Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Well you were right about the ease of use issue. It took me about half an hour before I was confident enough to click the 'rename' button but once I had then I did in about an hour what I thought would take me a week. Still a lot to do though. The operations I want to do at the moment are simple fin...

Many thanks, Strong Eagle, I'll give it a go and try not to come back and pester everyone again!

The filenames I chose a few years back to store documents have now proved to be unworkable. Consequently I need to do a lot of selective 'finding and replacing' or spend a good number of the remaining hours I have left on this earth doing repetitive typing. I am aware that there a few free downloads...

Anyone who considers standards of driving in Singapore to be horrendous clearly hasn't driven in some parts of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, anywhere in Africa or even Italy. I refuse to drive in my current location where the line markings seem to be a rough guide only, 1 way streets are routinel...

So no one has noticed the great local television being broadcast right under their noses? Here are my selections for all time fantastic locally produced English language television: Comedy – Under One Roof. 2 families, each with one fat person in them, live in next door flats in Bishan. Truly a laug...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Only Fools & Horses. You are dead right, it is wrongly overlooked. BBC Prime is showing it here, just saw the one where Grandad goes up to take down the chandelier. And what about the one where they pretend to be professinal tennis players to pick up the birds? ...

Oh please, this talk of taxidermists brings the memories flooding back! When I was a kid we had 2 rabbits, Mr & Mrs Wuffles who passed away on the same night. Seeing how distraught me and my baby brother were at the loss, Dad took us to the taxidermists to have them stuffed. The taxidermist asked "S...

A wonderfully subjective topic........... My vote would have to go to The Sweeney - decades a ahead of its time, and of course Dr Who - the new series' have my kids running behind the sofa just as I did following Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Tom "I am the dok-tah" Baker. Comedy - well I have a...

Ah well, that's another 2 hours of my life down the drain.......

The triangle equidistance is my nemesis! Did anyone else find that they score higher doing it quickly rather than try to get it just perfect?

Sitting in the barber’s chair the other day, the inequality about the number of posts requesting information about good places to eat and where to get a decent haircut struck me. Personally I have always found getting a haircut overseas pretty stressful, especially when you don’t speak the local lan...

Have you considered Simei? On one side you could be close to a bus going past Expo or in the centre you will have the MRT and all the shops/restaurants you want at Eastpoint Mall.

Gosh, having been tempted out of lurkdom by SMS I find I can hardly stop myself.......... I tried Chang and Singha a couple of years back, I admit purely because it was the cheapest. Whether my wallet was bribing my tastebuds I cannot say for sure but I believed it was better. Going back to Tiger fe...

Let's see, off the top of my head, Myself, yourself, Saint, ksl & Breaker Morant are five on this forum that I know of off the top of my head that have mixed marriages. edited to add RichD to the list as well even if he is currently in Turkey. Gone but still lurking from time to time and flattered ...

I would suggest that you ask your girlfriend/wife to check you have finished before lighting up the post coital fag.

………… it has been a long time since I cast pearls from my keyboard onto this forum and I have been meaning to do so since I heard the news at the end of April that Humphrey Lyttleton had passed away. A combination of work, family commitments and indolence have conspired to delay this posting, in part...
