nocturn

its not limited to my eyes mate.

How poor you were never had anything to do with it in any school i went to, and i'm really thinking hard to try and think of a kid that was ever picked on due to a physical defect.

I'm figuring your parents were comfortably off and you did not get to school on the short bus.

According to Google earth and a sat nav bearing I am 465 feet above sea level and even on the clearest of days I cannot see the rigs South of here even with binoculars. Maybe the protesters so concerned about the spoilt view could have stopped the eyesore of a wind turbine they have desecrated Koh Tao with ? Or is it like most enviro loonies there are good and bad eyesores.

Wind turbine blighting the landscape of a tropical island and producing very little electricity = Good

Oil rig providing jobs and badly needed revenue = Bad ?

Just my two pence worth

Although I have some reservations regarding the rigs I'm in full agreement that the wind turbines are a blight.Besides the ugliness

of the structures there is also the noise and the impact on birdlife.

Was there ever a public discussion regarding the turbines? Who owns them? Was there an Environmental impact study? and so on and on.

In my opinion there is no cost benefit case whatsoever, they cannot replace existing power supplies since they can't operate when there is no wind.

Perhaps they should re-locate them on the oil rigs

can anyone direct me to a pic of the turbines?

edit:sorry didn't see above request

just called true to complain after a week at 1.5kb/s. They said nothing was wrong with my line. 15 mins after i got off i was downloading with utorrent at 750+. strange days indeed.

you've been done mate. dam_n them all.

i'll bite. sounds like you have been pretty unlucky. not all of us are the same -- that goes for both sides.

I feel your pain Ved!

It is the same one most of us torrenters feel when we notice all the Skype users hogging the bandwidth to avoid paying the incredibly cheap long distance rates charged in Thailand.

Inaccurate answer. p2p systems use a lot more bandwith than Skype or anything else in the Internet these days. This is a fact.

And about the pain.... Errr, today it seems to be more about yours than mine

stupid answer, skype is p2p

As I am fairly new to this topic, I don't know if this has previously been discussed (if so, just ignore me ). In one of Steve Slater's commentary's he suggested the concept of doing away with the blue flags.

Obviously, this is unlikely to happen. But it is an interesting idea. Thoughts?

I would pretty much ignore Slaters commentary. He is frequently wrong (Gary Anderson seems to correct him a few times every race) and has a habit of repeating the same things every race day.

i would imagine this one comes from one of the large beverage companies already established in thailand. i haven't tried it but it's probably terrible.

Oh my word, even for TV this is a gem of pointlessness. You could have just written, "I know nothing about this beverage, where it comes from, who it's made by, or what it tastes like". Seriously, why bother replying to something you know nothing about? I'm just curious.

i beg to differ, tv would be a vaccum without this type of post.

Couldn't you pay your way out and safe yourself the hassle of going to court?

i did try but not an option , 3 officers and one angry captain at road check-point!

mae haad at sunset by any chance?

university girl to underage bar skank in sixty seconds. sounds pretty desperate to me.
