To those who don't know from "stones" this fine dude lost well over 100 pounds in a year. Wow! That is remarkable. Good luck to him to keep it going (the even harder part).

Stones? LBs(sic) come on guys. This is a metric country!!

Yes it's a metric country. So why do they use "rai" and "talung wah"? I don't think they are SI units.

Good point but know both measurements are based on meters. I am more curious to know if stones is really still commonly used in the UK to the point it would be used in an article instead of pounds.

The original article was a direct quote from a British "newspaper", the Daily Mirror, so the answer is yes, stones are still commonly used in the UK, not instead of pounds (lb.) but in combination with pounds. A person's weight is almost never quoted in pounds alone. It is usually expressed in stones and pounds. For example, an 87kg man would weigh 13st. 10lb. (approximately). In general usage, it is probably a 50/50 split between between younger/older people. Smart a_r_s_e_s can use both.

I was very surprised NOT to read the usual last line in an accident report, "The driver fled the scene."

This guy has been talking about "The Jospeh Solution" for about 8 weeks. I have no clue <deleted> he is talking about. Does anyone else?

Some useless information about "The Joseph Solution" -- wwww.josephplan.org/page/page/3350637.htm

sounds like you need to do your own work. 20-30 minutes to reformat a computer 25-40 minutes to reformat with all programs intact & settings perfect if you have backed up your computer with Norton ghost or the like program. 3 questions yes yes & yes.

Oil change or minor repairs too easy to do yourself. You sound like your savvy enough to do your own work.The cam chain maybe not. Lots of other good shops. Electrical ....You are on your own on that one.

Home repairs & building. I just rented a Kamatsu claw (excavator) & dug 5 holes & planted 5 -7 meter trees 3 days ago.

That way if the cat breaks down I can get it running quickly & not hear a song and a dance.

If you want to get a good job done in Thailand best to do it yourself.

I do all my own plumbing & will build the next 1500-2000 sq.ft. house addition myself as I get tired of substandard building practices. The only large amount of work I will sub out is the electrical & I know I will have to take off all the electrical tape & put the connectors on myself to get it right. Unfortunately I am not educated in the electrical dept & am not willing to make errors that could be critical.

No way around it- Sorry to say but Thailand is not standard in building or common sense issues.

That's why that saying "If you want to get the job done right do it yourself"

BEWARE! My understanding is that you are not allowed to do ANY work without the appropriate work permit, not even charity work. It is also extremely unlikely that you would be granted a work permit for this type of work, even if you applied for one.

English???? Wow I skipped those classes to smoke weed behind the baseball backstop. But hey, ask me about Krichhoff's voltage law or anything regarding quadratic equations.

What about simultaneous quadratics?
