    The hydro lakes are full. Sorry, but power prices will increase.

    What are they, fucking Goldilocks? This lake's too low. This lake's too full. This lake's just right.

    I can hear gunfire. Too close for the military range up the mountain and the light is fading. Who can be shooting what? After recent events I find it unsettling.

    Not gunfire, I guess. It is all over the place. Must be those delightful 'bombs' they sell for Ork Pansa.

    South-East Asians from more developed countries (typically Singapore) that talk constantly as loud as they can in English, in that annoying Asian style of English that tries so hard to sound American, just so everyone in the vicinity, nay, everyone withing a 2 kilometer radius, knows that they're not lowly Thais.

    It’s a simple by product of Asians learning English from American teflers. Some Dutch and Germans are saddled with a similar affectation.

    Can't say I've encountered many Singaporeans with Seppo accents, they have their own brand, 'Singlish'. The only ones are actors or musicians

    Wind has knocked loads of trees over blocking nearly all the roads in my area, took ages to get home.
    Tree surgeons and police are busy tonight with all the disruption.

    I am in the process of renovating 1 house and removing stuff from another house which will then be demolished.

    I am building a laundry and removed a 80cm wide PVC door to be fitted to the new construction so I purchased a PVC door frame which I assembled ready to be fitted.

    When I assembled the frame, and before fitting it to the brickwork opening, I laid the door into the frame jam and found the jam opening 40mm bigger than the door corresponding dimension which meant I needed to cut the frame top panel to make the door fit without a big gap.

    Fuck that and I took it back and had a nightmare getting a refund. She, the shop owner, told me I had opened the box and assembled it so no refund. Then she told me the frames were made that way so you could adjust it. I explained I worked in the plastic industry and PVC frames and doors are not made that way. I basically told her it wasn't correct and I wanted my money back.

    Finally she agreed to look at some pictures I took and used my tape measure to confirm the error and then called her employee to remove the frame from my car and walked off without saying anything to me. Her employee then returned about 10 minutes later with my refund.

    What a fucking nightmare and bitch.

    ^ If I didn't have the pictures and the tape measure I doubt she would have returned my money.

    Chinese Thai and an arrogant bitch as well.
