Yeah..... this happened to me once. Mate, I tell yer, that was a bad day...how I wish I had've had a keyboard to kneel on. This bloke is LUCKY! But it won't happen to me again as I now can't wait to hand it all over. And that's not all I'm expected to do...I also have to do the homework every other day. For that, ... Full Comment>>

Blah blah blah...... But I'll tell ya one thing and I'm not jokin... My MIL doesn't give a rats arse about her daughter and never has... So you can call me 'O Lucky Man'! Full Comment>>

I believe it. And I believe most people will welcome this proactive step by their Leaders to enhance their quality of life. Down with the skeptics. Zhong guo number one! Full Comment>>

I'll do more than just support the speculation, I'll give first hand evidence that the allegation is absolute fact. I know my outlook email is hacked because I've met the person who the gov't calls in to do it. The person is known to both my wife and I and she has divulged to us content of my emails that she has ... Full Comment>>

The food was too salty. Full Comment>>

Why didn't the bloke next to him just knock him out? I mean, everybody just allowed this to happen for 2 fking hours!! Nah....impossible. Full Comment>>

Lucky, lucky bastard. Probably won something to qualify for this bonus. Full Comment>>

The bloke's licking the hole in the floor toilet. Full Comment>>

Yes, and there's many, many people in China. And the police are very, very busy; very, very tired. Mate, why doesn't someone just turn the pressure down and stop doing, and accepting, stupid things. Ask Johnny Farnham how to do it. Full Comment>>

Oh for goodness sake, so much of what goes on in this country isn't normal. Normal for them, but not for us. And the day anyone tries to change the status quo around here will be the day he/she, their family and friends will go missing. The government likes the status quo. Full Comment>>

It wasn't for Darren Lehman. Uttering those words within earshot of those intended got him into all sorts of trouble. Still, all's well that ends well, as he's got a pretty good gig now. And btw, I think the Kiwis will do very well in the upcoming World Cup. They're in a purple patch right now. Full Comment>>

That's just so shocking I can't believe it. Except I do believe it. Because I've lived in China for almost 5 years now and I see up close what this place is really like. So sad, so sick. And no hope. Full Comment>>

Can we meet? Lets meet. Full Comment>>

Oh, the low morality in this society....no dispute about that one! Full Comment>>

What did they do? Take a photo....good grief! I suppose someone might have been playing a little music too? Perhaps there was some banter going on also...My God! Seems nothing compared to what really goes on in an operating theatre...Heheheheh....If only you all knew! Bloody hell, lighten up. And give the staff back ... Full Comment>>

You might yet meet one of these "unique and independent local girls".... They are around. I hope you do. Full Comment>>

I got lucky too....my Chinese family have disowned their daughter/sister since she married me and I couldn't possibly be happier. Nor my wife, thankfully. In fact, they were always arseholes and never gave her any time or respect anyway because they have a son. That is, unless they wanted money out of her. Full Comment>>

Exactly right. The exercise is not about winning money but getting rid of money. Black money. Any dividends are then legitimate. It's a very big business. 24 hrs a day.....churn the money over. Turn a billion into 650 million.....WINNER! Full Comment>>

Macau is the gambling capital of the world. Something like 2.5 times Las Vegas' turnover. Full Comment>>

Hey Engelted, you gettin this? Seems like I'm not the only person who thinks Chinese people are rude. They are rude. Full Comment>>

Why not give some thought to Yunnan Province? That's where I'd go if I wasn't nailed to where I am. Not that I don't like where I am. I do. But I reckon Yunnan would be better. Great climate and easy to travel to nearby countries. Full Comment>>

That's very good, and all the best for your business. But I want you to deliver to Xinjiang. Full Comment>>

Mate, that is precisely what people think of China. Full Comment>>

It's a publicity stunt. A farce. Since when does anyone actually think cheating is bad? Only results matter. The means by how they are attained are irrelevant. Full Comment>>

Yeah, everyone wants to be friends with you. Wrong. They just want to be seen to be friends with a foreigner. Not the same thing. Friends can be found here but it's not simple. Getting around the insincerity and shallowness of locals is no mean feat. Good luck with that one. Travelling is a perk? I don't think so. ... Full Comment>>
