DoctorB Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Panem et circenses Iam vero! Sed, cui bono et quis custodet custodies? (Indeed! But who benefits from all this and who is checking on our guards?) There is nothing new under the sun; Cicero had it all covered 2,000 years ago, and at least Caesar distinguished himself in battle before turning his army on his own people. Another quote our hosts may care to consider is, "Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius" - usually translated as "Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad". Clever chaps those Romans.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Good news. As the 'watch at home' option surely means that the junta will force all games to be on free to air TV. Because surely they know that the majority of the country doesn't have satellite TV and can't afford it. Right? Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Quality time with the family? Her. Tilac can you turn the TV down I can't sleep? Him. Hey shut up!! shut the door and stick a pillow over your head England are playing Her. You don't have to make so much noise Him.........Oh geez!!! you made me miss that goal......shut that effin door and go to your bed willya!!! Her: mumble mumble mumble.......Slam!!!!!

Buy one of those small transmitters and remote headphones - around 450 baht - and you can have the commentary as loud as you like with the TV sound on zero.

unclesiberia Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Curfews come and go.....and so do soccer matches. Plus there's the replays. Replays aren't the same. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Think you'll find they are exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
