And these phone apps really only quote the forecast for the whole province but just locate your phone to make you happy and important. -

Those were the days. (Glad it is not now) -

Actually they are quite good with their 2 day forecasts. If you look at (and understand) the TMD data available you would know why. -
Thailand to turn chilly for seven days from Tuesday
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
We had the annual "Overcoat" concert last night where Bangkok people pay through the nose to listen to "music" through to 4am and be cold. Unfortunately for them the temperature did not go below 20C. They have yet to explain why we can have loud music 5km from the speakers. Those close must have ear plugs. -
Aussie old age pension eligibilty question
GreasyFingers replied to Kenny202's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Things have changed then. When I was in my late 50's could not get a full time job with 3 different qualifications in NSW. Had to move to Darwin where they were available. -

Why get a job. Go on unemployment benefits and they will be happy to give you the OAP as you are not then a negative statistic. -

If you are an Aussie, just man up. Remember Fraser "life was not meant to be easy". -

Thailand needs a more proactive foreign policy
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
For an American, no. For the rest of the thinking world, yes. -

Your american view. -

GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thai foregone policy is to keep your eyes open, listen with your ears and keep your mouth shut. Very sensible. Pity this does not apply to so many other countries that like to stick their bib in everywhere. -
Aussie old age pension eligibilty question
GreasyFingers replied to Kenny202's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Good description of what is needed but all staff are not what you enjoyed. The interview officer I had looked and acted as if he had just came out of rehab. Totally useless and had to photo copy everything I had provided online that fortunately I had hard copies with me. He did not want to use at the digital copy. In the end he did not matter as the case was decided above him, even had one staff dropped from the case as she was sympathetic to my situation. -

As said above you will receive the pension while in Australia. As soon as you leave it will be stopped unless you have stayed in Australia for 2 years after first receiving it. Am not sure if that 2 years has to be continuous or can be aggregated going back and forth. -

And where does the polysilicon come from that converts the solar to electricity. -
Is it okay to tear the plastic wrapping of matress?
GreasyFingers replied to topswijaya's topic in General Topics
If the owner had read the instructions that came with the mattress he would know that the instructions say to take it off before using it. -
Chainsaw users - Do you have any recommendations? Brands to avoid etc.
GreasyFingers replied to PJ71's topic in DIY Forum
I have a Robota bought from the local shop. It appears to be a Stihl or nock off but a third of the price of a branded Stihl. It is a two stroke and I am like @Crossy when it comes to 2 strokes but this has been very good for 8 years. The local mechanic fitted Sthil parts when I needed a new chain and bar. -
Chainsaw users - what oil do you use on the chain/bar?
GreasyFingers replied to Crossy's topic in DIY Forum
Daiwa multi-purpose (chain) oil from the local mechanic. -
P Wong would feel right at home with them.

Moving Chanot Pegs Around
GreasyFingers replied to parallaxtech's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
I note that you are holding it in your hand. In that location it is useless, it is supposed to be in the ground, and longer than the piece you are holding. The Thai title system is based on coordinates. GPS has been around a lot longer than 2006. -
Moving Chanot Pegs Around
GreasyFingers replied to parallaxtech's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Those with the numbers stamped on them are put in the ground at the proper coordinates. Unless they are moved they mark the corner. Unless you are talking about the larger concrete posts that sometimes accompany them. -
Moving Chanot Pegs Around
GreasyFingers replied to parallaxtech's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
You need to brush up on your survey marks. I deliberately said chanote markers that are the round concrete markers with the numbers stamped in them. They may be accompanied by a concrete post. -

Except that it is illegal to move a chanote marker post.
