The place never feels safe to me, but that is often subjective to knowing where to and not to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i agree Manila in general needs you to have your eyes open, starting with the taxis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 My new install seemed to be going well until the commissioning. The heating valve has been seeping water through the actuator into the switch causing lots of corrosion. One of the guys has rushed off to buy a new one while the other carries on with proving everything else is as it should be. They did have a new valve switch box which could be fitted, but all that is going to happen is the leak will get gradually worse and knacker the new box. I just told them to fit a whole new valve. More expense ☹️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Just been watching a program with the great Gareth Edwards (Welsh Rugby Legend) walking the Neath canals that I regularly walk. Clydach to Trebanos and Neath Basin to Resolven. Was on BBC 4. Makes me want to get back out there, if only the weather could stay dry tomorrow, 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long stressful day. A brand new valve and a brand new pump later, I finally have my heating up and running on a new boiler. Bleeding all of the air out was problematic as expected and there is still some to remove. I need a beer, but none in the house, so it may be a bottle of wine. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDon Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Same manufacturer as my boiler but a different model. That’ll see you out mate. 👍🏆 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But luckily i haven't had any bad experiences, my worst was when my thai girl and i were told to leave a taxi in a dodgy part of town (driver got lost and frustrated) was a bit worried his mates might appear from around the corner. But after some quick walking soon reached civilisation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Just bought £50 of premium Bonds online. Have held just £10 since 1957 and never won a penny. Probably still won't win for the next 20 years but you never know. Not putting thousands in but the lowest holding, anybody has won the big bucks with, has been £15. I have upped my odds lol 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
