^most welcome sir,cracking weekend was had
This photo shows what happens when a gas tank explodes. The tow truck was undergoing renovation when it was torched, the gas tank run the width of the vehicle behind the cab. The resulting explosion tore the roof off and destroyed it .

^ Maybe I won't go for a CNG in me car...
Are you still there Terry? I found this pic, about 12 years old or so, I'd say. An easy question: where is it?

Looking into the tow truck you can see what left of the gas tank brackets the peeled of roof and destroyed cab. Anyone who has a vehicle on gas should be aware of what can happen in a fire. This tank took approximately 10- 15 minutes before it reached a temperature where it exploded.

You must've been there Terrance, when?
First time I went to Kata was 87 and there was very little there then except a very pleasant atmosphere. Don't go to Phuket as too many tourists for my liking. Tend to stick to Tao.
Like many other places, Kata has been fooked, sad to say.
I've just looked over some pics of KPG and Chawaeng beach from maybe 18 years ago? Very nice; not sure about now.
Remember Bottle Beach, ahhhh. Generator off at 10pm, only one boat a day to come or go... :)

While digitizing the remaining slides I found this 25 year old photo of my wife with our son and a neighbour. She looks so young!
At the time she was pregnant with our daughter.

Besides that man everybody looked like a dwarf, not just my wife.

No electric, bugger all backpackers and extremely friendly locals, Was hooked on Thailand after that.
I have some cracking hard copy photos but cant seem to upload them onto my putor in the right size ????
pissing me off as I'd love to make a thread about those happy times on the Pan.
A lot of free picture processing software is available. I like IrfanView as it is fairly easy to use. Resize to 800 pixel for the longer side of the picture. Use the resample method and probably apply the sharpen after resample option too. That's all in one step.Quote:

I don't calculate in foot. He was well over 2 meters. The one time in almost two years playing volleyball I got the ball at the net ahead of him is something to remember even 25 years later.:)Quote:

Got heaps of stuff from my travels before I bought a digital camera, Nepal, India early Bali and others.
Fok, Hope I can sort it before I kick off. :)
Do Aussies use this phrasal verb meaning 'to die' or is it your special labguage, Terry? A serious question cause I've never heard it used in that way before.Quote:

7 foot is big; I was once head-butted by a guy of around 7 foot 2; he was a big lad...Quote:

Are there any small children that live around your area and can sort out these 'puter' problems for you? :)
don't know what you are using to scan them, but there is normally an option as to the size and qualityQuote:

Bought a good quality scanner for the sole purpose of sorting all my hard copy photos so I could do some nice threads on the Door.
I know there's nothing wrong with it but just aint cracked the resizing side of things even though its got all that stuff on it.
Sort of give up on it at the mo but will fire it up again when I feel like it and get the bastard thing cranking.
Be careful Terry, no lurking, you might be misunderstood and get yourself in trouble.Quote:

3 weeks ago bought myself a new Avanti cadence road bike Tour Defrance Special for 2k.I had to replace my other road bike that fell off my bike carrier after owning it for 15 minute. That's another story. :mid:https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...t_2010_001.jpg

Big hands too; the one on the right is quite (no, very) worrying... :)Quote:
