The dark haired ones are more dangerous.

Yes, I've got the original vinyl of that one too. I hope it's still where I left it 20 years ago. Pretty sure I saw them in the early '70s at South Parade Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth.

The only Led Zep I ever bought was no. 2 and this was my favourite track:

I saw them in the early '70s at South Parade Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth. Can't remember too much about it! ????

I think I must've played it once. Sometimes, "B-sides" really were "B-sides". Dave "Fingers" Berry - excellent! Excellent! Excellent! A weird one, but OK. One of my "Tips for No. 1" that I used to make. ???? Brian Jones' guitar - brilliant. Nice! God-awful racket! Just a filler for the EP. ????

One of my first 45's. Still have it at "home" (where I haven't been in ~20 years.)

At Klong Beach Restaurant/Bar tonight: Breaded something or other. Tasted OK, but a bit small.

New batteries fixed it! 48 Baht from HomePro. The remote now operates from much further away. The DVM displayed the voltages as 3.24 and 3.25 volts, but that doesn't mean a lot. On the pack: Manufacture date 11/2021, expiry date 10/2026.

I remember having a DVM years ago that had the option to add a small load to the battery when measuring voltage so it displayed the voltage under load. That's what made me think that the old batteries weren't actually producing the power - amps - needed and that the DVM was measuring the voltage with zero load.

Yes, that's what I'm hoping! The "new" ones are probably the same age as the pickup - about 18 years. ???? I just scanned the back of the Panasonic battery pack... could be an expiry date of March 2017? I'm now wondering why I swap the remotes over every 6 months - I wonder if the salesman told me to do that! ???? I'll buy some "fresh" batteries tomorrow and report back whether (or not) the remotes work with them.

I've been using the same 2 remotes for my pickup for about 18 years. They both work. I keep one in the house in a cupboard and, every 6 months or so, I swap it for the one on my key chain. Yesterday was a "swap remote" day, but I also decided to test the remotes - see how far from the pickup I could stand for the remotes to still work. The result was about 4 metres. That's OK. I then decided to change the batteries in one of the remotes to see how much further I could stand away from the pickup. I have some spare Panasonic CR2016 batteries so replaced the 2 inside one remote with the two new ones. The remote didn't work at all. So I measured the voltage of the new batteries using my DVM - they are at 3.31v and 3.29v. The "old" batteries are at 3.05v and 3.15v. I put the old ones back and the remote worked. Again I put the new ones in and it didn't work. I also noticed that the new batteries produced a much dimmer light from the remote's LED. I'm now back to using the old batteries. Could it be that the "new" batteries don't produce the power necessary to make the remote work, even though the DVM shows them at a higher voltage than the old ones? I'm stumped! ????

I used to go to Dr. Sumit - opposite Makro in Phuket Town - Vichitsongkram Rd. Haven't been there for a while as I now get my pills from the Supercheap pharmacy. Do you just want a second opinion or did something happen with Dr Sumit?

Yes, that's where I got the packs of cod from. ????

I just got a call from 0632138985, the speaker was Thai, so I said I didn't speak Thai and he hung up. So I Googled the number: https://th.unknownphone.com/phone/0632138985 Seems to be a scammer, with lots of people getting these calls today:

Not sure what year mine was... late 60's Mustang Mach 1 351 Cleveland. If only I'd spent more money on a decent camera...

Good question and thanks for checking! I did see that one earlier, but wasn't sure the camera hole was in the right position. Still, for 200 Bt, what the heck - I've just ordered one!

I had LMG health insurance for one year - last year. Then I discovered that I didn't need it because of the rule about "the original date of the non-OA visa being before 2017". That cost me 11,400 Bt. The clue that I didn't need it was when I went for my extension last year, and the immigration officer gave me back the copy of the LMG health insurance certificate that I gave him with all the other documents. ????

At Tamarind Bar/Restaurant in Chalong Bay tonight:

Been there, done that. And AliExpress.

Oops! OnePlus 2: https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_2-6902.php

Good idea!

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. I can wait, but Lazada doesn't have the one for my phone, which is 6 years old.
