On a visit to Australia I went to Centrelink office to enquire about pension on my return. I was told I need to call their international services. If any help it is:- The phone number for Centrelink International Services is +61 3 6222 3455. You can call this number Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM AEDT

I once took 2 "ladies" home from a bar. We all got undressed and I thought I had won the lottery - 6 matching balls.

I call it the "Christmas Hold" - a hand full of nuts.

I live in Chiang Mai and its amazing the number of Myanmar girls who work in bars which is also illegal. I have not encountered any in massage, but then again, I don't ask them.

Unless its a reverse cycle AC the it is an evaporator in cooling mode and a condenser in heating mode.

The later ones I saw in Oz were. This causes a problem with heat dissipation.

Inverter units are very susceptible to electrical spikes. When they first started being sold in Australia they were also found to be very susceptible to geckos and mice running and peeing on the unprotected circuit boards.

I rent a house with 2 ACs. The main bedroom one is used a lot. On checking one day I found the unit was not earthed so I ran an earth from the junction box through the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. Nice and safe. A year or so later the AC compressor died so needed a new AC. Owner of house had an AC group to come replace it. The installers were not just a one man affairg but a largish group. After they left I noticed a length of earth wire I had used on the ground. Took connection cover of AC and earth connected. Took cover off ducting that house the piping and wiring. For some reason they had cut the earth wire off in the ducting but left a useless piece of wire connected to the AC. So much for your "Only have units installed by authorized vendors."

Heard this before, wait till us oldies die out. News flash, oldies never die out. And they don't want to train us too much as we might understand their ultimate plan. Not really aheadlong rush. Been planned for years. Bitcoin was the physical start of things.

You think Thailand is the only country doing this? And you are in Thailand but hate the queue when other people paying with cards. Supposed to chill out. People now so impatient now and in a hurry to get home to watch TV.

I am 69 and use "scan" most of the time now, very easy. I also use Line to chat to most people, again for easy for me at least.

Coming from the person that started the thread.

I am not a big coffee drinker but someone gave me a pack of We Coffee which is 23 in 1 and I quite like it so it is now my morning beverage.

I applied at Bangkok Bank. Had to do a fixed deposit for the amount of "credit" I wanted. Not so bad as it earned higher interest. The bank gave me 2 cards , one of which was an AirAsia card which earned points with AA, and a few other benefits. But that has stopped since covid. So I still keep it as a "just in case".

Hoping for longer but from sibling trends 83 seems it.
