Again... what I've been hearing all week... Friend: " I only drink on 2 days" Me: "Which 2 special days?" Friend: "Raining & non-raining days" Me: :roll: We should all drink on days that end in 'Y'. I find the biggest problem is that I usually have more than two beers on the go at one time but I on...

Sonia, you really are his spokeswoman, isn't it? Before it all gets out of proportion, here's my thinking: Several of us asked for certain locations, but especially Oosters. Deadpoet first doesnot say why not, then tells Carpe Diem it is not a bar but a restaurant (with drinks served) and chooses I...

Having lived in Bangkok, hailing from down under and now living in Singapore, putting some context to your comments would help you understand Singapore a little better. Hotels are expensive and not as friendly in Oz, cheap ...

Plastic bags is a big concern - I am working with a company to try and change this...although changing behaviours embedded in cultures is a tedious and long project, could take 100's of years!!!! :o Another one that has got me is oth...
