Just some questions to the wall builders posting here as I will be in the same boat as ianrodders and building a wall in the future. -Did you think it necessary to get local engineering design? -Did you place piles along the wall to avoid settling and cracking or just a reinforced concrete beam and ...

Yes a typical Richard Cranium.
Having an engineering degree doesn't always relate to a street smart IQ.

Bad luck for his mate who thought he was being bailed with the money.

I reckon their sending a very subtle message to all countries that border Thailand that the USA are still around and will be showing off some of their new toys. Especially to those Govt's doing deals with China, for power plants and dams and what ever other resources the chinese want. Would be inter...

MMMMM leeks (or is that Daffodils), the most inspiring thing to come out of Wales. :lol: For those whom haven't tried or cooked Leeks and want to attempt them this one is the more basic methods to start with. 2 1/2 lbs leeks 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, to taste 2 ta...

Since we have commenced the spelling attack on the "urban legend" one must venture back only another 3 words to find that there is another mistake. I did not go back further than 3 words. I wish my car was purched with money then perhaps it may have been far less expensive, but then again not knowin...

Danchatka, Broke my collar bone many many years ago in a dirt bike accident and broke it clean in one place and cracked in the 2nd place. I was put into the figure 8 splint and it took a full 8 weeks to heal and back to work. A lot of pain and discomfort for about 3 weeks. Never remember the bone mo...

Ding Dong Now that the noise level of the laughter :lol: :lol: :lol: has subsided to an audible level that the ear can accept and the subtleties of leg pulling by some have been appreciated it would be good if you let us know how you got on with the pipe. It is actually a good idea for a heavy duty ...

I think if we have gained any knowledge at all out of this post it is that "some are thicker than others".

We drive heavy wall 26" by 12meter long pipe for our piles on site, just a suggestion check the larger building sites or heavy excavation yards, if any, around town as they may use this pipe for their piles and have some offcuts. It will most likey be schedule 80 wall thickness but depending on what...

Sorry just to clarify. Have all your secondary sheets behind the first pages to complete the CV, like course completions references etc. If you make the 2nd pile then they will start to read your CV in more detail and may even telephone referneced people prior to you coming in for the interview. Bec...

SPJ17 depending on what industry you are in or the position you are applying for, is that you may be one af many CV's being processed in the first pass. You have to catch their eye to get you through to the next stage of recuitment where you may be phoned or requested to attend an interview. It is a...

Funny how there are different names for wars depending on which side you were on. Westerners call it the Vietnam war and the Vietnamese call it the American war. I wonder if the Japs and Germans had another name for the 2nd world war? It is only recently that the museum name in Ho Chi Minh City was ...

Bluejets is correct. You should have a 30ma trip as this is deemed to be the maximum current the body and heart can accept without death. Not that you would want to test that personally. Trip time should be 20ms or 30ms which is the maximum amount of time that if the body should be exposed to the cu...

What's that drink he's holding, looks like half a banana in the glass. Maybe a banana daquiri?
Looks classy anyway

Bit like a tattoo on an otherwise attractive lady. It reduces the desire to f mate. :lol: That's a Classic Trubrit =D> I wonder if that Anti- Matespray would work for expats who think their favourite bargirl may be giving off THAT aroma and is being harrased by other's into casual liaisons while he...

I am not flying to UT but into Khon Kaen and have just booked online my normal flights BKK to KK and return in Feb on Thai Air but the flights are now changed and nominated as being Thai Smile operated with differing times from the past. I was aware that Thai Air were trialling and substituting flig...

Thanks Gudtymchuk, Sounds like it's worth a visit for couple of hours. Good to give the kids a new experience. Might even dress up and go and buy a new pair of 150bht bermuda shorts. Nothing wrong with standing out from the crowd. :D I see on another post after I looked further into UM posts that pa...

Haven't been to the races in Thailand, Question? is this something that the kids could be taken to as far as being able to walk around the stables to let them see the horses etc. Any facilities or activities for a family day. I may be nieve in this regard and naturally do not expect a Royal Ascot ex...

Kjellsnell, Good luck and i hope the investigation is thorough and you and your family get some closure so you can sleep at night. Something is missing and not right here as it does not seem to be a petty crime action and they knew about the security and were not afraid, but systematically took out ...

Reading other posts you and your calculator could get a job as cashier at Mt Tongs to remedy the 10bht discrepencies. :lol: :lol: Why is there no alcohol in this cider? When i was a young lad growing up in Aussie land Apple cider always had an alcohol content and in fact in the 70's it was not banne...
