Cheers Butch. I feel like a right cnut at the moment and I'm well aware that I'll be subject to the Thai jungle drums banging. I really don't care about it tbh... As long as my wife understands and my mate feels the same way. He's not angry with me really as I'm sure he's still being in denial. He's a lovely chap but too naive. It's difficult enough to make good friends in Sweden, especially as me and him are the same age, like the same music etc, we have a lot in common. I don't really know what I will do if he resents what I've told him but the next few months will let me know the answer to that. Feck me! Thai women are hard work sometimes. They never think about the consequences of their actions and who it could affect regarding friends. And who is left hurting? You could drop an average looking Thai woman into a barrel of shit and she would still come up smelling of Roses. From what I've seen back in the UK and here in Sweden... Some of these girls are very very lucky and do not deserve what they have now.

Im not saying his current relationship is doomed by the separation but it doesn't look good. They have built a new house up near Chaing Rai. He put some in but not much. And to be honest, after talking to him, I don't think Thailand is the place he will go next as its looking like he's married 2 Thais and both have/will fail.... So he's probably thinking of plan B. The Philippines and I don't blame him. Just hope he doesn't get married again. ( difficult in PH with an older separated lady).

Well, what's happened has happened. Not proud of telling the truth for the first time in my life. But I was asked questions by my best mate here in Sweden and I always said to myself and my TW if I was asked directly what I thought was going on, I would tell him the truth through what I've seen. So 10 days later they are separating and I feel I'm responsible for that. A trial separation but in truth I know where that situation is heading. I don't know what's wrong with my Swedish mate, the evidence is in front of him and he still can't get into his head that his wife has cheated on him! And still is by all accounts. He thinks after a trial separation things will get back to normal. Me, I think different and she will continue her ways to feather her nest with whoever suits her. I guess at the end of the day you can give advice or not. Wether it's followed is a different story. Feel really sorry for my mate but he really needs to stop being nieve and get a grip on reality.

Fentanyl mixed with this tranq stuff gives the users horrible skin conditions where the skin just ulcerated and drops off. If that isn't enough to make users think twice I don't what is. It's like Romero's movie " dawn of the dead". It's unreal.... And like I said previously, it's on it way to Europe. What a complete and utter mess.

I don't know if yourself or other BMs have seen any YouTube videos of the Fentanyl and Tranq situation in the US and Canada. I've seen dozens of them, mainly on Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia and they are quite shocking if not sickening. I really do admire the many folks that are out there to help and support these addicts but for me it just seems to be a a lost cause. My worry is that this situation is on its way to Europe if it's not already happening. And quite frankly, having suffered living with a heroine addict and all the horrible shite that goes with it, I'm losing sympathy with these people. Don't know what the answer is but these situations will definitely get worse. Especially for the families involved. Apart from those that can get help and stick with it to get better then let the rest get on with it. They all have a sob story that the rest of us have encountered. They made a bad decision that's it.

Lol! I've heard of King Edward and Royal Jersey potatoes but didn't know Durex had a potato business. They do look like condoms though and I hope they tasted better.

Hello G. Hard for me to read that post mate and I guess the same for most BMs here. All I can say, considering your past ways is that you did yourself and your sister Jan proud. Now what would she think about what you posted? No doubt she would be very angry and upset and would want you to prove the family trend wrong. I apologise for putting it that way mate but I've been through exactly the same as you. You will be OK. I haven't and never will forget my father, mother and younger brother (46) and I'm a weak bastard and I managed to carry on. Come on mate, hard times ahead but you can get through it. Sincerely.

Brilliant mate..... First class.

Aye! My bad..... Just realised. Apologies to my H2H opponent. Jammy git!

I don't follow.... My head 2 head v you wantssome.... 63 points each after bonus points added... Where has his extra 2 points come from to take him to 65? Im becoming a bad loser these days!

Listening to Pink Floyd. And enjoying a beer or 3.

It's a bit buggered ain't it!

One for @Bobbyg. I knew of him but never met him. Maybe you did mate. Rovers biggest fan passed away aged 74. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/november/07/a-tribute-to-our-beloved-birdy/

How can romero continue to lose points after being sent off....????

Is it 4 or5 goals disallowed now..... And Romero is on - 3 allowing chip charley to overtake me in the H2feckinH

Maddison off injured ffs!

Romero sent off for spurs so hanging on by the skin of my tooth in the H2H. Never straightforward is it?

Padding out with boiled rice doesn't work for me.. Not like a pint of milk would but getting a pint of milk ain't easy. Still. I'm happy to go through the pain again next trip. On a side note, comparing thai food with Indian food is interesting. I'm a big vindaloo fan, never tried a phal curry but for heat, Thai taking the piss with farang wins hands down for pain lol!

You and JohnLuke like sheep to much. Dirty Leeds brigade on the up again in league 2. Norwich away for my boys on Sunday lunch time. So that's how many miles for our long suffering support so far? Plymouth away, Ipswich away, QPR away and 3000 rovers at Chelsea midweek.... And now a long boring journey to east anglia for a midday ko v the canaries.... f**k off Sky TV.

You are absolutely bang on there. I've eaten some seriously hot and spicy stuff in Thailand and enjoyed it. 2 meals spring to my mind where I'm sure I've been tested by the Thais. First was my mum in laws red curry... Fucking napalm on a plate and I was leaking fluid from my eyes, nose, ears and arse. Secondly, just last week, a Krapow moo which I ordered pet pet.... Almost finished it but by christ that was hot. Sure I was tested there also.

Less than a hour back in Sweden from an eventful 3 week trip to BKK. First call, my tenants in England telling me the electrics are dangerous and needs a new fuse box at least. Second... The lad who's looked after my cats whilst away as tried to feed them the wrong food so a quick trip next door to the supermarket for the correct stuff. Thirdly, my late mates wife calling me asking for money yet again as she's skint... Yet again. Long and sad story really but I cannot lend her anymore as I know it's being used to enable her junkie younger son. I could write a new topic alone on that one. Now... Having a couple of early beers before a well deserved nap. Ps... SAS have started direct from BKK to Copenhagen again for the first time in 9 years. We were on only the second departure from Swampy. Lovely new A350 but you get f**k all for your money in economy ( not that you get much anyways). No choice of food plus only one soft drink with supper. Alcohol had to be paid for and at £5 for a small can of Carlsberg they can do one! They did however walk around the cabin offering water between supper and breakfast. Wow!

The blue Tit is f**k all like the Great Tit..... I wish you got your balls mixed up on the pool table if that was the case. Hope you are keeping well, barring the crayfish.

The only farang brief armed with a plastic fork..... Can't see that ending well Roo. Hope you are OK mate.

Your identification of the Chaffinch and Great Tit is correct.

I dropped Pinnock ffs.
