  1. As far as I could see, not hear, he turned into the left lane to let you pass. Sorry no sympathy from me.
  2. Why beep at him? There was no impending collision he was simply waiting for someone to cross the road.
  3. That ban would only be needed for half the year. The weather looks after the other half of the year. 😇
  4. Which could have been leased to Russia for 99 years Hong Kong style and allowed them to keep their naval base.
  5. Back in the day I used to have a small/tiny blue light installed in the upper corner of the windscreen/shield pointing at my face. The concept was that the blue light kept my pupils contracted so that when an oncoming vehicle had passed my eyes did not have a delay to readjust.
  6. If one can afford a car and the plate; one can also afford an Alphard/H1 van and a driver when going out on the piss. No excuse. Although having the driver present if the lady is not your wife does add a layer of complexity.🤔🙈
  7. I am very sorry but if you don't know who you are you will have to accompany me to the station until we verify who you are.
  8. You can lead a girl to Vasar but you can't make her think.
  9. I doubt the guy is that smart but flying it upside down is a thought to be a sign of distress. If they were clever and thought the country to be in a state of distress they should all be protesting with them upside down?
  10. It is not illegal in the UK to burn a UK flag. It is after all just a piece of coloured cloth. But I believe flying a soiled or damaged flag is discouraged.
  11. Or As keen as Muster? Nah. That doesn't work?
  12. Mine was more of a general rule/guideline. I wouldn't "invest" anything on real-estate in Thailand. A modest house to live in OK. But the rest offshore.
  13. 60/40. Invest 60% keep 40% liquid?
  14. You look at the edge of the road away from and not directly at the headlights. Or If you prefer into the black hole into which you are about to drive. That knowledge should have been part of your driving instruction.
  15. Except for the free. Why not simply get them powder coated here? Not ridiculously expensive. Might be less hassle.
  16. There is no test for pedestrians but when driving they used to teach, don't look directly at them. Unless of course you wife continually says "Yes dear"
  17. So exactly what is one? I am not familiar with that idiom.🧐
  18. If he is from Darwin at least he has evolved?
  19. Computer says No.
  20. ^^ Odd indeed as most locals can't draw or read a map.
  21. My local Immigration office doesn't like my freehand drawing which I could consider a personal afront. They retrieve a previous drawing from my file and use that.
  22. We always crimped our wires as that would give a more reliable connection when being inserted into a mechanical connection like a terminal block. If a construction guy has to terminate 96 wires it is easier to use mechanical crimps than to apply solder to the stranded wire. If joining only two wires outside a terminal block and time is not of the essence I think soldering is still an option. Corrosion or deterioration is a historical phenomena resulting from using acid flux. Looking around me almost everything has soldered connection in them. Acid fluxes are almost a thing of the past.
