Sorry sir, but I allowed his comment through moderation because I need the context for the reason for banning him again. He had stopped quoting people to disguise who he was replying to and to in part to avoid drawing admin attention to his posts.
I think the fact he revisited the sex tourist comments was because the comment although true in his case rather riled him.
Yeah probably. You look at the membership here and you have everything from people who live and have made their lives in the Philippines, guys like Graham that will be making a life over there in future, to people that have gone to extreme lengths to manage to bring a partner and their grown up kids to the UK very often on a seriously limited budget. There are so many different unique reasons that people here got involved with the Phils and that Filipino people in the Phils became involved with the UK, that a comment like that was not going to slip by. I've read his posts on other forums and I don't like him in those places either.
True! I don’t understand why he keeps wanting to be here, there are other forums that cater for his needs, not this one.
He'll probably be getting on a flight soon and the next thing we know the paragraph challenged man will be signing up again from the Phils. Let's ban anyone that fails to start a sentence (or as he would say a paragraph ) with a capital letter That'll drive him nuts if he has to learn what the shift key is for
Things were heating up from that "banned again" user... who's utterly cynical Meanwhile, on a positive note... @graham59 I'm glad to know that you’re a frequent flyer of yet another fancy gulf airline I'm not so keen about Etihad as I’ve always flown with Emirates, albeit Etihad can also offer a relaxing trip... my experience at their A380 (388) upper deck seating was ostentatiously splendid
ha ha--junk food was invented for me. seriously though--macdees are now only an ocasional treat. as for KFC--never again thanks. i prefer my chicken filleted--not a bag of bones wrapped in batter. most of my family--on my fathers side--died young with various heart issues. i suffered from very high cholestrol--and a blood specialist put me on a series of statins to try to fix the issue; no amount of careful eating would have made a difference. i had hyperlipodaemia--i made too much cholestrol naturally. the wonder drug crestor did the trick--got me down below 4 --and stable. my wife adds sugar to her portion of spag bog when i make it. i dont add sugar--or salt--in cooking. i have sugar in tea and coffee...but then i only have 2 cups a day most days. most of my sugar intake is through synthesised alcohol--and hence to fat. i am overweight--but it is stable. i let other people do all my worrying.
understandable management decision--and overdue.. but i have to say i did enjoy reading his tales of his life in the philippines. pity it so often ended in a slanging match.
I doubt he'll return to the Philippines much before mid-October which is his normal pattern as he'll want to make as much money flogging ice-cream over the summer months. But I don't think he'll wait that long before signing-up with a new identity - his past history evidences that. As for him supposedly getting blind drunk on overnight ferries, well that is a rather dumb thing to do to put it politely. You might get away with that behaviour on ferry in the first world but as we all know, Philippine shipping has rather high accident rate with many of these happening during the hours of darkness. If you're drunk and asleep, you'll probably sleep through any alarm signals and consequently end up in Davy Jones' Locker but if you're drunk and awake, you're a danger to yourself and to those around you as you stagger around, shouting, arms flailing and unsteady on your pins. I speak as a former ship's captain.
no amount of food management worked for me--crestor ( rosuvastatin ) did. so now i dont worry--i eat what i like--but not lots of any.
The bony bits are said to be the parts with flavour, but in the Phils that's the part they love, personally I prefer the leaner meat but I won't turn down anything I am served in the Philippines. KFC is another matter never really been into anything like that although the kids like that style of chicken.
I normally alternate between Emirates and Etihad, but sadly I'm a mere peasant... and have little interest in the 'finer things in life' anyway.
@bigmac I'd like to quote you on this "i let other people do all my worrying." It might sound selfish for some, but I couldn't agree more... we shouldn't worry a lot, and simply live our life the best way we can YOLO (as per those millennials who used to utter that 4-letter word in every social media platform) I personally go to the gym... however, I still enjoy devouring those edible stuff fast food/drive thru can wonderfully offer Not to mention my frequent visit to the closest confectionary shop
I suffer from misophonia to some extent, even the mental picture of sucking bones makes me cringe Most of the time it is not a problem for me say 90% of the time I'm fine, but I could die with that mental picture and the potential sounds in a quiet room
