That looks like a very nice leg of ham without the bone ??

I meant the discs

Thanks

My view on that is if you do not have the training/ experience you shouldn’t be involved in electrical installation beyond maybe replacing power points etc. As we know electricity is unfoqrgiving.

Hi I am interested in views as whether you should have the front dic brake calipers machined when changing the dic pads if they are not damaged or scored. I am not worried about the cost but note it’s seems to be part of Ford’s scheduleh

The statement in your first paragraph is incorrect, I think you are confusing the changes introduced several years ago requiring the applicant to have resided continuously in Australia for a period of two years prior to making the application or residing continuously for two years after receiving the pension. For what it’s worth I know of two Australians who didn’t meet the above requirement and still receive the pension

Well it would seem there is a similar problem in other countries if you read the report handed down in New Zealand in recent days dealing with the neglect and abuse of individuals in institutional care many of the organisations run by the churches. A similar situation came to light in Australia several years ago after a far reaching enquiry again the worst offenders were the religious organisations The problem is nobody wants orphans, disabled people etc and it’s costly to look after them so the governments are happy to farm it out.

There is no shortage of places who supply electrical cables with the earth wire HomePro is more for the DIY person their plumbing supplies are the same.

I live 150kms north of Chiang Mai and it certainly can get cold more so in the hills I remember a few of years ago it didn’t get beyond 13 o C. For about five days. I am from Sydney and to me that is cold.

I think you are spot on with your comments, about a year ago a tree directly outside our house was struck by lightening, this resulted in the power board and some other component in one of our two washing machines being rendered useless. The laundry is outside and about twenty metres away from the tree neither were in use but both plugged in.

Don't they need a work permit to sell them?

If he is not seeking medical advice what is he seeking? A blocked nose and sprays don't work sounds like a problem to me.

Having today just returned from Sydney and looking at prices it would be a pretty low standard of living

I am in Sydney at the moment and yes the grocery stores are well stocked but whilst there is plenty of healthy yummy food it is far from cheap the prices are eye watering. On top of that Utility costs, transport,especially taxis, government charges and don't even contemplate a Thai massage. To be fair wine is considerably cheaper than Thailand and today I bought a Braun shaver today at a 45 percent discount. Glad to be going home to Thailand. PS I don't live on a Aus government pension.

What about Bovril in the UK Dame stuff but not for me however nutritious

With all due respect why would you seek medical advice on this site? You don't state where you live but in Chiang Mai you can see a specialist for about 600 baht consultation fee at Chiang Mai Ram and cheaper if you go to a Government Hospital. Surely your health is worth that amount?

I don’t know where you buy your cheap healthy yummy food at good prices. I am in Sydney at the moment and haven’t been back for several years, I was warned about the costs but find the prices eye watering. On top of that the utility costs, public transport, taxis etc and don’t even think about a Thai massage. To be fair the wine is cheap compared with Thailand and I have been giving the NZ Sav Blanc a hammering. Today I bought Braun shaver in a sale at 45% discount but the rest no comparison.

I have had dental work including crowns carried out in Thailand for about 14 years the standard is as good as my home country Australia and the work carried out in the UK for the few years I worked there. The only difference being that the female dentists here are better looking.

Chiang Mai Ram has its own dental clinic have never used but it but would be surprised if the standard is any less than the hospital which is excellent and myself and family have visited for years

If you think Thailand isn't value for money try visiting Europe and the UK where I was earlier this year or Sydney my home city where I am visiting at the moment. Costs are eye watering. It's not compulsory to live in Thailand so don't visit I will be happy to return.

Perhaps they should speak to their friends in Malaysia where they have a very efficient system. We went through KL earlier this week, the entry pass was easy and quick to download and install and straight through the gates. Unfortunately being Thailand they don't need help from outside.

Thanks Thanks for all the Info since found the leak it was in a line outside that I used to use to water the fruit trees had forgotten about the guy who cuts the grass had nicked it.

Meant to add causing the pump to run then stop

I have a water leak somewhere outside of the house ( I think) that is continually Has anyone had any experience with the leak detectors advertised? Or recommendations Thanks

We have an eight year old daughter she has had an account with the Bangkok Bank for a few years I think if you want to make a withdrawal it has to be carried out by an adult.
