UV filters do work although the lamps can be very expensive and will require replacing after a set period, ususally the manufacturers recommendations work out about yearly. May I suggest a bio filter. Easy enough to make and essential for healthy water. First and foremost the filter, with the aid of bacteria, convert the fish waste into more managable nitrates. Depending on the size and quantity of fish the waste may end up killing the fish, I had that happen some time ago. The nitrates will encourage more algae but you can balance that by puttting other plants in the water that can make use of those nitrates which will then deprive the algae. It is a question of balance. Filtering out solids is purely secondary.

If you Google DIY pond bio filter you will find any number of sites detailing the subject although this one might get you started.

My pond is 1m deep and 11000 litres and I can just see the bottom which is clear enough for me. The filter is a bit on the small side being a 350l tank with a venturi added to increase oxygen to the filter tank but it does well enough for what I want. Tanks and media are readily available around town. No UV filter required. Any questions just PM me.

Or Home Pro 4k up.

Still have my Uk amateur and maritime license the latter totally redundant these days tho.

The BBC booms in on 6195Khz from about 4 or 5 in the afternoon otherwise 17790Khz.

I cannot remember the last time I was on a ship that used morse/Teletype/RT, there wont be any land stations left to handle Morse and I doubt many that will handle Teletype.

Commercial marine HF finished in 1999. It's all satellite now.

The move to satellite started late early 80's with Sat A and ships radio rooms were replaced with GMDSS radio equipment in the early 90's. Commercial traffic may have finished in '99, however, various countries /organisations still required ship reporting on HF teletype for some time after that. I wouldn't like to say ''all'' traffic had finished as there will bound to be one oddball somewhere to prove me wrong.

This outfit does the old Caribean at 790B a day

Whip round for a new ticket machine for them?

Well, it did break down the other morning when I was in there and they had to start hand writing ticket numbers after a few minutes of operation. I guess it has not been fixed. Must be on their ''to do'' list.

Yontrakit sell Kia, Skoda, Pugs and Citroens. They are on the superhighway heading out of town on the left. 18 46 42 21N 99 01 40 49E will take you to their front door. You can see the place on Google earth Street View.

An Old friend of my wife has told me that Suan Dok hospital will take anyones old spectacles. Thanks to those that gave a credible alternative.

I'd ride it.

If they get the Chinese involved and monitor quality control carefully, it can be splendid. The one out of Shanghai was very pleasant to ride and did get up to around 250 or so.

For maglev they'll be laying all new track, though if that's what they're doing.

The one from Shanghai to Suzhou does around 320kph, very smooth and with plenty of room. The railway station as you know is more like a very good airport terminal. The Maglev from the airport into town is capable of over 400kph. Very impressive.

You wont hear much from the larger ocean going ships anymore as they went to satellite a good many years ago and increasingly they are using satellite based internet due to the costs saving as every Tom, Dick and Harry who makes coffee in the office empire wants a say in the way the ship is run. I cannot remember the last time I was on a ship that used morse/Teletype/RT, there wont be any land stations left to handle Morse and I doubt many that will handle Teletype. If you are on the coast near Sri Racha/MapTha Put you may hear some of the tankers on VHF but if they are on a regular run they are more likely to use a mobile.

I read a study that stated that these eyeglass redistribution organizations spend double what it would cost just to buy the recipients new glasses.

Thank you for taking the time out from your busy day to let me know that you do not know either.

Does anyone know if there is any charity collection points in town for old spectacles?

GPS works as well here as anywhere. Whether one in a rental car will be as useful and as easy to operate as one that you own, with your own map, only you can answer. Not too far away in Umphang is Tee Lor Su, you can google the name for details. There may be no access to the waterfall at present because of the weather, I believe it is closed off during part of the rainy season each year to traffic, otherwise its a 9km(?) hike. Just depends on when you are intending to visit.

Be aware that Umpang is an 8-9 hour drive from Chiang Mai not exactly near the temple.

Whoops, speed reading can lead you into trouble cannt it. Nope it aint anywhere near the temple is it, as you rightly say. Not 9 hours either, at least not when I last drove it unless the roads have deteriorated. My apologies Dfsbrit this one is worth it but too far away for you probably. Next best thing will be Doi Inthanon about 60km south of town, the tallest mountain in the country and that has a few waterfalls, not near the temple either but within easy reach

Just been having a clear out and found a box of 4 Splitfire triple platinum TP416D plugs. They are used, probably around 10,000km or less but as I don't have any vehicles or bikes that use this plug any more they will be binned. Unless of course anyone wants them. Always controversial during their manufacture, some swore by them others swore at them. I always found a noticeable increase in performance from the general plugs available here. You want them, they're yours to take away.

Now, If I can stop messing around with monkey bikes and buy something large enough to justify wearing the leather hahaha

in due time. I would eventually like to get a VMAX. Key word eventually. I'm sure a CBR 150 will be along the way. I'm more of a cruiser-style. I also like the Boulevards. I'll settle for a Shadow or V-Star along the way.

Had a VMAX for 10 years, sold it on a couple of years ago, there are a few of the original types around.

British press make no mention of food in the same sentence as poisoning. They also report Police suspect poisoning without any mention of food.

An oversized A/C is pointless, it will cut off when the temperature has reached its setting, before the humidity, which is what causes the disconfort, has been removed.

Yes, a good point indeed and when you go to Siam TV/Homepro their calcs to determine the required BTU for the area work out around double that of US and Australian government websites - check out www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=roomac.pr_properly_sized

Cheers

You did notice that energystar calculate in square feet. Also in general the US is a lot cooler than here in summer and thus we need larger here to maintain the same temperature.

Yep - did the calc to sqm. If you google it you will find other sites with similar calc results. Also, there is a thread somewhere here on TV that I read recently and many seem to be of the opinion that local calcs are well oversized. Bigger may not necessarily better in this case

The calculator I prefer is lengthxbreadthxheight/2 (in metres) giving the answer in BTU. Humidity is not much of a problem as aircons (maybe not all) come with an air dry function and sometimes that is all thats needed. One problem of buying one too oversized for the room means the compressor is starting and stopping too often similarly one too small runs all the time and even then may not cool the room down sufficiently. Both cases are undesirable. A motors start current is roughly 6 times its running current and requires a set amount of run time to allow it to cool down and obviously one that is running constantly will wear out quicker. Whether a compressor cycling quickly will add much to a lecky bill is, I guess, open to debate.

I have had Daikin / Toshiba and Mitsubishi for years and never had a problem with any of them, If it is for an upstairs bedroom do not mount the compressor unit on a steel frame as that can make even the quietest unit sound noisy. Get a concrete plinth fitted. Much quieter. As Greenside says, you not hear the compressor kick in.

Dragon air, part of Cathay is starting flights to CNX from July I believe.

A regular run for the passt 20 odd years. I will P.M. you in a while.

Why PM, is it a secret ?

Totster

It is hardly a secret but there is a bit of writing and one does not want to clog the page up with something most people will not want to know. However if you have signed the Official Secrets Act 1948 ammended the I will be happy to send you a copy!

No idea what the model no. Is, it is a basic slide phone. It does not get used on the internet and it never happened with her Nokia, the only thing that's changed is the phone.
