I fully appreciate this is a habit and fitness issue. Interesting that running helps your neck and back PNGMK, I had never heard of running helping with posture.

Anyway I found someone to help with short term treatment. Thanks everyone

Wow I didn't realise how old this was. Just saw the conversation at the top of the list and and wanted to steer him/anyone away from being ripped off by the banks

A bit off topic, but I'm in Andorra at the moment and caught the Spanish F1 earlier this month (down the road in Barcelona). Great track! Can't wait for Singapore.

Neil, seriously consider using a service like Transferwise or one of the many internet Forex brokers. You'll get a FAR better rate than any of the banks will give you. OR, bring cash up to your limit (not sure if UK has a limit on leaving, SG has it on bringing it in), then change it at the money ch...

Home Schooling. It's becoming bigger and bigger here in recent years (still small though). There are some threads on this board. Try our search function here. Yes, I understand. It's something we have looked at but it's a huge responsibility. Maybe I'm being an insecure parent here but I don't know...

I have a confession... I have neglected my posture over the last decade or so and that's really coming back to bite me now. Basically I've spent my life looking down at my phone and tablet and now I'm getting bad neck pain and some serious headaches. I have been to 4 physios now, given them all a ch...

100%. How do we stop schools from trying to incorporate them in anything/everything?

Hi ParanoidAndroid, how did you go with the US LLC? Are you proceeding? I was looking into the same and have since been told to consider a company in Malta. On face value they are the most complicated looking structures around (!) but I'm assured the end result is a very low tax rate and thanks to t...

Thanks Mickey_Sg I didn't know about them. I'll check them out!

I end up buying most of mine online. If you're particular about what you want the range in SG is just too limited.

For me it's more about the stuff I simply cannot get in Singapore. For instance, I get a lot of my fitness supplements from the UK. Some don't ship internationally so instead I bring a suitcase when visiting London. Vegemite and rum from Australia, I like the toothpaste from Canada, the deodorant I ...

Wow ok, so SG salaries aren't what they used to be!

Thanks PNGMK, I've also been looking into co-working spaces as a good way to meet new people.

There are a lot of clubs. IF you're American the American club makes some sense as it has discounted membership for Americans and offers some useful facilities down town but it's also crowded and expensive for F&B. Tanglin and the like are useful for networking and hosting functions if you're into ...

Warnings heeded everyone!

Thanks for the heads up, and for the detailed run down Strong Eagle!
