There are many countries offering online degrees, Australia is one and the degrees are recognised.

If you get a Bachelor's degree from any recognised university, then it is recognised. We're not talking about working for an International School here. I think with a recognised degree from the Philipines, regardless of your home country, you could get a job teaching in Thailand.

No more temperature inversion.

I'd check with some of the schools in Thailand and make sure the schools accept the degree you are studying online. Also check with the online degree, you may be able to work on more subjects at the one time and finish the degree quicker.

carlyai isn't antiamerican. 🙂

It does and easily accessed. You buy an illegal satellite dish and stick it on your building wall, then an illegal (copied) receiver with changeable cards, so everytime the authorities block a signal, you change the card. The one year I was working there, non of these dishes I knew about were raided.

The West just got lazy; like the Greeks, like the Romans. It is/has been too easy for big companies to make huge profits by letting China do most of the Engineering work. Probably if you also look at the education system you may find more in the West graduate with these fluffy Buisness Degrees than graduate with Engineering Degrees. In the West, how many people work from home? You can't be working on a production line or in a factory making things if you're working from home. We are just lazy.

Probably not sugar but MSG.

And this is where they ALL stuff up. 7 billion and 3 billion in TARIFFS? Good on Trump to try and get rid of the deficit (if that's what this all is about). Just trade on your merits. 10 billion in tariffs. ????? These big companies, unions and politicians influence the law in their favour. Just try a bit harder and ban all tariffs. It's all BS and a RESET is needed.

You're hopeless. 🙂

ON ON

I was lucky enough to teach Chinese university students who had decided to study at universities in Australia. We lived about 100km from Bejing on a university campus with about 65000 uni students all studying different things. The first 3 months for everyone was military style training. Marching, PE, and general drilling. You could see on the vast parade grounds these students change from a rag tag mob into disciplined groups, all in step all moving to the same ThaiChi exercises. Seeing thousands all progressing was beautiful to watch. My main job was teaching Maths, but it's difficult to teach tallented, respectful smart people things that had already been drummed into them. Chinese youngsters are so talented and committed and their parents working around the clock to get their kids into the best jobs. Chinese can do anything and why they are so successful is no shock to me. The only small problem I had was during a Bejing chapter HASH run, where we had some problemed runners dressed in Tutus staggering into the Forbiden City. Police said we'd be arrested if we did that. All happy and we weren't (most of us) that stupid.

OK thank you very much. Quick sketch coming sooooonnnn. Will start another thread.

The NE bond is in the house CU. Remember the single phase diesel genset supplying the house 3 phases? Bit of neutral current, may be initially not the same as the phase current? Just my guess. I stuck an earth rod in for the genset but still intermittent whole house RCB trip. Disconnected it.

Just a note on 'all house RCB'. We installed one but everytime the PEA power failed and the genset started the breaker tripped cutting power to all the house. I think it's best to have individual RCB's where you need them. It's probably the way my circuit is wired, but still the problem with whole house protection breaker is you lose the whole house.

Before I had cash on delivery but this time I paid first. Maybe they try harder with CoD and B4500 but not if they have the money already. First time with this problem and first time cash given before goods received. Stupid Farang.

Speak for yourself. Speak for yourself. Did I just say that? 🙂

Went to the local FLASH mob and they checked the number which ended up nowhere, so they said the parcel has been sent back to China. I had my wife's old phone number in the delivery address, phone etc. FLASH said if you don't answer the phone or number wrong, then the parcel doesn't get delivered but sent back. Bugger.

I ordered some gear from AliExpress. They said they tried to deliver it (or their Thailand freight company Flash), but we weren't home, so now they say wrong address. I contacted the supplier in China and they said try the post office, but not there. So what's the use of the tracking number if no one knows where the parcel is or no one can tell me who the local deliver people are? Most of our parcels come via Flash, so I suppose a trip to their office is needed. BUT, why can't I find the parcel from the tracking number?

Yes....no governers are poor.

It's really to stop the sun if you want to go in for a splash or drunken beer with your friends.

No. The deep end is 4x3x2 approx and pool looses heat over night, so the lower water is cool. Pump mixes that water up, so only the shallow end is warm. It's not cold but OK.

I have 3BB fibre cable to the house. Fairly good reliable service. Combine that with a VPN (I use Express VPN) and you can get Aussie TV. I don't have a Smart TV so I use an Android box as my player.

@KhunLAthanks for correcting my pic. Did you do it with your hand phone and how? 🙂

@kwak250 Our pool was concrete pour (quite exciting really. Shutter boards only moved in 1 area and a small amount of concrete escaped outside the pool. Operator error vibrated the wrong part during pour). In-between the pour and Kerra tiles laid I decided to build a roof over the shallow end. You really need some pool shade. (Sorry bout the pic. Turn your phone upsidedown :().
