Foodmart in Jomtien has pink salt from Australia, not sure if it's exactly the same sort that you are looking for but it's probably pretty close.
Head towards the meat section and look for the pet food section on the right hand side, down on the bottom shelf you will find a blue box with pink writing.
Murray river possibly? Not sure, but by far the best tasting salt I've found here, and I used to import my salt from the UK distributors.
If you can't find it PM and I'll get a pic over.
Cheers,
Tom.
If it's table or cooking salt it will have anti-caking agents in it and/or be iodised. No good for sticking up your hooter.

Here's a bit of buying advice:
Focus - The focus wheel in the centre of the binoculars should move well. It should be neither too tight nor too loose. Check the wheel feels 'slick'. Now wind the focus wheel until the eyepieces are furthest from the binocular body and while holding the body try to gently push the eyepieces back towards the body with your thumbs. There should be no movement.Flex - Binoculars flex along their central pin to set the distance between the eyepieces for your eyes. Try flexing the binoculars back and forth a few times. The movement should stay quite stiff. If its loose reject them and try another pair.Optics - Look down the objective lens (the big one at the front) of both sides at about arms length distance. You should see no obstructions and the view should show a perfect circle with no obvious flat surfaces.Overall - Check the fit and finish, adjust the binoculars for your eyes and take a look at something in the distance. How does the view look ? Does it come to focus ? If you cant focus or the binoculars show a tendency to create a kind of double vision/boss eyed feeling then reject them and try another pair. -

You are right Sustento in that the emerging NS scene you experienced at clubs like the Twisted Wheel etc in the late 60's must have evolved by the time it hit the ballrooms in the 70's.I can not imagine that spinning , jumping then splits type dancing being very comfortable in the generally cramped for space clubs we danced to soul in the 60's.
I really hope CCC is able to download the documentary on The Wheel as there is so very little visual stuff before the ballroom scene in the mid 70'S.
Dancing like that simply wasn't possible in most of the places I went to.

I've seen a few videos of Wigan Casino which was later than the Wheel and it looks very much bigger which would have given more room to dance in. Both the Wheel and the Dungeon had their dance floors in the basement which made them quite confined. I had a friend called Monty who was 6'4" and he had to bend his head in the Dungeon so as not to touch the ceiling

For those who want to know the correct lipid abnormalities associated with metabolic syndrome they are:
high triglycerides
low HDL (not low LDL)
Hint: LDL is bad for you, so low LDL is good. HDL is good for you, so low HDL is bad.
He must have been sick the day they covered that at Oxford and Cambridge.
Yes I did (typos are carrion for the crows...such is life); was watching Dr Thomas Dayspring lectures on utube...lipidologist. Interesting lecture, easy watching...take a look...he's not selling anything either!!!
What's your GMC number?

I have to admit (and I suspect this won't make me very popular
) that I really enjoy the discomfiture and embarrassment of governments (including my own) being caught on the hop and not practising what they preach. What's even more entertaining is watching the 'my country right or wrong crowd' trying to justify their government's actions. Although I'm not from the US and I'm no great admirer of Ronald Reagan he had it spot on when he said the '9 most terrifying words' - "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"

The unemployment rate may not be zero but he has a good point that it is close enough to zero to say it's not an issue of getting a job in Thailand that's a problem but perhaps only how much it pays and the conditions.
Agree, there is work if you want to work, and are not an invalid or retarded person.
Just yesterday I was at Sirikit Convention Center and picked up some brochure with a list of open positions:
around 2,000 open positions
I see plenty ofwanted signs wherever I go in bkk.
The vast majority of the population of Thailand doesn't live in Bangkok...

Being a nice chap I'll ask one more time. What are you going to use them for?
Bird-watching - a pair of 8x40 or 8x42 would be good
Ship-watching - 7x50s
Star-watching - anything from a 10x50 to a 15x70.
You get a better stereoscopic effect with bins rather than spotting scopes which are usually larger and heavier for the same light gathering capacity.

From the OP's post his son is actually applying to join the Marines.
A point of Order and History, the Americans have Marines who are a service all on their own, Great Britain have the Royal Marines who are a part of the Royal Navy.
I know that but all the posts so far assume he's going into the RN. For instance if he's going to be a marine he won't be going to Raleigh but Lympstone for his training
