Remember this??

Said outlet (BamBooze) is still operating, I cannot make any statement about the availability (or otherwise) of the staff!! My mate was, allegedly, banging one of the hotel maids!! Bringing new meaning to "maid service" It was all a looong time ago! Earth was green and unicorns roamed!

Related anecdote: - Some years back I was working in Singapore, the company put us up in the Changi Village Hotel. Pretty OK really. Across the local car park was a nice beach-front bar (all now replaced by boring cookie-cutter housing). Anyway, said parking was occupied by the local ladyboys. On the way back from the bar we were, of course, accosted! My mate noted that he really would like to go with a woman. Ah, says one of the accosters, "You would like my friend. He's got a pu55y!". A hasty retreat was beaten and an alternative (longer) route from bar to hotel was installed, of course the route went via another outlet that had Filipina staff

As a member of what sometimes feels like a minority group (straight, white, male), I prefer an actual female type woman!!

Not really, just keep applying the pressure. We had an issue with a Samsung washer (it kept blowing up main boards. There's a thread on here somewhere). Eventually we got our money back from Samsung. We bought an Electrolux! Cue Twilight-Zone music

Just how old was this lift? The elevator safety brake was invented in 1853 by Elisha Graves Otis !! Was the lift even human-rated?? I recall the trouble Mythbusters went to in order to disable all the safety features in their free-fall elevator episode.

Zooming in (not a perv, honest), I think it's a trick of the light (shadow of the trolley bars) and my antique eyeballs Besides, if it really was a boob, I'd have to remove it.

Particularly as one appears to have had a wardrobe-malfunction, is that flash of boob I see? 😛

Ah. The Magic and Mystery of Christmas. January 2024 Take down, coil carefully and stow perfectly functional Xmas lights. Place in secure storage (OK the attic). December 2024 Recover lights from the attic. Whilst in storage something (gremlins) has converted my carefully coiled sets into a tangled spaghetti. Half the sets are no longer functional or are only partially functional! Ditch the dead sets and buy more. January 2025 ... Rinse and repeat.

Numbers for November 2024. We're definitely not using all our solar potential either from our panels or our storage. I expect that to change when we have our UK visitors over

(Bloomberg) -- Solar imports from Southeast Asia are being unfairly sold in the US below their production costs, according to initial findings of a Commerce Department review that laid out duties of as much as 271% to counteract the practice. The preliminary determination released Friday marks another victory for US solar panel makers that argued those cheap imports are harming their business and undermining government investments meant to nurture a domestic supply chain. At issue are imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells — and modules made with them — from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, countries which provide the bulk of US supply of that equipment today. Those nations provide the bulk of US solar cell and module imports. The announcement comes nearly two months after the US agency issued preliminary findings from a separate but related probe that the solar imports from Southeast Asia are unfairly benefiting from government aid. The investigations represent the latest bid by US manufacturers to confront overseas rivals. After similar duties were imposed on solar imports from China roughly 12 years ago, Chinese manufacturers responded by setting up operations in other Asian nations that weren’t affected by the tariffs. The US probes were triggered by an April petition from the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, which represents companies including First Solar Inc., Hanwha Qcells USA Inc. and Mission Solar Energy LLC.
