And aw, come on, I heard you chuckling at one of them all the way over here!

Is that another attempt at humour?


EADG,
What's your stance on eating meat?

I think you would face more objections from people in this forum than from the Police. Going after pavement cyclists is probably not one of the priorities.

It's probably ok if it's not crowded and you are careful and do not ram into or become a nuisance to anyone.

I belived it was chosen because it had some industry and was relatively unscath in the war, the argument was that detonating the A bomb over a previously un-bombed or little-bombed city would better illustrate the destructive effects of the A bomb. sorry some errors, I believe that there is now an a...

Congrats SMS, must have taken a lot of determination on your part,

Any side effects, tiredness, irritability, urge to head butt your opponents?

but more importantly, what does the mrs think about your new found vigor?

same reason why the Japanese government built a "Peace" Memorial in Hiroshima and refused to build a proper one in Nagasaki, sites of the atomic bombs in WW2. Nagasaki had a significant number of Koreans, many in forced labour camp/factories. Selective ammensia.

and the people in the coffee shops too if you venture and talk to them,

I thought you were referring to "people coming in for visa applications" ?

so the Malaysians were rude to Singaporeans, not too surprising, but wait,weren't they employed by the Singapore High Commission. How can?

Ah ha!, its's the Malaysians again, knew it, Wasn't it a Malaysian newspaper article that prompted Ozchick to start this thread?

perhaps also the influence of the internet that has enabled people to engage across space and time with a certain degree of anonymity.

and a little bit of advice should you choose to ignore the collective wisdom expoused here and go after them, Geckos and cikcaks when threatened, are liable to shed their tails, tails that will continue to wriggle independently and attack you while their former owners make a quick getaway. You would...

yes humour helps and Ozchick seems to have found some great strategies Melly, You are certaintly not alone in feeling frustrated with customer service here, even locals often feel a little short changed. Personally I find product knowledge among sales staff, wanting. Not sure if it is the lack of tr...

rental bikes are mostly of poor quality, why not buy a used one. I believe Treknology at Holland Grove Rd has some.

Vitamin E and Aloe Vera creams are supposed to be helpful.

use repellents to avoid bites and anti itch cream for bites.

a rhetorical question. going by some of the arguments here, should the same term be permitted to refer to east asians and people with Down Syndrome. Double standards? granted that one should be sensitive to others, I am of the context and tone persuasion and would use the term only with Caucasians I...

you might be able to get the landlord to do it for you, look up the yellow pages or one of those renovation guides in the book stores. You should be able to get some quotes on a per sq foot basis if you call them. Basically aluminium grills are cheaper, they are adequate for safety (to prevent child...
