Aqualung

My sciatica has returned for the first time since 2008. This time in my right buttock and right leg. Absolute agony and getting out of bed is a nightmare. 

First appointment available here in Sweden.... 3rd of May. Fucking useless. 

I've taken ibuprofen to no avail so I would like to be prescribed Co-Codomol as I was in 2008.worked wonders for me. Here in Sweden they will probably prescribe nicotine patches or some other useless medication.

Sorry mate I can't resist. A masterclass of shithousery by us. First team to win at Elland Road this season. And a brilliant footballing goal to boot.

Not happy with the Albion blowing a 2 goal lead. Norwich closing in and Coventry could too if they win their game in hand. Still confident of a top 6 finish but don't fancy us against Leeds or Saints how things stand.

The Saints weren't that special at Ewood today. I think they've resigned themselves to the play off's tbh. 

So I reckon Albion have a good chance of at least a point. 

Provided they a bit better than they did against Stoke.

Yep. Those claws are nasty I'd reckon. It would probably rip your neck to shreds quickly. And you are right. Cats are sneaky cnuts. If you don't hear or see it coming you are most likely toast. Scary way to check out, certainly would shit my pants.

But... got to fight if attacked.

 

I love the big cats. Especially Tigers. Beautiful animals. 

I was up in the lake district one time visiting a wildlife park near Ulverston and if anyone was in doubt about the strength and power of tigers it was soon put to bed when feeding time came around. 

3 telegraph poles planted into the pen. More than 20 feet tall. At the top of each pole a chicken /some sort of meat was placed there. 

Out come the big boys or girls and jesus christ!!!. Never seen anything like it...... Just 2 strides to get up there, get the food, turn around and then jump down from about 15 feet. No problem whatsoever. Amazingly powerful animals. 

I have 3 cats as pets and I'm sure if they were bigger than me I would be toast!

Nice to see you posting Aqua. I never had the patience for cracking crab legs.

 

 

I let the wife crack them. Like your good self, I also lack the patience! 

King crab. My first time eating crab and I have to say it was delicious. Bloody should be at around £50 per kilo! 

Russians and Albanians. 

Only having been to Pattaya 5 times I don't suffer "Pattaya Blues". 

However, leaving Thailand and having to wait at the departure gate at Swampy depresses me big time. Looking at fellow farang there leaves me thinking I'm far from being alone.

A favourite of mine, chicken fajitas in the Sportsman. 

Is that the sportsman in Pattaya Stuart? 

Do they still do the Sunday carvery and is it worth the money?

If you enjoyed Lock stock and Two Smoking 

I'm enjoying this 

 

Some great actors in that. I'm watching the series at the moment and the main actress is great but I'm finding it difficult to believe in her character. 

Vinny Jones plays a good part though.

I do. I lived in Ramsbottom and went past Hollands everyday going to and from school. BRGS.

I contacted Hollands about twenty years ago asking if they imported anything to Australia. (loved their steak & kidney puds and the cheese and onion pies) The exec I corresponded with told me he had been in Byron Bay (about 70klms from me now) a few months before on holiday.

Small world mate. 

I lived a stones throw away from BRGS, firstly Newchurch then in 77 we moved up to Cowpe village in Waterfoot. 

Played cricket at Ramsbottom in my teens representing Rawtenstall CC. 

As for Hollands pies, they aren't as good as they used to be I'm afraid. 

Best regards. 

Same as @richy65 £23.50 per week on a YTS scheme in a local footwear factory. I can't remember how much my mother wanted for board money but it wasn't much.

33p for a pint in my local about that time!

5 pound. Working at Turnbull and Stockdale in Stubbins. Just down the road from the Hollands Pie factory.

So you must know Rossendale well then. Holland pies are still up in Baxenden. 

I'd rather watch my wife preparing somtan. 

Just lining their own pockets at the numbskulls expense. 

Are you looking to make money Gal or is volunteering an option.? 

I think @galenkiawill be upset.

Stan Bowles has died aged 75. 

RIP great player.

Its not on TV mate to my knowledge. I don't use streaming services only Sky Sports/UK TV/Truevisions. Having said that i don't watch evening matches from the UK as the late KO times here in Thailand are way past my bedtime.

Just for your info pump. Southampton will have their own TV station via the clubs website it's probably a subscription service but you will be able to view weekend games if you wanted. 

I currently pay £25 per month to Rovers TV but you can also buy a match day pass for £10.

Good win for us today. First half especially and good luck to Eustace. 

Just need to get rid of our CEO and the Rao family now. Big protest planned for the FA Cup game v Newcastle United. How anyone is brave enough to work under this corrupt regime deserves a medal. 

Just viewed steady Eddy's live stream from Udon.

He actually said he was repetitive (2 times!) 

Then went onto say the city centre was bland. 6 feckin times.

I'd agree on Ed Sweeney(or Steady Eddie as he's now rebranded)  being one of the better vloggers.  Though like many he's suffered from running out of things to vlog or livestreaming that's never interested me

Saw him once in Retox Game on ordering his breakfast. The girl who was serving was new the job I'd say. Nice the way he stayed patient and polite as the order dragged on.

He comes across as very honest, particulary about his boozing.

 

Im a subscriber..... And his travel videos are quite good and usually give me a chuckle or 2. However, he does repeat himself, not just once or twice but annoyingly many times. 

Another gripe, and I'm probably being harsh, he doesn't seem interested in learning the most basic of the Thai language. Telling Thais that he's doing a review of a bar/ restaurant in English and in a scouse accent makes me chuckle. 

That said, he's planning on settling in Cambodia. 

His live streams bore me to death though. Good enough chap but not a patch on Geoff Carter.
