Well, the forum title and explanation is:
Rest of the World
Not in Singapore ? Tell us what it's like where you are.

Well, I used to be in Singapore for about six years and now I'm in a country where fatwas are called on dances, yoga and selling beer in 711s. That's part of what it is like here.

Odd place . . . nice and annoying at he same time

Ditto that.
Life is comprised of infinite possibilities; some known, others a mystery and destined to remain so. And what of the vast unknown, the realms beyond which knowledge has no established boundaries or parameters? Who is to say what exists or what is possible?

Prayer has no place in public schools. Just like facts have no place in organised religion.

Not really, you are the only one in the history of this forum to request a name change.
So…if you wish to wish a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.

But maybe no-one thought it was possible - now you will be inundated with requests.

But, hang on a minute, are you saying that Peeking Duck did not request a name change - you or another just arbitrarily whisked the duck away without him requesting it?

Oh, psahw! That's just people telling porkies about us . . .

You should try my local, Parsley Bay, very cute beach and hardly any people . . . not 20m from our place! (which has been empty now for years)
