No. That's durian.

We get some fantastic curries here in Hong Kong. You know what else is good? Kimchi. Korean tacos are the best.

that perspective is very much alive and well here in HK. Remember, this place was founded by the gin soaked British!

Not really. I'm writing from Hong Kong, where it is currently 4:23 PM!

Yes. This column is really just an excuse for people to talk about their favourite actors. It might as well have been entitled "Who is your favourite actor?".

I'm going to be very drunk in about ten hours.

That sucks. Hang in there.

Remember to enjoy yourself. Presumably, all (or most) of the people that you care about most in the world will be there, to honour you. We don't get many occasions like this in life. So don't kept caught up in the stress and remember to try and have a really good time.

Does it have anything to do with alt-country? Alt-nation? Uh, Ctrl-alt-delete?

yeah i did. inspired by an old couple who disappeared then were found with their car crashed at the bottom of a cliff…..

Actually the lights only came on at night.

Thanks God my father in law never pulled any of that. when we told them we were getting married, he ran off an grabbed a bottle of champagne!

Chutzpah!

Yeah i used to make those back in the eighties and remember those caulking guns. The buns were steamed I believe and once the dish was prepared it lived in a sad little steamy drawer.
