Given the very positive responses re SAD lamps I feel a bit of a party-pooping keyboard warrior writing this, but the truth is that most SAD lamps offer nothing more than a placebo effect (although there is nothing wrong with a placebo if it works for people).
There is actually a very limited...
I quite like it for a bit of escapism. And it's a nice touch the way they splice in real footage.
Mrs Bulb likes it and she's been fairly silent whilst watching. No interruptions, no questions, no having to explain anything. For that alone it gets a thumbs up from me!! (y)(y)
I've got an office in Bangkok so I'm there 4 or 5 Tims a year. Can't say I love the place tbh, especially the sleazier side of things. But each to their own I guess.
There is a very good speakeasy culture amongst the bars though. I recommend:

RDZ was great all the while teams didn't know how to play against us. Once they figured out all it took was a low-block we became a much easier team to play against.
We already know FH has a plan B (and a plan C), so that's already an upgrade on RDZ.
We'll find out how good FH really is later...
I wouldn't be surprised if at some point City come knocking for JPVH. Pep's 'rant' struck me as less 'sour-grapes' and more 'see how I could help improve your game'.
Psychological shrewdness perhaps.
We won’t become the next Chelsea. After the summer spending spree I think the plan will be to stick with who we have and consolidate for the next few windows.
So unless a youth team member breaks-through, the squad as a whole is probably the right size given we might in Europe next year…
Oh...
TBH, and (possibly controversially), I quite liked the philosophy Hyppia had. He played wingbacks a good press and passed out from the back. The problem he had was that we didn't have the squad to be able to play the way he wanted and he had no Plan B.
I've often wondered if he was just too...
