A few plans / things to do in 2006:
* I'm hoping to visit Thailand for four weeks to climb, getting PADI scube-diving and doing some diving along the way. If anyone has been climbing or diving on either coast of Thailand, and could pass on some first-hand or local knowledge, it would be most appreciated (contact to webmaster).
I don't know what people's opinions on the congestion charge is (and I doubt I'm the right part of the population to comment - being a student), but I find the following facts quite amusing:
1) (From Metro Monday) Mr Livingstone made the charges one of his most prominent campaign policies - and he got elected, so why do people now seem to so strongly disagree?
2) (From Private Eye) There were 7000 column inches of whinging about / discussing the charges. There were 0 extra miles of traffic Monday morning.
3) After two days, ie since yesterday, the BBC website hasn't even mentioned the charges. All the controversy and debating has instantly disappeared.
Hmmm...
