  1. From the link in the OP: "Singapore’s laws mandate the death penalty for anyone convicted of trafficking more than 500 grams (17.6 ounces) of cannabis and 15 grams (0.5 ounces) of heroin". Now why anyone would smuggle these into Singapore knowing the risks is beyond my comprehension, but, as has been pointed out above, it's obviously worth their while to do so - if they don't get caught. If it's such a deterrent then why have three people been executed in two weeks? Rather than go to the root cause - finding the buyers and end users , putting them in rehab, and then under probation when they're out, with regular reporting and drug tests, they try and cut out the symptom. It doesn't work. As long as there's someone willing to pay the price for these drugs, there will be someone making the choice, and taking their chances, to import them.
  2. I've heard him say some of them on YouTube, but, according to this website, he said them all. Along with a few more, including: My wife complained that her feet hurt. I said: “You’ve got your shoes on the wrong feet.” She said: “But these are the only feet I’ve got.” 30 Tommy Cooper jokes that will remind you of his comedy genius - Wales Online
  3. I don't know, but his fez rings a bell. Just like that.
  4. Seems this would work at any beauty show these days.
  5. And the military will point to this squabbling between elected parties as a reason to remain in power for the good of the country. They've done it before. Many times.
  6. A well heeled response, laced with sarcasm.
  7. You really know how to put the boot in.
  8. With the constant price dropping, a TV is now a disposable item for me. I buy a new one about every 3 years. If the old one's still working well, which it usually is, then it gets given to a relative. I even saw a 75" demonstration model for 9,999 baht at our local PowerBuy. Or a "virgin" one from their website...
