Winning games by Sakon Nakhon FC have become a rarity.
Of 16 games played so far this year Sakon Nakhon had only one win, beating Nong Khai 1-0 in a home game

Mukdahan FC is in last place in the league.
Sakon Nakhon FC stands 2 points above Mukdahan is second to last in the league.
When the two teams met in May at Mukdahan, Sakon Nakhon lost 1-3

Illegal rosewood cutting on private property

Everybody in this hospital knows my name

Two days after surgery I was being served my first meal.  Up to now it was water only.
My upper dentures were nowhere to be found. Panic ensued. At least six nurses rummaged through my nightstand.  Then someone had the bright idea that they might have gone out with the morning laundry.
Nada.
The cleaning lady had seen a plastic bag on my nightstand and decided it was trash.  
So everybody up and down the hallways had a good laugh about that one
