The rarely used aircon in the lounge won't turn off. The compressor does but not the cassette or whatever it's called that has the fan inside the room. The technician says it needs a new control board or something that costs around 3000 baht. Does that seem about right? He replaced something that sounds like a capacitor and regassed the compressor and replaced a globe that lights up when the aircon is running for 1400 baht.

Me. It's better than navel contemplation.

Was that a Panasonic Professional Display model starting with TH

 Panasonic Professional went through a period of asking their engineers to design monitors without cost restraints placed on them 

all models were designed without a built in tuner

early models around 2000 started at approx £6,000 for 42" models

It was a Panasonic, couldn't tell you the model #. This was in Australia over 25 years ago. In fact I still have a Panasonic plasma 50" that I bought when I arrived in Thailand 14 years ago. Never gets used though.

To think I paid around 120,000 baht for my first 42" plasma TV, and had to buy a digital tuner separately.

The story is vague and misleading. You can see in the video it's a machete he attacks with. The guy was waiting behind the car to pounce.

It was a Samurai sword.

Enjoyed episode 1.

In Parish, Esposito stars as Gracian “Gray” Parish, a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans. After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gray on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate.

 

 

Not for me. I found it to be totally formulaic, bordering on boring.

The phrase 'Cry Wolf' is used to indicate that someone is exaggerating or raising a false alarm. Example of Use: “Don't pay attention to Peter (Bob); he's only crying wolf.”

You realize that "crying wolf" only works once?

Hate to have my hopes dashed like that. That's so cruel Bob.

I see you didn't respond to the fact that you spend all day here, so how exciting is your life? 

Lousy Carter. This is pretty funny, but only for those with a wry sense of humour.

Have a friend in Adelaide who says the dream of owning a home for first home buyers has become out of reach. They are looking at prices starting at around $500,000 and up, median price is $850,000. Sydney and Melbourne even higher.

Always been a music lover, had a big collection of both CD's and vinyl before I left Australia 14 years ago. Until recently used to listen to free music on apps like Radio Paradise, Jango and Accu radio, but now, at nearly 82 I find I prefer peace and quiet. Nothing wrong with my hearing, it's just that music doesn't move me like it used to. Sad.

For the folks who like docos I came across a hidden gem in the BBC iPlayer library called, "How the Wild West was Won" by Ray Mears and thought it was great.......the true story of the migration west, the cattle trails, the Donner Party and the demise of the Buffalo and the cowboy. Also mentioned were the native Indians and the intro of the railways..............and much more.

 

Fascinating, but hurry if you want to watch it as it is only available for 24 days. I can highly recommend it.

It's available on PB as well.

I'm after a cheap second car for my partner to use as a runabout. She hasn't had any on road practice since getting a licence, so prefer her to learn in something where the dings won't matter.

I believe these early Fords had gearbox issues, but wouldn't this have be rectified in a 10 year old car?

OK buy a wig or get used to life as it is.

Don't get upset with my first answer as it was given in jest, no doubt you have issues with a woman with thinning hair 

Obviously you either didn't read my comments in opening post or just don't give a sh*t.   This is not funny, so respectful replies please.

In her case I very much doubt it. She eats a lot of home grown vegetables plus a lot of fish, and some pork and chicken. No junk food.
