  1. Surely, if they cut through the isthmus then Malaysia will drift off into the Indian Ocean taking Singapore with it?
  2. And, don't forget the "reverse-illusion". An "illusion" is when you see something that's not there, the "reverse-illusion" is when you know darn-well that something is there, you just can't see it. Like the screwdriver you know for certain that you just placed on the left side of your workbench, but when you go to pick it up it's just not there. It's usually magically teleported back into the toolbox or somewhere equally unlikely. No, it's not "age", I've been having this problem since I was an apprentice!!
  3. According to the PEA site I linked to earlier the official account is PEAThailand. https://www.pea.co.th/ข่าวสารประกาศ/ข่าวประชาสัมพันธ์/ArtMID/542/ArticleID/153553/PEA-เตือนประชาชน-อย่าหลงเชื่อมิจฉาชีพ-ปลอมบัญชี-LINE-Official-Account-ของการไฟฟ้าส่วนภูมิภาค-PEA
  4. So, it's you sucking up all the sun's energy and leading to all this dull weather! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-town-rejects-solar-panels-amid-fears-they-suck-up-all-the-energy-from-the-sun-a6771526.html
  5. Damn! Madam earns more than 50k per month as my "personal assistant" ("assistance" is provided in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the shower). Yes, it's a tax "optimisation" thing
  6. I must admit I though this thread would lead to an "enthusiastic discussion", oh well 😞
  7. Yup, 99% sure the lady went through the M-Flow system. I use route-9 on a semi-regular basis and it's "impossible" to miss all the M-Flow warning signs. I also use the Don-Mueang tollway regularly. It doesn't have M-Flow but on a number of occasions I've seen altercations (or at least lots of Italian-style arm waving) between Benz / BMW / other posh brand drivers and the assistant chap when they can't get through the Easy/M-Pass lane. I'm assuming that these are M-Flow customers who thought it was the same thing.
  8. AseanNow exclusive! Photo from the accident scene! @BritManToo hurry up and get fixed, or else!!!
  9. With absolutely no apologies to Paul Young. Wherever I lay my wife, that's my home!!
  10. Another "really couldn't make this today" 😞
  11. With all the millions billions that have been spent on "flood-prevention" one would imagine that Pattaya would be where Noah runs aground!
  12. Since I have to go to immigration tomorrow, might as well make good use of the day out of the office and stock up 🙂
  13. The QR goes to an official-looking Line account "PEA Next". Do NOT go there!!
  14. I only pay anything on officially printed PEA bills. https://www.pea.co.th/ข่าวสารประกาศ/ข่าวประชาสัมพันธ์/ArtMID/542/ArticleID/153553/PEA-เตือนประชาชน-อย่าหลงเชื่อมิจฉาชีพ-ปลอมบัญชี-LINE-Official-Account-ของการไฟฟ้าส่วนภูมิภาค-PEA Use Google Translate.
  15. I saw a post recently with a very similar looking issue, of course I can't find it now 😞
  16. True enough, but you really can't take it with you, the vultures will get it eventually 😞
  17. So long as it's Death himself and not some underling called Mort! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(Discworld)
  18. Wheeeee!!! BritMan's thread is here: -
  19. OK, that's a standard "dumb" (despite it being made by Smart TTC) 3-phase meter. I'll put money on it going backwards on export (if you do try it make sure the numbers count down too). Of course, this is not permitted, so don't get caught! I bet the local PEA just ran out of electronic meters. I'm pretty sure there's no extra charge for an electronic meter although they might charge you for one programmed for export metering.
  20. Ah yes. The proverbial "five-minute job". Been there, got the t-shirt (ok, many t-shirts) And, never, ever tidy your workshop before a job.
  21. Can you post a photo of your meter? Export meters don't have to be electronic. We have members who have been waiting years for their export meters, so maybe you don't have one yet!! Try removing the no-export setting and seeing if the meter goes backwards (but don't let a PEA employee see it!!)
  22. Mixed-wash accident. We have the technology ...
  23. Daniel P. Mannix's autobiography "Memoirs of a Sword Swallower" recounts him swallowing a neon tube which was then lit whilst down his throat. Apparently made for a good show with the house lights off. He did fire-eating as well, starting after the house fire-eater "blew up" Do not try this at home!!
