The dummy starter is actually a fuse. Direct replacement of tube and old starter works fine. New led tubes usually come with the replacement 'starter'. Change both and good to go. Not so straightforward with the electronic starter fittings though. The whole fitting will have to be changed.

I met an alpha male once in Pattaya. A short bald American man. Stamping his feet insisting he was an alpha male. I laughed in his face and walked away. He neither deserved nor got any respect from me.

You're in Canada, dreaming of being in Thailand,enough said.

A great selling point by the Fluke rep at a trade show demonstrating thermal cameras was taking pictures of the girls there. Could certainly see hot spots!

None I have my own intelligence. I don't need an artificial one.

Thaksin will be the unelected dictator if this goes to plan.

See it's now changed to the Old Country

I thought across the pond referred to someone from the USA. Why would the British embassy be involved. Proof read your made up stories Rooster.

Thank you

Build a few hotels in the Orkneys or Falklands. Welcome to Britain, enjoy your stay.

There has been a research reactor in Bangkok for decades. And a similar research unit Australia in Sydney. Both are critical to make products in nuclear medicine amongst others.

As an alleged scientist, I'm sure you're capable of your own research into the commentary that rising CO2 levels follow a rise in temperature.

Ian Pilmer may disagree with your comments. I've also seen commentary that rising CO2 levels follow temperature rises and not the other way round.

I seem to recall that during the heydays of ISIS/ISIL one of the leaders ordered the faithful to do something that Mohammed had done and that was to invade certain places. I don't think the do called pull factors come into it. It was a religious order and the faithful are carrying it outthere is a term used for it that I cannot remember right now. Hajj, maybe?

No, of course I don't believe locally produced goods are cheaper. People will pay more one way or the other. I guess the question is does my more expensive purchase benefit, for example China, or my home country and potentially increase employment and manufacturing capability? And in the long term reduce sovereign risk in the case that a conflict occurs. Which is looking like a real possibilty in the not too distant future.

There is an alternative view. The consumer does not buy the now more expensive imported goods but buys locally produced goods. The real pain is felt by the exporting countries who effectively see their exports plummet. They feel the pain big time.

Is this a new persona Angry Bob?

Why? They use 747 freighters as do most airmail delivery services?

Nobody has mentioned flake aka shark. Great flaky white flesh. Very good eating.

600kW might be a tad oversized unless you are powering a village.

I've lived in the tropics for fifty years. No skin or stomach infection related to that annually or otherwise.

Cash is only one part of it. I lived on " Aboriginal land " in the Northern Territory for quite a few years.Want to take the kids to the beach? No problem - get a permit from the local Aboriginal land council. Want to drive to Darwin or someplace? No problem - get a different permit from another land council, but be aware it's only valid for three days and then another one is required. Nothing but official apartheid.

And it's the Poms who should be paying up. There weren't any Aussies involved in the alleged genocide.

It's always been about the money. The Aboriginal elites will rake it in and the average bloke will get nothing.
