Re: Hi! Boston/Cambridge

Plenty of great Thai restaurants in the area. Take your pick, most are very good.

As far as buying ingredients you should find a good ethnic market. There are lots around the Central Square area...

Re: Hi! Boston/Cambridge

Finding a good curry place can be tough in the states. I would say the UK is the home of the best curries outside of India. However I would recommend Kashish in Belmont, Bombay Club in Harvard square...

Re: Any Golfers in the Boston area?

Re: Any Golfers in the Boston area?

I drive past Wayland Country Club most days on the way to work, haven't played there. I always thought it looked like it was an extension of the marshland around it. I've heard of Sandy Burr. I think...

Re: Any Golfers in the Boston area?

I'm pretty flexible, i work out in Hudson, MA and have played a few courses out that way. Stow Acres, Butternut, Cyprian Keyes etc. Not much close to Boston that you can actually play anyway.

Re: Ford Fiesta coming to America

My first car was a Mk2 Fiesta XR2, the first and last brand new car I had for a while. Unfortunately there's a world of difference between the Euro Fords and the North America ones. They ship over...

Re: Stopped for shoplifting (stealing, not trying to lift the shop up ;))

Good god, you should have definately sued that store if they were still in business. Being imprisoned as a result of the negligence of another entity is a serious situation. What would have happened...

Re: Thinking of moving to the States

I'm not sure that the L1 applies. Don't you have to be moving to a sister business established in the US for an L1 and you have to have been employed by the same company in the UK for at least a...

Re: Hi! Boston/Cambridge

I've lived in Watertown for a few years and previously lived in downtown Boston. Watertown is a great compromise between living in the city and the outlying burbs. It has a good bus service into...

Re: Dreading my first Paddys Day

Re: Hi and questions

Re: Simple tax question ( I hope)
