I bought a cheapish 5/8” x 15 m hosepipe from Mega Home about 3 months ago.

It is in direct sunshine quite a lot and expanded and started to slip out of the nozzle fitting under pressure.

It has expanded so much that I cut a short piece off another length I have ( not in direct sunshine ) and it fits inside the expanded one, giving me a better grip when tightening the nozzle.

Still works okay.

Sorry, not much of a moral to this story [emoji20]

just like to share.

Merry Christmas [emoji319]

Rumour has it that Trans was downtown Khon Kaen trying to return some “ second place again “ T shirts for a refund !!

Whoa there Trans as the saying goes :
“ it’s not over till the calorie challenged lady sings “

Go Toon go !!!

Nothing but admiration for this fella !

I just returned from the cinema. I guess the best I can say about the movie is that I didn't walk out. At least they still have the original music and that brings back memories from a long time ago and the original 3 movies.
A week or two ago I checked RottenTomatoes and they had a score of 92% and that motivated me to go and see the movie. I just checked again and the audience score is 52% liked it - that sound more realistic.
Summary: If you want to see some good special effects then go. If you expect a good StarWars movie like 30 years ago (I checked, the first movie was released in 1977) then forget about it.

Still, I observed every Thai motorcyclist on the roads of Krung Thep had a jacket to protect from the cold though some had forgotten the edict about helmets to protect from that other more permanent inconvenience, death.

Now this made me laugh out loud !!!

Strange how the truth can be so funny at times .

Colin - You have won an all expenses paid New Year's break to the destination of your choice. Meet me in aisle 6 at Tesco this evening to collect. Come alone.

and word has it that DSD likes to come from behind!!!!

I always thought thought that Transam meant he was Trans in the morning and straight in the afternoon !!

Still not sure [emoji848]

It's usually around the 23rd that the dirt diggers begin to unearth, so fasten your chinstraps .....

Hope they are Terriers !!

 
It was OK for me at lunchtime and it seems OK at 10.30pm this evening.
 
 

Or Hutch19 ?
( then the dog can lie about his age as well ?)

Hutchy !!

So many questions .....
 
The line is more than one week away .....
 
Many "contenders" stoop to low levels in order to even gain a single place in this hotly contested event.
 
Always expect a last minute flurry, as passports are grabbed and flights booked.
 
Victory ensures absolutely nothing, other than the fact that you narrowly beat trans!

And.....

I went there once. I was invited into the home of one of the locals who introduced me to his wife and daughter. There was only one woman in the room...

A couple of utterly bleak songs- It's just cold spells always gets me singing the line here - It's so cold in Alaska though the song is not about the weather
 
[/url]  What a melody through utter sadness.
 Hell, need something cheerful after that. Here's Nigel with some more pearls of wisdom.
 
 
 
 
 

I use my Winn cycle foot pump for the motorbike, has pressure gauge. I noticed in Mister DIY they have a good selection of floor pumps with gauge for circ 250 baht which will work fine
 
 

I try not to think when eating, yeah this is kind of gross... but when i think of all the times that i ate something i probably should not have... this doesn't phase me as much...
 
i mean if you ever ate a bowl of cereal there is probably a good chance that there were rat droppings in it or something equally as gross.
