So what inspired you to have signature about "the taste of sperm"?

Pardon! where did that come from.

babelfish at a guess <g>

J5, Is the signature Russian or greek? If you don't know, please can I have one of whatever you are smoking, either that or Saturday night must have continued into Sunday morning for you. . . . . . . . . . .

Hemingway.

P.S. - someone once told me that it's a lot to do with what the 'donor' has been eating relatively recently.

Its Russian.

Yes Andy, I started with Babelfish, which also told me he was "beating his quince" (!?!)
Then checked it with half-a-dozen others and the only thing they all agreed on was the "taste of sperm" bit.

Hemingway, too much information!

Still puzzled by the full meaning, and why it is this person's signature.

The mind boggles.

If you check this person out, you will find he spends most of his time on the Australian forum, and mainly on mindless/slightly obscene threads, with a very limited group of like-minded people.
Why he should suddenly pop up on here with a strange two word post and a russian signature about bodily fluids I do not know.
Probably best to forget he ever happened?

Agree with you, there are some really odd threads which make my hair: scaredhair: we are so good generally on here, or nieve

This is a general question on inverters. I am curious that those of you who spend say half the year in Goa and half in UK (basically those who are away from Goa for a longish periods) do anything special to keep the inverters in good shape. Do you leave them connected to mains and batteries while you are away, or do you disconnect them? What are the pros and cons of leaving them connected or disconnected for long periods while one is away?

Good question!
Although we are (or were) trying to spend most of the year in Zimbabwe-on-Sea, we did have to leave our inverter for four months, a few months after we bought it.
Couldn't get any advice locally so thought it through and decided that it would be better left on and connected. Any battery (the most expensive part of the system) will be happier going through a charge/discharge cycle and it also meant that security devices could be connected to the UPS connection in the sound knowledge that they would remain "live" at all times.
The only maintenance the system needs is topping up the distilled water in the cells. As I wouldn't trust the locals to sell me distilled water instead of tap water, I make my own by either defrosting the old fridge (new one is frost-free) or using the mobile AC which produces at least 5 litres per night.

I agree - a battery left for several months will discharge itself, and a discharged battery will sulphate up and be un-recoverable.
Good modern inverters have a low voltage intermittent trickle charge phase, and most deep-cycle batteries these days are fully sealed (so no water needed).
'Course if a fuse blows while you're away, or the electricity dept decides you haven't paid and cuts you off you're £00's up the Swanney.

Most deep-cycle batteries in UK are sealed, have you found these in Goa, and most important, at a sensible price?

In my case I have the inverters serviced on a regular basis so problems are minimal.
Also there is always someone in the property whilst I am away.
