A small bomb exploded outside of the
Bangkok residence of the chief adviser to King Bhumibol Adulyadej at
approximately 1400 local time on 9 March 2006. The explosive device was
reportedly hidden under a stone bench close to the residence's security booth.
The blast damaged three vehicles and injured a British national. Some reports
also indicate that a Canadian national also sustained injuries. The perpetrator
of the attack has not been identified.

Separately on 9 March, more than 500 protesters marched from Lumpini Park to the
Singapore Embassy to demand the cessation of the sale of shares in Shin Corp.,
owned by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's family, to a Singaporean company.
The protesters also marched to the Securities and Exchange Commission and to the
Stock Exchange before returning to their protest base at the Sanam Luang field.
The protesters threatened to boycott Singaporean products unless the sale of
Shin Corp. is cancelled. Although there has been no official report, the boycott
is likely to begin on 10 March. The protesters announced that the boycott will
include approximately 100 products associated with Thaksin and may also include
products associated with Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai party, which includes Toyota
and 7-Eleven convenience stores. The protesters have threatened to conduct
protest marches to the business headquarters of the companies included in the
boycott. Approximately 30,000 employees of state enterprises are expected to
join a three-day protest in Bangkok on 13 March.

Just another story that caught my eye on Udondee today, I report without comment.
A Thai man aged 44 whilst in a drunken state sexually molested and raped a 69 year old woman working in a rice field in the Udon area.The police have been informed.

was he the only one in the race...........

i always knew he was hungry for a win.

Jenson had been in second place closing leader Alonso down until Alonso pitted. After which Jenson was leading on his own merit (and after starting from 14th place). Alonso then went out with a technical failure shortly after his pit stop.

Schumacher progressed up to 2nd then back down to 4th before also going out with I believe a combination of tyre failure and other technical/collision problems.

yeah guys, you should hear the noise here!

last week, here in blighty, Jenson was being
interviewed on the 'Top Gear' programme and
was asked, "well Jenson, when are you gonna
win a race?"

the interviewer, Jeremy Clarkson, now has his answer!

excellent news!
