I suggest that those of you who are looking forward to a night out in Accy's new flagship pub,winebar and pistro, aka "The Calder", should sieze the opportunity while you can. I fear it will not be long before such establishments will be taken over by wave upon wave of Thai lady-boys, Brazilian transvestites and others of a similar ilk, all here quite legitimatly. I certainly won't be pushing my way to the bar through that lot.

I think it's two years you have to prove you've had a relationship with the person not two weeks, just as it is for dirty old buggers who go to Thailand to bring back girls young enough to be their grandaughters to be their brides.
