  1. And whilst we are straining our memories, does anyone else remember the ITV Public Information Film (it would appear that the actual footage is lost) that featured this poem? Sir Isaac Newton told us why an apple falls down from the sky And from this fact, it's very plain, all other objects do the same A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup, invariably fall down, not up And every common working tool is governed by the self-same rule So when you handle tools up there, let your watchword be "Take Care" If at work, you drop a spanner, it travels in a downward manner At work, a fifth of accidents or more, illustrate old Newton's law But one thing he forgot to add, the damage won't be half as bad if you are wearing proper clothes, especially on your head and toes These hats and shoes are there to save the wearer from an early grave So best feet forward and take care about the kind of shoes you wear It's better to be sure, than dead, so get a hat and keep your head Don't think to go without is brave; the effects of gravity can be grave
  2. From 1976 - Still totally relevant.
  3. Did he meet these chaps with their "tamed" wild Haggis' ? Wild haggis can never be truly domesticated and remain dangerous at all times.
  4. I just had to watch the video. The face-blur machine seems to have slipped ...
  5. Could you link to a thread which does this please? Which browser, OS, ISP etc are you using?
  6. Yeah, those type of terminals work reasonably well when the wire sizes are fairly similar, 4mm2 and 1.5mm2 (particularly if it's stranded) is certainly marginal.
  7. The flex to the oven goes in the two bottom terminal tunnels pointing down and through the strain relief clamp. The supply goes in the centre two of the 4 top terminals. E goes to the two top outside terminals (Supply one side, flex the other).
  8. Numbers for June. We are aiming to use nothing from PEA in July (breaker is off). I do notice we are consistently making more than we use. Overall system round-trip efficiency from DC energy input to 220V usage is about 85%. Obviously the inverters use some energy, they do get pretty warm at times after all. Battery efficiency in to out is about 97%. I suspect some measurement errors too as the data is what is reported by the inverters. Does it really matter? Not really, the input energy is after all, free 🙂 The most important reading is that of the PEA meter
  9. My mum-in-law (sadly now long gone) was in the Thai resistance during the war. Get her started and she would tell anyone who would listen (and those who didn't want to) how many "Japs" she killed by derailing trains. I never had the heart to tell her that at the time I was working for a Japanese company, in Thailand, building a railway Miss the old dear, she never lost her marbles even well into her 90s, she just didn't wake up one morning 😞
  10. Evidently the SA forecasting is on a par with the UK weather forecast by the great Michael Fish.
  11. But that's also four mothers in law!
  12. Have you tried the Thai Biodiversity group on Facebore?? https://www.facebook.com/groups/thai.species.id
  13. Interestingly, Pathum Thani immigration always did a home visit for marriage extensions, not just the first one. Then , last November, despite verifying Madam's phone number, no visit. We shall see what occurs this November, all bets are off. The "Check Visa Status" Line thingy simply said visa approved, please collect.
