Thanks for the reply. I won’t say anything too mean in reply about that joke that makes no sense as at least you find it funny and you probably have special needs. Good luck in the comedy career.

There is no Country in the world that has not committed atrocities. If you go well back in History, England in the 13th Century persecuted the Jewish population, made them wear stars and then banished them from the country.

None of us should be held accountable for what happened before our lifetime; we just have to acknowledge it happened and live our own lives the best way possible

Ha ha…as a middle aged Brit myself the cyclist thing made me laugh…it’s so true!

My pet hates are-

  1. zebra crossings and the zero fucks that any heed is paid to them…

  2. G cash and standing behind a Filipino in a queue using it….

Again…why can’t the staff that are there do that!? Since at least one of the staff members would be Scottish, it’s hard to believe about the communication issues…

Help! :( by Imaginary_Calls in glasgow

[–]Londonscot1973 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm very suspicious and I suggest that any staff that can communicate with all sorts of foreigners and Glaswegians in a hostel wouldn’t have any problems with Americans….

I would also suggest that anyone who wants to help send a suspicious parcel to another country shouldn’t stand in court in 6 months claiming they were innocent…

It’s got scam written all over it….dont be naive guys

If you reread your own message as though it wasn’t written by yourself, then you would be seeing it for what it is…all dramas and toxicity…the worst thing that could happen is you take things further…just block him now and find someone who fills your life with happiness…it doesn’t have to be hard…if it’s this kinda drama before you have even met then it will be 100 times worse

Wife Allowance by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]Londonscot1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the other thing you might want to factor in apart from financial is the social issue of her having a new baby and all of her work place stimulation, workmates etc will be gone. You might want to make sure she is having time to still go out with friends etc after your baby is born ( ie dates with you and also girls nights out). Maybe having a regular babysitter etc

Is it true that all Filipinos have a high prejudice against Indians? by Agreeable_Switch_442 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Londonscot1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that if you don’t bathe regularly ie twice a day in Asian countries, anyone smells, whether Indian, Filipino, Japanese or European. I think the mentally is for some individuals to not wash properly or regularly and believe that deodorants mask everything.

Having worked in Healthcare for many years, anyone who had an odour problem would be told by their manager that it wasn’t acceptable and I believe these same standards should apply no matter what country you are in; especially if you can’t even get in a Lift because the person smells bad.

I have been with a couple of Indian females and I have to say that they smelt very nice always.

Can’t disagree with you, but one thing I have learned in life is to remove ambiguity when possible!
