  1. He replies, "Certainly! Would Sir prefer detritus sauce or fish poop with that?"
  2. Tuan, I would love to eyeball your awesome tank. danano, I've never seen you in London.
  3. but he thought it looked like a tank of death....
  4. Actually, any serious off roader will know that the ultimate 4WD for the real stuff is the Toyota Landcruiser. Costs the same as an S-class but goes anywhere! National Geographic uses it, United Nation uses it, even the US Army uses it! It's the most popular car in Afghanistan. In the Sahara, it's the most common 4WD (always in white colour). It's near indestructible and there are vehicles which are older than me still running in the desert. Discovery is capable but has been soften to cater to the school run market. The only hardcore Landrover is the Defender! My 4.2L turbo diesel Landcruiser in Morocco.
  5. Falcon 4.0 till 7.0 by Microprose I think. They all come in silver boxes.
  6. I love the 744! It's my staple between London and Singapore. It has the nicest and softest landing of all airliners. Probably due to the large wings and ground effect. The 777 engines sound really nice though. AT, 5.25" or 3.5", DD or HD?
  7. Computer games. MS Flight Simulator and Wing Commander.
  8. The A340 does have a horrible ride! Especially upfront away from the wing! I do consider myself a seasoned flyer but flying in the A340 made me nauseous. I don't recall Tokyo having a nasty approach. I remember going over the sea then out of the mist a great big urban jungle appeared! Endless grey on grey with red blinking lights as far as the eye can see.
  9. The Volvo XC90 does have the third row seats as an option. I think it is standard in the T6 version. Just have a look at SM Motors showroom. The Toyota Landcruiser or Lexus Cygnus and Landrover Discovery also have fold away third row seats. I don't think the Prado has it thought. Don't forget Range Rover and Jeep Grand Cherokee. There's also the unique Toyota Kruger or Lexus GX330 which looks like a station wagon on steroids and can be used in the Australian outback unlike the soft Harrier or GX300. Something special will be a black Mercedes Benz G-wagen! American MPV will be the Chrysler Voyager.
  10. Or Ferrari, Porsche or Lambourgini.
  11. Ja! We call Pulau Pawai; 'Teletubby land'. There are anemone and clownfish there too.
  12. Modern airliners are lightning proof. The electrical charge will be bled off the plane through the wing tips or the end of the fuselage.
  13. Post your avatar here and let's have a look.
  14. Damn it's funny! Man, Koreans are ugly! No wonder they all go for plastic surgery.
  15. That program is called Ad-aware 6.0. Spyware and adwares are the same thing. Programs installed as a package with other useful programs, voluntarily or involuntarily by the user, which 'mines' data from your computer. Simple breaches will be just knowing what websites you are visiting but more severe breaches will be passwords and credit card numbers.
  16. No free lunch in this world.
  17. Very dirty software. Lots of adwares that collect data. Yuck... Don't advise using it.
  18. Very difficult to get to the marine LFS. Not worth the effort. Involves taking the train then walking or bus/taxi. Even if you speak fluent Japanese, it will still be quite a trip. Don't expect Japanese to speak or even understand English. Forget LFS and enjoy yourself in Shibuya or Odaiba or somewhere. Go to Tokyu Hands, it has lots of cool stuff. There is a store in Shibuya but the biggest store is in Shinjuku, Takashimaya Time Square building. The coolest thing to get will be a whole set of solar powered head nodding thingies. If you are looking for man stuff (i.e. electronics, DVD and ######), go to Akihabara. Straight out of the JR station there are two alleys packed with the above mentioned. LAOX has a duty free store that provides English instruction manuals with the electronics. Pick up some cool stuff like Sony Cocoon or Toshiba Gigabeat. If you are bored or the weather is bad, go to the Sony Media Centres in Shinjuku or Odaiba and waste time there gawking over the latest technology that will never appear in Singapore. Touch and play to your hearts content because all the items there are not for sale. It's typhoon season too with horrible summer muggy weather.
  19. How can any driver be expected to remember the long list of speed trap hot spots? The speeding driver will lose concentration on driving because he/she will have to be concern with looking out for speed cameras and TP. Therefore, speed cameras and TP are road hazard contributing to accidents. Also, TP annoy me to no end! They absolutely serve no function at all. There are still lorries and vans in the middle lane. There are still road hoggers. There are still noisy modded cars running around. There is no one at the traffic lights when the lights are down or power failure. There are still dangerous street racing. There are still drunk and violent drivers at night. They only serve to irritate drivers who cross the speed limit during normal driving. I think they should be gotten rid of.
  20. The sea cucumber was acting weird. It was alive but floating on the water surface. I think the fishermen thought I threw a piece of shit into the water.
