Thats an excellent idea!

And we'll have to make sure we sing louder than the northerners singing "we'll never walk alone"

Aw thanks mate - but in the East End, you can only buy one type of pie in a pie and mash shop. There is no choice or variety, its just a "meat" pie (they say its minced beef, but that is questionable.........) so I'm going to be making my own pies. I now also have the recipe for jellied eels and liq...

Blimey - Singapore may be a bit of a shock to your system then. You'll be replacing fresh mountain air with humid smog, green mountains with concrete towers, and musical French for squarky Singlish - lah! But its not all bad. And the food is fabulous (which may be why you can't get jellied eels here...

Yes, of course. There is a pub close to the M25 exit, I think its the Volunteer? Used to do excellent chinese food. I lived in Loughton for about 5 years. Mainly lived in South Woodford, then near Braintree just before we came out here. Ooh, and mustn't forget my stint in Walthamstow! My mother-in-l...

I am. Well, just about. East London.

Although just before moving here we lived in deepest darkest Essex.


When are you coming to the Sauna?

actually, I don't think its really cat food. Its much much worse than that!

Are you a londoner then?

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. I thought they used the juice from the eels though? Thats what gives it that unique disgusting taste and texture? Mind you, there aren't many Eastenders coming to watch the footie, mainly Aussies and New Zealanders, so I guess I shouldn't scare them with the real ...

May 13th, the Hammers will be playing in their first FA cup final since 1980, and my husband is so excited he has invited everyone round to our house for some pie, mash and jellied eels, and a few dozen cans of beer, to watch the game. Now, pie and mash I can just about manage. But where on earth do...

Anyway, my point is that often (note: not always), people in the service industry are treated like crap all day. I'd be rude and surly after a few years of that too.[/quote] I take your point, I have worked in the service industry and have had to deal with some fairly shitty characters. But, unfortu...

As the whole eposode was unwinding, I was texting my husband (where the language wasn't nearly as clean as what was being said out loud) and he was telling me to hold on and he would be there in a few minutes and would sort it out. But, one of the hardest things for me to adapt to living here in Sin...

:o I'm gonna open yet another can of worms. Whether western women are easy or not is irrelevant! And if some people are gullable, or vulnerable, that shouldn't give anyone the right to exploit it. The level of service should be the same regardless of race, age, size or sex. Really appreciate all the...

Anyone who’s lived in Singapore for more than a couple of months will be familiar with the “cannot-lah”

I'd just like to point out that not all Essex Girls are blonde bimbo's with questionable morals.

Some of us have are brunette.

Can't have been that secret if you witnessed it!

I meant, what is "swiss master" all about?

Swiss master eh?

Whats that all about??!!!!
