Topics I've Started

Early Morning Coffee

2010-08-27 20:05:13

Does anyone know where you can get a decent cup of coffee first thing in the morning around 7.30/8.00am in or around the Chaweng area?

We have some wireless installs on at the moment and we're doing them as early as possible to avoid working in the mid-day sun.  

Obviously we need our injection of coffee to get us going.  Just wondered if anyone could recommend a place?

We were disappointed to find Starbucks and Wawee (sp?) Coffee closed at 8am the other day.

Friday Humour

2010-08-06 12:14:41

An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.

So, he bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North.

On his first day, he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call'.  

The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for.

The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God.

The American thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it.  

He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was.  

She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

'O.K., thank you,' said the American.  

He then travelled all across America , Europe, England , Japan , and New Zealand .
In every church he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same '$US10, 000 per call' sign under it.  

The American decided to travel to Thailand to see if the island of Koh Samui had the same phone.

He arrived in Koh Samui and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read  '40 Pence per call.'

The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.   'Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them the price was $10,000 per call.

Why is it so cheap here?'  

The priest smiled and answered, 'you're in Koh Samui now - "This is Heaven," so it's a local call’...

Community Protest Against Drilling In The Gulf Of Siam

Community Protest Against drilling in the Gulf of Siam

  
Please come and join us on Wednesday 7th July at 9:30 in front of the Tetsabahn's office to protest drilling in the Bay of Siam!
This is the final call to stand up and make your voice heard. Can we make a difference? How do we know if we don't try?

We have seen the results of the BP spill recently and know about the promises that oil companies give – even with the best of intentions, accidents can and will happen! What are the other implications of rigs near our tourist islands? Noise? Pollution? Lights? Disturbance to the already fragile marine ecosystem? Come and find out more....

Below is a link to a video which is being aired on Samui Channel this week in Thai. It is a call to arms to everyone who loves Samui and who cares about our future to protect our island from potential disaster.

Below is a summary of the contents:

On Thursday at 9:30am there will be a second and FINAL hearing regarding oil exploration in the bay of Siam only 42 km from Koh Samui, and affecting our neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan and of course Koh Tao.

By law, if there is no opposition the company can go ahead and drill.

Chevron has been coming back and forth to our bay to do oil exploration. They have followed pro forma announcements about public meetings, but the fact is that not many people know about the details.

Now is the last preparation before they actually start the drilling and the last time that the people of the island have to stand up and be counted!.

It is necessary for each person who loves Koh Samui to come to show their concern by attending the protest at 9:30 at the Tetsabahn on Wednesday, July 7th.

Everyone needs to attend! Bring your friends...

We all know what a major oil spill can cause. It is devastating to the environment, the health of each and every person, animal and every person's livelihood. Our island environments of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the Ang Thong Marine National Park would be devastated. And it isn't a remote nightmare, it is happening right here.

Getting Glue Of The Gas Tank

2010-06-24 10:11:05

I knew the moment I asked them to put it on I shouldn't have.... :blink:

I got a Progrip tank guard from Kawasaki on my 650R.  I don't think they even cleaned the tank with alcohol before applying it.  It started peeling off and now has dropped off leaving a sticky mess on the tank....  :bah:

I tried cleaning the glue with ispropyl alcohol as it's quite mild, but wouldn't shift it.  Any ideas what to use?  I don't want to damage the paint work with anything to strong.

Any help appreciated!

650R Power Commander Help

2010-06-17 07:15:05

My friend is in OZ at the moment and (hopefully) will be able to pick me one up.  I've e-mailed the company but no reply.  

I'm not sure which one I need?  I thought the engine on the ER-6N and the 650R were identical except for the fairings?
