^ ^I tried to bribe a copper at a road stop near there once with a five hundred baht note for wearing no helmet...and the copper started shouting about colluption and called his mates over.
Loads of Thais were flying past on scooters with no helmets and left be.
I told them I was just trying to pay the fine on the spot and they just took my Thai licence and gave me a ticket.
Straight bastards:)
:rofl: I bet those things never get washed. Years, maybe decades of grubby sweaty heads. That would be a good thing to test at the lab for those youtubers who do that shitQuote:

"Yes, buy me, then you are my bitch for life because I only fit my own brand of tools, you'll have to buy a shed load of my brand. 555"
Then I saw this cordless reciprocating saw at a bargain price, so on impulse I bought it.

I have to suck these Chinese balls....
Attachment 101563
In an exercise to improve my lung function, I purchased this little spirometer. It's actually called an Incentive Spirometer. The incentive presumably is that by exercising your lungs with it you won't die prematurely. Basically, there are 3 balls in 3 tubes and you inhale to try to lift the balls to the top of each tube. One ball is easy, two is more difficult and then three requires the most inhalation.
You just need to imagine that the 3 shiny balls belong to 1.5 ladyboys and then suck as hard as you can.
On my first sucking attempt I sucked two balls to the top of the tube, and the third was quite difficult but achievable. So I'm happy with that and will continue to suck these LB balls every day until it becomes second nature!
Good for you, Simon. Everyone needs to work on a side hustle.

And if not then something with a cord will be cheap. But not as cheap as that
My old "non-sick" sandwich toaster has gradually become less non-stick to the point where when trying to liberate the toasty last time it was reluctant to let go half the toasty and i ended up with something that Chitty would have been proud of. It has been retired in favour of.....

The Scoville stuff is excellent, i have a frying pan by them.
The important words on there Deep Fill, something my last one wasn't - pretty good for a Pony.
Extra unneeded junk when all you need to do is butter the outside of the bread and pop it into a pan, a quick flip, and you have this...Quote:

Unfortunately we also call the BBQ a grill as well so that can get confusing for those who are IQ challenged. :)
You would think that someone who claims to have visited America would know such things.
American cheese. It is an excellent melting cheese, just ask chitty and dilly. Again, someone who has visited America would know this.Quote:

visiting a place and hearing it which i did, still doesn't make it anymore logical :)Quote:

I'm busy reading the instructions, and M'Sahib, being something of a smart ass, showed me a YouTube video of the unboxing and operation of the very item just received!

I have one on my list to buy as well.
I have not used one over here but it was a regular tool in my previous life for Indian cooking - dals etc
quite, made in minutes.Quote:

edit
possible sacrilege but you can cook ribs in the cooker til tender and then finish on the grill - cuts the cooking time and they are always fall off the bone
So I believe, which is going to be it's primary life. I use a Le Creuset casserole pot for things like beef bourguinon with its carrots and onions.Quote:
