Good advice.

LOL. Last thing I put together actually had more fasteners supplied than needed. Luckily the instructions specified the number needed, so I knew I had surplus. What is really annoying is to take something apart to fix it and THEN find some left over screws when assembled again.

I'm not bad at DIY and been doing it all my life, but sometimes I get something with instructions that don't make sense, so have to do it by trial and error. BTW, in a previous life when I had a house in NZ I had a professionally made kitchen installed. The kitchen itself had some defects that I didn't pick up till too late ( so check everything before installed ) and the builders that the kitchen maker sent were cowboys. I had to redo everything they had done ( which was when I started doing things myself ). They couldn't even put up a wall that was vertical. I also had to sack the electrician they brought and get my own instead. The <deleted> had the cheek to comeback later and ask if they could take photos. Luckily I wasn't there at the time, but my partner had to tell them that nothing they had done was still there. Another time I had some alterations done, and the builder sent a "plasterer" to finish the wall board gaps, but he only did half the job ( very badly ) and never came back, so I learned to plaster myself.

No safety cut off there. Only a cut off if the temperature goes over 55 C. That's not what kills you.

Get your own electrician. The landlord may use their friendly and cheap one that doesn't know much more than you.

Agree, but unless the OP knows what to look for there is little point in doing so. Main thing when looking in electrical devices is to make sure the power is actually off to the device. I love my test screwdriver.

Heaters with included safety cut off have a test button. If no test button it probably doesn't have a safety cut off. You can have an earth added just for that, as long as your landlord doesn't mind you drilling a hole in the wall for the wire ( unless you want to crawl around in the roof space ). Just make sure the earth rod is correct length.

Actually no need to disconnect any wires. Cut flex covering to length required, cut lengthways along flex covering on one side only, put over wiring. If wanting to be extra secure, wrap with insulating tape. I'd turn power off at main breaker while doing it just in case.

and the positive is ............................................................? How is a life where we have no interaction with other people better?

If it's not something you can hold it's just data. It's only easy till it's not. Welcome to the hacker's world- crime pays better than honest work.

Yes. Stop making it easy for big business to rule us. I hope all you that want the end of cash realise you want mass unemployment. No cash don't need cash registers- don't need people making/ fixing them don't need accountants- AI can do all that don't need bank employees- AI can do all their jobs don't need anyone working in a mint don't need security services transporting money don't need piggy banks- no need for employees to make them don't need wallets or purses etc etc. So all you that want cashless want to ruin people's lives.

Oh taking other people's money is just so inconvenient, so let's get rid of money, let the buyer take the risk of it going wrong, and make lots more profit.

I have no desire to know the details of other people's sex lives.

Nothing is "gone". She's an old lady and probably stayed on because she likes the life style, rather than to "do a job". Most people likely gave up "work" as soon as they qualified for a pension. She might not be whatever such ladies actually do anymore, but I doubt any personal relationships have "gone".

I assume that's the writer's opinion. It could also be that she chose to resign to avoid further embarrassment to the palace, and also that she is old and might like to have a cuppa and a long lie down instead of going to affairs where she meets a lot of people she has nothing in common with. Does the Spectator support or oppose the Royals?

We don't often agree but that is a very excellent post IMO.

From a thread on Pattaya News Pattaya — Pattaya Traffic Police collaborated with the Chonburi Department of Land Transport to arrest and fine dozens of Bolt drivers who did not have public transport driving licenses to pick up customers.

I used to do that all the time to avoid having to climb stairs ( escalators are great ), plus AC most of the way.

Unless they added an overhead walkway since I was last there you can't get from Siam to MBK without going down to street level. That's why a 5 minute walk takes 9 minutes, plus the climb on the stairs to make one sweaty. Easier to just wait for next train to MBK.

Garbage is a Thailand thing. Last time I went to Samet it was a garbage tip end to end, despite being a national park. I visited a waterfall beauty site ( right next to a national park ) south of Lamphun, and it was a garbage tip. Seems locals just don't care.

I'd have loved to be a paramedic, or work in A and E, but it's not the work that was the problem- blood and guts don't bother me- it was the <deleted> that attack people trying to help them. I wouldn't take that garbage and would have ended up getting fired. In the end I couldn't even tolerate the <deleted> on the wards and got a job in theatres where I didn't have to worry about <deleted> people.

Any computer expert should be able to see if anything was added after Hunter abandoned it.

If you were correct the law might have had something to say about it, but it hasn't, has it?

Thanks for adding that info. Sounds like it was both sides confused about the questions being asked. Add a woke media and bingo, here we are having a barney about an elderly lady being racist. One might suspect that she's been around long enough, and the media have been woke long enough, to have noticed a while back if she was overtly racist.

Indeed, Britain has Welsh, Irish, Scottish as well as English languages. Probably some even less widely used languages from isolated parts of Britain.
