200 ? That's one hell of a lot of squats. Even when young and very fit in the army, I couldn't have managed that many in a single session. I'm all for teachers and parents using discipline, but that many squats is ridiculous. No wonder it caused injury.

Being that NI is part of the UK, then yes it is. I think what you mean is "Will it spread to the mainland?"

Ask any red-blooded male if they'd like to take Imane for a romantic candlelit dinner, followed by a slow hand in hand stroll through the park. Their replies should be a good acid test.

I caught it for the first time last month. It put me on my back for over a week, so if it's the non-severe version of Covid, I'm glad I avoided the main event. It was easily as bad as the worst case of flue I've had in the UK. I very rarely go out and think I caught it from a young girl who brought it into our house from school. My wife caught it too and suffered just like me.

What happened to "Have a gay day!" ? Now they've bagged a month! Right - Happy Veterans Month!

"Upon arrival, officers encountered 22 male individuals claiming to be of Cambodian, Burmese and Karen ethnic origin." "Ibiza rejects and Nazis"? I didn't realise that Ibiza was such a big draw for Cambodians, Burmese and karen Nazi tourists.

Correct. It won't be long before some foreign drunken guy is going to be kicked to death for saying or doing something fairly trivial against a local. They were using that guys head as a football.

I recovered from Covid about two weeks back. I wouldn't describe it as unusually mild, it was easily as severe as my worst dose of flu in the UK. Temperature, headache, sore throat, raking cough, shortness of breath and aching joints. Laid me out for about 10 days, wasn't able to do any work around the house. Was either laid on the bed trying to read, or sitting at my computer (didn't have much enthusiasm to do either). Never been so pleased to see the back of an illness. I don't know how long my natural immunity will last, but I'll certainly be looking to have a jab at the start of the next wet season. I wouldn't like to have to go through the experience again.

Well I've just recovered from it and it put me on my back for about 10 days. Easily as bad as the worst dose of flu I've had. If I hadn't been retired, I'd have had to have taken that time off work. There may be "hysteria", but it's reducing the country's work force while it rages on. I managed to survive through the previous epidemics (I had 3 jabs), but it got me this time.

Thought for an awful moment that Lammy had been made Chief of the Defence Staff !

I lived and worked in Delhi for four years and once outside the compound where I lived, it was constant stress. I ended up only going out if absolutely necessary. Also the "curry run" between there and the UK was a nightmare especially when you had to use the toilet. When my tour was up it was a blessed relief. I vowed never to visit there again. Unfortunately it has come to me, both in the UK and Thailand.

Depends on the office. Jomtien only require you to report in after you've been out of the country. However, your first 90 day report after being out of province will have to be done in person, they won't process it online. This was my experience a few months back when I had a short break in Ayutthaya. However, as I say, it depends on the office. Best phone them.

This isn't the west madam, you won't be indulged here like you would over there.

Same here. It was brought into the house by a little girl who visited a few times after attending school for the day. The wife and I rarely go anywhere. I live 30 minutes outside of Pattaya. My Covid was easily as bad as the worst bout of flu I've ever had and the symptoms were more or less identical.

Ask the Iranian "Banana Man". I've lost count of the times he's been arrested for displaying a sign saying "Hamas are Terrorists". Maybe the BBC complained.

You seen a citizen journalist videoing in Manchester these days? They all go to Liverpool for a break.

You forgot "commies". I'm a Scouser by the way.

They can make up as many fancy names and initials for this lad's condition, but in my book, any 12 year old who stabs another to death is just bad. All I wanted to do at 12 was to play football.

"Do you know who I am?" "Yes. You're that crazy Swiss guy who kicked a lady in the back for sitting down. Watch your fingers!" KLANG. If only! As expected, the coward has done a runner.

Further right the better as far as I'm concerned, but I've seen nothing to convince me that this country is far right. I'm convinced the UK id far left, but I think Thailand is slightly right-leaning at most.

Translation: "America is on a clear way to not being able to rely on votes from illegal immigrants".

She'll be promoting Thailand's soft power to the UK's soft in the head PM.

James "Do you know who I am?" Corden, so-called actor and all-round nasty basket. Still, as London Mayor, he has to be an improvement on the present incumbent. At least Corden's English.

Picked up my first bout of Covid over a week ago and it has laid me low. I'm at the rasping cough coupled with nausea stage now and am unable to do much except sit around feeling sorry for myself. This is not a disease you can ignore like a common cold, it's actually serious. My infection is easily on a par with my worst ever dose of flu which I had about thirty years ago and remember well. At 80 yoa, I'm quite concerned about the cough which shakes me to my foundations and goes on for quite a while. I'm normally a very fit guy. I too used to mock people for making a big thing about Covid, I certainly won't do so again.

Despite dodging the previous outbreaks, the dreaded Covid has finally found out where I live! I've been hit by it for about three days now and it's a right beggar. I'm at the throat on fire and heavy coughing stage now, having been through high temperature, headaches and sore joints. It's easily as bad as any of the worst bouts of flu I had in the UK. I can't grumble though, I've dodged it for years and it's the first real illness I've had in a long time. Sampling the disease, I'd hesitate to call it nonsense.
