Living in SIN (er ... that's Singapore!)
| "For some ridiculous reason to which, however, I've no desire to be disloyal, |
| Some person in authority, I don't know who, very likely the Astronomer Royal, |
| Has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days as a rule are plenty, |
| One year in every four his days shall be reckoned as nine-and-twenty." |
| W S Gilbert : The Pirates of Penzance |

Oh no - another Irish pub! |

Courtesy please - and don't even think about chewing gum! |
 |
Well, really ... public nudity ... tsk, tsk! |
 |
Ahem! Who would you be more worried about : your immediate neighbour or everybody else? |
 |
Police Notice - those damn cattle and horses are the scourge of Singapore!

Sunday cricket - and the gear's still the same in this heat! |
