  1. Yeah, it was one of the alternative comedy shows on BBC 2 (Not the Nine O'clock News or the like) that did the spoof with Seaman Staines, Master Bates and Roger the cabin boy.
  2. Check your supply polarity at the heater and verify the integrity of your earth back to the rod. If all tests good then either live with it (it's not going to be a hazard without the light) or take it back for a replacement.
  3. I test drove the 1.9 Mu-X before actually buying the 3.0. The smaller engine did indeed feel a bit gutless on the test drive but I liked the rest of the car. The 3.0 also sips along at between 11 and 12km/l even with my "not particulatly light" right foot.
  4. It could well be since he was also at the latest meeting of the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration.
  5. Hang on a sec, I thought he was in Scotland not signing the deforestation treaty. Perhaps that really is a cardboard cutout.
  6. Yes, with a new re-entry permit. You are screwed, start again.
  7. I'd be looking at something like this right after your main incomer. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/surge-ac-ly1-b80-80ka-3-l1-l2-l3-n-pe-ac-surge-3p-80ka-i2809012215-s10238081180.html?
  8. A Thai collegue tells me that it's called "dark green", the top one is "very dark green" Officially it's "yellow".
  9. What's the spec. on that Schneider unit? The problem with lightning surges is that they are far too fast for any electro-mechanical device to operate. The MOVs in the SPD's are very fast, but have to have enough current capability to snub the likely surges. They reset by themselves but do wear out (hence the "replace" window). We have a 100kA SPD on our incoming supply where it enters the house, then smaller 60kA units on the feeds to the solar on the car port. Delicate or expensive technology gets local good quality, plug-in protectors too. I think you are going to need another box with a nice meaty SPD mounted right next to your incoming MCCB as a start.
  10. TSP - Trisodium Phosphate. Get it on Lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/products/chemipan-trisodium-phosphate-tsp-industrial-1kg-i283758879-s461522578.html? Let's move this to DIY.
  11. The dogs have their own coats to augment their built-in furry jackets and internal heaters ????
  12. I noticed that Madam has located and prepared her scarf, cardi, gloves and woolly hat. Not wearing them just yet but they are at the ready. I'll stick with the shorts and T
  13. Nothing that I'm aware of, it would be almost unenforceable anyway in a place the size of BKK. If you live in a village / moo baan there might just be local rules but I doubt it.
  14. Would you buy a used car from either of these men??
  15. This is probably the best bet for keeping the costs down. Obviously more in-country hassle but if you want zero hassle don't come to Thailand.
  16. "I'm bored" task for the day, write an App to encode plain text to "Old Phone Speak".
  17. Maybe. But unless you've decoded it too you wouldn't know what "one" is!
  18. Freezer topped up - Check. Beer in stock - Check. Fuel in car - Check. Strike away chaps, you're already protected from the worst of the fuel cost by the current 30 Baht cap.
  19. This is good advice, however mahjongguy already has 5 RCBOs, I'm assuming on "risky" circuits.
  20. HomePro have a few things that might suit, what we in the UK might call a zed-bed ???? https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1151876 Check for local stores and availability.
