Try that in Switzerland. You cut down a tree you replace it.
And which country are not tree murderers?Thai's are tree murderers...pure and simple.

You are lucky that you have even Lurpak, I have a 2 hour drive to the next place with Lurpak.
If I could find decent milk with 35% fat content I could make butter. So that's my question, anybody done this, or can anyone recommend a cream that would be suitable?

My solution as an ex pro: spray off the lot with Glyfosat and start again if this disturbs you. You will have the same problem again as the seeds germinate in a year or two.

Interesting question. They need winter dormancy, I know that. You won't find any seeds I think.

..".And at the very bottom, the stuff is turning black and slimy" doesn't sound good.
Composting needs air, water, warmth.
Air:During composting, the material collapses on itself and with time the rotting process will become anaerobic, which you don't want and smells bad. when you make a new pile it should heat up, with time it cools down again and this is the time that you should remake the pile, stuff that was at the bottom or inside should gain access to air.when you get to stage whre there are plenty of worms, it is nearly finished,
You should reckon with turning at least every three months, maybe sooner. The molasses idea will be time consuming, you can give it a go.
I certainly wouldn't add unchopped twigs and branches to a compost heap unless I had a lot of time on my hands.

Nissan Almera has rear window and front window 'defrosters' or demisters. It also has a heater that we used about 8 times during the cold snap.

I worked as a lifeguard. I would never entrust my life or that of a family member to these guys for 5 minutes. We were always s**t scared that something would happen on our shift. These guys don't care

My point is working people, those who have jobs they need to be at cannot run errands on a lunch hour to places they need to visit without taking off work.
If you cannot understand how absurd it is that an entire office staff has to have lunch at the same time, instead of staggering it - in order to serve the public, or customers, then I can only surmise you are defending something quite different than the subject at hand.
I'm reading a lot of personalized mud slinging, and how on earth does Sunday or Europe fit into the subject of an entire country losing millions of hours of productivity every single day working day? what pathetic discourse
I have yet to read an argument for why Thais need to all eat lunch together and why it is such an affront to suggest a better way to conduct business and service.
Because the happiness of the workers is more important than making the customer happy or the employer's profits.
At least in a world that isn't completely run by greed.
I suspect you are American and think the whole world should be run to maximize corporate profits and economic "development".
These things just aren't that important to the rest of the more rational world.
Learn to slow down, relax, lower your expectations and enjoy life - you'll live longer and have some chance of being happy here.
I agree, up to a point. Sometimes it just needs a word (in my case I could have gone to eat also instead of waiting nearly three hours while the mechanos were out eating and carousing) and I am sure that this comes up EVERY day. I was there, other Thais had been waiting longer than me, and it was because of the farang that had the audacity to complain that they came back to work. It was more than an hour's break. I can wait all day, I can take a tuktuk into town and drink a beer or whatever. Just leaving people there on the assumption that you are too good mannered to complain deserves castration, skinning alive and being tickled with a dip stick. I protest about this stuff anywhere so don't tell me to go back where I came from if I don't like it.

So seems they do not do oil changes on older cars, only new, " This new caw pwathe" ( with 50-60 staff doing nothing ) so I waited around for an entire hour , an hour and a half really- over lunch break to be told this , when it could have been pointed out to me when I first inquired in the morning.
Is tissue missing from the frontal lobe hereditary, or are they obtuse on purpose?
There's only a dozen or so servicing the two cars, the rest are busy on their i Phones. But I have a pic of their expensive sign and catchphrase that is typically mangled English.
" Take care with Impress" Hold on, ...might make a good thread, too. The Manglish Thread
Even the capitalization is wrong How much did they spend on this facility and they cannot even hire a native English speaker? They probably think they know English better .
Out to Lunch !!
The reason I"m finding this especially annoying is I'm sitting at a new Toyota dealership that has about 70 more staff than are needed today.
I'm getting a tailight replaced that a Thai brat of the age of 13 broke ramming into the rear of my car on his Dad's motorcycle.
So the car is ready, and is sitting in the body shop bay, I'd like to also get the oil changed and the brakes checked too and informed the intake staff of this when I first arrived a few hours ago.
I was told I needed to contact the service bay staff when the body shop was done , and then I could" make an appointment..." for the oil change ( There are two cars getting serviced today 2 cars and 75 staff )
However since it was 12 PM everyone is gone to the back to check their personal communique devices furiously..
Oh wait everyone is back- sitting at their desks checking their devices furiously ..
With Thailand's natural resources, and shoreline to rival a small continent, this nation should be the absolute leader in the region in all aspects - why is it so..... inept?
The people is why- they are a curse upon a wonderful country.
take a picture of the 75 staff servicing two cars andd upload it here and i might believe you .............
Change your own oil...it isn't that hard!!!!! Take your car in for the repair one day and the oil change another day and above all learn to relax!!!!
Nice one. I was told that if I change the oil myself, the warrantry would be void. How about that?

We went to get our car serviced, 11.00 as arranged. We waited, oh boy did we wait. Around 13.30 we realised that nobody was working , found somebody to complain to and 10 minutes later it was finished .
They don't give a monkey's about customer service . But you do learn, don't you? Next time....

I would be extremely upset if anybody killed my fighting cock. In the village, you could count on paying at least ฿2000.- for something like that, maybe some revenge on the physical level.
Chickens and cocks are a part of life in Thailand, if you kill one, they will just buy another. Move to Stockholm or something..

My bank has my Thailand address, but they also have the address of my PO box at the post office, ฿300.- a year. I told them that the post office has the right to accept registered letters, which they do, not sure if that is strictly true.
Secondly, all other stuff gets forwarded to my son's address in Switzerland, he sends it on by EMS once a month. I too lost a credit card, the local postie has been seen holding envelopes up to the light to see what is in there. So I circumvent his services, we just get TOT bills and stuff like that.
No problems since.

I bought a roll in Homepro but it is really feeble stuff. I ended up cementing it in. Maybe you will have to think along the lines of concrete and bricks also. Not an easy job.

I am reliably informed by an internet security big timer that you should NEVER use your phone for banking. 'Whatever it seems to you: I do internet security for a living any my advice is this: do not let your smartphone near your bank account. Do not let convenience steal your money!'

It's not the heat it's the humidity. I have worked out of doors at 40°C, not happily, but I could do it, Switzerland. (I was a bit younger). If you have a humidity gauge, try
http://www.csgnetwork.com/canhumidexcalc.html
I have been getting 'Great discomfort; avoid exertion'. for a week or so now. This, in Farang speak, means 'go to an air conditioned bar and have a beer or three'.
The air conditioning lowers the temperature, yes, but it also removes humidity. To reduce electricity costs you need to insulate the ceilings and walls, maybe plant a tree or two...

Be aware that this pipe is flexible and comes in rolls. If the pipe you get is too big, you can slice it end to end with a skill saw or jig saw and overlap the cut part to make it smaller. A heat gun will also make it behave itself but don't overdo it and melt it.
In the US it's called perforated PVC drain pipe.
This will not let a deluge flow along the gutter and flow down the down pipe.In Switzerland I took out loads of this stuff for customers as much gets into and under the gutter protection and blocks the flow anyway.
