Phew....So thoroughly shattered emotionally I lost count of penalties...........And missed my shouting and screaming fit when we went through.

No good reason to hate based on colour.......... On a brighter note........I read somewhere the lucky portent.....Andy Murray didn't play Wimbledon in '66 and he's not playing it in 2018......Football's coming home!!

OK ok I know this is old stuff.......but I'm finding a new appreciation of it........ Here's a new version........... Such a beautiful well sung song. But lovely as it is..........Hear the pure masters themselves.......... And it appears the Beach Boys not only produced wonderful lasting music..........One of them created 'old-man-shit-dancing'

Firstly momentum..... Let's look at Portugal winners of the last Euros....... "Draw with Iceland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia (won in ET), Poland (won on pens), First win in Semi Finals against Wales and a Draw with France (won in ET) in the final." They were mostly rubbish.........one win in normal time in 7 games. But they won the whole shebang!!......And get covered in glory all the shit play forgotten. "Germany in WC 2014 drew with Ghana in their second group game and narrowly beat USA to win the group – playing awful football, no momentum, until they got to the ¼’s – won

Germany out!! I like watching Germany (unless they are playing England)........there's much to appreciate in their play and I would have bet my house that by hook or crook they'd have made the final........ BUT they did invent a word.............Schadenfreude, which means 'pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. Schaden means ‘harm’ and Freude ‘joy’. It is indeed a sad thing that this word exists. However, they coined the word.......and it's finally the rest of the footballing world's turn to feel that guilty pleasure. As one go our greatest heroes...............Nel

I wrote about this a couple of years ago......... I've known about this falang's existence for a while now, but last night I got more of the story. I was so touched by what I heard I became dewey-eyed.... filled-up....Getting soft with age you see. It was told to me by a lady business owner in North Pattaya I'm close too. Three years ago, two of her staff had approached a falang they noticed sleeping rough, not far from their shop. They tried to get the story of why a respectable looking and it turned out, polite falang would be behaving like this. The story he told....(uncorroborated)...

Random fan thoughts. I prefer to watch important England matches in my room without distractions; allowing me to totally imbibe the drama, tension and excitement. It was useful for me though that my son is over. He's still at Uni' but plays in a semi-pro league in Australia and his commentary on the England game was measured and instructive. By the time the 3rd goal went in we could both totally relax and enjoy the game, the goals and each other's 'company' Anything can happen but we've set our sights on England reaching the quarters. We both agree that Kane isn't England's

Australia have been brilliant......Great TEAM. I'd be proud. Morocco were good too. Didn't see the Argentina game........Maybe God's Croatian.

Good fun.

I'm not sure about that......I like to Pay as I go monthly The way I do it is: get a True money voucher from 7/11 with 14 numbers. My use costs 550bt which is 30 days of everything.....Movies, series and live TV but you can purchase other cheaper but more limited options. Unhelpfully True money doesn't allow 550 baht amounts so I have to hand over 590bt but the un-used credit builds up and either next time, or later I use it up. On screen you go into 'Account'.... 'Buy points' (tap in your True money number) and then click on the option you've chosen. It instantly allows the access

I use HD Prime........Not difficult to pay-as-you go just tap in the numbers..... Usually excellent reception, though sometimes a nightmare......For some reason BBC 2 can be iffy......(Makes PMQs problematic)...... Happy that there are 3 Thai channels for quality world-cup back-up plus I have on my Android another dozen or so options. Barring lightening strikes and power-cuts I'm covered......Back-stop my ipnone is kept fully charged on England match nights.

Of course I'm watching last night from behind the settee (it's 'England' after all).......Great nail-biting entertainment. Bright start......England were very good apart from their finishing and then 'H'.....(That stands for 'Harry' but really he should be known by his nom-de-guerre of,'Johnny on the spot').....'H' tucks a rebound off the keeper away. I came out from behind the sofa......'Gonna be easy'...... Squandered open goals and posts start to add up and then a penalty awarded to Tunisia. 'Here we go, here we go....again' comes to mind. And as deflated as a 'Brady football' Engl

I was 50 when I first landed in BKK ........I'm very glad I wasn't younger. I went crazy enough as it was. I'm very weak where temptation's involved. I get what the OP is saying......but a young guy coming here could easily formulate a very skewed creed that would be hard to ever recover from.

I Claudius

Thanks for the heads up.

Bill said to Ben: 'Flobadobablop" Ben said to Bill: 'If you love me Bill you'd swallow that.' On subject Is it 'Torchwood?'

Jackanory?

There were 3 for brunch........So that inflated things by a third.....And has perhaps been misleading. Mantra's Sunday brunch is highly rated..........It deserves to be. I'd booked during the week and asked for a romantic table.....They'd listened ...The soft seated semi-circular sofa was...... easier on the eye than it is to say. After ordering a wonderful Aussie cabernet for me, and something white and sparkling for my lady guests it was a case of where do we start? Going by the spoons and things laid out in front of me and having seen Downton Abbey I guessed the salad bar......

Thanks Jacko....

Yes....... we'd never ever dream of talking about any real problems.

Actually Squire......you've had a rough run lately what with the Shitx shitx lightening.......But you've managed to keep your pecker up. My Yaris is 11 years old........I've serviced it at least 4 times a year, but I think Toyota just follow a pattern and somethings may be being ignored. I've decided to keep it for another 5.......So next service will be at that yellow Quick- fit place near Big C. I'll give them a long list. I expect expense. You'll be delighted to know that my romantic entanglement get's ever more expensive. Tomorrows outing will cost me 12,000 +....Yikes I can buy an

Only read this if you're already thoroughly bored .......and then only as an exercise to see if it's possible for your hitherto boredom limits to be breached. .......Or if your telly's playing-up and gone pink too. There was no lead-up to this..........Watching the news Thurs morning and the screen of my TV dimmed and pinked. First thoughts: 'Just this channel'? .........Nope it was the lot..... Second thoughts: Google the problem........Found quite a lot of info and quick tips. Tried them all, didn't solve the matter. Third thoughts: Thank God it happened before the Wo

Yes Deadwood is deadgood.

I went to Dr Oliviers yesterday. I noticed medical certificates for driving licenses is a service he still provides.... doesnt mean you still need one. I have to go in October. My birthday is now sadly the same day the king died. I expect a closure and a whopping queue the day before or the day after. If you go after your Bd Jacko confirm no hassle over this and an extra year. The closure on my bd in that sense would be very helpful excuse for me.

This will be good......I'm going Thursday. Nice promo...
