  1. Is there a new 5 disease medical form other than the short very basic one?
     

    I just went to a local clinic, told them it was for driving license, they gave me the basic health check, weight, height, blood pressure, counted my limbs etc, 100 baht.
    Worked fine in Ayutthaya DLT.

    The 5 disease med cert is for an OA visa, maybe other things also but I don’t believe it’s required for a DL.
  2. Awesome!!  Rocky Mountain Way from the same show.  Love the voice box effect.
     
     
     

    Yup, some music just sounds so much better live !!

    I had two brothers 3 and 5 years older than me so my music tastes were defined by what they were into at the time .

    For example.
    Made in Japan was the first album I really adored I guess but was disappointed with their studio albums, even though I bought every one in a hope of finding similar ( Live in Europe comes a close second ).

    Barnstormer and The Smoker ... were great albums and excellent for those quieter moments.
    If you want Joe at his most energetic then You Can’t Argue With A Sick Mind is what is needed !!

  3. Yes, after being away from the uk since ‘95 ( but still a frequent visitor ) I can see the gears ticking over when I say to my friends or ex work colleagues I now live in Thailand . Perception of Thailand ranges from jealousy ( I.e. living in a paradise ) to mild disgust ( “ you should be ashamed at your age “ ????) and anything in between !!

     

    As for football !!

     

    Hailing from a small village in between Leeds and Bradford I did as many of my friends did and chose to route for the best team !!, although nowadays there’s not much between them !!

    Long gone are the super 70’s and all the glory that came with it, Leeds currently trying to get back into the Premier !

     

    Bradford on the other hand  , you have to go back to 1911 to find anything to celebrate !!

     

    On a more sombre note:

    Yesterday marked 34 years since the dreadful Bradford City fire and the 56 lives that were lost.

    Although I wasn’t present I do have friends who were there and recently I encountered an old work colleague, although we didn’t discuss the fire on our last meeting I couldn’t fail to remember him telling me how it was the first game he had taken his 6 year old son and his panic when people started to realise the extent of the danger was traumatic !!

    ( Both him and his son still attend City and their lower sister club Bradford Park Avenue ).

     

    RIP to the 56 .
