Welcome newbie. You haven't caught us on our finest day, it must be said. Many of us here have happy memories of Singapore and some of us have been Arsenal fans for 2 years or more. WES loves Singaporean food but only if it's served from an all-u-can eat buffet in a cheap hotel in Dubai. Crazy Canucks, eh? Whaddya gonna do?Quote:

The Dutch are mental for it, though. All I can say about it is that there can't be many Indonesians with peanut allergies because every fecking thing is full of peanuts.Quote:

Christ, I'd have thought Spaniards had more sense.Quote:
