  1. Yeah, also the lady in 'Keeping Up Appearances' recently passed. Such great comedy from times when English could laugh!
  2. I assure you I got a bit of a hit, it perhaps was more surprise than danger though.and I once got strong tingles from a boat that had half sank in water, from what was in the hull to the sea. I struggle to remember but maybe the boat had a number of 12v batteries in series so was 48 v. Seems unnecessary as 12v turns over my truck diesel engine! Try putting a 9v PP9 to your tongue and if you feel nothing, go see a doctor!
  3. Wouldn't expect a high voltage on board, not enough to kill someone. I have had a shock on a boat from 12 v, and it did actually give me a bit of a hit. Likely as I was stood half immersed in salt water at the time.
  4. My Mrs has said something positive about them, must be the extra couple of years I have on you! She said they actually weren't bad tippers when she used to work at a hotel as a cleaner......yup, surprised me too!
  5. What is the usual voltage aboard a yacht?
  6. So this creep has been hiding out, (next to a police station at that), since 2017 without a valid visa?
  7. Pedantic answer really, some do believe. Silly I know, what have I got in common with someone simply because he/she was born in the same month...unless my twin!
  8. You have an Extension that goes beyond the expiry date of your passport? I would get it transferred nevertheless.... old passport is cancelled and you are not able to show a current extension in the new one.
  9. You are exhibiting far too much experience there!
  10. She was holding the money, and one of the phones, for a now very pissed off boyfriend..
  11. Sometimes you are asked for a slip/letter from the embassy, sort of verifying the new passport. So I went to an agent and they took care of t, I think only for 500 baht more, (They had just taken a good bit of money for helping me get the passport).
  12. Yes I use that lady I think... she is very pleasant and sometimes hums music to you while working. But the one I think of is on the road between soi 7 and Klang, Grover Bespoke Taylor at the corner, and Ali Baba Indian restaurant.
  13. Ah well, maybe time to start planning ahead for next year then.
  14. Ah the old days in the 80s when a jet ski could take you and a passenger to a secluded cove for a tryst in the tropical sun and warm waters. I wonder if she ever found her way home!
  15. To be fair an Omega, if genuine, could well be worth that without it being gold and emblazoned with diamonds.. It is only 1500 USD. Strange to keep it in your handbag. Most one sees here are fake though.
  16. Doesn't seem to stop it happening. I think it is more about posturing than insurance scamming.
  17. Bloody cheek, Indians strutting around like Mafia taking jobs from the Thais!
  18. I wonder what the plan is when we get high speed trains. These old style crossings, many without barriers, are hardly suitable.
  19. According to the article it is also about schools reopening which isn't an October thing in Europe. Article is fluff.......
  20. Was the 'upbringing ' double entendre intentional as it is very good?
  21. Or in the case of a Katoey, handbag with brick inside must be at the ready!
  22. He rides the dog........ into the village!
  23. Can't relax on the bed in the afternoon heat without some dim goon gawping at you......
  24. He had better start his walk to the airport.
