  1. Sorry. A potentially "risky" post has been removed, the content may well be 100% correct but we really can't risk the comments that would be attracted.
  2. Yeah, we like the Makro ones too, more than adequate if you can't be a***d to make your own (we used to). To be honest "fussy" and "sausage" don't really belong in the same sentence considering what actualy goes in most of them. Now bacon (and ham) really is something worth curing yourself.
  3. As per topic title, I just noticed that the "Translate" tag has returned on both PC and mobile.
  4. One assumes that this is a US based survey since KFF is based in San Francisco. I wonder just what a similar survey in Thailand or Europe would look like. I have heard all of them and I know them to be untrue apart from maybe the numbers one. With every country having different testing regimes and counting methods who knows the real numbers anywhere.
  5. Buy them here http://www.mikehunt.co.za/index.php?route=product/category&path=86_93
  6. Conversation with a Bangkok taxi driver. "This is not the Finnish embassy". "Yes it is sir, see, embassy, embassy, embassy, now finish embassy". Fetching my coat!
  7. Yeah, as a boomer in the UK I was always treated to the "there are starving kids who would eat that" if I tried leaving anything. Mop the plate with the bread too...
  8. I still have incandescents in the chook brooder. Last time I bought some was in one of the little outlets next to Sukhumvit MRT station, opposite side of the road from Soi Cowboy. No idea if it's still there.
  9. Yes^^^. Now everybody who hasn't tested their RCD this year just nip out and test it now!! Hmmm, it's gone very quiet, I wonder where everyone's gone
  10. Many moons ago I was working field service and had to visit the Timex factory in Dundee (it really was a long time ago). I was there for a week and stayed in a super pub/hotel, sadly I forget the name. First morning I was treated to a full Scottish breakfast, delicious, of course I scoffed the lot. Second morning I was also treated to a full Scottish, actually it was fuller, having more eggs, bacon, haggis (wild) and toast. Again I scoffed the lot (didn't need lunch that day). By the third morning the breakfast had grown to epic proportions, so I asked the waitress what the score was. "The chef doesn't like people to leave hungry! He catches most English like that. Just leave 1/2 a piece of bacon". Next morning the breakfast was back to the day two size. The chef did come out and ask if I wanted any more.
  11. Low water at Pak Kret today, I've never seen that grey sign before ????
  12. That's where you are going wrong! You have to chase them across the hill in the "wrong" direction which puts the longer legs on the uphill side, they overbalance and roll down the hill. Easy to catch whilst they are still dizzy.
  13. Cute aren't they, not sure if this one is clockwise or anti-clockwise. https://www.facebook.com/ScottishHaggisProtectionSociety/
  14. Most animals, including us ???? But seriously, the farmed haggis just don't have the same full flavour of the wild ones. IMHO clockwise ones have better flavour than anticlockwise ones, but that's just personal taste.
  15. Level at Pak Kret has peaked without entering the red "critical" zone ????
  16. My oracle says it's handcarts or the food cart jobbies.
  17. Queensferry Crossing, 11/11/2017 Frankie the painter. Lest we forget. 23493756_935575939942014_3886334078709923840_n.mp4
  18. Next really high tides (4.2m) are at the beginning of December, hopefully by then the river will have dropped significantly, we shall see. Meanwhile, the dogs found a new friend (the turtle not the wife) stranded by the floods, released him/her into the khlong outside our wall.
  19. Yeah, it does sound like a control board failure. If the little board with the switches and sensor on it has a plug/socket connection try unplugging / re-plugging (I just fixed a CCTV camera like that). Wriggle cables looking for potential bad connections. Failing that it's time to call the man I'm afraid. We have had good service from Samsung Service themselves and not too expensive, so if they service your area definitely worth a call.
