That’s called survivor bias, how about you come back and let us know when you die and what you died from so we can make an objective evaluation.

Owl, I think adding juice to alcohol is called cocktails, wine (as you well know) is a different beastie. Ive never been turned on by fruit wine (other than grape ????) or beers.

Brake failure…

Thai ladies… ????

So, old dogs (Owlhounds ?) can learn new tricks !! Im impressed Owl, well done ????????

Daily travel and more to the point traffic congestion would also be my biggest concern.

It would seem that you are also sampling the water that has been sitting in the tank ? I’d have thought that filling as directly from the bore as possible would have given more exact results ? ie, run the pump to pass the water that that had been resting in whatever length of pipe applied and then fill your sample bottles.

It’s more like a 3m wide hallway…? If it’s the one I’m thinking of. I used to get street food from the Soi adjacent to Taipan nightclub, nice simple, cheap Thai food and the girls used to come offstage and head straight outside to get a feed as an added bonus ????

I hadn’t noticed the chinese with big gold necklaces, beware the ladyboys ! ????

Vaccination, such a burden… ????

How big do these things grow Owl ?

Why don’t hackers and malicious types use vpn’s ?

Thank you Owl and other contributors for the entertainment. ps Owl I’m getting your rain, only 28mm so far today but it’s just started up again. The past 3 days have yielded 98, 102 and 104mm !

23.1613 on wise right now… ???? W⚓️

I do hope you're licensed to provide such profound financial advice, you might be wiser to solicit via PM... ????

Thanks for the heads up adum, I’ll kill myself now to avoid the rush… ????

Have you spoken to Ting about your nut problem Owl…? ????

An Indian and his gold chain are easily parted… ????

You two bird brains… ????

“Textured” might be the word you’re looking for ? “Sandpaper” finishes are dreadful to clean.

All too common. But bear in mind that it goes a bit deeper than “shiny is slippery” polished porcelain for eg is actually a more open pore structure then the standard matt finish and as such is surprisingly slip resistant. Lapparto finish or semi polished is also good.

Hasippi Rd… my wife has just explained to me it is Haa Sippi Rd, 50 year Rd she says. My wife and I have been to a seafood restaurant up on that Rd a couple of times, good food and a great view over Pa Tong. One night we took a couple of my farang mates up there along with a couple of her friends and a driver they knew, Toon. The lady that ran the place was a great hostess and at the end of the evening we retired down to Bangla Rd, the girls took us to a bar on a side Soi called “<deleted> Bar” same hostess… ???? The first time my wife took me to the restaurant on Haa Sippi Rd she made me dismount her scooby and walk down the bottom part as it was too steep (she’s very cautious on the bike) I ran that road a couple of times and going down the other side was crazy treacherous, just running !! Im looking forward to getting back over. Edit the bar name was an abbreviation of “blow employment”

One more time, just for those with an inflated opinion of themselves and their opinion… Youve used “MrFixit” product, maybe twice… great for you ???????? And “Flintcoat” !! WOW, you are awesome. Why don’t you tell me how many 20kg drums of “Ardex WPM155” you’ve used ? I have used HUNDREDS, and counting its predecessors it would be one thousand plus 20kg units over my career. I an an active professional ceramic tiler of 40 years, my then state based waterproofing licence was number 016. The product I recommended as my second choice solution to the OP’s problem “Ardex WPM300” is a product I’ve only used once, as in my line of work it’s a specialty product. I’ve read many of your posts and on many subjects you are very knowledgeable but I dislike your self presumed superiority to everyone else. Have a nice day ????????

Personally, I’d still prefer the guttering method, but appreciate that it may be hard to work with your neighbour. Good luck ????????

You’re an extremely infuriating man Jerome. The OP stated that the mortar joints of the blockwork are poor. Thats number 1 ingress point for water. It sounds like the wall is 2-4m wide and the space from the neighboring wall is 200mm, so how about you let us all know how you propose to fill all those mortar joints prior to applying the paint or other membrane ? If the joints are not sealed water will penetrate the blocks and any coating you are thinking of will peel and blister because of the moisture coming in, be it a paint/coating on the inside or outside… which is why I recommended the product I did, because it’s easy to apply from the accessible interior of the room and it will not be affected by any moisture, damp or water. In fact it can be applied to damp surfaces. Now if you need any further education on the product and why it’s fit for purpose I’ll send you my payID… have a good night ????????
