  1. Calling it Quits :o ?

    I'd win poll if I ran _ Thaksin

    Deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has told Time Magazine he has no political ambitions but voiced confidence he would win if he ran in an election now. ''I'm quite confident that if I ran [for election]today, I would win,[but] I have no political ambitions. I am calling it quits,'' he said.

    The interview was conducted in Tokyo on Jan 25 and made available on the magazine's website yesterday. It dealt with issues earlier covered in other interviews with the US media.

    Mr Thaksin also blasted the coup that ousted him on Sept 19, the generals who staged it, the interim government's economic policies, and the media.

    He denied any connection with the New Year bombings that left three people dead and 42 injured.

    He said allegations of graft against him were ''baseless''. He said he had used ''strong words'' against the media when he was in power because they ''printed groundless information about me''.

    Of the capital controls and proposed Foreign Business Act changes, he said ''no one can adopt protectionism anymore. Thailand has to be ready for globalisation _ you cannot turn your back on it.''

  2. Thanks for the replies.

    LP, I did search before and also emailed to a few of the sites which gave information on cultivating them. But to date, none of them replied. And the ones that did reply, replied in the negative. So, I was wondering if anyone was cultivating them here in man-made ponds.
