From Mike G

Quote your front page .. "One final note: for preferential treatment when you arrive at Heathrow airport, announce that you are a member of Shin Fane (an international Jewish peace organization-the "shin" stands for "shalom")..."

Just a quick note to mention that "Shin Fane" are the Irish terrorist organisation responsible for the murder of 1000's of innocent British citizens. Hope you think this is funny. Many parents in the UK wont.I just want to add that this is the funniest statement I have heard for a long time...

Pass no remarks on this poor character. I come from N.Ireland and live and work in England now. Nobody is offended with that joke I assure you as it has been doing the rounds with English comics for ages and has gone down very well. I think that Simon Isaacs has probably never laughed in his poor shallow, misinformed and bigoted life. Ah well, the fun of politics!

P.S. ask him about Bloody Sunday:)

P.P.S. Say hello to you're beautiful wife! Has she any sisters? ;)

Cheers,
Mike

Holidaying in Singapore Part 3: North District

With the economy being what it is, I thought it might be a great idea to recommend alternative holiday locations that are cheaper. Hence this new 4-parter on Holidaying in Singapore. What better way to spend your vacation cheaply and meaningfully -- okay, cheaply -- than to spend it here in Singapore? Part Three covers the North. Enjoy.
