Great read again, as per usual. Keep an eye out for news of today's Papa Johns Trophy final, Bolton v Plymouth at Wembley. Well over 70,000 tickets sold and neither club is one of the very biggest in League 1. Up The Whites!!!

What a depressing story. With global coverage now at play, Thailand will have to do the decent thing. I hope they end up somewhere that makes them feel welcome. Canada or New Zealand would be my guess.

This is where all the Thais will go when the Chinese are back en masse. Same as pre-Covid.

Big Sam lives in Bromley Cross - it's in Bolton BTW.

I tbought I heard licences mentioned.

You're not wrong. M&S are pulling out of Bolton town centre. The outskirts are the places to be. Like Bury.

Low hanging fruit. What about those who hire them?

Iceland .... or was it Aldi?

When Amazon Coffee started out it was on the proviso that they only had outlets at PTT service stations. This proviso soon went by the wayside and Amazon seem to be Starbuck's main competitor now. Small and independant outlets have been shoved out of the way as a consequence. The state must prevail. SMEs? Pffftt!!

That is likely true. I just wonder if the upcoming election will have any impact on decision making. Tourists and expats mostly don't have a vote.

Edit. I see there is a topic running on this in Thailand News.

In Bangkok the mayor seems to be taking a harsh approach to anti-social Songkram behaviour, maybe Pattaya and others will follow suit. See the Bangkok news forum for more detail.

A report on 103FM this morning stated that from next Monday those who have unpaid fines will not be able to renew road tax or licences. Also, if stopped at a checkpoint and unpaid fines show up on the cop's database a further fine is payable. I think 2,000 Baht was the figure quoted.

Is one card valid for both branches?

His business model is a complete non-starter.

Per the above post, my estimate of a 60K crowd is wrong. 70K + will be on; Bolton have sold 33K, Argyle 37. Still a week to go. The Papa Johns Trophy final is on Sunday 2nd April and Sky will be broadcasting the game live. Two decent League 1 teams who both play proper football should give viewers a good spectacle.

What part of Southgate's anatomy does Solly March have to kiss to get into an England squad?

Likely not but interesting timing. I believe the deadline for points deductions this season has just passed so any penalty will only take effect next season. Anyone would think that the EPL doesn't want to see Everton relegated. Do you seriously think that City will be punished, BTW? If they are they only have themselves to blame, hiding various coaching and other costs under the City Football Group entity rather than putting them against MCFC. Luckily they pay for the best lawyers as well as the most creative accountants.

Ads covering the whole page for the Hong Kong sevens rugby is the new scourge. When I spend more time removing ads covering content than posting, something is out of kilter.

Where we up to? World War III, IV or V?

That's OK then.

I think 2 or 3 vids a week would be a better option for you and your viewers, Rooster. Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 3 maybe. You are making a rod for your own back - quality not quantity should be the watchword. Try finding something fresh and original to say every day in another month. Good luck either way.

You are all heart. Maybe; when you get older yourself; you will have a better understanding.

He only wanted a doner kebab. What a fuss.

This has been reported in the Singapore press and no doubt in HK's too. Not good publicity.
