  1. Peace talks are a non starter at this stage, Putin wants to keep all the territories he has stolen, Ukraine will never agree to that.
  2. What do you think my name is Ozzy Osram?
  3. The last time I was in Big C getting served my weekly quota of sausages a Thai lady spoke to the assistant that was serving me and he immediately started to serve her, so at this stage I left the counter only to find he's following me around the aisles with a couple of kilos of sausages, at which stage I told him I don't want them anymore, I'm sure it still hasn't clicked with him why I snubbed his sausages.????????????
  4. Is it just me or does anyone else this is a very xenophobic topic or is it bash a Brit day?
  5. That is about a third of the price on Lazada, but having just checked iherbs website is paypal the only option to pay? Thanks
  6. I need to study it in greater detail as I watched it a while ago and came away without a informed opinion one way or the other, it was just pie in the sky but I put it out there to see what other members thought of his ideas and to whether there was any merit in trying it out. But thanks for your thoughts and feedback, appreciated. ????
  7. And after all that beating the dog probably just nonchalantly walked off.
  8. This guy makes some interesting points on how to navigate around certain obstacles.
  9. And with the pension being the lowest in Europe it like getting kicked when you're down.????
  10. I think there's an argument to suggest that it is the British government that is committing fraud.
  11. Forgot to add always weigh the ingredients and you will get the same results every time.
  12. Sugar is not required, flour has its own sugar in it. Tried bread machines, kneading by hand and a stand mixer, the stand mixer wins every time. Don't over yeast the bread as you will taste the yeast when baked.
  13. I use the White Swan flour, cheap as chips, about 34baht a kilo. 1 kilo flour. 640 ml water. 28 grams yeast. 16 grams salt and 30 grams of sunflower oil. What I do religeously though is to weigh the ingrediants on a scale as I've found using cups to measure is not very accurate. Mix/knead the dough by hand for 8 minutes but better still use an upright mixer if you have one for 3 minutes. Proper burger buns should weigh 80 grams but I make mine 100 grams. ????
  14. If bread is soft from Makro or else where for that matter it is probably full of preservatives. This lot cost about 50 baht to make plus the cost of the power utilised to bake them.
  15. Yet if Ukraine had been a member of NATO Russia would not have invaded, Finland and Sweden had no intention of joining NATO until Russia invaded Ukraine. I think it would be fair to say that nations join NATO to protect themselves from a Russian invasion rather than to go to war against Russia.
  16. Yes the bands are great, they can help in assisting in many exercises like pull ups and ab wheels until you get strong enough to do the exercise unaided.
  17. Weight training keeps your brain active and delays the conditions we are more prone to as we age (73). I have a Smiths Machine with barbell and weights but love my Kettlebells the most, they don't take up much room and can give a good workout.????️
  18. It is a banks job to handle peoples money and not to chose its customers on their political beliefs especially as the bank is in 40% public ownership.
  19. It is Russias war by choice and it is Ukraines war by necessity, Ukraine cannot afford to lose this war. Russia could walk away tomorrow and all that would be damaged would be Putins ego, if Ukraine stops fighting they lose their country and many lives.
  20. Xenophobic remark perhaps, all nationalities do stupid things, do you always single out the Brits, you should be ashamed.
  21. Can I just say I have spent 25 years as a HGV mechanic, have City and Guilds and went on to own a fleet of trucks with my own operators licence and CPC. I have fit more brake chambers than I care to remember. Each wheel station has a brake chamber fitted and incorporated into the chamber is a massive spring that keeps the shoes pressing on the drum and only air can release the shoes. So should you lose air when travelling the brakes will engage the vehicle, but where the system fails to operate as it should is when the brakes are not adjusted when they should be ie, operator neglect. In normal conditions the cam that the shoes are located on has reached its very maximum and when using the vehicle on hills etc the brake drums expand through friction and the shoes will lose contact with the drum and cause the vehicle to run out of control.
  22. Driving a vehicle obviously hasn't given you the knowledge of how air brakes work, you lose your air and the brakes will apply automatically, thus @Artisi is 100% correct.
  23. Nothing wrong with drinking in moderation, your liver will thank you later.????????????????????
  24. And "you don't understand" that the country was in stage 2 of covid rules, which meant that people couldn't socialise outside their households. Starmer is a liar, he said he that he couldn't remember A Raynor being there, surely someone with a mouth as big as Raynors he definitely would have heard her. I won't wait for your patronising excuses, I'm done with you. Have a nice day.
