     Ok ok - I will have to watch it again - it was a few years ago, I remember it being pretty intense. 
     Thanks for the suggestion - I like Kevin Bacon in TV shows, did you catch the following a few years back.

     

    It's a very good show, almost up there with the excellent Bosch imho. Oh and there's a tenuous link between those two shows - the talented Titus Welliver aka Bosch starred in the film The Town which of course like City on a Hill is about a ruthless gang of armed robbers in Boston.

     

    No. I've not seen The Following yet, it's on my very long waiting list as is the highly rated Yellowstone starring "the other Kevin". I agree on Bacon, good things can happen when film stars hit the small screen, but it's not always the case.

    Edson Arantes do Nascimento - Pelé

    I met him once in Brazil, late 90’s, he came to the town where I was living to visit a friend ( Elzo Coelho , who played in the 86 World Cup ).

    Word spread that he was in town and the hordes descended on Elzo’s small football training camp where a barbecue was planned.

    I was invited ( friend of a friend of a friend ) and got to compliment and shake his hand before he was whisked away by his security and the barbecue was a bit of a non event ????

    I often met and drank with one of my footballing idols, Kerry Dixon. I lived just around the corner from his pub in Dunstable for a few years. I have to admit though that you've raised the bar.........

  3. Here's one that we don't have to wait for, complete first season available from the pirates.

     

    Tell Me Your Secrets follows "a trio of characters, each with a mysterious and troubling past: Emma (formerly known as Karen Miller) is a woman who once looked into the eyes of a dangerous killer, John is a former serial predator desperate to find redemption, and Mary is a grieving mother obsessed with finding her missing daughter. As each of them is pushed to the edge, the truth about their pasts and motives grows ever murkier, blurring the lines between victim and perpetrator."

    I'm really into Queen of the South at the moment. It's on Netflix. It's much more action and thrill than the trailer shows. Give it a try. Good acting too. It's a lot like those Narcos series as well as Breaking Bad in a way but with a female.

     

    I agree, Mrs BM and I enjoy watching this, she keeps asking me when the next series is coming, the latest gossip is "some time in June".

     

    Fortunately we won't have to wait that long for the new season of Sons of Anarchy spin-off "Mayans MC", which is due on the 16th of March, you'll probably like that if you like QotS.

    Right...another way to look at the situation in Thailand is to compare Covid deaths and road deaths...

     

    First six weeks in Thailand

     

    Covid less than five... (don't know the exact number)

     

    Road deaths more that 2,000

     

    Billions lost to Covid mitigation including stupid lockdowns...and draconian immigration policies...but Thailand isn't alone in this...

     

    Yes, because it is 100% true that road deaths are contagious, must be  true because I read it somewhere on the internet.

     

    I wonder whether you call lockdowns "stupid" because you don't understand the science or because you simply choose to ignore it.

     

    You conspiracy sheep are so funny at times.

    Seriouly, how many round house kickc can you watch..5555 , too predictable and repetitious for me.

     

    A few episodes in and rest assured @CharlieH this reboot is not a carbon copy of the Chuck Norris show, so no roundhouse kicks involved. It's closer to "Longmire" than to the original Walker, Texas Ranger, IMO.

    Hi.  I live in Pattaya and I have a UK driving licence for car and motorbike but no International Driving Licence.  I wish to make first time applications for Thai driving licences.  I would be grateful based on recent experience if any one can advise on any of the following questions regarding my proposed applications.   Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give.

     

    1. Does the local Land Transport office insist on you having an International Driving Licence?

     

    2. Is there any way for me to get an International Driving Licence in Thailand.  I have looked on the net but found no helpful information.

     

    3. Can anyone based on their own experience recommend a reputable agent who could assist me?

     

     

    I can clear up the first one - no, IDP's (Permits, not Licences) can only be obtained in the country where your licence was issued.

     

    Even if you didn't have a licence from home you could still get a Thai one by taking their test.
