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.

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.

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!!!!!

Yeah real quality time

Tee hee...

Do what I do. 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.

Now ,all we have to do is keep awake !

And not have the Junta give a one sided story and tell us that Thailand have won the world cup

Now ,all we have to do is keep awake !

I have to agree it is the only sport in the world that puts people totally in a deep sleep

you cant watch a football match at home how boring you have to be in the pub with your mates cheering on your team and having a few beers to drown your sorrows or celebrate your win.

England v Italy 5 or 6 am kick off.

Just hope it's worth getting up for

6am is far less a problem than 3am.

The sun rise about 5:40am these days:

This indicates that they plan to impose the curfew a very very Long time. :(

Curfews come and go.....and so do soccer matches. Plus there's the replays.

Replays aren't the same.

Think you'll find they are exactly the same.
