ELCB On Electric Water Heater (Shower) No Longer Functioning.
RayWright replied to Dmaxdan's topic in The Electrical Forum
Had similar problem. My Landlord's electrician said "common problem", he then proceded to disconnect the feeds in the main Condo Distribution Panel (DP), jumbled them up, then re-connected them. Must say, shower heater now working, however what's connected to what breaker is now a mystery. Had to create a new DP document. Bought a plug-in mains socket tester to assist in re-documenting the circuits, discovered that 87% of the wall sockets are wired back to front, i.e. the positive and negatives are reversed. Concluded that as Thai sockets are upside down (especially in my Condo block), the Earth pin is on the bottom compared to UK etc, which is on the top, they wire positive on the right, then install upside down! As has been reported many times on this forum, the use of colour standards is a myth, to quote P.G. Wodehouse and Cole Porter, Anything Goes. -

It's quite simple, Saskia Peeters and Nellie Keukelaar-van Rijsbergern as the Dutch translators did their job, I.e. translated from the English text into Dutch. Fault if any, is no-one checked. Scooby's comment, he had “never submitted a book that had their names in it” Would be true, as the article in question would more traditionaly be in manuscript form, not a bound book. So semantics. At the end of the day, who cares.

Fully agree with you @richard_smith237, the mature sensible thing, unlike the Gen Z'ders who would have photo'd it and put it on TickyTok and all their other platforms to increase their profile, without thinking of the negative impact it causes. Sent food back at Rick Steins in the pass, discreet and without fuss, much understanding on their part and rewarded accordingly. Same for Simpson's in The Strand, and a corked bottle of wine at the old Wheeler's in Soho. All this story of hair/hare has got me pining for civet de lièvre.

Have you checked your AV AIS device? What happens if you plug into your 50"? When you say switching off, then on again, do get the standby LED being illuminated, or just loss of picture? Just loss of picture would possible point at the HDMI connected device. Could it be thermal cut-off, how hot is the AV AIS unit?

Silica sand is available on Lazada, have you looked there? Make sure you suit up.

Moving and storage services? Failed marriage

Would recommend U Store It in Pattaya, run by Lee, who's from USA, so no language issues. Can do packing, transport and storage. https://www.ustoreitpattaya.com/ -
Use a combination of VyprVPN and ExpressVPN, so covered if any issues. Originally used as App on PC, ChromeBook or Android mobile. Recently moved to hardware type solution where VPN is loaded on my router, am experiencing 5 to 10 times performance, wish I had done this sooner, especially for the Rugby World Cup. Take a look at GL-iNet.

Gave up yesterday as taking more than 2 minutes. Today opening your OP was 6 seconds, so more acceptable.

Agree, Decafe coffee out here is as rare as Hens Teeth. Have seen the 1 odd jar in Big-C, Lotus or Tops@Central of instant coffee, but price is astronomical. Did buy a jar from M&S in HK recently to sustain my morning fix, can't remember the price, but was the same as the M&S normal instant. Friendship Supermarket by TukCom might be a go, else know anyone flying in from Blighty or beyond might be the idea?

Mea culpa. Meant to write Tom Bailey not Chris Bailey. Chris Bailey was the founder of The Saints, another great band.

I reckon it was all a publicity stunt. They used a low resolution camera in a darken room. I know Banking laws were different back in 1995 in terms of how much you could take out. Couldn't do that in Thailand as you'll be up on a 112 charge.

He was a winner on NZ's New Faces in the early 70's. Absolute party animal. Settled around Mullumbimby, unfortunately killed in a car accident just over 30 years ago. Great shame.

Alannah Currie was born in Auckland. Did return to NZ after she married Chris Bailey in 1991 when the Thompson Twins were a duo. Couple of kids. Gave up music and moved into glass casting in Auckland. Divorced Chris in early 2000's and moved to UK. Lives in London and currently married to Jimmy Cauty of The KLF.

Had a few albums, Generation X, Blonde Parallel Lines, Free Story signed by Andy Frazer ( knocked on his door when he lived in Ealing), plus God Save the Queen signed by a Mr. J Lyndon. Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and the original Simple Minds all on UK £1:00 notes. All gone in house moves. My dad when he was teenager use to door step the theatres and sport grounds in and around London in the '30s, in fact sold his old books at auction in June. Arsenal, Surrey CC, Noel Coward, John Gielgud, Vivien Leigh to name but a few. One item I've still got is the 1956 Australian Cricket team, incl. Richie Benaud on a miniature Gunn & Moore bat. Australia played Singapore in an exhibition match whilst they were on their way to India to play a Test Series (AUS won 2-0, 1 matched drawn). -

Starter for 10 would be Fortune Town by Rama 9 metro station. 4 Story mall dedicated to IT, Mobiles and Cameras. -
Does depend if you're trying to keep sound out or absord sound on the inside, say for a music room / recording studio. Could you elaborate at bit more on what you're trying to achieve?

Severe Arabic insult. May your mother die in the belly of a pig.

Famous Arabic insult, has also started the odd war. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your mother's armpit.

What is your favourite British Cuisine?
RayWright replied to Chris Daley's topic in International Food
Resturant is The Shish Mahal in Glasgow, formerly on Gibson Street, now on Park Road. Shish Mahal translates as Glass House. Now run / managed by Rashaid Ali, whose 3rd generation owner. Also my former squash partner. Highly recommend their pakora.
