We walked into the Thai festival and immediately lost Andy. Thought he had found the local soi 6 facility but stupid me, he had found the beer tent.

Having a good time with Gazza, Adam, Andy and families.

Fun for a few hours.

Singha beer £10 for 4 cans, Thai food dishes around £5.

All having a great time

I you lose him again look for the gin tent.

Can't remember the name but some good forsaken place in Uzbekistan, was like stepping back 50 years in time.

What a treat after 28 day and fly out in style mate.

It certainly was and it always makes me think "From flying in a helicopter to flying in first class, they said I was making a big mistake leaving my job in the UK"

Emirates for me, been flying with them now for eight years.

Very fortunate in that my company buy me business class flights. Dubai/Bangkok/Dubai is always the A380

Nice little upgrade to first class on my last flight from Dubai.

We'll be flying in opposite directions mate. I fly to Thailand via the ME early on the 13th.

Unlucky.

That's a shame, hopefully next time.

Going to get up early and pop into town to pick up my Amazon purchases.

Plus last bits of shopping for my trip next week. Think some beer and a bottle of nice red is going into my bag for friends I'm hoping to meet up with in Bangkok.

What dates you in Bangkok, I leave early on the 13th

I did and the phone was ringing, but I could not hear it. It was at that point I decided to look in the car, which was probably the last place I had it. But then I was thinking that I had left it in the pub.  I need a lie down to get over the trauma 😄

Amazing how you always find something in the last place you left it.

Two minutes later I was running about like an idiot trying to catch it, much to the amusement of the locals.

So four games into the premier league in England and Liverpool are top of the table. Chelsea up there with them also on maximum points which to be honest surprises me after they took so long to sort out who was the manager.

An early season Jose meltdown was a thing of joy and West Ham aren't doing very well.

Oh too soon it all stops for bloody international friendlies I hear you cry. Well actually you are wrong there as it is the UEFA Nations League.

Now if you have not been keeping up with this I thought I take the time to explain the format...

Countries are split into groups across four leagues. The four winners of the top-ranked League A will qualify for the Nations League Finals in June 2019. Those who do not make it will face promotion and relegation, while a potential route into Euro 2020 will also be up for grabs. While group winners of League A will compete in the Nations League Finals ? which will feature semi-finals, a third-place match and the final hosted by one of the sides involved ? the victors in Leagues B, C and D gain promotion and the bottom sides from Leagues A, B and C will be relegated. The second season will take place in 2020-21. Teams that fail to top their group and do not get a semi final can enter a talent contest where they nominate one player to impress a panel of judges with a dance, performing a musical instrument or comedy act. If they score more than 6.8 from the judges then they go into a penalty shootout against the winners of the Charity Aid match featuring no less that three members of the Hollyoaks cast. The runner up will qualify for the Carabao cup quarterfinal while the wining team will face off against the national that came top of league D unless they are from Russia in which case they will not play Ukraine in a fifth gold run of Blockbusters. And that is Numberwang.

 

So still no chance of Scotland qualifying. 

Hi guys.

Good to see a lot of old but familiar names here.
