  1. This is my Jap alternator which was a rough casting. Stripped it down and using a drill locked in a vice with rotary pads and different grades of polishing wax achieved a good result. smile.png

    The intake manifold was done by a shop many years before. The pulleys which l machined, ended up with a nice finish which only needed Solvol Autosol.

  2. Massage therapists work for practically nothing in Thailand and often have to wait for hours to get a customer and they only get paid for the time that they actually work.

    They wait for hours because, just like the fish doctor places and the bars and the tshirt shops, there are 10 times more of them than there should be, all chasing the same elusive 100B.

    If they want to earn more they need to get a job that is in demand, or do their own job better than everyone else so that they get more of the available business and are busy all day. This is real life. Sitting around on your backside for hours on end waiting for one customer to provide your daily wage via a big tip is just fantasy.

    Agree.

    Realistic wages should be included in the cost of what you are paying for, not feel sorry cos the proprietor is pocketing the lot.

    Most Thais do not tip, l always give something, not cos l think they earn little it's because l did it in farangland all my life.

    Here in LOS, in my favourite Chinese restaurant l always leave something, but there is this one guy, a wannabe girl, when he brings me the tab he puts his nose in the air, takes the money, brings back the change, l give him a tip, his nose is still in the air, he huffs and walks away sad.png, every time , obviously doesn't like a farang. The rest of the staff and proprietor are great.

    Must add my mrs never tips. smile.png

  3. 2. There are also many countries that don't have the tip habit. So, live and let live. Nothing to do with cheap charlie or blah la la.

    That is what Cheap Charlies use for an excuse. Massage therapists work for practically nothing in Thailand and often have to wait for hours to get a customer and they only get paid for the time that they actually work.

    That is NOT a customers problem.

  4. Look forward to next year when perhaps Winston Churchill or Laurence of Arabia will get their turn of gay fame. sad.png

    Dear me.......you should study history. Laurence of Arabia really was gay and a masochist to boot.

    You new him, cool. thumbsup.gif

    Re-read my first sentence.

    I read it the first time. Strange how all these dead guys are now perceived to be gay by their own admission.

    Now where is my WILL, I must make a statement in it. thumbsup.gif

  5. Aaaaaahah, you see my drift (wood) now. laugh.png

    ...not really...unless you think that because Rayong is located close to the sea,the parts can be affected by sea salt..?? We are talking 'new' cars here...

    You think parts come too or are never stored near salt water. ?

    Just my opinion on the photos provided. smile.png

    Sure,it can happened...specially,if they are transported by ships...wink.png

    OR the pressing workshop was under water, or the warehouse was under water or............................... rolleyes.gif
  6. Tell us again why you stopped?

    Perhaps because it was the honest thing to do... The ethical thing to do.

    Sometimes doing what is morally correct costs more money and can be a pain in the ass. But it's honest. It's decent.

    It's what separates good people from those we'd really rather not have as neighbors.

    Where do you live. ? Not LOS surely. coffee1.gif
  7. Thankfully some of us don't need this treatment whistling.gif

    Thankfully some of us have our brains where they belong with full understanding we don't need the treatment. Injections then amputation? What would possess these people in the first place to take that risk? bah.gif

    I'm guessing you've never seen the size of a Thai guys penis?

    And l thought you were straight. giggle.gif

    No probs, just will look at your posts in a different light from now on. BIG KISS. w00t.gif
