@Ajarncom 36 next month. It does say a lot about modern football,that in most teams the captain is just whoever wears the arm band on the day. There are no real leaders anymore. Coached out of them early on? or just worn out by mid 20's due to the now extreme physical nature of the game?

@Erik_Hamre @ericson4smith @ThaiKruTravel Over 30,000 Thai nationals work in Israel. They replaced the palestinians in agricultural work. Hence favourable visa terms for Israelis

@ericson4smith @ThaiKruTravel I see they didn't want to anger their american friends by restricting Israel.

🇹🇭More official news on Thailand's 30 day Visa expiration from @ThaiKruTravel
This is going to be the new Visa Exemption scheme. India completely destroyed - now only 15 day visa on Arrival. China has special arrangements for 30 days. Jamaica gone. 😭

@Ajarncom I have followed Warwickshire for a long time. Rohan Kanhai is 91 this year.
English

Very sad news. I got so much enjoyment watching that Warwickshire team in the late 70s.
Amiss, Jameson, Kallicharran, MJK Smith, Rohan Kanhai... what a batting top order that was.
RiP Mike.
Test Match Special@bbctms
Former Warwickshire and England captain Mike Smith, known throughout the game as MJK, has died at the age of 92.

Welcome to another 'You Be The Judge' (travel edition)
The situation -
When Tun and I are standing at an idyllic beauty spot, taking photos of each other, a kindly stranger will offer to take the phone and take a snap of us both together.
Tun always does that little Thai curtsy and says "ooh thank you" - because she's too nice to say no.
I always say "naa, it's ok thanks" and sharply turn away. I don't want you dropping my phone in the river and I don't want to have to delete your 30 shit photos.
Tun says that by saying no, I am hurting people's feelings but I say give it to people like a pear cider made with real pears.
Who is in the right?
And before you cast your judgment, I'm aware that Tun is a much nicer person than I am.

@bangkok_pat @Ajarncom I just returned from a 5 week visit,and am thinking of a 10 week visit same time next year,maybe a shorter visit in Nov as well. I will just look at what visa I need to apply for.

@Ajarncom Hundreds of comments by idiots claiming they had planned trips for over 30 days but now they'll be "taking their money to Vietnam"
These are the same idiots who 6 months ago said ending the 60 day visa was the ONLY solution to "too many Indians in Pattaya"

@jesperbkk His tenth appearance for Villa automatically triggers his £30 million transfer. That is why he is stuck on nine. Obviously Villa decided they did not want him.
English

This is a bit bizarre isn’t it? Poor kid. Hope he comes back and we include him in the first team asap

@clashreport The act of giving a gift is in itself the important part. There is no intention that your house or office should have these gifts all over the place.When I receive birthday gifts from family,I thank them,and on the way out,put them in the bin😆
English

Before boarding Air Force One to leave Beijing, the entire U.S. delegation dumped every item given to them by Chinese hosts — gifts, badges, pins, commemorative items — into a trash bin on site.
Nothing of Chinese origin got on the plane.
The delegation had already left personal devices at home and used clean burner phones throughout the trip.

@SuzieWo20886208 @BeckettUnite He owns the beach which the RNLI launch their boats across. Collects payment for that I read.

@BeckettUnite He owns the land you walk upon.
He gave his son Loch Lomond and the surrounding countryside as a gift recently.

@VinnieSull1van Don't forget the lotto addict who has endless draws to be checked.Then the odd scratch card winnings. Then the purchases. One of each card,and endless lucky dips etc. Oh and their basket of shopping.

Drunk mum, 33, attacks TUI cabin crew in 90-minute brandy rampage on flight to Cuba
Zoe Alexander became aggressive six hours into the Manchester-to-Cuba flight after downing brandy and demanding more “to knock herself out”.
She verbally abused passengers and crew, called a female attendant a “fing bh c***”, kicked out at staff, punched a male crew member in the stomach, pulled off his tie, bit crew and passengers, and tried to light a cigarette.
During the chaos she told a passenger trying to help: “I hope bad things happen to your children. I hope they die.”
Crew used a restraint kit to control her until landing; Cuban police escorted her off the plane.
At Manchester Crown Court she pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft and three counts of assault by beating.
She was given a five-month sentence suspended for 18 months, banned from leaving the UK for 12 months, plus alcohol monitoring, rehab and £75 compensation to each victim.

@onthemove555 Trouble is that the yanks want NFL ticket,transport,and concession (stadium food etc) prices. Not only for the World Cup but also the Premiership.Your right tho! A lot of games will be meaningless to the vast majority of people.
English

@DavidWi46280550 Exactly. Absolutely brutal. Who the fcuk wants to watch Czech Republic vs South Africa. I predict some of these stadiums will be half empty.

The world cup kick off times are absolutely honking if you live in #Thailand added to that the dilution of quality with shite 3rd world teams. My interest is somewhere between 0 and 0.01%. #thaitwitter
