Re: Football (not Premier League)

England B XI 0-1 Brazil D XI I'm going to have to stop watching England friendlies. This was a pretty dire and useless game, despite the commentators' and pundits' attempts to talk it up. I don't remember any point at which England looked likely to score. I soon lost interest to the extent that I w...

Re: Replacement knee surgery

My son can't be sure, because he wasn't looking that closely, i.e. Social Security paid for most of his, but he thinks: HHH - 87,000฿ San Paulo - 400,000฿ Price of the necessary MRI scan (free with Social Security) varied vastly also i.e. HHH 10,000฿ BH - 20,000฿ Your best bet is to visit the doc in...

Re: Football (not Premier League)

No, I don't consider myself other than an armchair fan these days. I just look at the sell out stadium week after week with 20% of those fans travelling to all away matches. Closest local derby 100 miles. Excellent fan base. However, that isn't going to last long with the absolute dildo they have in...

Re: Replacement knee surgery

Oh yes, there is an entire floor at the top of the newer building. Once rumoured to have been built to house a very special visitor. Even the nurses station is large enough to stage a 5 aside football match. Quite special. Because he had an operation already booked, booking a room was quite simple. ...

Turn off the lights for “Earth Hour” tomorrow

After seeing this month's leccy bill, I think we should have one of these every day.

This seems to be a worldwide initiative between 8:30pm and 9:30pm tomorrow. As they say, "Every little helps.)

Re: Replacement knee surgery

My son had the same procedure as 404cameljockey 5 weeks ago in Hua Hin. He is recovering very nicely. He was told he could have the op in either BH or HHH. It would have been the same doctor, who travels from Bangkok a couple of times a month for both hospitals. He chose HHH and booked in to the VIP...

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

Yes, I was listening to the Thai Football Podcast (in English) earlier today, and they reckon this new Japanese coach is the business. BTW I don't post much about the national team because there is information overload on the multitude of Thai national teams. It is often too difficult to distinguish...

Re: Dried Peas

After many years of searching, I think I've found a reasonable source of dried peas, 98฿/Kilo from Lazada. I've just tried some, and they were the real thing - best mushies I've had since 2012. The duvet could be floating tonight :oops:
