Looks good, just watched the 1st video, agree; plenty of detail. However would use raw plugs when fixing to the wall, especially if going into plasterboard. Video implied was screwed into the stub wall battens, however these aren't always 30cm. Seen wall cupboards slip if not fixed securely, especially in damp / humid locations. Also if packing the batten (wall not straight), I would use plastic packers, not cardboardy type as used in the video (damp/humid conditions, also splashbacks aren't necessary 100% water barriers (sink area). As you're the sparky, I take it you know the chased wall locations of cables, else use a stud/electrical/metal finder. Bosch are good. Good luck. Look forward to the finished pic.

Your description of "old beat up hard drive", implies not much capacity. If so, then copy data to a Google Drive in the USA, then access the Google account in Thailand to download. Simples.

Always remember John McVie's quote from the 2010 documentary on Mac. “But Songbird, for years we used to close the show with it and every time, stand in the wings and Mick would stand with me and we’d both get a tear. Uh, whether it’s ‘cause it’s a beautiful song or because it evokes memories, I don’t know…” There was a similar quote by John when the band were discussing a tour in the mid 1990's, "Don't mind touring, but I'm not standing in the wings every night crying my 《expletive deleted》eyes out while Christine plays Songbird". He lost the vote. I agree, such a beautiful song, and live especially, does bring a tear.

A tricky one. I've installed 6+ Howden kitchens over the years, and time and patience is best. Key is getting the overall design right so plumbing, electrical and gas services are in-situ before assembly. That way any drilling through the shells is under your control or logic, seen many kitchen fitters drill "their standard holes" for plumbing and waste services to big, which reduces the rigidity of the shell, plus looks unsightly. Also, (Personal preferance) you have accessable isolation switches for the key appliances. Standard in the UK, not so standard out here. Only isolation switch for my hob is the breaker in the DP! Top-tip, use a backing batten when fixing / aligning the floor standing units to the supporting wall. You'll need to notch the back corners of the units if they don't come notched for the batten. If you haven't got one, then recommend purchasing a multi-tool. Also a 2m (standard units 600mm, so 2m covers 3 units) level to stretch across your base cabinets to ensure they are level / in line. Also if installing granite / marble worktops, then ensure you have the shells built & leveled first, that way the counter tops can be positioned / installed by your worktop supplier. Had an issue on one kitchen, had to leave the granite tops off for a couple of days, when came to installing there was a crack, so consequently had to take the hit as wasn't installed by them. Also if installing a ceramic sink, then ensure installed with the worktop installers involved, again incase any cracks appear. The one job I do hate is the telescopic extractor hood. So try to get the electrican to do this. If you're tall, (ie you're personally going to be using the kitchen), ensure you have decent adjustable legs to raise the shell height, or be prepared to use blocks under the supports to raise the height. Would also mean you'll need a customised plinth board. I've found the local kitchens give be back ache after 15 minutes due to their low heights. Also ensure you install a P-Trap on the kitchen sick, nothing worst then hearing the gurgling of next doors washing machine or general plumbing. Personally, I'll do it myself. Great feeling afterwards of "I did this". Especially if you've installed under counter or in cupboard lights. Best of luck.

Would appear Global Warming has reached Spain as well.

Oppo phones are made by the semi state owned Guangdong Oppo Mobile Telecommunications Corp. Ltd, and as such their firmware is more "branded" than say, South Korea's Samsung. I would imagine your finding of no "UK" Region is intentional. As background there are a number of International copyright infringement cases going through the courts against Oppo. IMO, touching and barge poles spring to mind.

Would appear only 1 was originally made, but a second was under construction when the company went bust in 1980. The original working car was re-sprayed a couple of times to give the impression there was more than one. Both cars still exist, one in Saudi the other owned by a British collector. Or about £240,000 in today's money.

Remember seeing Alan White, formally of Yes driving his in Kingston-Upon-Thames in 78.

Perhaps rather than teaching English with English Teachers, Thai kids should be made to watch all 236 episodes (88 hours) of Friends. Apparently, you only need to understand 750 different words to comprehend 90% of all the episodes, or 4150 to cover 98% of the Friends vocabulary. See link for more details. http://herbsusmann.com/2020/08/04/friends/

This was UK Road legal, so should be good enough for the Soi's!

Lotus and Big C in South Pattaya normally stock it. Key part of the Saturday morning "Pick-me-up along with the stick of celery and a "Keith Floyd size" splash of Kulov.

Star Trek and Captain James Tiberias Kirk, there is only one song.... Although, Neunundneunzig Luftballons mentions the Captain as well.

Would recommend having a UK Skype number and if you can a UK mobile number. Pay £2:40 a month for 100 minutes of UK landlines, 0345 and UK mobiles. With increasing number of UK companies adopting 2FA (2 Factor Authentication) when accessing their services / websites, a UK mobile number for SMS messages maintains the impression of a UK presence. I use an EE PAYG setup and pay £5:00 every 3 months to ensure the number stays alive. Surposed to pay monthly, but as I'm not using the phone to make calls or send SMS messages; just ignore the reminder and Roaming messages they send me. No issues so far.

Are you using WiFi Calling on your Thai mobile? If so, suggest turn it off and try again. Had a somewhat similar issue last year, and down to issues/compatability/setup of the various Internet platforms the call is taking from the Internet based phone system and your mobile phone. My problem at the time was a compatability issue between Samsung S9 running V10 and July 2021 firmware and local EE Heathrow Cell linking via EE network via TeleHouse East whilst calling the Hilton in Bangkok (IP phone system). Changed to earlier Samsung S6 on V7 no issue, same Samsung S9 in Victoria the next day; no issue. Tried again back at Heathrow later that same day; same hangup on answer issue. Had the techies at EE and Samsung UK scratching their heads for days. Would appear issue was down to the local EE cell and their routing of the call, but could have been anything in-between.

FIFA just spoilt brats. Over the years, I've watched Singapore TV in Jahor and vice-versa, English TV in Holland, Spanish TV in Gibralta, and recently with a high pressure in the English Channel; German and French TV in Southwest England (Watched an amusing episode of .'Allo 'Allo! a couple of years ago from France). Cross Country propergation of TV signals has been happening since the 1950's. Similarly with Ham Radio frequencies, have spoken to Aussies, Americans (North & South) from London regularly. As many have said, it's all about the money.

On second thoughts. Thrust SSC 1228 kph. I don't think you'll get far, with 2 x Rolls Royce TurboFan Spey engines, you'll end up with more mopeds sucked into the engines than actually passing them!

Rimac Nevera 412kph. Is that fast enough?

Singapore, aka The Little Red Dot. Founding Nation of the WTO (World Toilet Organisation), with World Toilet Day celebrated annually on 19th November. (Don't forget to flush a public toilet after use, otherwise you'll be fined. .

The proper World Cup starts Friday 8th September at 21:00 (local time) in The Stade de France. With hosts playing New Zealand. Beer and Le Hot-Dogs will be on sale without any problems. Allez Les Bleus.

If he's from Mars, it could be Ziggy.

Sing-along in Thai...

Nah. It's Boris.

Which is healthier, Beer or a Cola? Beer any day, it has no fat or sugar (sugars turned into alcohol during fermentation), has fewer calories and less carbohydrates (admittedly a Beer is the same as a couple of slices of bread), plus Beer has more minerals. However Beer has no vitamin C, which if you remember from your early history lessons was why sailors got scurvy. Except the Brits, who were nick-named Limey's by our Amercian cousins. Conclusion, have a Lemoncello with every glass!

When working the night shift, just off Finsbury Sq., if we finished early, then use to go upto Smithfield market for a Traders full English breakfast and a couple of pints at 06:00 in the morning.
