  1. I have met and talked with Yingluck. I thought she was nice. I think she would be a good social worker.

    I am not involved in politics and don't choose sides.

    Yes my wife briefly spoke with her when she was PM and was very taken by her charming nature-

    I wish her well.

    She certainly impressed many Australians in the Capital when she visited ...

    Too nice a person for Thai politics these days.

    is that when she visited the country of Sydney?

    She (my wife ) was in Canberra The Australian Capital - May 2012 -

    Sydney is Australia's largest city but neither a country or capital .

    Though its nice enough , especially the Northern beaches-

    The reality is like it or not she was very popular in her travels -

    And its a matter of record she seems very sincere and nice.

    As i said she was very impressive as Charming

    I was hoping that at best that ball would go over your head. At worst it would go through to the keeper.

    Instead it hit you square in the back of your head.

    I think Fred made you just look silly ...but did so politely .

    As for YS I think she might have been out of her depth as PM , but seems to be a person of good character .

    She has still a very large amount of love from ordinary people Thai , or otherwise.

    Haters can go on hating and military force people to say otherwise or pretend they are happy with the status Quo

    if anything, after reading the news this morning, my comment about the ball in the back of the head is in bad taste. Apologies.

  4. It is clear that a consortium was established specifically to purchase this land since the registration went through only 7 days after the company was formed. Would you suggest that the negotiations to buy the land only started 6 days prior to the registration?

    They negotiated. They made an agreement. They set up a company. They registered the sale.

    How does a company that doesn't exist negotiate ?

    Is that a serious question?

    don't bash your head too hard against the wall.

  5. Mmmm, the man in charge of the military's crackdown on protesters in 2010 whose urban protest clearance tactics included the use of snipers marksmen and live fire zones, states that his handpicked NLA are to promulgate a law that will dictate "how authorities can deal with protesters"......................

    What could possibly go wrong?.................................coffee1.gif

    the police won't enforce them, maybe?

    Not that old chestnut, I suggest you do a bit more research and take the apocryphal tales you read on here with a bushel of salt...............................

    I do that already. Thanks for the advice though.

  6. I think your after some bare solid core wire. Go to global or home pro, buy some insulated mains wire of the approximate size your after and strip the insulation. There are heaps of smaller electrical shops with the same stuff.

  7. Amorn has RG6, and probably cat5/cat5e. There is a shop 2 intersections East after the narawat bridge that has some STP as well as different shielded multi, all 24awg. They have some heavy gauge speaker wire too.

    Global and home pro have all the double insulated solid-core HV wire.

    But it would be easier to know exactly what your after, or at least what you need it for, then we could give an appropriate answer.

  8. Hardly the crime of the century.

    Really think that the Olympics should allow all countries to have at least one competitor per games. As long as safety issues are covered in the more technical sports, fail to see the harm. Sure they do this at the summer games judging by some of the competitors in the sprints.

    I think that the more rigid qualification rules for the winter games came in due to Eddie the eagle. The focus on his (non)performance - despite having had some previous jumping experience - was too much for some of the 'stuck-ups' running the games.

    Of course, having a separate qualification for being 'hot' would have solved the problem!!

    I always thought they should do the same for American Ninja Warrior.
  9. Did she cheat or did someone cheat on her behalf unbeknown to herself?

    Exactly

    Reading the full story (something that seems to elude the vast majority of TV posters before they scramble to their keyboard to slag Thais off) I doubt very much that she could have manipulated the results of 4 races all on her own

    There is also no mention of her personally doing so

    But hey ho the Thai bashers are sat with their pants down with tissues scattered around them happy that they have managed to post their daily Thai bashing.

    you're not suggesting that, not only did she need help getting to the Olympics, that she also needed help to get help to get to the Olympics?

    Who's needs the tissues?

  10. Hope it is not kerosene Jet A and Jet A-1 fuel because it has a very low flash point and can explode at any time.
    um, I think you confusing jet with avgas.
    Looks like it was A-1. He got it right.

    No he didn't - Avgas is far more flammable than A and A-1.

    Jet fuels are designed to be vaporised and mixed with air to ignite.

    He suggested that it was A-1 fuel. And he was right, according to the news report.

    he actually said "Hope it is not kerosene Jet A and Jet A-1 fuel". Some confused people in this forum.
  11. Hope it is not kerosene Jet A and Jet A-1 fuel because it has a very low flash point and can explode at any time.

    um, I think you confusing jet with avgas.

    Some grades of aviation kerosine have a much lower flash point than others. I have just Googled kerosine Jet A and it has a flashpoint of 60C.

    Avgas for piston engined aircraft has a flashpoint below 40C.

    Both fuels will float on top of water and needs foam or carbon dioxide to put it out. Pouring water onto an aircraft fuel fuel fire merely gives the burnibg fuel a chance to float off and burn elsewhere. If there is fuel in the klongs it will be very dangerous if in catches fire.

    below 40C as in -40C?

    Edit, I see that was already pointed out.

  12. It could be afta related, as every order I've placed has also included items stocked from either the uk or us warehouse. I wasn't taxed for everything in the order, but it wasn't clear what I was taxed on.

    It all seems to go to Singapore first, then boxed into 1 package before landing in Thailand.

    On the website, when searching for components, it only lists stocks in the US, UK or Singapore warehouse which makes me think they don't stock anything in Thailand.

    All my orders have been personal also, not through a commercial account.

    Dunno.

    Either way, element14 are a good source. Our shop keeps a copy of the paper catalog in the bog for reading material.

  13. Your correct. I visited several shop and found zero inventory.

    I order from this company very often for my design work at the university and the service and delivery has been very good. element14 Thailand

    There is another local shop that my technician often gets parts from and will ask the name and location. Not sure what you mean by 'zero inventory' as Kitti stocks a lot of active/passive components as we get them regularly from there.

    element14 ships to Thailand from their Singapore warehouse, so you do get slapped with import duties at delivery time. The Singapore website is in English, the order codes are the same so I do the part searches on the Singapore site then use the order code to order through the Thai site for delivery to Thailand.

    I also use tayda electronics http://www.taydaelectronics.com for some parts, English website, located in Bangkok 99c delivery to Chiang mai. They also post promotional codes on the Facebook page. They stock mostly cheap stuff as they seem to cater for hobbyists but can be useful for some things.
