last time i was in the sugar lounge (2 months ago) there were bare unpainted walls and water coming out of the roof of the toilet, if that's the care they pay to the venue then it doesn't really inspire confidence in the food.

Received my new residents permit today. The new permit is so low quality, I wouldn't worry about visitors permits any more, simply scan your residents permit, add a tiny bit of photoshop work to change the reg and print. Hey presto, free pa…
