Yeah, the green stuff needs special kit to melt-weld it, can't be glued.

 

You can get push-fit PPR fittings that don't need welding, but I've not used them so no idea how good they really are.

 

It may just be best to find a plumber with the right gear ????

I was a product manager for Wolseley for many years. I remember when these pp systems first arrived in the UK, the first time I saw it there was a guy from a German outfit called Polymelt.

The guy spent several minutes trying but failing to give us a presentation on how to make joints, it was completely embarrassing.

We eventually conducted a trial with it but they lacked the resources to make it happen and we returned it.

MLCP is the way to go, bu I’ve not seen it here.

Anyone seen the new incarnation of Criminal Minds yet? First episode was a couple of days ago.

Face.

 

I have seen red plates still on a car after 3 years........people think that the owner has a new car....

Ha! There’s a cop car near me that hasn’t had any plate at all for longer than that.

I know where Sukhumvit 101 is .

So do I, it’s where Mrs BM used to live before she became Mrs BM.

This is the part I have trouble with...These farmers are struggling year in, year out. To stop the burning someone has to offer an alternative that doesn't worsen their burden. Easy to blame farmers from the balcony of a house that is worth the lifetime earnings of one of those poor sods.

Yes, many farmers do struggle, but even among those there are many (I’d say the majority in my area) who have chosen to stop burning and those who choose to continue burning.

Rice farmers were making a fortune during Yingluk’s dodgy dealings and many could have built something similar to our humble abode if like us they don’t smoke, drink, gamble or have Mia nois. We certainly couldn’t have built it if we had <deleted>, smoked, gambled or shagged our hard earned money away.

Thus Spake the Entitled Farang.

Nonsense. You're clearly part of the problem. I'd say a large number of farmers locally have stopped burning - are they "entitled"? I would say not, I'd say they were acting responsibly and those who carry on regardless just don't care, but hey, you just keep making excuses for them.

Did you forget the topic in your angry rant? I assume its something about burning. 

Well done you.

They may have children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters living in Bangkok, they certainly know the damage they cause but they just do not care one iota.

This is half a kilometer from the PYB’s house and a few hundred metres from the local school and temple.

No prizes for anyone coming out with the “they don’t have a choice” line as anyone who believes that for a second is part of the problem.

 The video was taken a few minutes ago in Suphanburi province.

I have been following this thread now for just a few months. It's given some good as well as bad recommendations for series and movies.

 

I used to dl torrents and currently have about 12Tb+ loaded on my NAS but have opted to stop storing them as I only occasionally go back and re-watch a handful.

 

The problem that I used to have was remembering if I had watched something before or not. However years ago I dl an easy to use app that provides a controlled db for all. It's called EMDB. Does anyone else use this?

 

https://www.emdb.eu/

I don’t know about EMDB, will have a  look. I have a lot of programs saved and I have them all listed on an Excel spreadsheet, which works for me. I add the date of next episodes, new seasons and shows, with colour coding for the relevant genre/box.

My payment receipt for this application was stamped with the date 12 July as my return date.

My return (to immigration) date is tomorrow. I phoned them this morning and they said I could come and get my extension stamp in my passport today, which I did. In and out in two minutes.

One of the many joys of living in Suphanburi is the immigration office, always polite, helpful and efficient.

Did my extension based on marriage on Tuesday, a junior officer checked all of our paperwork and glued our pics to A4 for us then ushered us inside to another IO who quickly processed it.

I always ask for up to date documents and a checklist on my last 90 day report before the extension is due.

Yesterday we had our home visit which was quite brief, amicable and efficient. We’ve never been asked for any illicit payment.

All good up to the last sentence. A Thai living in the UK for a fraction of the time I’ve lived here wouldn’t have to apply for any extension of stay, they’d have been granted citizenship years ago!

Series 2 of 'We Hunt Together' reportedly started on Alibi last week, although I haven't seen the first episode appear in the usual place as yet. Trailer is from the first series.

"A gripping twist on a classic cat-and-mouse story, Eve Myles, Babou Ceesay, Hermione Corfield and Dipo Ola star in our brand new psychological thriller. We Hunt Together explores the intoxication of sexual attraction, the dangerous power of emotional manipulation, and how finding a volatile form of solace in another can have dire consequences as two conflicted coppers track down a pair of deadly killers."

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here but I stumbled upon a French cop show called "Cherif [Shariff]". There are six seasons / 48 episodes. I've watched the first couple of episodes and quite enjoyed them.

"An unconventional and passionate police officer from Lyon, Cherif uses his own methods to solve crimes. He is paired up with a new partner, Adeline, who loves to stick to the rule book."

Regarding the final season of Better Call Saul, note that the thirteen episodes have been broken into to two groups, a bit like Breaking Bads' finals season.

 

Quite common these days.

I think that's a bit annoying but the seemingly ever increasing number of gap weeks in 'regular' type seasons is even more annoying for me. The latest example being when I looked for S09E19 of Chicago P.D. yesterday only to find it's not airing until the 19th of next month, four weeks since episode 18 and 34 weeks since the season opener on the 22nd of September last year. That's fifteen weeks where they've skipped episodes.

Since when is it the job of first responders to "determine the cause of death"? Surely that is a pathologists' job?

Perhaps the pathologist responded first?
