"Been through bad time lately with suffering with this. Dark thoughts as well. I know some posters on here suffer with this. Anyone come through the other side of this shit?

"A number of posters have been yellow carded and told to stay off this thread unless they have anything constructive to add.This is a thread that has been very useful to so many, for any other posters with scores to settle, argue on another thread. This thread is sacrosant.Thank you"

"Peckham - sorry mate, didn’t get a whomail notification (Mods - it’s still fucked) so didn’t know you had tried to get in touch until now. I have replied to you, but I’m getting on a plane in a bit so please don’t think I’m ignoring you"

"Well, someone has to. Thank you to everyone that kept me active and talking tonight - here, whomail and those DEVIL SOCIAL MEDOA PLATFORMS - you will likely never know how much that means to me. I am ok, I’m gong to sleep now and then I’m flying back to the UK in 10hrs. Marvellous"

"Spot on Darby - the word I hate here the most from the native Singaporeans is ‘cannot’ Tried to get in our data centre that I signed the contract for last year, using Joe, and because my passport say Joseph, the bellend at the security gate refused to let me in. I had a van with me with about half a million’s worth of server and network gear and he just wouldn’t have it. All he kept just saying “Name not same. Cannot” They’re also talking about imposing a law here that you can’t walk along staring at your phone. I am absolutely, fully behind this"

"Singapore is a great place. Full of culture, well put together and the food is sensational. But for some reason the people and the television are boring as fuck."

"Top tip - undershirts. Sounds counterproductive in a country who has two types of weather - hot, and hot and wet - but you’ll thank me for it"

Will do. We've got an office out there so I think they'll be looking after him though. Think I'll be out there at some point this year. Will give you a shout if i am.

"Nah, it’s still an utterly fantastic place - I wouldn’t be moving here if it wasn’t. Just don’t watch the telly or buy a beer in a hotel (£10 a pint, minimum) If he wants any advice on where to go then put him in touch with me"

I've just sent one of our young consultants to Singapore for 2 weeks. He's on the plane now. I feel quite guilty now after reading that.

"Bungo - nope, nothing like that here at all. The places unofficial motto is “Singapore is a fine country. It will fine you for everything” So all TV is just utter bilge and the hotels aren’t allowed to get decent stuff in. My sole non-Singaporean channel is “Fox Action Movies” which is currently showing a fucking Twilight film"

"Bungo - Singaporean TV is undoubtedly the worst TV of any developed nation I have been too. In fact, it’s probably worse than a lot of underdeveloped nations. For a country that’s so rich, I cannot understand why it’s so shit. Next year I’m probably moving over here for a year (with the wife) and will basically have to survive on Netflix and Amazon"

"I was going to suggest watching our game as I’m sure it’ll be on out there but then I didn’t realise the time difference so maybe not convenient, plus not the best when we go 3-0 down. Sorry about your Nan, but just think you’ll be back with your loved ones tomorrow. Chin up mate."
