I got in a cabbage from the garden to make soup, discovered a slug making a run for freedom while it started boiling. I clumsily tried to help it out the pot and ended up knocking it into the water. Feeling a bit guilty :unsure:

In the Philippines they start celebrating the Christmas season if you will in September. Proper naughty

This is true.  Have you been to the Philippines or been out with a Filipina?  I was seeing a girl from Cebu for about 4 years.  Nice, smart and had a good NHS job in London but actually a bit bonkers as are most Filipinos I've met..

I encountered one working as a waitress in a hotel in Shetland. At breakfast I ordered my usual sausage, bacon and egg and was surprised and a wee bit dismayed when she brought me a bowl of porridge.

Excuse me, said I, I ordered sausage bacon & egg. Just shut up and eat it was the reply.

Like a bloody moron I did just that.

Bet your flat was tidy, they're mad for cleaning, do it all over the World and send the money home so their menfolk can sit on the porch sipping beer. So I'm told.

Just be thankful she didn't cook it herself.  You'd have got grilled hotdogs, a mound of white rice and an egg fried to within an inch of its life.

Thinking about it now the following morning in that hotel, the same girl, brought me a jumbo sausage and two whole grilled tomatoes arranged on the plate in a formation that could only be described as pornographic. She dumped the plate down then ran off laughing hysterically.

I can't even remember now what it was I had ordered, but that wasn't it.

The men are great grafters also, they’ve been a big asset to the Scottish fishing industry

That is a bit of a common pattern...and I think that Red Horse is the beverage of choice for the Pinoys with an OFW partner.  The lassie I was seeing was a bit more upmarket - of course ;)

I heard that, also that the new Tory skill based immigration policy would f**k it up for everyone.

True, they’re making it harder for them to get visas. I love working with them, lovely people and would do anything to help you out

I can vouch for that!  Actually, there are two typical situations here - First, as described above the wife is working abroad and sending money home and the husband is taking care of the kids and drinking Red Horse beer.  The second is where the husband is working as a seamen and most of his salary is paid to his wife who then spends it all on online shopping and then pays off some of the mortgage arrears just before the husband arrives home!  

My family is considered dysfunctional because both my wife and I are living together here!
