As Jeff Beck once said, "I don't use wireless as it changes my sound". Various things to consider, Analogue or Digital, if you're using effects, then you might experience some latency. There's the famous scene in Spinal Tap when the local Taxi company comes through the guitar amp. This was based on an incident with UFO playing the De Monfort Hall in Leicester in the mid / late 70's. As KannikaP said above, unless you're the energetic stage playing type, i.e. it's about the show, not the sound, I would stick to cable. Even Nils Lofgren when doing his trampoline antics, still used a cabled guitar.

The great economist, philosopher, entrepreneur, conservationist, script editor and all round nice guy, Douglas Adams had this to say on the subject.... The Shoe Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of shoe shops the society has. The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer themselves up by buying themselves gifts, often shoes. It is also linked to the fact that when you are depressed you look down at your shoes and decide they aren't good enough quality so buy more expensive replacements. As more money is spent on shoes, more shoe shops are built, and the quality of the shoes begins to diminish as the demand for different types of shoes increases. This makes people buy more shoes. The above turns into a vicious cycle, causing other industries to decline. Eventually the titular Shoe Event Horizon is reached, where the only type of store economically viable to build is a shoe shop. At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world spiralling into ruin.

The Lamborghini LM002 from 1986 is the ultimate Lambo off-roader. Sly Stalone had one, nicknamed "The Rambo Lambo". Came with a 77 gallon (290 Ltr) fuel tank as standard. Basic model was $120,000 or 190,000,000 Lira back in the day.

Big-C THB400 all in, get 6 slices, and the cooking instructions are in French, so "Creme de la Menthe" to quote D Trotter of Peckham. Okay, admittedly it's frozen.

How are kids going to study The Bard, with examples of cross-dressing, murder, violence, domestic abuse, madness, racism, drunkenness to name but a few. I suppose also, that's the video of Chaucer's The Summoners Tale not being shown as well then.

Back in the days before the Euro...

The correct 500ml glass to accompany a ice cold bottle of Aspel's Imperial, the perfect balance for a Suffolk 8.2% cyder. Goes very well with a mild Stilton.

Not yet. Just done the weekly shop at Lotus, so 4 Moose ciders, plus 3 Changs already in the fridge and 4 Tonics and or Ginger Ales for Gin and Whisky whilst I watch the Miami Grand Prix. Don't say the result.

Was in KL over Christmas / New Year's and caught short in a thunderstorm just by Gleneagles Hospital, so ducked in until it passed. Passed the time by enquiring into costs, Basic private rooms were 250 Ringits per day (including food), or £40 / US$ 50 / AUD$75 or THB1700. Initial Consultation was 350 Ringits, follow ups was 250. Everyone I spoke to spoke excellent English. Don't know about Thai private Hospitals, but compared to BUPA in the UK, an absolute steel.

As others have said, using USB you can boot from that device. However, not all code / Apps are written to use the environmental variables, by that, as opposed to recognising what device or Drive letter you booted from, the software is hard coded to use C:\ for your boot / system drive, so if your old Windows hard drive is recognised as C:\ when you boot from your USB, then as the Windows directory structure exists, you might find Data & Applications are referenced or stored on that old drive. As OneMoreFarang says, if you don't need to access the old drive, then physically disable it (can be done in the BIOS) or remove it.

A Fax is still considered a legal document, whereas a signed / scanned document attached to an e-mail isn't. A Fax is encrypted end-to-end between the transmitting and receiving machines, whereas; an e-mail on the other hand will pass through any number of gateways / routers / servers before being opened by the proposed recipient, or not due to lack of end-to-end encryption. Having said that, the UK has passed a bill that will allow the 2 main carriers (BT and KCom) to withdraw the PSTN (old fashioned land lines) Network by 2025, so faxing to / from the UK will be obsolete then. In terms of addressing the security question lost by faxing, UK banks have introduced their own Secure e-Mail systems, so as a customer you can e-mail signed documents as part of the Bank's own e-mail system. Apparently 43% of companies in Germany still use fax as a means of communication.

For the UK, Google your nearest RYA (Royal Yachting Association) center. Various courses covering powerboats. Level 2 a minimum if you want to hire/ charter upto 10m. There are RYA schools in Thailand, so you could make it a working holiday whilst you learn the ropes.

Will be sorely missed. His clarity on Visa & Immigration matters certainly helped me greatly. Requiescat In Pace.

This is my favorite Tie song...

There's also Nansledan in Cornwall, which is just outside Newquay. Similar concept. As well as Trevethow Riel in Truro, which also includes the local Waitrose for selling Duchy products! Property isn't cheap mind, but both sites have affordable housing for locals.

RARBG and LimeTorrents covers my fix of Old/New UK / Aus or US TV series. 80%+ includes English Subtitles, else there are a couple of Subtitles websites (SubScene & OpenSubtitles) you can download them from. If using VLC for playback, then open the Subtitles file once you've loaded your movie. Or, if you're okay with computers, then use the MKVToolNix suite of programs to embed your Subtitles into a .mkv file, so you just double-click to play.

Could be a plastic water pistol, specially for Songkran?

Show 'em your scars.

Ah! Mrs Scaramanga, we have been expecting you. Do you have any unique personal "attributes" that could identify yourself?

Ah the dulcet tones of the analogue recording. Yep, more warmth and the artwork was always a must. Hours spent trying to decipher the inner meaning of the Scandi 1975 classic Nuclear Nightclub by Wigwam , Virgin Records (V2035).

I believe Sabine Schmitz's record in am unmodified Transit Van still holds at 10:06. Admittedly bits were removed, but no added performance advantages. Much more impressive.

Another thing to consider is; if the "Postal Service" you choose accepts mobile phones for shipping. Due to the fact most phones now have sealed batteries and the potential fire risk that might create when shipping. With prices in Thailand, I would go for a local purchase over shipping, unless you personally bring the phone out as hand luggage. Most airlines (ie Thai Airlines) don't allow mobile phones as hold luggage.

The Lavender Hill Mob, 1951 Ealing Comedy with Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway. There's that Madonna fight scene in the 2002 James Bond Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan, in reality stunt double Steven Paul. For a "heavier metal", then former silver medalist in the 1998 and 1999 World Championships and Team GB Olympic Foil champion and 5th place in Sydney 2000, then none finer than Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden fame. In terms of Alec Guinness then the Star Wars saga, after all Light Sabrering is a form of dueling!

I use KBank, so transfer (UK or Aus) using their HeadOffice Swift code. Quoting my account number, funds clear in my account within 5 or 6 working days.

Learnt my lesson last year, so scheduled a number of work events in the UK! Smug over a pint of Tanglefoot and Badger real ale, Beef and Guinness pie to follow with crumble and Cornish clotted cream for afters.
