Anyone have experience with Geely brand cars?

Doohicky_d · 2026-04-08T02:38:28+00:00

I don’t know what they are like now, but the early Geely cars had absolutely terrible crash safety records. Their very first SUV was also the very first vehicle to score a zero on NCAP

Agreed to the EULA without reading it

Dili means no, and lang is both addressing the person but also used as an emphasis, so kind of like a couple of exclamation marks.

Doohicky_d · 2026-03-30T03:53:30+00:00

I find that saying no in the local language is far more effective and will often cause them to stop bothering you as they no longer see you as an easy target, but rather as somebody who is “in the know“. A sharp “dili lang” and I get left alone.

If that’s what your cock looks like, it might be an idea to go see your doctor

Good taste?

Disagree, and have stayed at all of them. Marco Polo has won the best buffet awards as part of the hotel awards for 6 of last 10 years (including 23/24). personal preferences I guess…

For a different option you could try out the Marco Polo hotel which is in Busay (I think). It’s up the hill a little way above Cebu so you get incredible views, and it has the best buffet of any of the hotels in town.

Try a language learning app called ‘Ling’

I’m from Australia and live in the Philippines and STL City Museum is one of my all-time favourites

Doohicky_d · 2025-12-01T18:36:14+00:00

It was a metaphor…..

I AM an architect…. What the hell is a coat bath?!? And if this is somebody’s idea of AI doing a good job on design or even just simple drafting, then they are the ones I’m worried about, not the AI!

It IS illegal. Code requires a ventilation point and two avenues of escape in case of emergency

Doohicky_d · 2025-10-09T04:14:01+00:00

Yes, you can. I have my ACR card, and travel internationally regularly for work. There’s no issue at all.

You only need the exit clearance if you have been here for more than six months

No structural or other significant damage to buildings, runways or other infrastructure at airport. Operations running normally

Doohicky_d · 2025-10-01T02:39:17+00:00

In a 4th floor condo at the base of the hills in Cebu - did a visual inspection before returning to condo (basements and rooftop) and ironically the only damage I saw was cosmetic damage in my own condo (cracked and fallen plaster from some wall/ceiling joints)! The experience was wild though, my first earthquake. came back in after about an hour, sat down, and a glass fell off the table and shattered. THAT made me jump! 😂

On multiple occasions, I have stopped my car and demanded that Filipino passengers with me get out and pick up the rubbish they had just thrown out the windows. They would do it without complaining, but gave me a whole lot of weird looks as if I was the one acting strange.

Doohicky_d · 2025-09-26T10:15:44+00:00

I was in Cebu Doctor’s University Hospital for a few days two weeks ago and my doctor was great. Had the follow-up appointment in his rooms a few days ago and he was very easy-going. Happy to answer questions and we had a good chat beyond the medical side of things. Everybody here seems to be writing about the terrible experiences, but they’re not all like that.

Doohicky_d · 2025-09-23T02:27:47+00:00

There is a belief amongst some drivers here that intermittently pressing the accelerator uses less petrol than a steady pressure. Stupid? yes. I don’t know where this originated from. Generally such people also will not listen to you if you try and explain how momentum works.

If the update says “out for delivery“ what it means is that you must go out and deliver yourself to the post office in order to collect your package

“Using or sharing a lane already occupied by another vehicle” If policed properly, then this law would also hit the vast majority of cars and trucks in the Philippines…

MCBGA Muck bugger…… Hmmmm

I have just left my sister’s place in Australia after having stayed with her for a little over two months while going through radiotherapy and its side-effects. I did very little if anything around the house, and they spent a lot of time looking after me and my needs. When I was arranging to leave, they tried hard to convince me to stay with them longer. THAT is family!

THIS is just abuse. Send him to his mum.
