The shop owner when asked if she was upset she replied "Of course I'm upset. He hasn't phoned or texted me".

The new growth will only be epicormic growth and as such not be connected to the the heartwood and will have no strength to either bear heavy fruit or withstand severe weather and winds. This is one of the main reasons badly pruned trees drop branches and will always be structurally compromised. If it is near to your house it should be removed. As jackfruit grows from the trunks and old branches you may still get fruit from from the trunk , but . I am certainly no expert on Jackfruit tree production.

There is, however, a form of pruning called pollarding where the trunk is cut off and epicormic growth in allowed to grow but that is usually only done on ornamentals and usually in ornamental avenues or in some cases for the commercial harvesting of leaves .

Thanks for the advice.

I have a jack fruit tree which was cut off at about 8 feet above ground level, the trunk being about 15 inches diameter. It has now sprouted about six vertical side branches which are about 15 feet tall. Will these branches fruit and what is the best way to prune them? Most programs I have seen on pruning only advise on trees not as drastically treated as mine and with single trunks. Any advice gratefully received.

Does anyone know if True vision are showing the England /Ireland match on Saturday, or where to watch it it on line?

Glad to see that TV is keeping abreast of the news.It brings to mind the old song 'Mammories are made of this'. Or was it Memories?

The police should forget about 'Pretty Pink Nipples' and concentrate on catching' Ugly <deleted>' who bomb the country!

Commenting as an outsider Trump is doing what Bush did for the the USA when he was in office. Making it appear to be a brash, loud mouthed, uncouth country. Bush destroyed the USA's good image. Now Trump,the buffoon, is doing the same thing. Should Trump be successful in his bid for the Presidency I pity the Americans.

Another reenactment? Will the police for their usual photo op be standing, pointing at the explosion? Curiouser and curiouser?

Just for me, those things need to be 2 cycle. That's my chainsaw, leaf blower, trimmer, hedge clippers, etc. All of them.

I don't buy cheap tools ever. My "string trimmer - Weed Eater" is a Stihl I've had for about ten years without issue. I use only oil of a quality brand that's sold for 2 cycle mixing. Right now I have Stihl oil that comes in bottles sufficient for 1 gallon of gas. I buy it in six packs from the dealer.

2 cycle is so much lighter weight, maneuverable, and fast revving. For me, 4 cycle is for where more torque is needed such as a mower and where weight doesn't matter.

FWIW If I'm not going to use a machine for a few months I start it and let it run out of gas. Gas goes bad with time.

Cheers.

Pass the cheese.

I found out about the emulsion tube? in the carb from Donyboy on You tube. Had never heard of it before. Replaced mine and it was up and running.

I've used my 'Weed Whacker for years, a Kawasaki ?? I use a litre gin bottle of petrol and add just under half of a teaspoon of two stroke oil. Your problem seems to be a seize up job.

Thermo glue can usually be obtained from any computer parts shop. However, you may find a chat with your local appliance provider/service centre will solve your problem. Most towns have the "fix all" type of service centres.

Thanks CharlieH, but I tried to get a new seal or glue in Home Pro and of course it was 'mai mi, no glue can be in heat. We will order a new seal'. I've given the measurements and am waiting for them to call back. I've checked for these repair kits on the web and they are freely available including heat resistant glue outside the country. I'll wait and see what develops but I'm hoping someone here can point me to a supplier in the Pattaya area.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy gas oven replacement rubber oven door seals and heat resistant glue?

Way back, I nearly ran into the back of what I suspect was a charcoal seller,( my wifes' observation) black as Newgates Knocker, no lights and taking up most of the road with his cart. The road was badly lit and he seemed to merge into the background. Like you, fortunately I just avoided him. Around here in Sattahip there are a few cyclists still riding without lights but on the whole most seem to have them. Like motorists here they think that just because they can see you, you can see them and are reluctant to switch on their lights. As I was taught in the army 'light's up, sights up. Light down, sights down'. Things are a lot nearer than you think in twilight.

The million baht reward is very focusing. Finger anybody and it might be better than a lottery win. Having said that its good that people are keeping their eyes open for this alleged bomber. Let us hope they get the right culprit or culprits and not a scapegoat.

With Tesco's campaign to stop providing plastic bags, has anyone had experience of trying to provide their own bags to be filled?

"Keep the red flag flying High". I would have thought that the Russians would have taken notice? Perhaps they did? RIP

Trump obviously doesn't realise that he is an illegal immigrant.

Are monks supposed to have money?

Wish I could give you the name of the new hotel by the Water Park. Just south of Jomtien, maybe 10 kilometers, they just opened a new hotel across from the brand new water park built by The Cartoon Network. I would have to believe that they would cater to kids. Close by is Nong Nooch, and the Silver Lake Winery, which I would think even a child would enjoy seeing. Beautiful, nice tour to go on. Good luck.

Maybe nice, but farang prices!!

Insane. What on earth was the Honda driver doing driving the right way in the first place? Doesn't he know the rules?

What rules. Marquis of Kingsbury?

I've decided to make my own fiberglass backing panels, using the existing door panels as the mould. Anyone know what sort of release agent should I use on the plastic and metal door panels?

There is a place on Sukhumvit road (northbound past Bangkok Pattaya Hospital) next door to the Honda dealer, opposite to McDonalds and Mini Siam.

They have floor tiles that appear to be terracotta - but I'm not sure if they have been "fired" or whether they would be suitable as baking stones.

Would a granite offcut work? There are quite a few places around town that cut granite for worktops. Obviously, you would need to make sure it was untreated and free from chemical sealants etc.

I took you advice Chickenlegs and bought a slab from the dealer you mentioned. All I need to do is check whether it will stand up to the heat. Thanks again.

did it stand up the heat?? thanks for reply

The tile stood up to the heat which was fine. My first try at soda bread left a bit to be desired

Why don't they understand that the answer to many guns are more guns? Why don't they understand that to arm every man, woman and child is the only solution?? This is where the US is heading and you see how well it works there!!

This is about Thailand and not the USA. Focus is difficult to maintain for those with faulty lenses.

Touched a nerve have we?

Funny you should say that,10 days ago sitting on the veranda of our house having breakfast, when at the front of the house ,next to the road ,walked past ,a 5 ft. Monitor lizard.

This morning at about the same time ,and place ,he/she walked past again, not knowing about the life cycle of Monitor lizards, do they have regular route they take, and at the same time.

It was nice to see ,but 2 days ago my neighbour said one of his new ducks was missing, he only has 6 ,was it the ML ,or as my missus said our dog going out at nights, she has been known to chase chickens, but no feathers have been found, which makes us think it was ML.

As for the poo looks a bit small for a ML ,unless it is a young one.

It is about four inches long.I believe they will eat anything.
