  1. Council estates are British public housing. I lived in Nirum for 2 1/2 years. Only reason I moved was I wanted something with move living space, but for those that are happy with smaller living space and low rent prices Nirun is a fine choice. And as for the comment "I would be looking over my shoulder constantly at 2am for sure", I call BS on that. Never once felt threatened walking around Nirun no matter what the time of day.
  2. There's a big project underway to move the overhead electric underground. https://news.lovepattayathailand.com/local/work-begin-burying-electrical-cables-pattaya-february-19/ When they start work on Buakhao it's really going to make a mess of the traffic on that soi. Hopefully they do the smart thing and make Buakhao one way until the work is done. Better still, leave it one way after the project is done.
  3. Easy R-Con open sewer progress as of this morning. 2nd Rd work to move overhead cables underground. Still working on the footings at the construction site on 3rd Rd near Klang. No word on what's going in at the now closed M-Club, but they're doing a lot of work on the site.
  4. Work continues on the Easy R-Con open sewer. Looks like they're doing this in stages. Section closest to Buakhao is now filled in and now they've dug out the next section.
  5. I like adventure, but think I would give this one a miss.
  6. ^^^ I'll have to give the Bosch series a look. But what I'd really like to know, how was the Waffles & Fried Chicken?
  7. Looks like they're finally getting around to backfilling the open sewer. Assuming this is an access shaft to the below ground storm water line, why is it full of water. We haven't had rain for over a week, so I would expect the storm water line to have a minimum amount of water in it. Certainly not this much.
  8. I used Nam's Taxi Service last month and can confirm the rates on her site, while a year old, are correct. Price includes tolls. Highly recommend Nam's service.
  9. More to do with higher than anticipated levels of stress at bolt and rivet holes. Window shape misconception[edit] The accident report's use of the word "window" when referring to the Automatic Direction Finding (ADF) aerial cutout panel[121] has led to a common belief that the Comet 1's accidents were the result of its having square passenger windows. In fact, Comet 1's cabin windows were very similar in shape, with similar corner radii, to those of the Boeing 377 and Douglas DC-7,[122] both of which were pressurised aircraft. The windows in Northwest Airlines' B-377 were in fact lar
  10. I remember too MM posting about driving himself to the hospital while having a heart attack. Found the post. Hope all goes well for you @midlifecrisis.
  11. Looks like Tree Town is getting another row of bars or shops.
  12. The concrete pad across from soi 13/1 has a definite tilt to it now. Seaside edge that was once even with the drain channel has now sunk a good 10cm.
  13. The delay on 2nd Rd is due to work on moving the overhead utility cables underground. Posted last week was a pic of them disassembling and removing the drill.
  14. Not really sure. That area of Buakhao is prone to flooding, so perhaps they're improving the storm water drainage. Previously I posted the following pic of the plans. Perhaps someone that can read Thai could translate.
  15. Preview button the right side of the Reply toolbar.
  16. Soi Pothole update. Starting at the Nightwish bars in the middle of the soi and going towards Buakhao not looking so good. But looking the other way towards 3rd Rd surface still looks ok. Drilling a hole from Soi 7 to Soi 8 on 2nd Rd. Two pumps working to drain the Easy R-Con open sewer swimming pool. Hard to see in this pic, but 2nd pump is on the other end of the hole.
  17. Some snaps from this afternoon on the progress of the repairs. North end, doesn't look like they've done anything. Across from Soi 3, repairs done. Have to say, the footpath has held up well so far. Soi 6 pumps are back, only two days late. Soi 6, repairs underway. Big pow wow underway too. Wonder what creative BS they'll come up with to explain why part of their multi-million baht project got washed away with the first significant rainfall. Across from Soi 12, concrete pad is in worse shape than what I noticed two days ago across from Soi 13/1.
  18. Correct. They've been working on it for a couple of months now w/o anything to show for their efforts, other than a big hole in the ground. Edited to add: I used my mtn bike to get out and take the pics. At one point on Soi 13 all I could see were my handle bars. So yes, I did get my feet wet and quite a bit more.
  19. Had a fair bit of rain this afternoon. Looking down Soi 13 towards Buakhao. Looking back up Soi 13. I can think of better places to enjoy a drink. Buakhao view to the north Buakhao view to the south The Easy R-Con open sewer. Talk about what lurks beneath murky waters. Walk past the green netting and you better be able to swim. Apparently there is a plan for fixing the open sewer.
  20. We had our first significant rainfall this afternoon since the completion of the beach nourishment project. Got out and snapped a few pics after the rain let up as I was curious to see how the beach weathered the storm. Verdict is, not very well. Starting at the north end. Beach vendors were busy cleaning up the footpath as soon as the rain stopped. As expected, the drain channels they installed were completely ineffective. Probably not the best day to be working on the electric control panel. Stage and seating at the Klang intersection.
  21. AirAsia apologises, drops 'Get off in Thailand' promotion
  22. From the latest reports I don't see how we can fault the pilots if there was no instruction given by Boeing on MCAS. Boeing promoted 737 MAX as requiring little additional pilot training Pilots at American Airlines, who are represented by APA, and Southwest Airlines, who are represented by a different union, moved from older versions of the 737 to the MAX by taking an online course that lasted between 56 minutes and three hours, according to union spokesmen. That training included some differences between the two-plane series but did not explain MCAS, they said. "MCAS was i
  23. The article you linked to had this... Stab Trim Cut-Out Switches The MAIN ELEC and AUTO PILOT stab trim cutout switches are now named PRI and B/U on the MAX. The switches are guarded in the NORMAL position (switch up) and CUTOFF is switch down.
