  Rumor has it that Covid 19 , is quite infectious 

And facts suggest most people don’t know they have it, and those that do get over it fairly easily. 

If it were bubonic plague I’d condemn her, what’s the evidence of mass infections following her actions?

I saw him Inn in a testimonial at White Hart lane l.. cant rememberr if it was Glenn hoddles or Stevie Perry man ...even so,  out of all the great players I've see,  greaves law Gaza  hoddle romario  Ronaldinho Mathews .blah de blah.   next to Besty.. who I have a long standing personal grudge against ..despite iit being a friendly for want of a better term seeing   maradona Goas  down as the biggest feather in my football watchin lifes hat...

I only ever saw George Best once, he played for Hibernian against St Mirren at Love Street, Paisley ... he was overweight and way past his peak, on a play for pay deal. Despite that his touch, positional play and football IQ was really outstanding. You saw glimpses of the great player he undoubtedly was, despite his much lower fitness level.

He's biggest claim to fame was his failed drug test in the 1994 world cup in USA and other failed drug test if you think how corrupt La Liga used to be maybe he would have failed them all.

How many of his performances were drug induced? all of them I would say.

If it was anyone else you would be shouting from the rooftops ban him for life 

I don’t think many Olympians won gold medals on cocaine? You have to be careful with the “drugs cheat” label ... surely it doesn’t apply to recreational drug users? I don’t think heroin or cocaine improved anyone’s performance, quite the opposite. Maradona was no Lance Armstrong or Ben Johnson, who used performance enhancing drugs. Maradona was great despite abusing his body with recreational drugs.

I can understand the bitterness of some (not all) England fans, but the simple truth is that you weren’t going to win that game even if the “hand of God” incident didn’t happen. Get over it.

I like Mexican food. And Chinese. And some Thai. And some Japanese sushi occasionally. German is surprisingly good also.

  Always be remembered for being a cheat though , unsportsman like  and ungentlemanly conduct and not playing to the rules 

You could say that of many footballers ... the Leeds United team in the 70’s under Revie, Graham Souness, Vinnie Jones and the Wimbledon team, Tommy Smith ... and many others. I think ultimately Maradona will be remembered for his exceptional ability. I don’t personally believe the so-called “hand of God” incident would have changed the outcome as Argentina were the better team.

I think my assumption is largely correct, given the number of Range Rovers driven in London that will never see a country lane. My main point however is that it’s pretty dumb to spend 2 times plus the European price for any of these cars, however much money you have.

There are many sad stories in Thailand, but are they really your problem? Be careful your good nature and kind heart isn’t being taken advantage of. Your wife’s brother is responsible for these children, not you.

Finally someone speaking sense... this rent argument story is getting so boring.

What does buying a condo in Bangkok as an expat actually mean? It is effectively a 30 year lease, combined with annual maintenance charges. Sure, some people may be fortunate enough to sell a few years later for more than they paid, if market conditions permit. But many I have read about have lost money or ended up with an asset that is difficult to sell. Buying a condo in Thailand is no slam dunk.

Slightly off topic. But I am having a long overdue one week holiday up North in Chiang Rai, and if I wasn't committed, as I am, to where I live now, I'd establish myself there without hesitation. Small quiet place with everything a healthy Farang retiree could dream of.

I would agree with you about it being a great place, but you forgot to mention the pollution, which lasts months. And that’s why, even though I really like the place, I could never live there full time.

A few years back I used the dentist who has a clinic in the large Mall beside the Hilton Hotel. It’s on the same floor as the beauty services. I was a bit apprehensive as I wasn’t sure how skilled and professional they would be. But the lady who dealt with me was really excellent, and as good as any dentist I’d used in the UK, and I’ve had some good ones. Worth a try if you can’t find one you like.

I remember it made a revival around 1980, with the Who’s Quadrophenia movie, loosely based on the story told in the earlier Album of the same name. The album was always a puzzle because it’s more rock than soul ... The Real Me and Love, Reign O’er Me ... being the standout tracks. Had an interesting cast ... Ray Winstone, Phil Daniels, Toya Wilcox and Sting. The original Mods were a product of the 1960s but I still see groups on scooters wearing German and Fishtail Parkas every now and then in the Summer ... reliving their childhoods.

Are you of Scottish decent?

If you like em, let em. If you don't like em, tell em you prefer to be on your own.

It’s descent ... and stop peddling myths. Scots are just as daft with their money as every other foreigner in Thailand.

It is the give an inch take a mile! Would you do it? Seriously, would you turn up at your mothers house every night, with your wife and expect your mother to cook for a 40 year old couple at your expense?  whilst trying to support your own family? Feeding 5? Sorry but I am not some food Charity!

it’s gas, electric and spices? And one meal. It strikes me that you just don’t want them coming round because the “cost” doesn’t amount to much ... Thai food is quickly made? Two people? If money is very tight I understand.
