Edit #3 : Comment section ada video of the incident happening in real time.

Help me choose between these 3.

Asquith — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 19:54:38 +0800

Looking for opinions on this.

Need there are these 3 options available for me and I need to select 1.

Maintenance is not under me as it is a company car.

Situation :
Boss A : Take the Touareg.
Boss B : Take the Volvo XC90.
Myself : I prefer a Land Rover Defender but it is not an option.

The choices are :-

1.) 14 month old Volvo XC90, it is a full specification PHEV minus the B&W sound system. It has a 118 number plate. I do not like the white colour. Also car reeks as the previous person that used it smoked in it. Boss B said to take this because it projects a better image and is more comfortable to ride in.

2.) 3 month old VW Touareg. It is a full specification model with the 3.0l engine in it. It has a 168 number plate. Only done 900km as the person it was purchased for resigned 2 weeks after getting it and it had been parked since then. Boss A told me to take on this car as it came out of his budget last Jan.

3.) New Volvo XC60, full spec PHEV model. Random number and any colour I want. Both bosses are indifferent to it. It does not drive anywhere near as well as the Touareg but I like it in the sense that it feels less bulky to drive.

Also primarily driven from house to office which is 9km away. The other usage would be to visit clients, visit sites (mainly production and research facilities up to 200km away) and some entertainment purposes due to the line and job role.

I do not have a car charger at the place I live at and the ones at work place are public ones that are always full.

Relationship with single parent?

Asquith — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 22:01:04 +0800

Has anyone tried this? Specifically dating a lady that has a kid but no longer with the father of the kid.

Thoughts? Did it end well? Else why it failed?

Any risks involved when donating blood?

Asquith — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 18:32:57 +0800

Are there any risks involved when donating plasma and platelets?

How is it different from regular RC blood donations?

Been "invited" to donate and noticed from videos it is done using a machine rather than it being collected in a blood bag.

Digitising hand writing.

Asquith — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:19:48 +0800

I am looking for some suggestions.

Basically I have some very old diaries that are starting the fade due to the quality of the paper of the era as some of them are pre 1900s.

The handwriting on them is a bit difficult to read as it makes doctor's handwriting more legible by comparison.

Is there anything I could buy to digitise the image and also convert the writings into a MS Word or *.txt format as I would like to use some of the contents to publish a memoir.

Last post for a while.

Asquith — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 15:06:42 +0800

Ok folks.

Last post from me for a while until I figure out how to get Tor working.

I promise the next time I log on there would be a long and very detailed FR on being an anal swab test being done on arrival.

Everyone take care and stay safe.

JB the moist badly affected city in MY due to C19?

Asquith — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 21:37:36 +0800

Is JB the most badly affected city in Malaysia?

Driving by the malls seem dead empty, many shops have been shuttered with for rent signs on them and once well known places for food etc seem to have closed.

Even the many “hotels” have been shuttered.

In contrast even Shah Alam, PJ and KL seem to better weather this pandemic?

Any idea if it is simply the lack of Singaporeans or is something else?

Fuel prices change on Wednesday.

SOS : The TM of my imaginary petrol stations. Obviously.

Asquith — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 13:09:57 +0800

Other than Thompson Medical are there any other places that offers drive through Covid-19 testing?

Ideally prefer a KLCC area location or somewhere nearby.

Do you know anything about those wars?

RM20k/month, long time never increase.

Asquith — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 18:43:55 +0800

/K if I remember correctly this RM20k/month salary standard has existed since 2015/2016.

Is it not time that we have a revision of this standard?

You know inflation. Also cars have become a lot more expensive and keeping extra women or sugarbabies also going up in price these days.

Is it time to revise the standard to RM25k/month NETT?

Reason(s) for the two timing? How long did it go on for and did you get busted? How did you get busted?

Does the TnG in our MyKad expire?

Asquith — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 09:04:03 +0800

I realised yesterday that TnG cards have an expiry as I drove through a SmartTag lane and it gave the dreaded notice.

Thankfully I had some TnG credit in my MyKad and was able to pass that toll without any issues beyond just the inconvenience of reversing.

First time experiencing this.

This got me wondering, does the same happen to our MyKad as well?

What do you know or remember of the Falkland War?

Asquith — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 08:28:05 +0800

Who here know or remember of the Falkland War?

I love reading on the Falkland War because I generally like reading about wars that are won by Great Britain.

However the reason why I enjoy reading on this is because it was the only time where a BAe Harrier and an Avro Vulcan bomber saw active duty.

Ford Laser TX3.

Asquith — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 14:08:55 +0800

Anyone here lucky enough to have owned a Ford Laser TX3 in the 90s?

The car that would smoke even a Honda Accord of the era.

Hardly see any surviving examples these days.
