  1. Ignis, you mention you have 3 pillows under your feet when sleeping, seems you are also suffering from endema [water retention] ,,

    Have you checked you antibiotic tablets on google and the side effects, yes ive suffered the same, to the point where a 10 mtr walk would finish me, legs so heavy, im suffering a bit now and sleep with a steel framed sun lounger with one leg folded away, so its a gentle slope which my legs dont role off,

    There can be many complications with broad spectrum antibiotics, in fact, as much as i hated it, i needed a narrow spectrum AB to put my stomach flora back in order, which it thankfully did,

  2. He may have made a repair to the vacumn operated fuel tap that has gone wrong again, or raised the float level in the carb to give it more fuel, if this is the case the fuel could be escaping through what some call the overflow pipe in the float bowl, I look on this tube as air replacment for the fuel that is sucked out,

    Ok, if its the fuel tap, the fuel will go into the engine, if its leaking onto the floor, try putting a piece of wood under the side stand, just to keep the bike more upright,

    Let us know where the fuel is going, Cheers,,

  3. Where can I find the brewers yeast? I've never really looked for it, I am sure I have never seen in in the local Makro, Tesco, Big C.

    I buy mine from the local bread/cake shop, its near enough the same and does the same job, small packets, about 2 teaspoons full 20bht,

  4. Have a little strong alcohol, like Regency,Blend, or the like, just a capful, let this rest on the painful tooth, if the pain stops in 1min, then it is a bad filling, if it persists, it could be an abcess under the tooth,in that case [uK] the dentist will want you to have a course of antibiotics to kill the poison before treatment,so there is no risk of futher infection if pulling the tooth is ness,

    A slice of raw garlic on the afected area is also good, Natures most potent antibiotic, it stings/burns a bit but the relief is quick,Sensodyne tooth paste and a Listerine mouthwash also helps, an extra pillow or two on your bed keeping your head higher will keep blood pressure down from jaws,

    This is all from personal experince, i have suffered for many years with teeth problems, as have my parents brothers ect, i lost all my top teeth at 25, i have about 9 bottom teeth left, and i also have an abcess under 1 of them, ive had 8days on tabs and going to the dentist today for x-ray ect, to check for root probs,

    I wish you luck OP, bad teeth can lead to all sorts of gastro probs as well,

  5. Question is David, have you just bought a farm and want to put electricity to it, or do you have a farm with a supply allready?

    Also, if you have bought the land and want to build a house, you could ask for 2 meters, 1 for house other for land, irrigation ect, i really do think there is a reduced farmers cost for irrigation ect,

    Eg, when i was fruit farming, had a 1hp bore pump and a 2hp booster pump to power five big radius sprinklers in the dry season, i fitted a timer so the system worked at night, less water loss to hot sun ect, in the dry season both pumps would be working 6/8 hours, never had a bill over 260bht per month,

    But, as others have said, worth checking at the local agri office and elec company, get your mrs to do this, and ask farming neigbours also,

  6. Hi Cyclone, welcome to the forum, Yes what you say is true, Willyrot's perfomance hasnt been that special for 2 years or more,

    WSB, well, big suprise, 5 out of 6 podiums for Aprilla, are Aprilla missing Max? dont think so somehow!! it could have been different if Careless and Marco hadnt had that shunt in race 1, who knows? and i really thought Baz was gonna go past Tom in the closing laps, Tom was having his wrist strapped up on the grid, so hes still suffering from the practise crash,

    WSS, Softglu was playing with Sam Lowes, that was plain to see, Softglu went past him wherever he wanted, the Kawasaki was more than a match for the Yamaha,

    Big Thanks to Eurosport internet TV, watched it all live this morning,

    But 7 weeks till the next one,,, thats a ....... long time..

  7. Go up to the bridge, take the last U-turn, come back about 200mtrs, look for tuk tuks parked on the left side,drive in, you have 7-11 on your right side, in front you will see securs parking, about 100bht a night, the boss man can also arange a taxi/mini-bus to pick you up on Laos side if you want,,

  8. Coupla things id like to elaborate on in the above vids,

    1st is the chain thingy, very good, but many big bikes have a chain slipper fixed to the top of the swing arm, comes into play in off throttle situations, this also gets covered in sticky chain lube and road crap, check if your bike has one,, and clean if so,

    2nd, Front end,tyre and bearings ect, decent vid, but, the Honda mech said the tyre was feathering and also down to 25psi, perhaps low pressure caused the feathering? but he re-inflated the tyre to its normal 36psi and fitted the valve cap? bad move!! he should have spit on his finger and tested the valve for leakage.

    3rd, wheel bearings, Honda mech spun the wheel and said if you cant hear a rumble all is ok, not so, the brake calipers were still on, best wat is when changing the brake pads, spin the wheel and hold very near the wheel spindle and feel for any slight vibration, if felt, change bearings, if you can hear them, they are so bad, near to the point of collaspe,

  9. In fairness to poster it appears he was expecting to recover and be able to make report and that he counted day one as zero which is a common mistake. Yes he could have sent the wife but suspect most wives would not be anxious to make that trip if not required.

    Thankyou Lop3, over the last 2 years ive been in & out of hospitals for various problems, its not only the illness that has kept me at home, its the after effects of the medicine that scuppers me also, so wife has had to report for me many times, 6 months ago they asked mrs for a docs letter, saying i could not travel, luckily mrs had a dated pic on her phone of me having a lung drain catherta being inserted, so they were happy with that..

    As for a "Donation" when Udon Immi re-opened at the airport, after 18months or so they annouced and shew pics of an old immi office in Udon town center, and were asking all and sundry if they would like to donate towards the new building, to which i gave 1kbht, ok.

    Thankyou.

  10. Going by the 7 day before or 7 day after rule, and an early Valentines day here in Namsom, i was supposed to report on the 5th feb, and taking into account the 7 working days, the latest would be 12th, in the meantime i developed a tooth abcess, and didnt want to go/travel ect, Mrs went on the 12th, to Udon immi, the officer said im on overstay and she would have to pay, Mrs retorted, Yes, and all the times we were early and my Husband donated towards your new Immi offices and you want him to pay more?? she got the paper clipped in free, She must have unsettled them a bit, They rang the next day for my PP number, [they forgot to take it}

    It pays to stand your ground on issues like this,

  11. About 2 years ago i had a dry explosive cough, tried the lot,drugs, herbal, nothing would stop it, in the end, i could only walk 10mtrs being breathless, the chest pain made me think id broken some ribs, x-rays showed i had bruised the lung casings, and also some blood clots, luckily i got treatment in time,

    I agree with others, its best not to supress a dry cough, i learnt my lesson! i bought a nebulizer and use a saline solution, check the web, its good, 10 mins morn, 10 mins night, or as much as you want, no probs, after all, seamen breathe salt air all the time, and this really loosens the mucus/pleghm/snot whatever you want to call it, i used to suffer every dry season, but not any more.

  12. OP, have you tried heel and toeing your car?

    To explain, start the engine, select 2/3rd gear or D [auto] hold the brake pedal down with the top of your right foot, press the acelerator with the heel while letting the clutch pedal up slowly till the engine is working hard, if its gonna pink it will do it then, dont worry, you wont hurt the clutch, 10 seconds should be long enough, this way, you have to mess about with under-bonnet listening crap, and the "techs" can hear the problem..

  13. Lots of offs due to the re-surfacing i would think, they should have got Moaner and his new "mates" to have a few V8 races there, just to get some rubber down, and some grip for the bikes! or perhaps this is the first time they can collect data for the new 17in wheels??

    Only 19 on the grid this year, 23 in MotoGp, bit sad really when i watch Youtube WSB racing from years ago when there would be 34odd bikes,

    Im still up for Tom to do it, and yes, Scott would be a good bet in GP2,,

  14. We had the same thing years ago at old thai house, with wood style windows, Mrs was impervious to mossies but not me, she got in touch with the local shopfitters who done made to measure hinged screens, with maganetic fasterners, very cheap too, aluminum frames ect,

    The new house build has upvc double glazied tinted windows with sliding upvc screens, it came as a whole thing, 6000bht at the time, from Home Pro Udon,

    I would start at the local shop-fitters first, or any place that does aluminum work,

    Hope this helps,

  15. Thats the end of the Sepang tests, DP,JL,VR,MM,

    In my mind thats a good showing for Vale & Marquez, both sorta rookies with new bikes, brilliant, Cal & Brad 5th & 8th fastest, way ahead of the Ducatis, When are Spucati gonna listen to there riders??

    WSB, the Duke Pancake is ready for testing at Philip Island, although i didnt see the stick-on headlight bits they are all supposed to wear this year, that all starts in about 2 weeks time, so not long fellas, bring it on!!!

  16. Well, believe it or not, Valentines day here will be this coming weekend, 2/3rd February,

    Reason is they couldnt get the pop group they wanted on the 14th, over the years ive seen many Falang at this 2 day party, so its just to let you all know,

    Whether there will be another street party on the 14th, no idea, but will keep you all posted,

    Cheers, Lickey.

    PS, our shop/salon is oppisite the temple in the closed street area, give us a look if youve in town, food and beers ect, Thanks..

  17. For instance, if i have TV open and i open a new window for my mail, as the page is loading it will keep jumping back to the original page, and sometimes stay on it,

    its not just TV, could be anything, like a page open for mail and then go to Youtube and it jumps back to mail,,

    I have Macfee AV running and Superspyware, these dont conflict because i disable 1 or the other or both and it still happens,

    Grateful for any ideas or cures, Thanks Lickey,
