owl sees all

Shouldn't have read the 'head'line. But I did, and now I've split me cuppa rosy. But on a less serious note. Why is the OP referring to him as she?

If someone was convicted on ''trumped up - political motivated'' charges, wouldn't they be fighting to clear their name, rather than crawling on the floor, asking for clemency?

Or picking mushrooms. Or ticking a 'yes'!

Surely a pardon is not a matter of a handshake?!

Get off yer knees Mr Thaksin. Do yer time like a man.

If I may Chris, could I ask you to take a look at Dr Mark Bailey's paper: ''Farewell to Virology.'' It's a bit of a slog being nearly 30,000 words. But there is a film about to be released.

I dispute it.

A little ditty ''''Whether on the right or the left blind, sad, or just plain deaf. Covid is coming for us all soon only safe place - it seems - is on the moon. But until that time arrives Let us all, live and thrive. And shout out to those that can still hear oigh bud - yes you - go buy the beer.'''' Get a move on Muskie. A covid varient is coming for us.

Dear me! You buy them by the 100? When I go out I can usually find a couple of discarded masks. Used to be loads of blue/white ones, but now they are outnumbered by the black ones. If they are not broken, or too grubby, I wash them in the dog bowl and, hang them in the sun. A day or so later they are good to go.

There must be more to Wednesday's poor start than the owner being a balloon. What has changed on the pitch since last season?

Used Key to renew my UK Passport. Returned to me this month. 7 week turn-round. Excellent service. Can't remark, first hand, on the visa situations.

Agreed! Still can't make up my mind who was actually pulling the strings on it all. Certainly had nothing to do with people's health or well-being.

I simply do not agree with you on this. Firstly you are saying that one person can infect another. Secondly you assert that knowledge of 'transmission' (of something or other) has been known for thousands of years. The first has not been proven at any time. Since 1954 (Enders and Peebles), many well funded, groups have tried, but not shown it is possible. The latter point is simply not true.

Good guess Owl. Jimmy Hill did come on to replace an injured linesman, but not at The Cottage. It was the Arsenal v Liverpool match in 1972. Didn't wear shorts though. Twenty plus attempts at goal last evening against Mansfield. Better.! Don't matter about penalties. Have to concentrate on getting a win at the w/e now. Just looked. Away at Elland Road.

You are forgiven Andy. On 26th December (Boxing day) in 1963;;,; Leeds 1 - Sunderland 1 Return fixture two days later on 28th;;; Sunderland 2 - Leeds 0 But!!!! Peacocks went up to the top flight that season (63/64) as champions.

Close. But if it helps; two days later the return fixture went 4-2 to Ipswich. Didn't help them though. Went down that season. Just two seasons after they were champions.

Ah yes!! The Kursal. Did you ever see Southend United play there? I think they were called Southend on Sea back then I took the A13 route, when I went. Bread and Cheese Hill and all that. Along by the cockle fields. Anyway; come on you cottagers!! And talking about Fulham;; a quiz question. On Boxing Day 1963, Fulham beat Ipswich 10–1. The match was also notable for what? a/ The Thames had a particularly high tide and water was breaching the 'Riverside stand'. b/ A hat-trick was scored in record time. c/ Jimmy Hill - TV pundit - came on as linesman after the original official twisted his ankle and went off. d/ Match was going to be abandoned due to a floodlight failure 10 minutes from the end. The game was stopped for 6 minutes before the lights returned. Note: The floodlights had only been installed 4 months earlier. e/ Nine goals scored in the second half. 2-0 at half time. Answers on a postcard please.

Been there a few times for different people. The old FinL and Umm. Wife's younger brother's wife, when she fell off her m/c. they have a decent food place just behind the main building. Cheap and simple. Climbed up on the roof one visit. Took some pics of the park. I'll try to find them among the flash drives, Try to see to it that I don't have to go to see any medical people. Do self diagnosis and self help. Don't like dentists either. So far so good. 6k baht not too much. A bargain I reckon.

That's some bike ride Garry. Cracking pics. Thanks for sharing. The - now gone (left) - poster, Bluesofa, did some long bike rides like you. He told me he cycled to Phen and back from South Udon. That's a fair way. I once cycled from Dagenham to Southend-on-sea, and back. About 70 miles. A long time ago that. When i was in my 20s.

Me too.

If I can get the two big farms - that's number one, 31 rai, and number two, 18 rai, signed over to Mildred, I'll be reasonably happy with that. My fear is that if I pop off - although I've got no suicidal thoughts, as far as I know - Mildred will get precious little. rai

There is what I call G7. G is the 7th letter of the alphabet. what does 'G' represent in terms of good health? Garlic Ginseng Ginger I'm sure they cannot help with the 'virus', but a portion of each, every day, will keep the Reaper away. For a bit longer anyway.

The thread is about lockdowns. A virus - or lack of one - has direct connections to the topic. It's why we were told to wear masks.. Why we were told to be 2 meters apart. Why we were locked down. But did man walk on the moon? A great new topic. What yer reckon; in the pub? Can bring in all the other mysteries. 9/11. Dr Kelly, Titanic hoax. Princess Di, JFK. I'll start the tread tomorrow. Will be informative; and great dun.

I don't agree with you or ScientificAmerican. They and you are wrong.

Indeed! The quorumdum there is that the wife's bill is in fact mine to pay. Did have an inquiry about one of the farms today. Seems genuine enough. Yes!! It has come to that. Selling one of the beautiful farms to pay the wife's debts off.
