Here we are not allowed to do any DIY work on a Sunday that is noisy. Painting and pottering about in the garden is fine but no hammering or power tools etc. The security guards will come around and knock it on the head. Strangely, they don't say a word when folk start up their noisy generators at all hours but hey ho.

To be fair, it has already been said that the comment didn't come from Lizzie.

Can we set up a Forfarshire Cup match against you in the next couple of days?

Well played on that - 2 birds with one stone and all that!

Yep...as the poster above says, it's not rocket science. Should be banned from the thread IMO. Or maybe hanged.

Fsakes.

Apparently it's from a US show "Frisky Dingo".

Oh goodie.

Didn't it identify the rogue Brazilian variant case in London just a day or so ago? I'm not saying that is worth 37b but still.

Who do you think does those types of work in Japan or Korea? Sure, some are done by immigrants but isn't that also the case here?

A fair few of those pedicab/ trycicad guys are a fair age as well. We got one to pick up a balikbyan box from the security gate - the biggest size too. He manhandled it off the bike and into the living room himself and was even up for taking it upstairs but I told him nah, the wife will sort it later! I'm lucky that my nearest sari sari is no more than 20 steps from our house so the wife can easily carry the San Mig crate once a week back and forward! I buy the SM light so it's easier for her anyway

Where I worked we had 24/7 operation. We had 2 weekend shifts - the day guys worked 2x12 hours shifts (Sat/Sun) and the night guys 1x11 and 2x12 (Frid/Sat/Sun) then the rest of the week off - same pay as the 39 hour week guys. Needless to say, they were popular shifts.

No luck with the ad then?

To be fair, it could be like the London marathon in my place before 7am as I'm not up until 8:30am! You're probably right though, the heat and humidity here makes any physical activity daunting.

In Hong Kong they are into walking and exercise in general, but it's not the case here in the Philippines. They are quite lazy, basically, although a fair amount of the younger guys do weight training. The gym culture hasn't taken off here and they don't do jogging or cycling. They still have that outdated idea that being a little heavy is a sign of wealth - quite the opposite of western thinking. My son is skinny and it's looked upon as a negative here yet his chubby classmates are considered cute being a tad overweight.

For the 2nd time today guys, FFS...it's not that hard!
