You could always try Jamacian Viagra. A mixture of Dorset Muesli, Guinness and milk. Google it if you don't believe me.

Found a 1080p version of the 1985 BBC series Edge of Darkness. Had a VHS copy for years, but picture quality totally naff. So much so it was pointless watching it. At the shooting scene at the beginning practically wore the tape out trying to freeze frame the image to see who the shooter was. Clear as day on the digital version! Music is by Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen. Great haunting guitar by EC. Remember him playing tracks from Edge of Darkness when he did his residency at the Royal Albert Hall in 1990 with Michael Kamen conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Stars Bob Peck, with a young Joanne Whalley as his daughter. Also Tim McInnerny, aka Captain Darling from Blackadder 4. With Joe Don Baker as the Amercian. (Trivial fact, Joe has played both a baddie and a goodie (x2) in 3 James Bond movies). That's my pre-movie experience for the next 6 days sorted.

UK not recommended due to all the floods.

Why do they call him Trigger? Does he carry a gun. Nah, it's because he looks like a horse.

@Highball is spot on with the home made video approach. Best ways to learn a language is Saturation Technique and Cognitive Recognition(CR). So for Saturation, include things like listening to English radio and watching the news, suggest something like Tim Newton Today (TNT) as only 10+ minutes daily, so if she watches Thai TV news bulletin then ties in with CR. When crash coursing a language for business, then living in the actual country is highly beneficial. (Not applicable in your case). Also watching Thai movies with English Subtitles. As a teenager learning French use to read Tintin, Lucky Luke and Astérix comics in French, so not just the basic "La plume de ma tante" you get in French text books. Improves vocabulary and also gives you a more conversational approach. For basic steps, start with numbers before alphabet, easy to relate to as Thai's use the same Arabic numbering system. Also she needs a basic Thai-English pocket sized dictionary. Another top-tip is fridge magnets letters or a white/black or cork board. Useful for leaving simple instructions which she can confirm back on. There use to be a book and course ( video) called English in 750 words, not sure if still exists, but was a big success in the London based language schools in the 80's / 90's.

Hello Dave.

It's my dyslexic spell checker. Most probably created by D Trotter Industries of Peckham.

Bum gun, luxury. When I was a lad, it was a squat toilet, ie a hole in the ground, with a bucket of water with a label for administrating the water. We use to dream of toilet paper.

If I don't recognise the number, then either answer in a foreign language, French, Spanish or Italian. Confuses them no end. Else put on my best DJ voice and say, "Hi, you're through to Bob live on air, go ahead caller...".

The French and Spanish are trying to get this changed as they've lost out big time with the Brit Retirees since Brexit. The EU doesn't move quick, so maybe in a couple of further years.

Just spent the last year watching every single Top Gear (240) episodes since the Jezza & Hamster relaunch in 2002 with Capt. Slow joining at the start of Season 2 (2003). Plus the complete The Grand Tour series (46 episodes). An episode a night before a movie. Interesting the early reports on EVs and especially on Hydrogen cars.

To me he was best as Doyle in The Professionals back in the mid '70s to early '80s. Having said that, on stage as Elvis Presley in Alan Bleasdale's "Are you Lonesome Tonight", he was absolutely brilliant.

Hilton King Exec Premium Ocean Front room, B&B rate will set you back 56,500 for 3 days. Sleeps 3, so you can bring an extra friend! Jacuzzi on the balcony overlooking the beach.

We only have a single night time security guard. Occasionally give him a packet of 20 B&H as a thankyou. He's very appreciated. Plenty of wai's.

To misquote Tom Cruise, "Show me the photo".
