For 'National Self-loathing', I would consider it more appropriate for the slogan, 'Away from Nationalism and Consideration for Humanity'.

But I am an unrepentant leftie.

Thank you very much.

To the two Canadians, and any other hidden hash-person in Udorn Thani town, the man to contact is Andy Grob, hash-name 'Mee Grob', who can be contacted on - 082 960 4061.
I now wonder whether the Hash Hose Harriers will be revived in Udon Thani. Hoping!

As far as I know there is, at present, only one active washer in Udon Thani - and he ain't me.
I have contacted him - hash-name 'Mee Grob' - and hope to give fuller details within a few days.

ON ON

Sad and angry today. But tomorrow will move forward

It is true that Mark Cavendish has now won more TdF stages than Eddy Merkx.
Congratulations are in order.

I do think that most people would agree that Eddy was a great, and possibly the greatest, all-rounder. And Cav is the greatest modern sprinter.

As what I suppose could be a lefty (certainly among the usual posters to this forum) there are a few bright spots from the most right-wing Labour Party ever managing to obliterate the Tories. These are (1) the election of Jeremy Corbyn, who has become one of FIVE independents in the House of Commons...

Good one.

For all of those who claim to be music fans, yesterday, Dickie Betts, of the Allman Brothers Band, passed away at the age of 80 years. A fair innings. He was living in Florida and was surrounded by all of his family. I am now listening to 'Live from Fillmore East'. This will continue all day. Vale D...

It is not often, if indeed ever, that I find anything that really moves me. But this is one of them.

Indeed, the whole concept of 'Playing.for Change' is to be commended.

As someone who was at Udorn Thani Immigration Ofiice in the morning of 7th February may I make a few observations. I have been using the Udon Immigation Office for less than seven years, so some might think me a newcomer. Last Wednesday ((7th February) was the first time that there appeared to be th...

As far as I am concerned 'Best Burgers' is an oxymoron.

A sad day for those who were young and hip in the 1960's.
Vale Melanie. What, indeed, have they done to our songs?

Tomorrow the South African action will be heard in The Hague. I am sure that all peace-lovers will wish them well. If anyone knows about apartheid none can know better than South Africa.

All lovers of the beautiful game should send commiserations. RIP.

I see that 'most people agree with Suella Braverman'(or Cruella Braverbitch). Obviously, this does not include the 300,000 (according to the police) or 800,000 (according to the organisers) who marched from Hyde Park to the American Embassy. at Nine Elms. Will the present Home Secretary last until n...

Dangerous breeds I fear. These animals are being sold for not measly sums of money in Udon.

Some must have been cross-bread and then abandoned in villages near to Bandung. The only answer is to neuter them, as most local vets will not put them out of their misery.

Thank you very much, Jack Spratt.

It will be quite a time before I am able to post anything myself, but that was my favourite moment from my favourite opera.

Leontyne Price - "O PatrIa Mia'

How is one able to attach a beloved song to this website?
