There’s probably 15 in Otop, 1/2 doz in Bangla and a bakers doz in Nanai, how many do you want ?

Mrs HP says that mums electricity is 4-500 baht a month. How many beer fridges and Aircon’s are you running Owl ? Or has the neighbour slipped an extension lead through the fence again . ????

Seems reasonable… ????????

Absolutely correct ???????? im wondering about OP’s next thread “Should I eat banana pancakes ?” Or “Should I drink the bottled water in my bar fridge ?” ????

Definitely not.

If it can’t be predicted, measured and replicated it’s Hokus pokus in my book Owl and adult women prove my point…

Australian Sceptics Society tried to organise a “competition” years ago offering a cash prize for the diviners who could detect water in buried pipes… It was a manifold of parallel pvc pipes controlled by solenoids with obviously double blind testing, no takers… My bore whisperer was telling me that you can even use your “old fella”… he is an old bloke, it might be the only exercise it gets… ????

Mid dry here in Darwin Garry. When I left on Wednesday morning the driller said he had 2-3lt/sec but might be there all week trying to clean it up, then said he might go deeper… 2 hours later he sent the above video, the key here is not always depth, it’s stopping at the right place, Dolomite being the preference (he extended from about 50 to 56m) The bore I replaced had 5lt/sec @56-58m when drilled, but dirty water. They went deeper to 107m but went through the Dolomite and found nothing and ended up making do back at 56-58m… but the bore was always problematic with possibly sabotage as well. The crazy thing is that this new bore is only 10m from the old bore… ????????‍♂️

Almost TG. I have a bore whisperer on hand… and yes he walked around with a couple of bits of wire and then a plumb bob, and eventually settled on “The spot” In spite of my skepticism he got the result.

Here, hear ! We need TBL back on the job to ensure this thread doesn’t degenerate back into a soccer thread again ! ???? We need Big News, leaning trees, pond levels, Avocado seedling status and with some degree of trepidation, DIL/SIL/all bloody inlaws updates too ! To get us back on the right path, here’s a video that was sent to me by the guy who drilled a new water bore for me last week. I haven’t struck gold but close to it !! IMG_1620.mov

Someone did it… ????

My death will happen when it does, I’m more concerned about my quality of life until then… A friends father passed away 12 months ago aged 90+ hadn’t been to a hospital for 30+ years and was on no medication, he died in his sleep. Wheras my mother is still going but with dementia, I know which I’d prefer…

To the words outa my mouth ????????

Roof drainage in the outside kitchen ?

Can you add me to please ? TIA ????????

Mrs HP is also terrified of “Doom Dum”, like you guys I also love ‘em ????????

Chinese cells… ???? It looks nice and neat @carlyai????????

That's why I didn't offer any... One of the reasons people wanted more information was because what happened to you doesn't happen very often. You were given advice but up to you to accept.

But you can appreciate that right from your first post on this subject people were requesting such information in order to help you help yourself ?

Someone alluded above about frequent comings and goings being frowned upon. My wife got her prospective marriage visa in 2019 and within a week of landing in Darwin she found out her father had terminal cancer. She returned to Thailand with a backpack and some underwear, nursed him for 4 weeks, burned him and returned after 6 weeks out of Oz. Coming back into Darwin (again with the backpack and underwear) they held and questioned her for 2 hours ! I was sitting in the arrivals lounge and no one notified me or spoke to me to clarify why she had travelled as she did, really poor form by immigration.

As mentioned the holiday visa will need to be sponsored, and by you personally is better than by your business. Again as mentioned the visa will state no work and no further visa application in Australia (must return to Thailand) Aussie gov also want to see evidence that she will return to Thailand if on holiday visa, long term employment, care for children/mother etc, owning property etc. If you’ve been married 11 years I’d expect a permanent visa to expedite. I assume you must be able to show multiple and regular visits to Thailand with truckloads of pics of you two together with her family, at temples and doing tourist things etc ? Why hasn’t she been to Australia before though ?

I was wondering if you got to choose or had to take the one they offered…? ????

You are perfectly correct, green is the color you turn when sitting in traffic surrounded by your ICE vehicles, mmmm ????

Deny, deny, deny...

They got the spelling wrong though C I d e r V i n e g a r ????????‍♂️
