Re: No detente in Prachuap

The current plant produces rolled sheet steel which has relatively little waste and environmental impact, the new one they want to build will produce ingot which creates a lot of slag and more pollution which is why the locals are opposing it.

Re: One month in HH, how to get connected?

Yes, you can only use True with iPhones (not sure on the iPad) unless you jailbreak it - (which is perfectly legal and safe now) most of them are locked into specific carriers. I did with my iPhone and it worked fine with my One-2-Call sim using Edge/GPRS ... that is until it went swimming!

Re: Detoxification

Well its that time of year again, dry month and detox week! I'm three days in and it so far it is easier than last year as I know what to expect now. One immediate observation is it has sapped my energy levels quicker - maybe I'm getting old now or maybe I should stop trying to pedal up hills while ...

I get the glare and hate driving at night anyway so if that's the only major side effect no worries. Also no problem if I have to wear reading glasses later on. Will find out about furth...
