Hello Possums,

Sorry to leave you for a week or so, I had to do the annual Visa run to Perth (W.A.).

The nights were a tad chilly to start with (7 degrees) on the Sunday when I left the max was 30

I came home with a huge dose of Bronchhitis, Laryngitis, Tonsillitis and every other plurry "Itis". Aeroplanes are travelling viral infections as far as I'm concerned.

I can hardly croak let alone shout for the "Mighty Tranmere" (and I'm not entering into any discussion re the Forest game Chavy )

Time for another Whisky & Hot Lemon

"Young Turks"..Rod Stewart

.

"Caravan To Baghdad"........Hamid Baroudi

I set the alarm clock and was up to watch the boys on Thai Ch 3 with sound wound down. As I got back to Phuket with the worst dose of Bronchhitis, Laryngitis & Tonsillitis after a week in Oz, it wasn't too difficult to fall out of bed as I was coughing half the night anyway.

Very happy to see the young lads do the business, and whilst it wasn't the prettiest game of football I've ever watched, there were some good patches and a good healthy appetite for hard work by most of the lads.

Rooney was powering about everywhere and was M O T M for me, Ronaldo was strutting his stuff, and Tevez was a force to be reckoned with. Vidic who was given the Captain's armband after the interval must be one of Fergies Best defensive aquisitions in recent years, he linked up well with Piquet giving him support and encouragement. Another young boy coming along well is Danny Simpson, another year or 2 of experience and maturity and he'll be the perfect replacement for Neville. Pity Kiev tried just to play a defensive game, they were still outplayed and should have been instructed to just play their natural game.

Anyway I reckon we've got the right mix and depth of squad to go all the way, now it's just up to the planets all aligning correctly, and a few other spiritual factors.

There were a few cases reported around the Thalang area of Phuket, in fact my wife's old school teacher died of it about 6 - 8 weeks ago. (apparantly left it too late to go the Doctor, thought she had a cold or the Flu, she was also fairly elderly I believe)

Local Or-Bor-Tor have been round a couple of times since, spraying like crazy, but the little buggers still thrive. (and yes dengue fever is seasonal by all reports)
