  1. Keeps rats/mice out of the roof space too, but use the big size balls. Drain flies, just flush the U-bends with boiling water once a month. .
  2. Possibly not the best location, at least not without additional measures. Maybe they should design it so the panels can rotate 180 degrees if necessary to present a less vulnerable rear.
  3. I checked the info for Hat Yai, apparently updated 19th April 2023, that claims The Pubb is still operating, it closed nearly 10 years ago! So would treat that site's info with a bag of salt. .
  4. If you say so. I can remember my uncle had a Welsh dragon and anchor, though he'd travelled extensively in the Far East before the war. During the war he was on the North Atlantic and then Arctic Convoys.
  5. My great uncle, who was in the navy during the first world war, had tattoos on his arms, as did my uncle, who was a merchant seaman during the second world war. The purpose of those tattoos was to help identify their corpse if they got killed. The current fashion for getting inked is largely that, a fashion, and whilst some are pleasing to look at, most are pretty ugly and ill-considered.
  6. The resurfacing of the main roads was long overdue. Starting during lockdown Hat Yai took the opportunity of empty roads to install new storm drains, push on with the burying of electric cables, and additional street lighting; so the roads have been dug up several times and were a mess. This is just laziness on the part of a few workers, most of the resurfaced roads have been marked properly. The gangs doing the road resurfacing were able to raise or remove the metal ramps, just the guys laying down the road marking who couldn't be bothered.
  7. Try Mail Big File which has a free option https://www.mailbigfile.com/
  8. ...and you'd like them to check their bodies in for Soylent Green production too? Waste not want not.
  9. I'll be flying to Survarnabhumi, but thanks for the clarification.
  10. I'm surprised they didn't suggest suicide as a possibility too, seems about as plausible as drowning.
  11. Last time I did this I just went to the first available immigration desk and gave my new passport plus the old one open at the current extension. I was stamped in and then had my extension transferred at my local immigration office. What or where is 'Desk 3'? I'll be doing exactly the same as the OP on my next trip to the UK. .
  12. Laughable. It was a a mock referendum on self-determination, not a real one; so now the locals can't even talk about self-determination.
  13. The Moderna Bivariant vaccine is available free at the vaccination station in the car park of the Bangkok Hospital Hat Yai, had my jab today. You need to book in advance as supplies are limited. Vaccination for the Moderna jab is on Friday afternoons from 2 till 4pm. https://forms.gle/1tLbE9F5ru6fMvRc6 .
  14. I heard one expert, early on in the search, explain the immense pressures at that depth as the equivalent of being beneath an Empire State building made of lead.
  15. scandal (noun) A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society. A person, thing, or circumstance that causes or ought to cause disgrace or outrage. Damage to reputation or character caused by public disclosure of immoral or grossly improper behaviour; disgrace. I'm finding it hard to see any 'scandal'; the man's a divorcee seemingly no with attachments apart from looking after his son, it's a kiss at a birthday party, they're both fully clothed and consenting adults. Talk about over egging the pudding. I'd say it's the headline and article that are scandalous.
  16. That's my previous experience too, Dells just keep going.
  17. I have two aging Dells, a Precision M4800 and a Precision M3800. The 4800 is almost 10 years old and is used as my desktop, the 3800 is almost 9 years old and is the one I take travelling. A few years ago I switched out the HDDs for SSDs, I've certainly had my money's worth out of them, hopefully they'll last a few more years.
  18. They originally come from Sulawesi, Indonesia, locally known as Ayam Ketawa.
