Stout at 7% or more accurately a Thairish stout😛 very good, need to find out the brewer's name( edit, apparently brewed in Hua Hin on behalf of Mycraft)

Salmon, horseradish on wholemeal at 320 baht. Was lovely, as a Saturday morning treat, and a change from Thai. Expensive but great quality, and presentation

What roads are you referring to, and when did you visit? There's a problem in Rama II in both directions south of BKK on the road to/from BKK. That can turn your journey into a slow slog in peak times . This was the case as of Tuesday this week.

I live here but can't recommend anything unfortunately on the family front @AJSP that Phantom hasn't suggested above. I'm not sure that much has changed in Hua Hin on the tourist front. Probably the biggest change here and has been the shift in the nightlife away from Bintabaht but that's not a family activity😛

Somehow I thought Neto played for Wolves Just looked at the fixtures and noticed there's almost no games on St.Patrick's weekend, but thankfully the mighty Spurs are playing- concentrating on the league!!

Wow!! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68436828 Stunned at the thought Pogba could have been taking performace enhacing drugs!! Bit of a shame really was such a wonderful player in his first spell at Juventus.

Don't Panic😀 You seem to be doing OK in the bigger picture!! I got 20 points more than you this week, can't see it happening again this season. As a clear non-expert who thinks Wolves are a decent team, I'd pick your biggest problem as a Wolves concentration risk having 3 of their players. But then again you've most likely realised several things I haven't😛

Did you smile sweetly and ask for an extra fajita? 😉

Here, here!!! Just seen the news, terribly sad.

No idea 🙂. You did get to overhear some classic conversations from the guys who'd sit out front of Canterbury Tales. Seemed a popular gathering point for local expats putting the world to rights!

Don't miss Crazy Dave's . English breakfast and Only fools and horses, one repeats and the other on a constant loop- hell. Loved Canterbury Tales

Amazing character actor. Clockwork orange, Yes Minister and Blake's Seven. Then Blackadder, Gandi and the Bill. Wow

I'd love to try that, haven't had any French real ales. Their website describes it as "Mont-Blanc’s La Rousse, an iron fist in a velvet glove" 😀

That sounds like a great plan. I'm struggling a little with my Thai, but must say the most enjoyable part are the lessons. Met some great people, picked up learning tips/resources off them and feel more motivated. With your strategy you will be more than capable of comfortably doing a beginners course- you'll probably be one of the better students in there. Good luck- 5th times a charm😁

Very wise words about one to one tution in person. Discovered today in an attempt at an online class that the camera on my laptop no longer works 😭. Was so frazzled by it, forgot I also have a relatively new but basic tablet that works just fine!!!

Set of miserable B******ds on here, don't let them get you down😀

Better today in Hua Hin but start of the week was horrible.
