"True" to form ! 

Thank you ! 

I suppose it could be COPD with me too. I smoked from aged 11 to my mid 50s. Stopped when I got kidney cancer ! Have had regular X-rays over last 5 years as part of kidney / health checks and nothing untoward has been reported, apart from what I wrote above.

I'm one of the peeps that don't drink well almost. 2 pints a week is about my limit.

Now if you had said no Tea that would have been a real disaster have about 10 mugs a day.

Me too, the last pint of beer I bought cost me two shillings and three pence. In the bar at the Red Rose, in Middlesbrough !
I don't drink  tea either, only water.

I have had wheezing in my chest for a couple of years. Various Doctors have told me it was Pneumonia,  Bronchitis or a throat infection. I've had several lots of antibiotics and it did not improve. I also cough up a lot of phlegm (green never any blood in it ), particularly on a morning. I am quite fit, I exercise for 2 hours every morning, and am aged 62. Any ideas ?

At least she won't be "raisin" any more terrorists....  

Our local True shop still hasn't got any receivers in for the football package. Absolutely useless.

Lotta sissies out there Smokes !

There does seem to be a lot of people who regularly contribute to the Football forum, that don't enter this competition.

I did a "Leicester" last year, but having seen some of their Pre-season games, it looks as though they are not going to be anywhere near this season....

"The Scum" 4th ?
Newcastle were relegated last season....

Typical of that rag, signed and shared on Facebook. I've also asked my Boro supporting mates to add the link to various Boro fan sites.

Never had you down as being pedantic,  Kan Win ! 

If they ever get them in stock ! 

I was referring to paying for the Gold or Platinum packages as being double what CTH charged, when one adds in the receiver rental, and the extra payment for the football, if one has the Gold package.

Has anyone actually got one of these new "football only" boxes ? Our local shop are STILL waiting to get them in stock, and keep trying to talk us into getting the Gold or Platinum packages instead. I'm seriously thinking about not bothering with football on TV, if it's going to be twice the price of what I paid CTH. It isn't the cost, it's the principle. Why pay double for a service that isn't as good ?

Wish I could Chicog. I live in the only place in Thailand that can't get fast Broadband !
Sigh....

This is good news, it will save me an all day trip to Phitsanulok, every year !

Have a look at post 256 , page 11 of this topic, biker Bob - it explains there how much they are charging for the football, for each of Truevisions packages.
Sorry can't get the quote thing to work !

That England won the World Cup. Blimey that went quickly !

I can remember watching it in glorious black & white, as a boy, Then a few of us went to the local park to replay the game, with jumpers for goalposts !

There's a special programme on BBC 2 tomorrow, commemorating the event.

In view of your impending holiday, might I suggest messaging all those who were in last year's competitions ?

We finally got one of the cars out of our flooded road today, and went to our local TrueVision shop in town. We were told that we could rent the box, for 390 baht per month, and then get all of the Football they provide, for a further 399 Baht per month. (789 Baht total). They do not have any boxes in, though, they are expecting them late next week. We weren't given the option to buy the box. We have found previously that our local shop generally has different offers to everywhere else, (no idea why !), so please don't shoot the messenger, if this deal doesn't apply where you live ! The shop is quite often wrong, when they check up with head office, but we have been unable to get an answer to any phone calls we've made to Truevision's helplines, to confirm with them what we were told this morning.

I believe the True plug in and play digital box will give you access to all football leagues and cups they show for 399bhat! Does sound and amzing deal, but it is for footy only and no other sports I believe. I imagine most of the other channels available are only Thai.

I'll be amazed if that's the price. It would suit me though, I don't want any of the movie or "Entertainment" channels, they have way too many adverts for my liking ! My wife is under the impression that all satellite companies must show the basic Thai Channels 3, 7, etc for free, as it is a legal obligation - hope she's right, she'll be lost without her soaps !

Put me down for the Main comp, please Mr B.

Am I entered in the Champions League, as well ?

Bought a Moov and Xiaomi on Lazada and its as good as the Fitbit only +- B 700 and B 630 respectively(depending on the discount you get on Lazada, prices are also coming down fast). At these prices you can buy +- 9 knock offs for price of a Fitbit.

Sadly, my really slow internet doesn't seem to like Lazada ! I''ll try having a look though.

Thanks to all posters for some informative and interesting replies !
