Has anyone recently carried an electronic cigarette in their hand luggage on a domestic flight? I'm wondering if it's still okay to do so. I last flew (domestic) in May and it was okay then.

That's a shame because it was a decent set-up.

RIP, Eddie. Had planned to visit you early May. Sorry to hear you can't be there. I will miss your dry wit and humour. Safe journey.

Thanks for the information. I've checked the Turftex website and will look at the artificial grass in Thai Watsudu and HomePro. Plenty to be going on with when I'm in Udon next month. Thanks.

Does anyone know where you can buy artificial grass in Udon Thani, suitable to replace a small lawn. Interested to know the price per square metre as well.

You could start with getting your swing better. Lucky Jack Driving Range has good facilities for that. Tuition if needed. 40 baht for 40 balls. Lucky Jack is near Intergames Park, the horse racecourse.

The music video has taken a bit of a panning in the UK concerning the Union Jack's in the opening shot. The first two flags are draped correctly, the others upside down.
