Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?
we have regular outages, several of a night but not as many as when we lived in the other house in town, mainly consist of cars hitting poles, falling trees or people wiring into the power lines themselves, planned outages are usually known through mail drops. Over all outage times are usually not very long, a couple of hours at most but usually under an hour, planned ones are from 9am till 4pm.

Justice Minister: Thaksin Parole Must Pass 3 Panels
so now he must make sure all three panels receive their own special thanks instead of just one, way to make sure it is spread around more, surely he will get out now with so many receiving his special thankyou.

Cement breaking down
I have been trying to sort the problem out since posting, sorry if it wasnt fast enough for you, after having it checked by a few different people and the replies in here we have decided to go with tiles over the effected area, we have been given a really good price to do it all by the tiler we have used previously. I wasnt going to post an update till it was done and we could make sure it was the right solution but apparently it upset this poster who has not commented at all in this post apart from this whinge, boredom must be a real problem for them

Cement breaking down
Not as yet, my wife does not do arguing very well unless its with me, she tends to be submissive to other thais but I will be pushing her to lodge a complaint as the mix was just so bad

Cement breaking down
there was a couple of hundred baht difference but not enough to explain the garbage the first one supplied, we used the first one because we like to use local businesses and they are only 100 metres away, they supplied the mix for the roads through our area and it was all good and finished well. The area is 8 x 5 metres so its a big job, we cant put another layer over it or it will cause flooding of the area around it

Cement breaking down
We had a slab laid for our cars just a couple of months ago under the new roofed area, it was trucked in but when the mix was released onto the prepared area it was absolutely overloaded with blue metal and sand, obviously the company that was supplying it was making profits by using more of each with a smaller amount of cement, The workers had a very hard time trying to get a good finish as it would not level/smooth over and blue metal was showing through the surface all over it. It started to break down within a very short time and if we tried to hose it off the surface would break down even more and would wash away the cement/sand. It is a large area so removing & replacing is out of the question, if I was back in Australia I would use Bond crete to try to stop it breaking down but not sure if they have anything here that would do the same thing so need some help to find out what I can use/do to stop the surface breaking down. Needless to say we used a different supplier to finish the driveway with no problems and the finish is great, seeing this it is easy to see why so many buildings etc fall apart in Thailand, profits before quality.

Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis
he pulled a gun on ice agents, he had 2 spare mags ready, he wasnt there for a peaceful time, he found that FAFO is a real thing, wouldnt be surprised it comes out that he intended to shoot ice agents, the left have been pushing for it and looks like some are listening to them.

At Home Blood Pressure Monitors : Are They Accurate ?
I have my blood pressure checked regularly at the local clinic and at the hospital, unless they both have inaccurate monitors mine gives the same/very close results daily and occassionally high readings(why I got it) before I need to go to either of them to be checked over. It is doing exactly what I bought it for, to monitor my blood pressure to guard against very high readings and it does the job very well, readings match the clinic/hospital readings when I go in to them, it does exactly what it is meant to, to let me know when my blood pressure jumps high or drops to low

At Home Blood Pressure Monitors : Are They Accurate ?
I have been using a microlife blood pressure monitor for many years, very reliable and accurate

US federal forces blind two protesters shot in face
they were attacking federal agents , they got what they deserved but only the loony left think they can do as they please and attack working feds, these idiots ran in and tried to man handle the agents, the agents shot them in self defence, for me its a pity that they were not damaged more, acting like pathetic loonatics thinking they were safe to do so. Dems called for these idiots to violently attack ice and now they are paying the price for doing these illegal actions, all you have to do is look at most of these idiots to see they are definitely part of the loony left that lack any intelligence to think for themselves and are more than likely basement dwellers in mummies home. What you lot need to accept is that the greater majority of US citizens want these illegals removed, especially with all the corruption now on display by these people and the dems are being shown as supporters of them ripping off the US, they should at least call for peaceful ptotests not violent ones but that wouldnt suit the dems play book.

Thai Army Bolsters Defence with China Armour Deal
Interesting, chinese armour has been a joke for many years but I suppose the special envelopes were impossible to pass up for the thai side

ICE Agent Fatally Shoots US Citizen in Minneapolis Raid
This is always going to be a he said she said, I have watched several of the videos, there is one that shows the tyres in a slowed down action, when she starts to go forward the tyres are spinning and pointing straight ahead towards the ice agent and turn after the first shot, when watching at normal speed this is not obvious and looks like she was turning, the only way to sort this out as to the facts will be an honest independant team with no political favour to either side. What makes this all worse are the leaders that are telling citizens to get in the way and protest the ice actions instead of following the law, the left does have a lot to answer for promoting people to break the law leading to instances like this.

I need a fungicides that works
I have had a lot of success with wood vinegar on mealy bugs with my seedlings (several hundred) as well as bigger plants in protected areas, it is mixed with water and sprayed over the infected areas, I repeat it daily and it is usually gone within a week. Mealy bugs are most prevelent in a protected area without natural weather conditions(wind/rain/sun), you can also hose them off with a high jet of water, remove all leaf litter etc from around the plants base as well. Wood vinegar does not kill them but makes it unpleasant for them to remain on the plant, chemical treatments can be used as well, entirely up to you as to which way you go.

Very big black rat like creature?
body wise maybe but the tail was long and skinny plus it didnt appear to defend itself at all just ran and tried to hide.
-
Very big black rat like creature?
sorry no, had to remove it before the dogs tore it to pieces, stood around 15cm tall and main body was around 30cm plus a long tail, weight was very substantial. when I first saw it standing I did not think it was a rat due to the size but it did look like a rat when dead
-
Very big black rat like creature?
10pm and the dogs went crazy, thought possible snake but it was a rat like creature that was very big and black yet looked like a rat but 3 plus times the size and was very heavy(few kg) when picked up with the snake catcher pole after our bangkaew killed it. Never seen anything like it in all the years I have lived here, have to wonder if this is the heavy footed thing that we hear every so often in our roof as the noise it makes is way too heavy for a normal rat, wife says they are called a pig rat? but I have no idea,

Poll: Do you consider Donald J. Trump to be an EVIL man?
this post is a total joke, a leftist democrat voter that is still peeved trump won the election, the dems will say yes he is and everyone else will say no he isnt, a total BS question. The trump hatred is strong in this one, hahahahaha, he cant live a single day without trump being front & centre in his head, shows just how pathetic dem voters really are when they let their political views run their lives, fine you hate him, build a wall and get over it.

Terror At Bondi Beach As Gunmen Slaughter Festival Crowd
I was referring to muslims in Australia celebrating the twin towers, I saw them doing it, the whole street was packed with them celebrating the death & destruction, these people are mentally defective and do not deserve to be allowed to live in other countries when they are so blood thirsty for non muslims

Terror At Bondi Beach As Gunmen Slaughter Festival Crowd
Really have to wonder at how pathetic these muslims are, Sydney muslims have been celebrating the deaths of the jewish people on the weekend showing their sick way of thinking and acting. This was really to be expected, I can go back to the twin tower destruction in the US, muslims were celebrating in the streets, waving flags, honking their car horns and yelling terrorist slogans, I was totally disgusted to see this in Australian streets now we see the same sick way these people think by celebrating the terrosist attack on fellow Australians, anyone supporting/defending these people are beneath contempt
