Maybe in cars for queers, but a definite no for a BMW.

Damn that American designer!
It has been 8 years since the start of our photo club, NPC. Last Tuesday evening, the 27th, some of the first batch of members, including MoLoi, RoyRoy, MaTsai, Molotov, ZeroCool, Canon Yeung, Superman, and myself, plus GDM (who joined the club a few years later), gathered together for a dinner in Mongkok. We all have known each other from the Internet for about 9 years and decided to start our photo club with quite a few others on the Internet about a year after that.
The members of the NPC board of committee had changed a few during these years with a few newer members; and even now, together or not we still take photos, we have since went our separate ways with more important things in our lifes. Although we have had many constructive arguments and “blew a lot of water”, most of them were fun times and we cherish our time together.
The club is temporarily suspended for now, and may re-open when the members of the committee have more time. This though, marks the end of an era for us first batch members; and maybe someday, when we become senior citizens and have more free time, we may start a new club to further pursuit our photography dreams together once more.
Cheers to you as well as all other members we have met over the years!
Happy Trails.

Some people would do anything or say anything just so that they could uncontrollably do whatever they wanted disregarding any public wellfare.
Here are a couple of comments from 2 live chicken retailers on the new rules to add acrylic separators to better divide shoppers from the chickens, as another procedure to prevent the spread of the avian flu…
“Covering makes it even dirtier as dust are trapped by the acrylic separators.”
“Adding the acrylic separators are no good and costly, because there are many drive-by garbage trucks that would knock over the acrylic separators and damage them.”

White T’s and Black T’s
The white T is rather bright and the black T is rather dark.
To hell with the Force, just take a pick that suits the mood.
There is actually no real left or right, just clockwise and counter-clockwise.
There is really no fine line of seperation. Just pick a direction and go far… It is rather easy then to beat the opposition at their own game either way; and those involved don’t even realise that it’s the same game with different wordings. Just the “same 3 blankets” all the time. That’s why politics is some damn boring.
Idiotic Assholes.
A couple of nights ago, we went to the Dan Ryan’s Chicago Grills at the Festival Walk. Shortly after we set down, a lady came over to the table behind me which sat a foreign couple from the States. The lady told them that she is the manager of the restaurant and she heard that there was some sort of problem with their food. The guy told her that the dish he ordered medium well came “rare - very rare”. I am not sure if they ate it anyway, but sounded like they ate at least some of it but decided not to complain. The manager said she could have another dish made for them but they said it was OK and did not need them to replace it. The manager told them she will take the charges of the dish off their bill, and immediately she went to do so.
A little while later the manager came back with some sort of Dan Ryan’s souvenir which she said it was no longer available but it’s from her private collection. She presented the souvenir to the couple as a gift, gave them her business card, then asked them for their names, and promise them a couple of drinks on her the next time they come. They chatted for awhile to find out which state they are from how often they come to Hong Kong, etc.
The couple was really pleased and promised they would come back again. They then ask her for her boss’ name and said they would write to her boss and tell them how please they are.
This sort of service is seldom seen anywhere in Hong Kong, and other than a remake of the dish, I doubt I would ever get a free drink and a souvenir from them if I ever had to complain about my dish, which luckily, I’ve never had to. It is, however, very nice to see a local Chinese manager take such good care of her foreign customers though.
Good job!
On another note though - Dan Ryan’s used to have three sizes of burgers. The Regular for HKD$88, the Kid’s for HKD$55 from the children menu, which was just a tiny bit smaller than the Regular (a great deal), and the Mini, which is about half the size of the Kid’s burger and only sold at the bar for HKD$25, which was also great for having drinks with. Last month, I found out that they have replaced the Kid’s burger with the Mini burger for the same price as the Kid’s burger. I’ll never order the Kid’s burger again.

all have in common?
They were all NPC member once, and they all have a boy or about to have a boy after they’ve joined NPC! That’s 9/9 all boys.
Congratulations!
I hope I didn’t miss any other.
Or who says so. Or even why they say so.
Husbands simply do not have any right to punish the wives! PERIOD!
Any man who beats up women do not deserve to be a human being, let alone being a man! Behead those who do!
No, not the one on top! The tiny pathetic one!
