  1. Why didn't he just buy a transformer/converter for his system ?
  2. Check out James Hoffman on Youtube for different methods of using the smart dripper or pour over method (smart dripper does both, just keep valve open for pour over). I find immersion and percolation gives a more balanced favour and I use a larger grind size than for pure pour over, but sometimes, especially for a light roast doing a nice pour over technique can really bring out some different flavours. I use the glass Hario V60 smart dripper, 15g of coffee on a medium to fine grind and 250ml of water, water in first then coffee, let rest until all grounds soaked then a little stir so the grounds start to sink, leave for 2 or 3 minutes and open the valve. The joy of seeing it drain down, none sticking to the filter and a nice flat bed once drained is one of life's little pleasures.
  3. Chao tang chat
  4. Never said it isn't real but to assume every incident where 'trace amounts' of the stuff was detected that it was the root cause is delusional. Suppose you think those with Covid that got hit by a bus died of Covid also ?
  5. If you genuinely believe that 'trace amounts' of weed in his system were the cause of this heinous crime then I'm not surprised so many of the public with no real experience of it are against the legalisation of it.
  6. That sounds ideal as it will be a couple or more long calls over a couple of weeks then won't need it again. Thanks.
  7. Yeah, it's quite a distance from us, the biggest player in all of this are currently telling both sides to leave the area I'm in alone, but not sure for how much longer. Obviously I can't put too much online.
  8. I will again be trying to contact HMRC, previous attempts have seen me giving up after waiting up to 1 hour and still on hold. What is the cheapest way to call a UK landline number, would it be Skype or are there any other alternatives ? Thanks.
  9. You were correct with your first guess, although at the check points they seem to think your second guess is correct 🙂 Sorry to hear about your eye problem but great that you got it attended to so quickly, wishing you a speedy recovery.
  10. Nope, not working in any of the above fields either. Plenty of Chinese around here but only 1 other western foreigner that I know of.
  11. If the ELCB is tripping it is possible you have a partial short to earth somewhere in your wiring that the unit is detecting and tripping, this is even more likely as you have had 2 units doing the same thing.
  12. I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 108 seconds  
  13. North, I am working on Ramree island.
  14. What a great thread, thanks Simon. I'm in Rakine state at the moment and things here are not good but are hopefully going to improve in the near future. Have worked here a few times and can honestly say the locals are the nicest and most respectful people I have ever met. Considering what they have been through and are currently going through it truly is amazing.
  15. So from this, it COULD cause up to 8 points loss of IQ (although a lot of high functioning people regularly use it), it is not known if it causes mental health problems, it slows down your reactions. I'm not seeing that is causes a person to be violent from this ?
  16. I get about same feeling from pasta withdrawal as i do from weed withdrawal.
  17. So it was the weed that made these people into assassins and ISIS were fine upstanding gentlemen before consuming the devil's lettuce.
  18. So because he was going to a weed shop it must be the weed that made him do it. So by the same logic if he had been going to a restaurant it must be the food that made him do it ? I would really love to see some scientific evidence of weed alone making someone violent.
  19. Even when they are an actual account of what happened but just because you don't think they should be accepted. As I said previously, things change all the time depending on how the IO officer feels on that particular day but don't be so dismissive of others experiences.
  20. The last couple of months when I have come through Priority it would have been just as quick if not quicker going through the normal lanes due to the amount of families with children in the Priority lanes. It used to be one of the reasons I upgraded on my short haul trips but hardly worth it now, might be different in high season though.
  21. Well I'm glad the immigration officer who I dealt with did not have the same opinion as you. She was the person that showed me how to do it so it was obviously from my account, sometimes common sense prevails, only sometimes....
  22. It's almost a pleasure to use this office after using Jomtien for years, most of the staff are genuinely very helpful.
  23. Yes, for annual extension, she only wanted it for the months that had not transactions after looking through my bank book. I have now set up a monthly 100b transfer into my account so there is movement every month. Of course what she is looking for at my next extension will probably change, a bit frustrating but it is Thailand, easier to just smile and say ok then.
