    It still remains an offer you can't refuse

    News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 31/07/2022

    » Francis Ford Coppola's epic film The Godfather has been celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, a frightening thought as I can recall queuing up to see it at a Bangkok cinema all those years ago. It was 1972, in the days long before multiplex cinemas emerged in Bangkok, so when a big film came out there would be massive queues at the theatre showing the blockbuster.

    Britain braces for invasion of bed bugs

    Roger Crutchley, Published on 22/10/2023

    » One English expression my wife often comes up with is "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite".

    » In the American game of baseball, the defending team must cover all bases; first, second and third. No matter how good and fast a player is, one person "can't cover all bases," as the expression goes. Cover one, and the ball would be hit to another.

    Social media is just one online habit hurting teens

    News, Published on 28/09/2023

Frightening how time flies.
