Yes, as much as it is sad that a legendary seating area is no more, I last sat on those seats during 1989 -1991. I used the bars inside but never sat at those bars again. Can't say why, but it just wasn't where I needed to be with friends or alone.

I saw a small band called Queen support Mott The Hoople in 1973, does that count lol

I hate to view these stories on TV or the news, it just upsets me that there are people out there who would hurt children. The thing that struck me most was the verdict, how the hell can you give someone only 6 years for killing their baby. It's ridiculous, she subjected that child to about an hour of horrendous torture and only gets 6 years; beggars belief.

Saw this on Facebook from 'I Love Thailand'. Couldn't see Hua Hin mentioned. Is Phuket being overun.

Being smart, tactful and respectful are obviously not characteristics required to become a monk.

Respect to you for passing on some of your goods to the BHF. I have often shopped at BHF for items, purely because I have had life saving open heart surgery as well as physiopherapy from staff within their foundation. For those who have never been, their shops are not all full of old tat, they do sometimes sell new furniture and other good quality items. If you get to a BHF shop in an affluent area you could pick up some good deals.

Yeh, you exaggerated, I bet that tree saw wasn't rusty!.

Yes it is the country (airport) that you have come from that determines if you should require going through security in transit. It is all to do with the security requirments of your transit country and whether the airport you have come from reaches the standards of security required by that transit country. When I traveled from Heathrow to Helsinki and on to Bangkok, there was no need to go through security at Helsinki. However, on the return trip from Bangkok to Helsinki and on to Heathrow, we were all directed through security in transit. Reason being that Heathrow was judged to have good security and therefore no need to repeat in Helsinki. Bangkok on the other hand was deemed not to have the same level of security required by Finland, and therefore all transit passenegers had to go through security before taking the next flight.

The thing that struck me most was that thing that I assume is a finger holding the receipt, is it in a plastic glove, or maybe she had her fingers half boiled as well.

Great brewery with some awesome ales. Red MacGregor being one of my favourites. Haven't tried the Dark Island, but looks very inviting and drinkable.

1. Well I could say sciatica for 1 and 2 as I have suffered two occasions of this terrible pain. I will keep both at number 1 though. I never knew such pain could exist until I had my first bout. It is so dibilitating, just trying to move was an ordeal. It is difficult to imagine trying to go to bed and that in itself becomes a process that needed planning. Just going to the loo was something I wish I didn't have to do. Any movement was beyond painful. 2. Like @Derek Dangleberries, I had root canal surgery at my dentist in Singapore, back in 1987. I had plenty of anaesthetic but it just didn't make a difference, the nerve pain was almost unbearable. 3. I could say 2 bouts of flu and the recent pain in my gallstone area but it is probably not as bad as the pain suffered from taking the full impact of a football into my groin when I was about 25. Women may say that having a baby is the most painful event for them but most women would be happy to have another baby, I certainly would never want to get a football smashed into my nutsack ever again. 3a. An honourable mention for a local incision into my knee to cut out a solidified blood clot that had remained after blood poisoning. I got a knock on my knee and the day after I couldn't move, I had red lines traveling from my knee down to my foot and up to my groin. I was rushed to hospital as they had to prevent the poisoning going further. Magnesium Sulphate paste was applied to the leg as well as other remedies but after a day the blood poisoning had subsided but centralised in clot under my knee. I had to have an injection right into the area just around the clot and then an incision made. The pain was so bad a burly Irish nurse literally had to hold me down. It might have only been for about 10 seconds but I have never forgotten that experience.

I'm Welsh and partial to lamb, we don't hit on the chickens in the valleys.

After my walk today, I got back to Neath town and realized, at 1600, I hadn't eaten anything all day. I just had 1 pint of beer inside me. It's a Friday so bought Harry Ramsden's jumbo cod duo. My preference, Haddock, was sold out. £6 for 500 grams of fish. It was 1830 before I got my first meal of the day. One portion of cod (250 gram) with Maris Piper chips and baby peas. I added tartar sauce after taking the photo. I did too many chips, but it was a welcome meal.
