  1. Two well-dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the Brisbane Airport Terminal. The first lady was an arrogant Victorian married to a wealthy business man, the second was a well-mannered elderly woman from Mount Isa, Queensland. After a little while the Victorian woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me." The lady from Mount Isa commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?" The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz. Again, the lady from Mount Isa commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?" The first woman went on, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet. "Yet again, the Mount Isa lady commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?" The first woman then asked, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?" "My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Mount Isa lady. "Charm school?" the first woman cried, "What on earth could they teach you?" The Mount Isa lady responded, "Well as an example... Instead of saying, 'Who gives a F***?' I learned to say, "Well, isn't that fantastic?"
  2. A woman walks into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if he sells size extra-large condoms. He replies, "Yes we do. Would you like to buy some?" She responds, "No sir, but do you mind if I wait around here until someone does?"
  3. Along with ringing a bell and calling "Unclean. Unclean." at regular intervals.
  4. Well, here we are, April 1st. But the March production was no joke with daily production ranging from pretty amazing to amazingly awful. Note that we are now at 12.1kWp of panels from 03/03/24. This is our total daily energy consumption (solar + PEA). Family (grandkids) arrived from a snowy UK on the evening of the 28th hence the sudden jump due to 4 x teens (3F, 1M) taking 1-million-year hot showers and running the A/C at arctic temperatures. They are also eating us out of house and home Love them all really
  5. Post some photos of what you have please, clearly showing the wiring and we should be able to work it out. I think you are going to struggle to find a 3-phase motor that is 220V phase-phase here, it's not a common configuration. A 380V unit that's star ("Y") connected internally could be modified, again if you can find one.
  6. The capacitors will be inside the box on top of the motor. Like noted earlier try it first with the "not remove capacitor" connection to ensure you really do get the range of speeds you want. Then post photos of the inside of the box with the capacitors and we can sort out how to connect it.
  7. Running here: - Let's continue in that thread.
  8. If you go for a standard economy rather that the ultra-cheap version it "seems" to include one checked bag.
  9. https://www.klm.com/information/legal/fees-paid-options It all looks hideously complex!
  10. Back in 1998 my parents won a Ford Explorer, a 1-month safari holiday and 100 grand UK on Spot-the-Ball It came at exactly the right time; dad had just retired as a bus driver.
  11. Yeah, it's the power rail, same thing as fell off the Pink Line.
  12. There was a painter named Michael who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the local church decided to do a big restoration job on the outside of their building. Michael tendered his bid and he got the job because his price was so low. So he set about erecting the scaffolding, setting up the planks, buying the paint, and yes, thinning it down. Well, Michael was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, the sky opened, and the rain poured down washing the thinned paint off the church and knocking Michael clear off the scaffold to land on the ground, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint. Michael was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried: "Oh, God, Oh God, forgive me; what should I do?" And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke, "Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!" Coat being fetched
  13. Troll post removed. To answer our OP. I don't think anything has changed; others may be more up to date. Please don't forget that a Re-Entry Permit is only valid until the end of your current permission to stay, it doesn't give any extra time in country.
  14. What are you going to make the shelves from, regular glass isn't suitable. You need toughened/annealed glass and you can't cut it after the heat treatment. There are several suppliers who will make to your drawings unless you can get ready made shelves and design round them.
  15. So, it's not just yet then. Two pretty big hurdles to get over yet. One can hope the bill has its blades on!
