I think I now understand why extra salt was offered at Burger King down here back some years ago when they first started. I always used to wonder who would need extra salt for already salted fries. I guess the chains here were following what is back home.

It takes almost a day of flying to get from Singapore to Washington. It should be alright if one is flying by business class, Elite class or First Class, but they are always trying to save and all we got is Economy.

Angloesque, I too am an introvert and sometimes I just don't feel like smiling, and I would probably feel like breaking some teeth if someone comes up to me and expects me to smile just as widely as they do.

1/ What do you consider to be a "drug" ?. Stuff you take, not for nutritional purpose, but to alter your body's biochemical levels to enhance, heal or to simply get a desired effect of any sort. 2/ Would it change your opinion of say, a workmate, if you found out they used recreational drugs at weekends ?.
