    Halleluyaaaaaa........

    back in Hounslow, Lampton Park!!!!!!!!!!!

    All I have to do, is find my summer work schedule that my wife kindly moved to somewhere unimaginable, and if all is well enough, book a room at a nearby hotel and we are set. Hopefully the weather will hold.

    Cannot think of why the Fiesta has returned to Hounslow. Only that where it was moved to, was kind of difficult to get to and in the middle of a field nowhere.. With dodgy transport links.
    In fact that is why we ceased attending.
    This time is different, just off the M4, in the park in the middle of town. Cool.

    We could meet up for one day and swap horror stories............ like we did years ago...

    That middle of nowhere field is my archery club, apps court, from home if the ferry is running on time takes 20 minutes, good thing about the venue is paying to enter means no gangs of reprobate youths and kids enter, only those with some sort of philippine connection, sadly Hounslow isn't like that. I remember when some filipinas tried to get some people to pay an entrance fee into the public park years ago :lol:

    From witrhin that link, thought this was useful:

    "The Flag of the Republic of the Philippines, representing the country is symbolized by the following:

    Royal blue field – peace, truth, and justice.
    Scarlet red field – patriotism and valor.
    White triangle – equality and brotherhood.
    Three stars on the corners of the triangle are the three main geographical regions of the country, namely Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
    The sun at the center of the triangle – has eight rays representing the eight Philippine provinces that started the revolt against Spain...."

    The 8 philippine provinces that started the revolt against Spain :D On Reddit last year there was a discussion on how good the Philippines would be nowadays if they had been a British colony instead of ruled by Spain ;)

    Probably still be the same, they were all saying it would be like HK pre-97,my son said what they are forgetting is its not who ruled you, it's who you are, the population, the people, so probably the same.

    One thing that would be different. The women would have the freedom to divorce a husband who was sleeping around or not caring for his family.

    Although, saying that, divorce wasn't allowed in Malta until recently.
