Re: places maybe i should have gone to
Hi Rob
The drinks in the Long Bar are very expensive. I went to HOOTERS on Clark Quay, the Tiger was the cheapest at
11 dollars, but it was worth it just to look at the pretty girls.
Cheers
Brian

Re: places maybe i should have gone to
I was in a Dry Dock near Jurong for a whilst , There was a tiny shopping parade , with a bar / cafe , the Tiger and anchor there were $9 a bottle and the Guinness $12 but they did not chill the Guinness at all , the locals liked it at ambient , it was the first Foreign Extra Stout Guiness hat I had had for years , at 7.5% ABV , you did not want too much of it either , and although , i had a glass of ice to pour it in the taste was still there . The toothless Mamma San was not wearing those disgusting orange shorts either , horrible colour !!!!!

Brian did that one with my 5 week old beard come out. Is now about 7 weeks old and still just surviving, has turned white with the worry of being cut off in its prime. I don't mind the orange shorts, Rob just says that in the hope you have some photos of her with them off. Cheers John S.
