Beating with high heels is usually a lady boy game. But this guy takes his beating and then still wants to argue! There's some daft blokes around.

4 Israeli men fined for causing chaos at hospital in Mae Hong Son
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
All the Israelis I've encountered in Asia (mostly Siam Reap) are single guys and girls that have just finished their national service and out looking for a good time. One I was chatting to, I mentioned all the guys were totally ripped, and the girls were a bit chubby, he said, "They weren't forced to run around with full packs like we were". The guys all seemed very pleasant, sitting around the pool chatting, they even rolled and gave joints to me! -
Solar panels fail after 3 years!
BritManToo replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
I'm saying nothing bad about them, just posting the video they asked for. On the other hand, the 2x 580W Rapid panels (mono, bifacial, split) I just purchased (1 @ 2,300bht, 1@ 2,100bht) are amazing and give me another 2-3hrs of o/p in the afternoon when my panels get shaded (approx 2pm). https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i5031706101-s21274917764.html (you need vouchers for them to get delivered for 2,100/2,300 inc) -
Solar panels fail after 3 years!
BritManToo replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Yeah, the 3x XinJing panels I started with in 2020 are still pristine, as are the Sun and SunPow panels. Just 2 of the 4 BlueTech, 1 badly corroded, 1 slightly corroded with no o/p, other 2 fine. BlueTech asked for a video to "show the light in use" Not sure how I can show something that doesn't work in use, but an excuse to post a video on Youtube. Not at all interesting .......... Did they really want me to post this? -
Solar panels fail after 3 years!
BritManToo replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Yeah, I just polished the lower strip of my other 8 panels, no3 and no4 also Bluetech, but no corrosion. Aluminium rails and borders all good as new This is the panel with no output at all, slightly corroded in that same corner. -

BritManToo replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
They were in a string of 10, the corroded bits were always at the lowest point, so would stay wetter after rain than the rest of the panel. Only ever cleaned with a mop and tap water. 3 years isn't that great a length for panels to last. -
Is moving to Cambodia really the end of the line?
BritManToo replied to Elvis Presley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, all good and much the same with minor differences. Why slag one off and praise another? -
British husband of the Thai ‘Lady of the Hills’ bailed - video
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
In the UK you can get compensation for unlawful arrest, depending on length of time held in custody. 3 nights in a holding cell got me 7,000 pounds. If they don't have a good case or it's unlikely the CPS will proceed, the police let them out ASAP in order to minimize the compensation claim against the police. I'm thinking there is no evidence, so they likely wouldn't have held him overnight, it's the number of nights that costs them the money. -
Trump’s mad, mad, mad, mad world—now with extra madness
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in World News
I'd like to invite Mr. Trump to take over the UK. Although Canada also desperately needs his help. Not sure about Greenland.- 203 replies

Noticed my solar inverter was charging the batteries a bit slower and my peak output had dropped. I had 10x 345w panels from assorted manufacturers. So I disconnected them all and ran them through a 1000w Suoer GTI one at a time. One Blueltech (3,300bht) panel had completely failed, 0w, 0A and it was dragging my string output down at least 350w, maybe more. Another Bluetech panel was severely corroded in one corner, but still seems to work (both purchased in 2022). Two other Bluetech panels appear fine, all the other manufacturers no problem. Glad my panels aren't on the roof, that would be impossible to check. Now in contact with BlueTech, asking if they want to do something about it (10 year warranty). Pulled the 2x Bluetech panels out, added a Rapid 580W (2,300bht) bifacial mono split. Back to normal. The 580w panel should only give me 400w as it's in a 345w string, which is what's happening. Bought another Rapid 580w for 2,100bht ......... prices on panels are the lowest ever. Battery now full at 12:30 (previously it was 13:30). Corroded Bluetech panel, it still works. This looks a little unbalanced.

BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
And mine (and abducted my 2 children and dog at the same time), I did try to report it to the police but the desk sergeant told me to "go away and grow some balls" This was in 2009, never seen any of them since, I really miss that dog. -

They're still not even sure she was murdered! "Although a post-mortem examination narrowed her death to a period of one to three weeks before her discovery, the precise cause remained elusive." -
I was under the impression Thailand embalms before shipping. Am I wrong?
-
I've always found this 'wanting the body' shipped back an odd idea. Hardly anyone buries bodies in the UK these days, it's always burn and urn. So why not burn it in Thailand and just ship the ashes?

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
BritManToo replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Have you had it out on your m/c in the bike holder? Phone overheating is almost always a problem with the phone case or holder. Have you tried your cheap phone without the cheap plastic case around it?
