  1. Inject them with what exactly?? Didn't a Thai lady weightlifter get disqualified for having something less-than-legal circulating??
  2. It's almost as if they really, really don't want us and our foreign exchange! Quelle surprise!
  3. Looks pretty darn good, lots of gravy for it to soak up I hope 😛 Did you use fresh or frozen toads?
  4. Sorry, my mind flashed to this: - But as others have noted, nothing seems to achieve the closeness of a wet shave.
  5. Cheese and tomato on a soft roll, roll must have real butter applied first of course. I like a good, strong cheddar, but anything that's not the plastic cheese will actually do.
  6. An off-topic attempt to de-rail the thread has been removed.
  7. Madam decided that we would grapple by getting a new, more powerful (but more efficient) aircon for our bedroom. Bought it at Homepro on Sunday morning, the crew installed it this morning.
  8. My ex-boss was a habitual loser of phones and wallets, invariably in taxis after a night out. He kept a card with his contact details in his wallet and had his contact details on his phone lock-screen. Never got one back! @2long I hope your mate gets his things back and didn't have too much critical stuff in his wallet. EDIT Yes, he was bright enough that the contact phone number listed was his condo. reception. But only after someone pointed out that calling the number on his phone screen made the phone ring
  9. You are all wrong! I have it on good authority that Bob has signed up for an advanced Photoshop course
  10. That you have an EVSE (EV charger) means you will need a 30/100 supply (the installers insist). The digital meter is already suitable. You're probably going to need 35 or 50mm2 aluminium cable, but do verify with your contractor and PEA as the rules vary by location. How far would the cable run be from the meter to the house, you say it needs "numerous" poles? Need to verify volt-drop. For your connections, I would tell your sparks to attach a length of 25mm2 copper cable to the end of the aluminium and keep the joint outside the house, properly taped up with self-amalgamating tape it will be weatherproof. Use a bi-metal splice of appropriate sizes, something like this: - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/bimetal-al25cu16-sqmm-i5052044639-s21361692389.html
  11. A couple of bickering / off-topic posts have gone walkabout.
  12. At 8.30PM our lights, A/C, TV etc. will be running on stored solar energy. It's actually a pain to turn the lights off, each has a separate remote control and none of the remotes have batteries. I think they'll stay on
  13. @advancebooking Get your own temporary meter from PEA ASAP. PEA only install the meter, anything between the meter and the house is your problem, so get your pole-man to put the poles where you intend running the cables to the house. He may as well install the proper sized cables (check the PEA requirements) for your permanent meter at the same time. Aluminium cable is much cheaper than copper and less likely to wander off in the night, but you must use one size larger than the copper would be. Aluminium also needs special care at terminations to avoid poor connections leading to fizzing and conflagration. Have you done any sort of prospective load calculation to determine how large a supply you need? OK that's a rhetorical question - Alternative question, how big is the planned house? Pool? Cooking appliances (electric or gas)? Water heaters? Man-cave with big power tools? Potential for an EV?
  14. Indeed, particularly as: - I just hope he doesn't end up on a menu somewhere
  15. I think it's time to draw a veil across this one, the bickering has commenced and will now cease!
