Not a two day thrashing as bad light stops play with Australia on 241-7, 90 runs behind. But it will be over fairly quickly tomorrow I would expect.

Oops, spoke too soon, 144-4. Could be a 2 day test!

England declared at 391-9, a lead of 331. And what a difference a day makes. Yesterday Aussies all out for 60, today going nicely at 101-0

Coss, Australia might bowl England out tomorrow for another 50 runs, but if not then England will eventually declare (they have to) perhaps when they reach 400 (a 340 lead). Australia have to bat again or else as Dumsoda says it'll be a draw. A draw is no good as if Australia then win the last test and draw the series they retain The Ashes. Anyway if England were to declare at 400 there is little chance of the Aussies scoring 340.

Mona Lisa (1986) Starring: Bob Hoskins, Kathy Tyson, Michael Caine, Robbie Coltrane IMDB - "George has just been released from prison, and manages to get a job driving a call girl from customer to customer. Initially they don't get on; he doesn't fit in with the high class customers Simone services. Will they ever get on?" Thought I would have seen it before but apparently not! An oldie but a goldie.

Close of play day 1. Australia 60 all out! England 274-4

4th Test. Trent Bridge. Day 1. England win the toss and elect to field. 4-1 (Rogers 0) 10-2 (Smith 4) 10-3 (Warner 0) 15-4 (Shaun Marsh 0) 21-5 (Voges 1) 29-6 (Clarke 10) 33-7 (Nevill 2) 46-8 (Starc 1) 47-9 (Johnson 13) 60-10 (Lyon 9) Australia all out for 60!! in 18.3 overs. Broad 8-15!! At time of posting England were 61-2 in reply. "18.3 overs is the quickest any team has ever been bowled out in the first innings of a Test match."

QPP! I assume you're referring to the Imperial Queens Park and not Queens Park Plaza?!

As I haven't been in LOS since early January 2015 and, because I tend to spend quite a lot of time on this soi, I was just wondering what's happening on Soi 22? Last time I was there both the restaurants on the ground floor of The Regency Park Hotel (Cheers and Som's) were closed. Has anything new opened up? Also the Citrus Hotel was still closed. Has it reopened? Has any construction work started on the old Washington Square site? Have any new bars opened?

Moonlighting (1982) Starring: Jeremy Irons, some Polish blokes IMDB - "A Polish contractor, Nowak, leads a group of workmen to London so they can provide cheap labor for a government official based there. Nowak (Irons) has to manage the project and the men as they encounter the tempations of the West and loneliness and separation from their families. Nowak is the only one of the group who speaks English, and he uses this as a tool over his team. When the unrest in Poland leads to a military takeover, Nowak is faced with a much more difficult situation than he expected." I was surprised by this film, as I really enjoyed it!

Geez, American humour (is that an oxymoron?)?!

The what?

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop. Looks a little different than 8.1 but so far no issues.

I love Mekong.

It was grey, very dusty, unfriendly, few expats to mingle with, no decent bread, had to go to Taipei to get any western staples.

I lived in Tainan City (north of Kaohsiung) from early October 1991 to late February 1992. I was very glad that my stay turned out to be so short and my employers transferred me to their Bangkok office.

Thanks. So I'm thinking about Soi 22 and those two schools opposite each other about a third (?) of the way up the soi. 300m either side of them will, according to this law, be booze free and although Queens Park Plaza will be safe there must be quite a few small bars and restaurants within that catchment? If I was in Bkk I'd get my ruler out and check.

No, no, no. She's got goblin ears, not elf ears.

I don't recall seeing Kati3cat in any of the Lord of the Rings trilogy?

Where will the distance of 300m be measured from? From the front entrance of the school/uni would seem logical as that is where the students enter and exit from. But what about measuring the 300m from the closest point of the boundary of the school/uni? I mean a bar could be 500m away from the entrance but only 100m away from the boundary? No doubt this won't be clarified.

Thanks, donations are welcome.

"As written and enacted under the military government’s special “Section 44†powers, the ban is for all alcohol sales – shopping malls, pubs, restaurants and everything – within 300 meters of schools. The only exemptions are for registered hotels and government-designated entertainment zones such as Patpong, Royal City Avenue-upper Thonglor, and that stretch of big box clubs on Ratchadapisek Road.

Rush 1991 IMDB - "Two small-town Texas cops go undercover to catch a major drug dealer and are sucked into the drug culture, compromising their assignment." Stars: Jason Patric, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sam Elliott Have to say I thought this was very good.

I read this somewhere else yesterday. Another ridiculous Thai law, surely it won't actually happen, there are schools everywhere! PS What school is within 300m of Cowboy?

What if the cloud storing your data was somewhere over St. Andrews yesterday, where the fuck would it be now? Norway?
