Already told her that I'll stick with her no matter what.

My partner has quite a bit of gray hair, but she sees the hairdresser once a month for colouring.

I know a lot of Thai women suffer from hair loss, especially as they get older. My partner is now 60 and is getting quite thin on top and wonders if anything can be done or just accept the inevitable? I feel really sorry for her as hair loss is probably more traumatic for a woman than a man. This is not funny, so respectful replies please.

I suppose Aussie wines are no good either?

I know a pathetic comment when I see one.

You know when you're going to die? Pathetic comment.

Got to admit I used to love a big piss up, but now at my advanced age 2 beers is all I can manage without a hangover.

Do they have Cherry Ripe's?

Lazada can be a godsend no doubt. Not sure what I'm going to do with 3 spare kitchen taps though, all with new valves.

Would you believe Homepro doesn't carry those valves, obviously they want to sell you a whole new tap for 300 baht and up. So I bought another tap, this gives me 3 spares if I can find valves that fit.

I'm going to take it to Homepro tomorrow and try and find an exact match.

I haven't seen any ads that give thread length.

No, it's the ceramic plates inside that wear/fail.

I did buy the kits originally but it's nearly as cheap, and less fiddly, to buy the whole cartridge.

The two I got from China had a shorter thread and I couldn't get it to catch on the tap threads. I didn't want to force it and strip threads.

I have my doubts if they are actually ceramic, just looks like white plastic to me.

I don't think this type of valve (cartridge) is familiar to Thais in my area. Most of those types of taps are used in falang kitchens.

Well, they show no pitting or leaking in 14 years, so the quality has to be better than OK.

I begrudge throwing something away if it can be fixed cheaply and easily, in this case for a 50 baht valve.

I have American Standard taps in both bathrooms and neither have failed or drip in 14 years. I don't know if that is a premium brand, but they have performed faultlessly.

There doesn't seem to be a local supplier on Lazada, they all come from China, and delivery can be at least a week, so it probably means a trip to Home Pro. I have replaced the whole tap 3 times, so I have two (now 3) spare taps that only need valves.

I had two new ones that I'd bought from Lazada previously, but when I went to change it I found they wouldn't screw in, and the thread was much shorter than the original. Problem is the tap is now leaking like crazy, so waiting another week or so to be delivered from China is out of the question. The kitchen tap has a shut off valve under the sink, but of course it's frozen and won't move.

These kitchen tap valves are constantly failing and it seems the only place to find them is at major hardware stores like Thaiwatsadu or Homepro. These fit the standard U shape kitchen taps, so hardly rare, but tried 3 local hardware shops this morning, none have them. You'd think I was asking for a part for the space shuttle.

Didn't Liam Neeson just play a hitman with dementia?
