In answer to your first question no.

In answer to your second question no I'm not a communist!

Anyone want to buy my Gadaffi watch BTW? I might sell it.

It's a genuine Chinese time-piece emblazoned with an iconic portrait of the man himself.
Might be worth more when he is no more....

You're close to the coast, you'll be able to get away quickly before they come for you.

i don't think people have critised TDW for being a racist -- just observed it, as you point out there is a difference

If the situation ever arose at petrol stations I would certainly want some similar form of written acknowledgement that goods received had been paid for. A small discount would not be worth the hassle of a dispute over payment, when more than likely you would have to pay again.
Hope this answers your question

You laugh like my suggestion is somehow unthinkable?

Sorry Tone, but I don't believe a word you say, your record on here speaks for itself. I knew a guy who used to take other peoples' exciting stories and retell them, with himself in the starring role.

Great way to try to make friends, he thought.

I am happy to be proved wrong of course BUT appreciate that you are under no obligation to do so and am not asking you to.

Just giving you my opinion.

I will take a wild guess and suggest that he's working abroad because he has a particular occupational skill that is in demand and not to sponge off another country and the citizens that live there, even when no contribution to that society has been made.

Btw, "peely wally". Not sure how it's arrived at, but my mum says it (you probably wouldn't understand her and I don't mean she speaks Punjabi!). Means "very pale/white", in reference to skin tone. Not usually required for forecourt attendants.


You've found me out...you might be my neighbours but I don't have to like you guys

And yes, that's about right, I am very pale (well not quite as bad as when I was younger). Apart from when I have been in the sun, then I am very lobster like.

I fully agree that we should not be supporting workshy spongers. I would even go as far as to say that we should shut our borders completely, even with the best will in the world we can't be Florence Nightingale to the world's underprivileged. This can only be effected by the Government not by me and you. It is frustrating to see people being handed vast amounts of money without contributing anything.
