?????????????? I never had a ceremony before or after the legal part. It's not necessary. Perhaps that ampur was making up their own rules.

I agreed to them days ago, so why do I have to "read and confirm" every time I try to log on?

Just to let you know I haven't been banned, but taking an extended ( voluntary for a change ) holiday. It's been an experience for the past 16 years or so, but sometimes the abuse gets a bit much, so time for a break, and maybe come back after a while. Just sayin' that the forces of darkness didn't win, and remember what Nixon said on his departure.

Thanks for the replies. I learned that the path is easier via the neutral line than the earth rod. I thought it was the other way around, so good explanation. I had googled it before asking on here, but didn't find anything I understood.

At least in Thailand they are not too expensive. I bought a few to bring back to home country as anything like that costs A LOT OF MONEY here. If you do, don't throw the old one away as if you leave the place you could put it back and take the new one with you.

Syphilis and gonorrhea are not free to cure.

If there is ever a nuclear holocaust I hope it burns me up too, as the living will come to envy the dead.

Easy. They are the sort than needs to be revered because they can buy super yachts. No point in having billions if not surrounded by sycophants. Where I live super yachts are in short supply, but plenty of those cars with huge grills that shout "look at me, I'm rich" in the rv mirror. I'm quite enjoying the discomfort of Russian rich guys in the present political climate, but with any luck western one's comeuppance is also coming in a time when we poor guys are going to be getting shafted big time by inflation ( already started ).

The scientist, Joe DiMaggio, or was it Nasa's James Hansen, or was it DiCaprio, and not DiMaggio, who becomes seduced by the Marilyn Monroe figure, in the film, and was this character not based on someone like Megyn Kelly? LOL. IMO she's as seductive as a bar of soap, but it takes more than blond hair to turn me on.

I think it is called the MEN system. Can anyone explain how connecting neutral and earth at the consumer unit works, please? Why doesn't the current just go into the earth rod? I just don't get how it works.

I bought a stand alone RCD unit when I lived in LOS. Gets added BEFORE the consumer box. I think it cost about 2,000 baht but my memory isn't great.

Because they can? Do you not think that if they could sell Snickers for the same price in the UK they wouldn't?

The TBL theory of exchange rates:- wherever I go it will get worse for me that it was before I arrived. I went to stay in Ireland when for probably the only time in history to that point in time the Punt was worth more than Sterling, which is what I had to exchange. I also changed most of my spare Sterling for Thai baht at the beginning of the drop late last century, but it had reached 99 baht to the Pound the next time I arrived, but without any Sterling to change.

I hope that's satire. I enjoyed almost everything about Thailand except immigration ( and my wife after our 3rd year together ).

If the opinions on marriage stated on this thread are anything to go by, women better hope that android sexbots are never invented.

Feel free to not click on it in future then. Bye.

LOL. Given the oft stated desire of the young to reject the world of their parents and to be individuals, is it strange that blue jeans, the very essence of corporate capitalism became their badge of tribalism?

IMO viewers watch shows with good writing and acting, regardless of gender. Perhaps they had better writing with the female Dr, but I'll never know as I gave up watching it a few Doctors ago as it was just not worth it anymore. Far as I'm concerned the best Dr was Patrick Troughton, and his "assistant" was definitely the most attractive. When the gender of the Dr is more important than the stories, something is rotten in Denmark.

Strange that some think it's up to them to dictate when a thread is "done". So long as anyone wants to post it's not "done".

IMO the time for such passed in the late 60s in the Vietnam morass. Now it's just greed and money, money money. Wokeness IMO is a symptom and not the cause of modern descent into oblivion.

Just finished Twin Peaks, the Return. When it was good it was very good and when it was bad it was just awful. Too much awful to be a great series though. Some episodes were just barking- thank goodness for fast forward. When I have to look up the internet to see what the <deleted> happened the writer hasn't done a good job. Has to have the absolute worst ending of any series I ever saw, given there are no plans for a follow up to wrap it all up and explain it. Looking back, I have a sneaking suspicion that Lynch was taking the <deleted> with a lot of it, and especially the last episode. However, it does have some fantastic music in it ( and some really horrible music as well ). Shadow by The Chromatics was wonderful.

It was barely interesting, not too much enjoyment to be had though. The addition of the very unpleasant woman was IMO a huge mistake- just annoying, and couldn't even act. No real reason to even be in the movie, other than wokeness. Romancing the Stone- now that was a great movie. Funny, adventurous, and a really great finale song. Not enough movies have good endings like that. Zatoichi had an even better one than Romancing.

To late man, they're already burning! Burnt for greed.

True words, but it just changed to be like our countries that we don't want to live in anymore.

If you think happiness is linked to atmospheric CO2 you've been smokin' too many hippie ciggies. We in the west lived in a golden age of humanity when we had it all, but that was when world population was 3 billion people and it's gone like frost in the sunlight.
