I'm reminded of an incident in either 1960 or '61 when Everton came to the Boleyn to play West Ham. Pre match 'goalkeepers catching practice' and Roy Vernon ( Everton) let a thunderous shot go, it went wide and completely sparked out a poor guy standing in the front row of the crowd. So, his fault for standing there or Vernon's fault for kicking the ball wide? I'm sure if the guy's mates had told him not to stand there he would have considered them ayholes too.

Thanks guys, I'll investigate the Rungart and Lanko products. Thanks also Gsxrnz, but I don't want to repair , although there is a different texture on the more recent rendering, I want to do the whole wall to a smooth finish.

We had an internal window removed and the opening blocked up, then the sand/cement render applied. Unfortunately it's very obvious where the window used to be. In the past in the U.K I've skimmed ceilings and walls, always (except once) using 'Thistle Multi-Finish'. The one time I used Knauf plaster was a disaster and I ended up skimming over the skim with the Multi-Finish. Does anyone have any knowledge of what to use here for skimming and how to 'finish' it satisfactorily? That was the problem for me with the Knauf plaster....it didn't have the same finish method as the Multi-Finish. Global House, Thai Watsadu and HomePro are all within 25km if someone can point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance.

Because it wasn't about George Best, who was possibly the biggest name in British Soccer. Anyhow, here's what google says about him....just compare that with what the star players get now. 'At the peak of his career in the late 60s, George was earning around $150 thousand per year which is the same as around $1 million per year from salary and endorsements, after adjusting for inflation'. I reckon George Best and maybe one or two more were the 'isolated cases'.

There was a wage cap of £20 a week in British Soccer until 1961 and the then English captain, Johnny Haynes, was the first to hit £100 a week, probably a tidy sum back then. This footballer is 77 now so would have been playing after the wage cap was lifted but although Coventry City were a First Division team back in 1967 (no Premiership back then) he wasn't a star name and Shrewsbury Town were minnows. So, the idea that as an ex Pro Footballer he should be 'cashed up' and 'something fishy' is afoot is wrong. He may well be 'cashed up' but if he is it didn't come from his footballing talent.

Man takes found wallet to police station. Policeman takes wallet into another room, phones his wife, girlfriend, tells her the id of the owner, coaches her on what to say when she arrives at the police station and they pocket the 6000baht. Not a regular scam just a lucky break for the cop on duty. Ha ha ha, well, it's a theory anyway.
