One of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the UK crams all foreigners upstairs to share tables with random strangers, where cutlery is thrown at you carelessly and the waiter tuts if you don't give them a string of numbers as an order. If you go there with a chinese national you're somewhat protected from the abuse, but they still glare at you.

Anyway the food is divine and they don't overcharge, and it's one of my favourite places to eat.

Bears actually respond really well to verbal threats and lyrical wizards like Dr Dre have successfully beaten off a bear by dropping a few dope rhymes in succession.

They get full of bugs quick if they're outside too long

There's a nice scene in Gangs of New York, where rival Fire teams would fight it out whilst robbing the houses they were "saving"

I usually try to associate the name to someone famous I know by the same or similar name. It tends make that person more memorable in my head after a quick "Hello Dolph, nice to meet you."

Glad to hear you're in a better place. It does indeed take a while to know what is normal and what isn't

I'm guessing he did everyone a favour there, heh
