Lazada and AliExpress sell carbon motor brushes in all sizes, you need to measure them carefully. Dirt cheap, 10 for the price of one..... if you can find it retail.

To which part of his anatomy might this refer, one wonders........

I had the misfortune to be caught up in the tsunami on Phi-Phi. One of the more bizarre experiences after the event, was finding in the water a 500 baht note, so obviously fake that no one could ever mistake it for the real thing.

If I remember correctly (and I am sure I will be corrected if not!!!) the patient died. In my view a manslaughter charge is appropriate, " if there is something like that in Thailand."

Yes.

Then watch the wang-king bankers steal it. That's what happened to me!

Something smells about this story.......

It was a joke, for 4X sake! Get a life!

The point is, you don't need pavements, 'cos you can walk on the road......'cos there aint no traffic. Get it?

Rename it "Walking Street II", problem solved.

Ah, you don't recognise sarcasm. The last thing I want is a ticket. Who is he anyway?

I for one shall be queuing NOT to get a ticket!

Given the low cost of labour here, and not knowing the areas involved, might it not be cheaper and easier to dig up the whole lot and start again, with a proper standard of reinforcement, etc., and whatever finish you choose? So far as I have seen a hydraulic jackhammer on a JCB or similar machine will destroy the lot in no time.

No, but good for killing vampires.

The name says it all!

I took my wifes' late godfather to immigration to renew his extension. He was not late at the time, simply old and frail. He was fast-tracked to the head of the queue, and done in five minutes. "Don't ever bring him back", they said, "just bring a photo". To be fair, he did reduce the place to chaos with his Zimmer whilst he was there! Sure enough, the next year a photo did the job.

Methanol. The drinkable bit is ethanol.

Not too many unimpeachable witnesses around now, though.

Yes but.....if the bag is too small for the bin, you have a problem, and potentially a mess. If it's too big, it 's wasteful and untidy! Life is too short to worry too much about it, unless you work for the RTP, nod nod wink wink.

It's not that simple! Makros' 15"x30" bags are folded at that size BUT they have gussets at each side 4" wide, so their circumference is 2 x 15"+ 4 x 4" = 46", giving a bin diameter of 46÷π =14.6 or less, or a square bin of 46÷4= 11½" per side or less. Although they are 30" long, the handle cut-out is 6", and the bottom will require 7½", so the maximum height of the bin will be 30"-13½"= 16½". And that leaves no slack to seal the bag! I will leave it to you, dear reader, to perform these calculations for all the other sizes. Short answer, the size printed on the packet bears little or no intuitive relationship to the size of the bin. Suck it and see, then remember the size you need!

We have Russian owners living on both sides an opposite, of those two are presently absent. A couple nights ago our neighbour invited us in for drinks and to discuss the war in ukraine. It ended up being Mrs G and I, 4 other males and a female. Female is Ukranian, her partner is Russian from Novosibirsk. The house owner is Russian of Ukranian extraction and has a business in Irkutsk. The other two are Muskovites. Not one of them approves of the war, or supports Putin. They believe he is too well protected to be assassinated, but does not have the ability to launch nuclear weapons, as it takes three separate codes. They are happy to be prisoners here, as travel home is too difficult, the business is trashed , and they have bitcoin. All very friendly.

Is chet-chet-chet more auspicious than hok-hok-hok or hah-hah-hah? 555

SWMBO and I used to love Kho Phi-phi. We were there in the tsunami, went back twice afterwards........now, no interest at all. Completely ruined.
