  1. Yeh rainy season and predicted storms of course its raining.
  2. If you have a car you could buy an inverter, mine is 200w cost less than 600b laz enough to run TV 50w, floor fan, lap top and wi-fi. i use it regularly with power cuts and in the car should i need my lap top. (for those that don't know keep your engine running without a/c.)
  3. 70 yrs had my first shot of Pfizer, bit of a sore arm, but no reaction, I was told not to drink alcohol for 2 days, (only a moderate drinker) so ended up drinking coke both evenings, I had more energy than I'd had in a long time with all that sugar i presume.
  4. I repair most things myself, but when fans won't run correctly after a clean then buy new, just not worth repairing, I repair both my vehicles myself, unless it needs a hoist then i reluctantly have to take it to a garage, I say reluctantly bcoz basically i can't trust them to do the job properly and/or they break something else and have to keep watch while they do the job., even basic stuff like fitting new tyres. I recently got 4 new tyres fitted, and i was told the price included ALL service, I sat and watched as the tyres were fitted and wheels put back on, i sat quietly watching until all wheels were back on, then called over the lady and said they have not balanced the wheels ! "Oh we only balance the front" ''well even they weren't balanced and all wheels should be balanced ! " I took great pleasure in watching the guy having to remove all the wheels balance them then re-fit them. then made them adjust the pressure to what was on the door sticker, by the look of his face it appeared he had no idea that all cars had such a sticker. This was at a major Tire plus retail store ! But yes some are good at repairing stuff, i know a guy who re-winds motors on the footpath and is fantastic.
  5. Yet there he is on the 'sidewalk' in the photo but good on him.
  6. I just had to google it, stress can bring on high blood pressure, causing a brain haemorrhage otherwise know as a stroke. apparently.
  7. Didn't know that i'd sprout wings but Can't wait for that, but i'll try not to get to close to the Sun.
  8. Who on earth was responsible for this complete shambles ? Oh silly me it was all just a misunderstanding said no one YET. Showed the photos to wifey and yet once again in her perfect Tinglish said " they mucking fental " ????
  9. No worries she can go to Dubai and continue her profession.
  10. Not quite related but, on sending money from an OZ bank not using Wise, to BKKB, I got a lower ex-rate than their site, (twice) it transpired it had been sent to a thai holding bank where it was exchanged at their rate, then moved to BKKB. After calls and e-mails to the OZ bank they told me to put in the ''message to bank'' space DO NOT CONVERT FUNDS since then no problems. just saying.
  11. Did you actually get the first appointment via an e-mail from expatvac or a phone call ? asking bcoz a lot of people now only get a phone call.
  12. Same when i got a tv that stopped working, will take 3 months for manufacturer to repair, 3 months without a tv !! got it repaired myself.
  13. Is this news ? I thought this was all in the news 2 yrs ago then it went quiet till now.
  14. ''Deeply unpopular'' Despised would be a more accurate description.
  15. You are correct IF changing from marriage to retirement other way round not sure.
  16. In my car it seems to make any difference, same klm per litre, performance wise i don't notice any difference.
