  1. Unfortunately no . It's all FOPs fault. FOP? Ask the man (PUP) himself and he'll explain why, and also ask him what he was doing in a public park last night at midnight with two (very) strange men! I could tell, but that would mean admitting that I was also in the park at midnight with FoP and 2 strange men!
  2. Well done Grandad! That's 900 Finds to go with your 900 DNF's ... Cheers Dave
  3. Told yeh, yer doubting Thomas! Have I ever given you duff gen....er well, shall I rephrase that, Have I ever unknowingly given you duff gen? Heh heh!
  4. Bet he's DNF'd 10 times as many as ya too, in such a short time! Cheers Dave
  5. Well done Gramps on finding your 700th cache (all by yourself). Keep it going and you might hit 1000 finds before your 1000th DNF. Cheers Dave
  6. Easy to answer this one PUP.... You was in The Griffin, (venue for Enigma RVP event last July), with us lot last Wednesday.... Have a dabble, log the event and see what happens...
  7. TFTC..(Thanks For The Congrats) "Rakers of the Lost Ark" has been on my watchlist since I started caching nearly 2 years ago, I have always intended to do it for my millennium milestone but was a bit worried by the number of DNF's. Having now found it I can assure you that it has zero chance of ever being found unintentionally! Thanks Steve for your kind offer of a pint of the Extra Cold Genius! Not sure why I need it in writing, or indeed whether Andy was quoting your post or offering me a second pint from his own pocket..I'll gladly accept both of them.....nothing new there then! No JS, I'd never call you a "Stooge" (see my post on Rakers if you are confused)...But as they say " If the cap fits..." Finally tipping my hat to Lollybob, I wore something pink and frilly for the climb (chaffed a bit)...thank god I didn't have an accident and need medical attention! Cheers Dave
  8. Thanks for all the fun and games... ...even the dog toys and fancy dress.... Not quite forgiven you yet for the Pink thing yet, but I will. Once I get even. Great stuff, keep em coming! Cheers Dave
  9. Like Carlos, I have been away for a while and not really read the forums. Nice to be back and always glad to congratulate people on milestones even insignificant ones. So congrats to Ginger'b'men, Carlos and the Birdies, PUP, Lollybob and as they say on the wireless anyone else that I've Inadvertently forgotten. Cheers
  10. Well done John and Isaac. That's a mighty number in double quick time. Cheers Dave
  11. I've never knowingly had a dig at the old git! .... anyway he started it.....didn't ya Grandad. Cheers Dave
  12. Lester, I believe it is customary to say.. OSS. [] Cheers Dave
  13. Brill - thanks for moving it on, loved the pics! Re the race... I'll win, don't worry Very likely as Flippin' Nuisance is stuck in or should I say "near to"one of PUP's very own caches which he has kindly made unavailable.
  14. It tends to stop me if I'm sat at home but if I'm working away I'll venture out despite cold driviing rain...As I proved twice over last weekend in a very dismal Frankfurt. The caches I found there cheered me up no end.
  15. A more telling stat would be how many dog toys are hidden within a 10 mile radius
  16. . Hi Dave, Thought we should give others a chance to reply first, but guess they're all too busy with Chinese New Year! So here's our 2 cents' worth.... President's Palace is a good one to start with and you will even get to see the Istana (which is just across the street). Just look out for the Poggles ("men-in-blue") when you get the clues. There are THREE caches on Sentosa - aren't you going to try them ALL ?? Around the Orchard Road area are : Emily Rose - it's nearby and in a nice quiet park. There's a Hangout Hotel nearby with the best little restaurant called Wild Rocket (check out their website) with great Chocolate Fondant... Sculpture Square (by metrohomme) - easy one except for muggles. No Looking Back - easy one done inside aircon comfort and your bored kid can go read books while u look for the clues. The Two Old Trees (by thsalbert) - near Little India, another touristy spot. Santa Klutz - on the other side of Orchard Road but still in town - a cache frequented by overseas cachers, it's becoming a little TB hotel. If you have time : The Story of a Migrant (by metrohomme) - is a great one for sightseeing around the Chinatown area. Up and Out (by Spa Susi and Javamama) - It's a 2-part cache but if you want to see some creative caches, this is it! It's a pity you don't want to try the multi's because we highly recommend "Shaken, not Stirred". Very creative hiding again (by Spa Susi and Javamama) and a really pleasant area to visit. The first clue might stump you already although it is very near Orchard Road!! One of the waypoints of this multi is actually a quaint little restaurant where your wife can sit and have a drink while you continue with your quest!! PLUS, our very own "P.S. I Love You" is in the same area! OK.. Now for Bukit Timah. It's great that you are trying some of our 'jungle' caches. Too few overseas cachers have time for them and they are really fun! Do bring LOTS of mozzie repellent though. And strong shoes in case it gets muddy if it rains. If you are doing Bukit Timah 1, you must do - Cache in, Cash out - Bukit Timah 2 And also, you may attempt "I thought I saw a crocodile" is a super fun & creative cache again. "ESCAPE From The Jungle" is also easy to get to and very creative cache. "End of the Woods" is not far from there. You probably noticed by now that whenever I say "creative cache", they refer to Spa Susi/Javamama caches. If you want an easy grab and go cache, "Safety Inside" is the one. Should I recommend another restaurant again?? haha.. What's geocaching without food, right? It's just a short drive, very near Safety Inside. Here are the approx coords to Galbiati Italian Deli - N01° 21.463 E103° 46.061 AND FINALLY.... you really should download the routable malsingmaps (http://www.malsingmaps.com) mentioned in some of the previous posts. It will really help in navigation because all the nature trails are marked in detail. Hmmmm... I see you have an ENIGMA cache!!! Sooo... rubberdad's "Puzzle In, Game Out! " shouldn't be too hard for you!! I'm sure you can handle the cryptic crossword in a breeze. It's a very fun but challenging multi but you can work on the codes at home before coming here. Have Fun ! IndianaJanes (Viv & Mag) OK thanks for all the info. I will be really quite restricted for caching time but I do hope to do at least the 3 Sentosa caches and Presidents Palace... Anything beyond that will be a bonus. I am interested in doing The Tree Tops Walk which I believe is about 9km 5.5M. How strenuous is this? Are zny of the caches that you recomended actually on the trail? I hav registered on Malsingmaps website but so far have not received a password so I can't download the map Is this normal...72 hrs+ or should I register again? Cheers Dave
  17. Andy, I told you not to press any buttons whilst I was away...now look what you've done..
  18. Remember. Lamb is nice served pink but "Revenge is a dish best served cold"...

  20. Funnily enough on saturday I will be in Frankfurt and one of your caches "Pigeldy"is on my todo list if I get chance.... Everyone seems to rate "Suspension"...I haven't had the pleasure yet. As Stora says Chester at weekend is always busy... Head out of town...take Hazel up on her offer she'll sort you out.
  21. Hi Singapore Cachers, I will be on a 3 day stopover on my way to Australia in late May. Looking for a few pointers. I am traveling with the whole of my family.. Me, my wife, my 9yr old son and 13yr old daughter. I have visited Singapore twice before on business so I know the general layout of the CBD and have visited the Night Safari and Sentosa on both previous trips. I am looking fro suggestions of suitable high quality caches to do whilst bearing in mind that although my son is a cacher niether of the girls care for it at all...in fact the wife hates it with a passion. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Parkview. So I have earmarked Presidents palace for a starter. The virtual on Sentosa I can get away with without even declaring it to the Mrs. I have a car booked for one whole day and intend to travel up to Bukit Timah 1. Any more I shouldn't miss...please avoid complex multi's and puzzles as I can't have people standing about for ages whilst I keep keying in coords etc. Many thanks Dave
  22. I might have to call on International Rescue...FAB.
