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?

I am convinced that Thaksin will not be unduly inconvenienced, but as this is a public forum I will leave it at that. I am also not surprised, but still consider it to be a travesty of all forms of democratic government, that we now have a new government that is in bed with two 'uncle' parties. Obvi...

On the day - the best team won. Speed and bruit force versus impeccable football skills.
A great final. Congratulations to both teams.

The guilty one is obviously 'The Sun' rag.

Kang, Keng, Kong, Kung. What's the problem

Another heroine bites the dust.

From the Marat-Sade to Morecambe and Wise and then individual Lear.

And with a long spell as an MP, whose denigration of Thatcher was up there with all her theatrical performances - but she really meant it.

RIP

It's been a bad week as various heroes have passed away. RIP Anna May.

I assume that one is allowed to congratulate the Move Forward Party for their comprehensive win in yesterday's election.

One hopes that the times are changing.

Semperfiguy.

Thanks for your recommendation - your wife's problem was much the same as mine is now.

A month or so back I was at the military hospital with an ear problem, and have nothing but praise for their service.
