  1. It definitely sounds like the damp has gotten somewhere it shouldn't. Check that your boxes are completely dry (Madam's hair-dryer) then try to hunt out any other places where the wet could access.
  2. It all the fault of listening to GHR!
  3. A blonde decides to try horse riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and it immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse’s mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse’s neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly ignorant of its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot becomes entangled in the stirrup, and she is now at the mercy of the horse’s pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over. She starts to lose consciousness, but to her great fortune, Bobby, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her and unplugs the horse.
  4. How do you tell the sex of an ant? Drop it in water… If it sinks... Girl ant If it floats…
  5. 555, I went looking too. Unless they are counting the two Green Line extensions past Ha Yaek Lat Phrao and Samrong as separate lines coz they work under a different business model / concession agreement. Note that these stations have island platforms (and there's a depot on each section too) so could have been transfer stations if the concession was not awarded to BTSC.
  6. @GammaGlobulin you and your weather-predicting bones! Ruddy Baltic this morning in Bangkok, 18C! Brrrr.

    Wrapping paper

    Too late for this year now, but we used to have re-usable drawstring "Santa-sacks", one per present of course. Not quite so much fun as ripping paper off but so much more environment (and bank account in the long run) friendly. Something like this: -
  9. Ethically sourced haggis I hope. The wild-caught ones are tastier but becoming rare now due to over fishing.
  10. There are ones with bigger wheels that are more like a one-wheel motorcycle with a seat and handlebars. Much more suitable for us "slightly older" guys. I'd still want a lid (of course), gloves and probably skateboarding pads.
  11. Here you go https://shopee.co.th/product/286416861/20357140867
  12. I'd love to but my knees would never stand it, too much like slalom skiing.
  13. Last shown on 24 December 2022 on ITV4 at 9:00 pm followed by The Dam Busters.
  14. I saw a chap riding one of these in Bangkok traffic a few months back, he was wearing a bright-pink outfit and full face helmet and moving pretty well with the traffic. Only saw him once.
  15. Is that actually the remains of tiny, tiny ants? These chaps really like electric fields and can crud up light switches, breakers, pump pressure switches and the like.
  16. Another one that circulated back into my mind.
  17. Aided by his guide-dog of course
  18. For a realistic view, the numbers for our 10.6kWP on-grid hybrid system over the last couple of years.
  19. Yeah @Woof999 definitely a napkin/fag packet estimate to get you in the right ball-park. Many people (and suppliers) massively over-estimate how much energy a system will generate and end up with an undersized system and disappointment. You can never have too much solar. You may want to look at LPG (or even solar) water heaters, also, as I noted, if you need more battery or PV it's easy enough to nail on. Our 10kWP solar is on the car port (Madam won't let anything near her roof), easy access, no worries if it leaks a bit. Make sure you have decent access to clean your panels. @Bandersnatch has a big hybrid system, have a look at his informative threads.
