Hey Lil Bro, I hope you and H are having a fun time.


In a few hours I shall be getting ready for my flight to Auckland. No snow in Singapore, though there has been lots of monsoon type rain.


I saw in the Singaporean papers today that Britain is thinking about a new law that could see airports heavily fined for disrupting passengers' travel. I also see that further snow is expected? Let's hope that the airports and train stations are better prepared this time. It would be awful if those that were stranded on their outbound journey were also to get caught up in similar chaos on their return journey too. What a nightmarish thought.


Good luck to everyone travelling to/from the UK.

You two getting itchy feet again? Well, as far as I know, the highest hill in Singapore is Bukit Timah which soars to a massive height of...err... 164m. New Zealand now is a different kettle of fish, but I suspect the hills there wouldn't be sufficiently challenging for two dexterous mountain goats like the pair of you. Have you ever considered signing up for Mount Everest? The downside is that you might have to win the lottery first: last time I heard it cost around ?20,000 (minimum):-S.


Many consider the Lake District to be at its most beautiful at this time of year - you might freeze your tits off though!


Happy New Year xx

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
