For those interested do a google search on David Goodall Perth. He is/was a very amazing man.

A quick wrap of this weeks fantasy.

Alex's Delightful Dees had a good percentage booster over Numnuts 1877-1009 and will be delighted with his red and blue scorers.

Great score of 1967 for Grannys Apples to get over Rip with 1840(good score as well)

Final game came down to the last minute of the last game with FJ's Flyers falling across the line over Chooks Saints

1648-1642.

So after 5 games the ladder is Grannys Apples undefeated followed FJ,Alex,Chook,Rip and Numbnuts bringing up the rear.

I am glad Numnuts is there but in reality I am last.

This even made AFL.com.

I agree Rip but i thought early the umps threw the whistle away so Brown's free kicks he didn't get evened it up.

 

This was not the Umps putting the whistle away. We are always informed that all goals are reviewed. To day it was proved that this is incorrect. Sorry they may be reviewed but not before the ball is bounced. The AFL have to change their procedure. The goal review people have to inform the umpires it is clear to bounce. We used to wait for the TV channels to show their adds before the bounce so this I think this is more important . It can change the out come of a game. 

Now a whinge.

AFL umpires always state that all goals are reviewed. They should wait until they do before they bounce the ball. The replays clearly showed that McVeigh touch the ball and it should have been a behind instead of a goal. The AFL have stuffed up again.

Bought a 2 boxes of Leo big bottles beer today. Still  600 baht per box.

Wops..for you Thai living guys, Thompson was released on bail over drugs etc found in his bedroom that has his DNA all over them.......

We do read the news from OZ.

I liked this little quote

Detective Senior Constable Naomi Bourke told the court Thompson was a flight risk because he had access to large amounts of money and a yacht.

Kev

When we go to Chiang Mai we stay at the Mercure. Not to far away and can walk. I'll try and attend next year.

What a great win by the Swans. Down by 22 at 3/4 time and win by 17.  

Thanks for posting Kevvy. Where in Chiang Mai was it held?

Huge storms this afternoon. The lightning was fierce and very close at times. Strong wind during the storms. We 3 storms within 90 minutes. The first missed us but the next 2 made up for it. Had to turn the Aussie Rules telecast off.

Kangaroos,

Simply stunning display and a top 8 contender.

Why did you not tip them?

Woah, never saw that one coming.

 

I think it's a first that nobody has picked a winner in the last

two Friday night games.

Very true Will. I have never seen it before. Lets hope we all improve this round. Did anyone take the Swans in the Gauntlet?

Today!

That would be much in favor of you.

Bangkok Bank note buying today would be a miserable 23.55 (TT would be 23.88).

I got a shock as well. I looked on Transferwise this morning and they were offering 24.24.

I did my extension to day using Australian Dollars. The rate they used was 24.66 baht to the Aust Dollar. This was up north. They had it on a list with other currencies.

Well Trend Setters

 

A tough round of tipping this week with a few upsets.

 

Mr Smith continued his good for with 7 and maintains

his 2 win buffer.

 

AlexRRR and myself were the other 2 that tipped 7 with myself

being closest to the margin.

 

 

 

 

Well done Will. Great to get an early win.

Photographs needed?

 

Passport copies etc?

I transferred mine in 2016 at Chiang Rai. I handed over both Passports and nothing else. There was no charge. There were 2 stamps placed in my new passport. Mine is an Australian passport. The Embassy put a stamp in the old passport and no letter was required.
