If nobody has linked earlier, there's a "lively" discussion on the PPRUNE forum. https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/663324-jeju-737-800-crash-muan-airport-south-korea.html

Madam is a trained and licenced Thai masseuse in Italy. Pounding fat Italian ladies in a "Centro Esthetico" at 50 Euro an hour (what they charged, not what she was paid) in the vain hope they would return to what they looked like 15 years before. With an Italian lady you definitely need to look at her mum!! I got regular massages when we were courting, Happy Endings every time 😛 We've been married 20 years last November; I can count the number of massages I've had since then on the fingers of my left ear!! 😞

Walking street??

1000000 binary?

Today is our family/village Xmas/Yule/New Year/Any Excuse party. I won the world's most non-woke/politically incorrect keyring ever on the Fairly Secret Santa Draw. Posted on Facebore, rather too many of my UK friends (some of whom are definitely not very white) want to know if I can get them one!!!

How are your panels, controller, switch and pump arranged. Are you switching the pumps to a single controller or switching the panels to separate controllers?

The officer will often ask if you want the 1 day stamp or the visa-exempt.

Which inverters are you using? Some sound like Concorde on full re-heat! Our Deye hybrids are silent although they do apparently have internal fans.

And now! The chicken tile! https://johnsontiles.co.za/the-story-of-a-tile-called-chicken Found in pub toilets all over the UK, they look fine until you spot one that's been installed "upside down" or worse, "randomly"

Stage whisper - Rotate the image 90o right, the cat is sitting on the right-hand end of the rotated broomstick. Once you see him, he's there even in the un-rotated image. Meow!! The human brain is amazing!

Was the baby named Gerald and was he completely wild or absolutely livid when captured?

Whilst this is true, power gets more expensive the more you use, the actual base tariff hasn't changed since January 10, 2024. The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) of Thailand set new electricity charges, ranging from 4.68 baht to 5.95 baht/unit from January until April 2024. However, the government later intervened and reduced the rate to 4.18 baht per kWh for households consuming less than 300 kWh per month. The Fuel Tariff (Ft) has also remained constant during the same period, meaning that if you use the same amount of energy your bill will be the same as it was in February this year. Nothing has rocketed, sky or otherwise. Bills have of course increased over the summer, because people are using more energy for aircon during the hot weather.

An auction in China – the country’s biggest for energy storage – suggests that the price decline in battery cells, thanks to intense competition, technology and efficiency improvements and boosted manufacturing capacity, may be even more dramatic than that. According to reports out of China, the Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina) has attracted 76 bidders for its unprecedented tender of 16 GWh. The bids were opened on December 4, and according to PV Mag, has attracted prices ranging from $US60.5/kWh to $US82/kWh, with an averaging of $US66.3/kWh. It said 60 of the bids were below $68.4/kWh. https://reneweconomy.com.au/mind-blowing-battery-cell-prices-plunge-in-chinas-biggest-energy-storage-auction/

For those with a Boxing-Day hangover. Find the cat in this image. Yes, it's there and once you see it you will never un-see it.

Yeah, the PEA tariff and Ft haven't changed in the past 12 months. More of a damp squib than a skyrocket.

A couple of articles: - https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1219878/all-arriving-luggage-to-be-x-rayed-at-main-airports https://www.nationthailand.com/perspective/30375894 Whether this ever actually happened I know not, hence my "I believe". Like you, I don't give a flying flip if they see my dirty laundry unless they think my socks are a bio-hazard (my site boots are another thing altogether and need handling with full HAZMAT gear).

Argh. I hadn't actually made that connection, at least not consciously! Now I won't be able to un-think it! I'll get another glass of white!
