#Mybutthurts ????????

Stick it up em, wave it around and then slap their silly faces with it ! But you can keep Bangkok to yourself. Keep up the good work Rooster ????????

Hope MiL is ok and Mrs Owl is distracted enough that you can carry out your cunning plan Owl.

It can help no doubt. Small tiles equals more grout per square meter, generally speaking tiles don’t get very dirty the grout is however sandy and porus and is very prone to discoloration. Soap or detergent build up over time also holds dirt and grime.

The pendulum test used is great if you are a pendulum using the same rubber composition as the test box… Sure it’s a standard, but its limited in what it does. Its a bit like clothing being labeled S, M, L, XL, sure it’s a guide, but some garments I’m a M and some I’m an XL…

People have a fear of shiny tiles being slippery, when actually the surface of a polished porcelain tile is quite grippy to the point that an electron microscope shows that the polishing process actually opens the tiles pore structure and these tiles are more prone to accumulating microscopic grime more so than the exact same tile unpolished. It’s counter intuitive, but it’s true. The other variable is the composition of the foot ware material, the rubber compounds. My local shopping centre in Australia recoated the concrete outside the complex last year. My thongs (footware) are a foam type and the old floor coating was terribly slippery, as were painted lines on the road, treacherous in fact. The new surface was brilliant for me… everyone else wearing rubber “double pluggers” were slipping over like nine pins !! To the point where I witnessed an amputee slip and damage the only knee he had left, poor <deleted>. In short there’s a lot of variables in slip resistance, as mentioned, bring some home and throw water on them and see how they feel to you.

I recommend that you further your reading… I suspect that you have confused CO and CO2. CO is a byproduct of combustion, ie LPG. CO2 is used to carbonate beverages. Both are colorless, flavorless and have no aroma, hence the danger they pose in confined spaces.

The more slip resistant (esp textured) the more difficult to clean, mop etc.

just gangsters being pals with gangsters

Geez Owl ! That is 1 bloody STONKING snail !!

Obviously your english wife lacked the Thai appetite...

They are indeed fine specimens Owl, any idea how long those snails live ? Now having said that, let me say this, a hearty congratulations to you for sharing the past 3 years of your life with us all, its truely a pleasure to revel in someone elses mundainity ????

My experience also. Other times they don’t want to make a booking in person (Patong, seriously !) and ask you to book online. ????????‍♂️

You say you’re “Rooting for him” so why don’t you cut out the middle woman and give him his 30k Baht directly ?

Didn’t I read that fearless leader had spoken re the Baht/$ value ? Surely such authority should be enough for mortals like you and I.

Ohh, dear… Be careful, I’m sure Mrs Owl is well capable of connecting the dots when her man starts stockpiling crabs and snails.

I suspect he’s talking of the people, not the one in the chair. Another lovely read Rooster, thank you.

Fringes of all types are to be avoided at all costs ! Any news of the HatLady ?

Yes, I’d be unhappy if she wasn’t sharing or at least paying back my 30k Baht.

Now 4992. I see what you’re up to… Congrats soon.

Beware the lunatic fringe Owl, but do as you will.

But he can send the pics and her number to me by PM ????

Thing with guppies is that you only need 2 and you end up with an army ????????

OP search “Columbia” outdoor/fishing clothing. They’re lightweight with breathing panels built in. Not cheap but there are clones around.
