In Topic: Thailand Needs Cricket

Yesterday, 22:48

Further to my comment on the only slightly understood cricket "Offside Rule", it might be beneficial to introduce newcomers to a few of the technical, sporting terms applied to cricket. For instance, how many of us clearly understand the deeper meaning of "bowling a maiden over". And what's more, who could clearly explain the oft used phrase "batting for the other side".

These terms, whilst being common parlance amongst the cricketing fraternity, could well lead to confusion. I think we need some guidance here.

Over to you, Trevor.

What could be a helpful and, indeed, gracious welcome to those readers not entirely familiar with this, the king of games, but obviously eager to learn and perhaps participate, would be a simple but thorough explanation of the Offside Rule.

You've got to start somewhere..........

I still haven't been to Makro! Am I missing out?!

Yup; best fruit and veg' selection of any of the Supermarkets and reasonable prices. Meat there takes a lot of beating too.

I must admit that I've seldom, (if ever), had the urge to beat the meat in any of these big stores. Am I missing out on something good?

In Topic: Stick With Sterling Or Change To Baht?

Well, up to now, some interesting perspectives and suggestions, all of which I will consider. The reason for my original post was to gather opinions, because every now and then, someone comes up with something quite brilliant that had simply not occurred to me. Thanks, guys, for your input thus far. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

Understand that I am one of those financial retards who really needs honesty. I come from a time when I believed that banks and politicians were trustworthy. Now I begin to understand the necessity for advanced knowledge, healthy scepticism......and cunning.
