I'm old as well, had a very bad night as I stopped taking the Tramadol, I went about 9 hrs without then the pain started back, headache from hell, took 1 tablet this morning at 6am it's now 10.15 the pain and headache has almost gone.

I can't afford to keep going to Hospital when nothing is found, I'm happy to keep taking the Tramadol and be pain free, I don't like taking it but it's something I have to do.

Did you see my comment?

Have you tried any Bone Density scans, standing up?

This could (it did in my case) show 'hot spots' or areas of calcification in the spinal joints.

Standing up puts the back discs under load and with me, one of the discs they were hoping to save, just collapsed when standing up but not so bad looking while lying down.

60% of GDP is not big by international standards, neither is 70. 

Yes but it should be paid back as you lose 60% of your money.

With no holes to did in the ground for minerals, where does the continuing money come from?

If I was a young guy I'd live in the Ramkamhaeng [University] of Bangkok area.

And proctor the GMAT exams. 🙂

No overseas or foreign borrowing/debt, all denominated in THB, smart.

I think if debt is more than 60%, that's not real smart.

How can they pay down this debt?

I have a 2014 Honda CRV, that I upgraded the entertainment consul to a Zulex brand, that uses Speednavi V4.0 GPS software.

I can't seem to be able to get to their site: www.speednavi.com to buy a SD card map upgrade. My GPS has stopped working.

Any thoughts?

I can/do use my phone GPS, but I'd like to get my big screen on the entertainment consule working with the GPS.

I think gov. is fiddling as yesterday both my True and 3BB had domain problems like before. 

Maybe something to do with VPN's.

Me thinks someone has been fiddling with the internet. 

A couple of days now, trouble with my Aus vpn servers.  VPN provider said no problems their end, 3BB said no proble. Their end, but seemed to be a domain problem. Gradually cleared today now back to normal.

Big Brother playing around again?

Solar panel only arrived. No pump etc so sent it back.

Maybe try to design myself after a bit of reading.

So thinking about a 12v pump and a 20v O/C panel into an MPP controller. More reading.

Actually that's a story in itself.

I lugged this bloody big satellite dish and a receiver back on the plane so my misses could watch Thai TV (before YouTube was invented) and asked the local installer to put it up for me.

He said "You do realise that Australia is in the Southern hemisphere?"

Apparently I would have needed a tower 2000 feet tall to get reception.

I had/have one of these 3m satellite dishes that I used then.

The problem was Aus. changed the satellite they used to broadcast from and went to a satellite that was 'over the horizon' (no line of site) therefore you couldn't get reception in most parts of Thailand.

Feel older now. 🙂

And how many times have they installed new drains? To many times to count...

It's nothing about counting the times drains have been installed, but the trickle down economy. 🙂

I remember, when I was a lot younger and less aware, getting a haircut, in Hua Hin, from a Ladyboy. I didn't know she was a Ladyboy because all I could see were the great boobs, but it turned out the german sausage poking into my neck and shoulder was the giveaway and a bit disconcerting. I never went back.

Chicken.

Can you explain this a bit more please, with respect to 0.7 V forward bias.

awesome - thanks.

I used to (7 years ago) get mine cleaned at the last petrol station on the left, just before Sukumvit Rd on Teprassit Rd. 

If you're in Kuchinari I know where to go. 🙂

They were still digging up beach road. 🙂

You have to find a place that doesn't hit the engine with those high pressure water hoses.

The last concrete work I had done (an equipment pad) they used a vibratory screed. What do you guys do, hire the motorcycle taxi guys? 

When we moved to Darwin as a whippersnapper, they gave us a choice of elevated new houses all built except for cement and lawn. So all of us working on the new Radio Australia Cox Peninsular commissioning took turn in house concreting and lawn planting.

We became very good concreters, lawn layers and drunks. 🙂

We already have driveway/traffic paint and the undercoat. Epoxy paint is what you refer to but it's not very good for outside because of UV. We had engineers from SIKA come take a look and they strongly advised against epoxy paint outdoors, The purpose of their visit was because I was looking for a  patching product to fill small pin holes etc. They said just go ahead and paint it as is and didn't have a solution for a smoother surface apart from resurfacing, which is not possible because of the height. We didn't have the discussion about concrete grinding because they were too busy trying to sell me their products.

 

From what I've read, a concrete grinder will remove about one sixteenth in a single pass and 50 square meters should take about 2 hours.

 

 

New rules for bathrooms in Aus, so my son had to grind down the slab already laid with the concrete grinder. Did a good job. Not sure how much (mm) he had to grind down.

Fortune River View. Although, as @maesariang said above, the Landmark is perhaps a better location, more central but does not have a pool.

Thanks. Yes we ended up booking there.

We used the Agoda platform to book as direct booking with the hotel was about B800 more per night and Agoda have a B400 cashback as well.

Driving up from Kuchinari for wife's birthday and would like a nice hotel near the river with a pool and push bikes if possible. Near night time food/entertainment area. Around B1000/night. Thanks.
