Only mildly spicy, and I can answer for @HongKongLady , who is hopefully still sleeping, that she dislikes spicy foods.

No. As said elsewhere i’m allergic to chilies and peppers. They would be great if i wanted to lose a heck of a lot of weight quickly tho. 🙂

So these types of food would legitimately kill you? 😕

They very badly upset my stomach so whilst its not instantaneous death and i dont expand like Violet Beauregarde there are some very unpleasant consequences – i’m trying to not be too direct in my wording.

If you had to go to one location and stay there for the rest of your life (however many years that would be) and you could never leave otherwise you would explode where would you go and why? It can be a town/city but not a complete country, state, region, zone etc – no long distance traveling allowed, say a maximum of 20 minutes travelling by car without stops at the recognised legal road speed of wherever it is you decide to stay.

Mine would have to be the local HMV shop in the city center, I would do the best I could to make it my home 🙂

Hong Kong for me.

We all know one reason.

But I also really like the place and there is enough to see, do and eat to keep someone (me in this case) occupied for a very long time. I also like the ambience of the place, and it has a low crime rate and a nice warm climate – along with an interesting mix of Asian culture and a mild European heritage.

Mine usually looks that way too. Right now it’s four because I haven’t been on for a couple hours.

I have never had an unread post–is this something that happens if you subscribe to a thread? I’ve never done that. Should I? And if so, what are the top 5 best threads to subscribe to?

It’s the number next to the star that shows rank info. When I sub topics they are all old non used topics so that if I leave the forum, there is a slim chance that the topic will be posted in and I’ll get an email to drag me back.

Are we talking about the number of unread posts that you get notices about like this in the top right hand corner of the picture (I have 3 at the moment)…

@Expert Textpert wondered aloud

No, nothing to do with subscriptions, it’s this rather insignificant-looking bit near the top of the page (in the lower-left corner of the screen-capture).

‘1 topics with unread posts’ 

I don’t personally subscribe to threads because they send emails when they’ve been posted in, and I don’t want them cluttering up my inbox. I do watches instead. 

Whether or not you wish to subscribe– t’is up to you.
