Re: Help to avoid future "NS Issues"
Actually you are on the correct path. As long as you contact MINdef/CMPB and explain to them exactly how you explained it here, it should be smooth sailing. The only thing that may post a problem is the bond but there are ways to do that using bankers guarantees. The amount would have to be determin...

I gotta laugh. It's even worse for me. I've actually been here 2x as long as Lisa (literally). Six years is a drop in the bucket.

I remember when that blew up over here. In fact, if we search the archives here around 2016 or 17 I believe there was a thread on it as well.Addadude wrote: ↑Thu, 23 Mar 2023 6:03 pmSomehow I don't think Darlie will have any issues in China.

I've been filing from Singapore for the last 40 years (mine went into the mail to the NC P.O.

Re: PR application chance 2023
I wasn't actually referring to just Singapore, but I wasn't specific. But that was the reason I said stick around and give it a shot but make a plan b. Right now isn't the time to voluntarily shoot oneself in the foot as long as he can hold out through another EP renewal.

Re: Stupid news articles
I believe someone said 'he who ignores history is doomed to repeat it'. The new generation already doesn't know squat about the local history and I think, if there isn't a major shift in the mind-set the little red will not survive to see 2050. Even my own country is well on the way to self-implosio...

Same car but highly modified under the bonnet and the suspension/drivetrain. I've never tried to drive it like Rowen Atkinson sitting in a large chair on the top though.

Re: Frito-Lay source change
Back when I was on my diet hard core I used to make tuna salad and stuff inverted portobello mushrooms and sprinkle grated cheese on top and throw them in the toaster oven. One large stuffed portobello was enough for a meal and stay within my regime.

Re: Will Darlie toothpaste be next?
I went to quite a few minstrel shows back in the day when I was still in high school. In fact, The Elks Club used to have a big deal out of their production in my hometown. (this was before integration. I was in the last segregated class to graduate from my high school.

Slim. But not impossible. As you are married, if you have offspring it may help. Problem is Singapore is shedding IT people left & right. I'd be also looking at a Plan B. Was your education a twinned degree here in Asia or did you do your degree in the UK itself. Yours is a difficult one and it's pr...

Re: Will Darlie toothpaste be next?
It was still Darkie when I got here. a couple of years later it was changed to Darlie. The face was also changed to a shadow face instead of the minstrel face originally used. Most here don't even know what a minstrel was. Probably instigated by a leading edge 'woke' white liberal piece of sh*t.
