Another dog attack yesterday. Looking for pepper spray.
Hi About 20 years ago I built a device that I found in a Practical Electronic book. It was about the size of a packet of cigs.

Its like asking how many miles can you get out of a gallon of fuel, without saying how you drive, or what you drive etc. it varies with everyone. If you are thinking of coming to live in LOS I would come here for 3 to 6 months to see...

Hi, Can not understand why LOS is still on 3G. Back home on an Island with only a population of 80K we are on, this year, 5G. I must say that about 12 or so years ago China ask our government to use our sat. Tx and Rx station to test their Sat. systems. U.K.. refused them, as did so many other count...

Visa/permit to stay question
Hi, Did I myself the other month. A marriage P to stay was to much hassle and took to long to do. I had all the requirement for a P. to stay due to retirement, so I changed to that. The only thing you have to watch out for is , in my case, pensions come to 800,000 a year. Took a letter from my embas...

Hi, This is not a scam. You are breaking the law, if you use a hand held phone when driving. Most people cant drive correctly when they have 2 hands on the wheel., and not only Thais. As for helmets. This is up to the rider, IMO If they are brain dead, if they wont wear one. Mind you it might take a...
