  1. Woody was blind and he really wanted a harmonica. So, one day his brother gave him a razor, and said "here is your harmonica". And Woody played and played, and his smile got wider and wider.
  2. How do you know death is a man? . . . He always comes quicker than expected ?
  3. Every one knows what Poo! is, no need to use the word <deleted> which the censors will just blank out. Septic tank? Not really a tank is it?
  4. Why would anyone pay for a pirate Widows key, no matter how cheap, when activation ways are readily available for on YouTube and a simple Google search. Search for "Microsoft Toolkit" or have a look at https://crackshash.com. Anything from 'crackshash" will be safe to use. Your virus program may flag it. after all you are messing with the system, but if it makes you feel better do a full system back up onto another disk before tryin anything.
  5. Ours must be the cheap version we only got screw off brass hatch on one of the lids. The guy just slides off the round concrete rings to get the pipe in. I don't take a lot of notice, just let him get on with it, I'm sure (almost) that he used to empty both tanks but noticed recently that he now only empties just one. Just want to be sure which is correct before making a deal about it. We pay just 400 Baht. ????
  6. Why do women fart less than men? Women don't stop talking long enough to build up pressure.
  7. We have a couple of those concrete rings in the ground for the toilet waste. When they were put in I vaguely remember that the two rings were connected underground by blue pipe. The question is, when the man comes to empty the tanks should he suck out each tank individually, or as the tanks are connected, will sucking out just one tank do the job.?
  8. Not only in Thailand. The Blackwall tunnel under the Thames in London is notorious for over height HGV's getting stuck despite the many warnings leading up to the entrance.
  9. Well that just about answers it. Thanks ????
  10. So is the whole can full of HFC-152a and that is what comes out, or is it jus a propellant for the air? Either way still does not explain the difference in air produced between the two cans. Could it be air molecules are smaller than HFC-152a and come out faster?
  11. Wat! the bug cans? Obviously bug cans have the bug stuff in them and this is sprayed out by the propellant. So theoretically there is even less actual air/propellant in one of those than the capacity on the tin, which makes even more of a question why I'm getting so little air out of my homemade air can. As for the shop bought can I don't know how that works. I assumed that it was just full of compressed air.
  12. Following an idea on YouTube I soldered a bike valve stem into an empty bug spray can to make a can of pressurized air for general dusting use. I pressurize the can to about 75psi and it works quite well with good blast of air coming out of the nozzle. Problem is the air only last a couple of seconds before the can is empty and has to be refilled again. My can of compressed air is 600ml yet a can of air from the shop which lasts a long time and gives may blasts of air is only 220ml. How come the can from the shop with less than half the air lasts so much longer than my home made air can ???? What am I missing ????
  13. An easy way of removing tree stump is not to cut it right down to ground level. Trim off all the branches and top of the tree but leave about 6ft or more of the trunk still attached to the stump. The idea of this to to give leverage when digging out the roots. Dig around the tree and chop or cut the roots as they are exposed. As the first layer of roots are cut the trunk will become unstable and you can move it from one side then the other cutting the remaining roots that are still attached. Keep going round the base leaning the trunk till enough roots are cut for the trunk complete with roots is pulled from the ground. You can use the car or some sort of block and tackle to help lean the tree trunk in the various directions to expose more roots for cutting. A block of some sort placed near the base of the trunk can act like a fulcrum to lever the roots out while pushing down on the other end of the trunk. Looks like too late for Crossy but might be useful for next time. I saw this on YouTube and it worked for me. Can't find the link now
  14. What do you call a camel with three humps? Humphrey.
  15. A couple of advantages for a retirement over a marriage visa is that 400K less the wife can run off with, and you won't have the extra agro of suddenly finding yourself with the wrong visa. Another advantage of having a retirement visa is you can just walk out the door and go and live on the beach, without any visa worries.
