  Webthreads
  A weekly roundup of the most interesting discussions by Singaporeans.
  
  Time to go
  
  HOST Frustrated wonders if her foreign house guest has outstayed her welcome.
  
  She says: "She's now in her fifth week at our place. She eats our food (bread, milk, eggs, fruits and whatever she can find in the kitchen), she gets our maid to do her laundry. Our maid has to clean up after her - does her dishes, cleans up the kitchen after she cooks."
  
  "Is this acceptable Western behaviour?" she asks.
  
  fishy throws in some philosophy: "An old uncle of mine has a saying - house guests are like fish, after three days, they begin to smell! Throw them out!"
  
  mug says: "I'm sure you know that to be like that as a guest in someone's house isn't a typical behaviour for many cultures. Just tell her to go."

  Worth watching
  
  FOOTBALL fans are trying to decide if paying to watch the World Cup matches is worth the money.
  
  footsie says she did not subscribe to cable channels showing the matches.
  
  "What do I get if anyone wins or loses at the end of the day? A waste of time and less sleep I guess."
  
  agree with yorkshire boy, disagrees: "Stop whining! 15 bucks - the best money I ever paid to see England all the way to the quarters on penalties."
  
  footsie is content with watching a select few matches: "The opening match, semi-finals and finals will be shown on the free-to-air Channel 5."

  actually i don't see the big deal in all this. don't treat this as a competition to get featured or anything. if any one of us here get featured, then that's good. but don't stress so much on it, i don't see the need to open a thread on it every week unless we get featured.

  The publicity can help attract new members to the forums. It won't do for the forums to stagnate as the same few people (and their clones) are the ones doing most of the posts.
