    Not that I agree with them, (My idea is better), but getting into the play-offs gives just a 1 in 4 chance of promotion.

     

    I think you are right about the same two clubs meeting at Wembley to decide who goes up. I think Ipswich are on an unstoppable roll at the mo. It could be The Owls, but I think it will be Plymouth who miss automatic, and drop into the play-offs.

     

    I'll be sorry to see The Cherries go down. They might never get back to EPL.

     

    What manager is next for the chop? The Irons have a tough one tonight. Could be Moysee!

    Yeah, that stadium was emptying pretty quickly last night and Twitter's been full of disgruntled hammers fans today.

    Easter is here now, we'll know a lot more after the break.

    She wants to finish with me. Sell the farm and I must go away.

    She can't be serious Owl surely. Problem with this type of dissent is it can progress and grow arms and legs if left to fester and go unchecked. Counselling Owl? Fancy it?

    Can't make it out Owl.

     

    After running up a record twenty something games undefeated they went the next four not winning one.

     

    Expectations are still high though. 28k at Hillsborough for Saturday's draw with Lincoln. Unfortunately, the sudden rise of Ipswich make automatic promotion - that once seemed a formality - in doubt. And to make things worse, the other lot - the red and whites striped lot - are on fire, and could easily make it into the EPL.

     

     

     

     

    Just a lack of quality available now we're losing players to injury, it's that simple. As far as the unmentionables go, I look forward to see their batterings next season.????

    Very tough game at Barnsley for The Owls last night. They seemed in control after 75 minutes when the made it 2-2. They went to sleep, and let in two more goals to end their running run.

     

    My thoughts exactly Owl. Thought they let us off the hook a bit at 2-0 we were rocking and could have got battered. Onto the next game, all to play for.

    Don't think that's a realistic sign Owl.

     

    Obviously a disgruntled Iron's fan, who switched allegiance in days past; and regrets it. Now they can see the 'O's back on their way to the very top, while the Irons emotionally suffer from having left their famous old home; The Boleyn Ground (Upton Park).

     

     

     

    These clubs do give up a lot of hard earned history when they leave their grounds. Moving to that big lifeless bowl hasn't done them any favours at all in my opinion of course. Hope we stay at Hillsborough forever although that river gets a bit close at times and it has flooded the itch at least once. The O's are going well aren't they, can't be far off being confirmed as promoted now. Maybe we could jack the whole stadium up by a metre or two, that would solve it, great engineering project as well.

    Thanks boss.

    We did have over 80 rai, but done a deal and lost 18 rai. But gained a tractor and another 4 rai closer to the farm house.. Looking to get the farm next to us. That'll be another 22 rai.

     

    Michael has done a grand job with the vid.

     

     

     

    What's with the Owl at the start of the video Owl? He's not another Owl is he? We get all over.????

    Found an interesting add for a www this morning.

     

    Can't make me mind up if it's a biblical or a flat-earther's add.

    I could put it in AN's joke section. Think I will.

     

    Took note of the www and will have a look later.

     

    I've always struggled with this, 16th, 17th, 18th centuries and they all thought the earth was flat but old Zeus made Atlas walk round with the world on his back, how did the ancients know before our more recent ancestors?

    Same here Owl.

     

    Right from the start I fancied Van Gerwen and that German guy, who was beaten in the semis. Smith played exceptionally well and got better as the show went on.

    I had him at 11/4. It was a free bet so no actual money lost fortunately.

    Owl Log - 08-01-2023 - Sunday mid-dayish

     

    An interesting week. Didn't get to Udon. Didn't sort out the water pump. Didn't get the stone from the supplier for the road fix. But it was busy!

     

    Went to a dog farm earlier in the week. Went again yesterday. Dogs everywhere! TBH, I was just as interested in the farm water set up.

     

    920928499_11111solarwater.png.28ec4a843075facabb61784f91d1fdae.png

     

    Let it run 24/7. Switches itself on an hour after sun-up, and off about 16-30. Not yet been tested in the rain, cause there has not been any for a coupe of months..

    Has the option of filling the pond, watering the garden or filling the house tank.

    Cost about 25k baht all told.

    Can't say the doggies were not nice though. And we (I), finished up buying two. Oscar and Robert.

    Do a mini Owl Log later today, when I've sorted out the pics from yesterday.

     

    This beautiful riggie caught the eye.

    I was wondering why they put the pipes on the surface.

     

    Now I know.

    A new house is about to spring up. And they have dug out a pond.

    It seems a bit close to the road to me. Only about 30 metres. Can't be a really big house planned. Watch this space for updates.

     

    Talking of dogs. They were at it again on Wednesday night.

    I'm thinking that a new bin is in order. One that the soi-dogs can't easily get into for their rubbish fix.

     

    But in the meantime a tool to help pick it all up, when it gets scattered all over the place. It's good. Can pick up fag-butts and tooth-pick.

    And it has proved its worth at the farm when Mildred does a tidy-up.

    The cows are going into the palm farm every day. They can't really do any damage, and their poopoo is welcome.

    For quite a while now, I have been feeling guilty about keeping the budgies in their little cage. I spoke to Mildred about letting them go. Mrs Owl said to let them out too. So Saturday morning me and Mildred set them free.

    The blue bird didn't get far before he landed. Just over the road into Bella's yard.

    Had a look before going off to the dog farm. He was gone. We'll never see them again. Freedom! I feel much better. I hope they do too.

     

    Far more farmers are baling their rice stubble this season.

    Of course if you are gonna keep a dog or two, they have to be looked after.

     

    Two dog-houses to be built.

    And!! Don't want them getting out to explore their new village.

    A busy week alright. Dogs, budgies, busted roof, farm had a haircut and a nut cut.

     

    Footy roundup.

    Well done the owls for rolling over Toon. 27k at Hillsborough. Wolves were unlucky. Orient still lead their division by 5 points. Fulham having a nice run. The Bees were outstanding against Pool but not good enough against The Irons. "It's a funny old game." Geavsie was right. And pretender Harry Kane - who couldn't hit a barn-door in the World Cup when asked - is only a couple of goals away from Jimmy's record at Spurs. Gonna lose sleep over that.

     

    World focus.

    Anyone wanting peace in the Ukraine conflict in the US, is demonised it seems to me.

    The house finally voted in a chair. I think the Dems missed a trick early on. MacDonnald was their least worst enemy. They should have voted him in right at  the start. After all, there were a couple of Repubs thay just didn't want. Maths gonna be taught at schools until the kids are 18, according to Rishi Rich. Better to teach about the world banking system and how it works.

     

    A decent nut-cut in the week. Put a few baht in me bin. Needed it this week.

     

    Mildred back to school tomorrow. Only one day in last week for exams. She said the maths was easy the Thai language so-so, but found Thai history testing. No art or music lessons at the school.

     

    The farm has had a make-over. 3k baht plus petrol for three guys to grass-cut it all. So not bad at all.

     

    The toilet it giving problems. Need to call out the poopoo wagon today.

     

    Darts at the Alley Pally had a fantastic finally. Absolutely outstanding from Van Gerwin and Smith; who was the solid and deserved winner. Never before have I seen four 180s on the trot like in one of the legs (earlier post from Farmer Jo). It was simply great.

     

    Bought some metal box-sections at the supply-shop on Thursday and will probably have to get some more to get the two kennels built. Drew up a detailed plan for the engineer/technician/welder. Should be ready in a couple of days.

     

    Good to see Poo and Robert are friends already. Not so sure about Oscar though. He has that funny look in his eye when a cat comes close.

     

    That's it, until later today.

     

    Good job there's no rain!!!! The cat is what done it!

    Bye y'all.

    Yes, Smith deserved it on the night, even though i'd money on Van Gerwen, grrrrrr.

    The 'O's don't get big crowds. If they get 10k it will be good.

     

    Shame on those Iron's supporters. WHU have nicked 000's down the years. They should get behind their neighbours.

     

    Orient for the Ch Lg in 4 years. Yea!!!!

    Finished 0-0. Really wanted Orient to win, can't stand that Stevenage manager, horrible specimen.
