Ah well, lightweights then! Seriously though, that's a fair effort to give up something you're hitting like that.

Fair play to both of you.

Scary stuff. I'm 56 and, although never a heavy drinker, have been drinking since 17 or 18 but that was a 1st for me. The wife was recounting what had happened during those few hours and it was honestly like I hadn't been there.

We were in Dundee at the time!

The one and only time in my life when I have no memory of events was at my neighbours sari sari store with a couple of neighbours and a guy from London - we were on the Red Horse and Tanduay. Genuinely lost 2-3 hours of that night. Frightening to look back on how that can happen due to the bevvy, and it wasn't even good bevvy! You're probably right about the food, but it's a bit too rustic for my taste at times. Adobo, sisig and of course Lechon are a match for anything but not so much onboard with some of the other stuff. Especially the way they insist on putting cheese in fruit salad and ice cream!

Agree with most of that. I'm partial to the odd Jollibee and Mang Inasal and put them on the same level as McDos and BK etc. Filipino food (the real stuff) may not be on the same level as Thai/Indian/Japanese but I'd say it's better than Cantonese, and Korean for example. Obesity is more of a problem here than in much of the rest of Asia - too much rice, sugary food and soft drinks IMO - also, they don't seem to do much exercise. San Mig is the Dog's bollocks, whilst Red Horse is simply bollocks! (Only joking to some extent - I have a couple of bottles of it at the weekend - needs to be ice cold though)

FFS...how hard is it?

I reckon most Japanese and Koreans have the same level of sedentary work as the UK does. Japanese working culture is known for it's lifetime employment system which ends to breed inefficiency and time-wasting.

There must be more to it than that though. People in countries like Japan and Korea work longer than most . They have an abundance of fast food options, and convenience stores are on every corner. They consume alcohol liberally. Yet obesity isn't as much of a problem as it is in the UK.

Impressive. I guess in terms of hassle for the owner it's a great option, but cost wise I wonder if it's even more expensive than an on-site build as the same labour and materials would be needed and you need to factor in transport and crane cost etc. I'd also worry a little about whether the final build would fit exactly as it should. All that said though, quite impressive.

Therein lies the problem.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't springs to mind.

Mines has a slide cover that you can, well, slide and it blacks out the screen but the camera is still activated. Thus, you can genuinely say my camera is on and pretend you have no idea why they cannot see you. You can even send a screenshot showing your camera icon is activated. Pure genius whoever though of it. Alternatively, aye, a bit of tape over the lens will do the same job!

I do...9.5 hours with it on. Not too bad for me 'cos I don't have to look at the screen so I don't look at them and I forget I'm on camera.

You say that like it's a bad thing

Don't Utd use gate money, season ticket money etc to pay players' wages?

IF we beat Dunfermline then we buy some breathing space, same as picking up even a point at Tynecastle. I still think 2nd is more than achievable given we are struggling for form yet are still up there. I'd swap a win v any of the 3 As for a win against Dunfermline.
