    In fact, r, my retirement list currently looks like this:

    1. Cumbria
    2. Cornwall (Too crowded)
    3. Southern France (Too many euros required)
    4. Thailand (Can't go until the wife's 50)
    5. Cambodia (Too gangstery for the missus' taste)
    6. Tanzania (Too much chance of instability)
    7. Zambia (No sea)

    As you can see, this is a most pleasing list. Which is your favourite?

    Yer malaysian chinaman is a nice enough chap. Pro-british, not particularly pro-China, and they dont mind you having a beer and a fag.

    Wonderful food, great weather, and the E&O. Heavenly.

    Ridiculous reason for doing anything, if I may say so. You can't take it with you.

    Man up and make more of it.

    You can make more of it by getting more 'bang for your buck'. Anyway, Penang is beautiful. It even has a Downing Street

    The food, with the exception of roti canai, can't compare to Thailand though, can it? Or Cambodia. Or the 'Nam.

    I would say the food in Penang is the equal of anywhere I have been. The chinese food is, without question, the best I have ever tasted by a mile.

    That said, I always go to Penang with a Penangite so he chooses where we eat and takes us to the best places.

    Yes. That's like your boss saying, "Instead of me paying you more, why don't you just move to a worse neighbourhood."

    Terrific.
