    That is one giant step for Sabang to suggest that HK might have any positive effect on mainland China!
    No wonder you have suddenly become an obtuse fake copy of OhOh if that’s your thinking.

    As a matter of interest, why you do you always ask such dumb and irrelevant questions because you don't like the fact the chinkies pick those who control HK and have done so for many years?

    Seeing as I just told you the opposite (in a political, not economic sense) I would suggest what passes for your thinking requires considerable rectification swish.
    ^ OK, so you have never been there. That's fine 'arry, but don't pretend to be an expert on the place.

    So let me get this straight, you have decided that the chinkies don't pick the HK leader because I haven't told you anything about my interactions or visits to Hong Kong.

    What a fucking moron.

    No, I'm saying that you are just a big mouthed, childish, embittered serial loser who knows fuck all about Hong Kong, or pretty much anything else for that matter. The less you know, the more you spout off and expose yourself for who you aren't. Delusions of Adequacy? Loser.

    ? Like your diligence mate, Kowloon Tong is a suburb of HK (and MTR + KCR station), it's m'goi really, and don't know offhand what you mean by 'Bin Fong'.
    (fong bin means convenient, fong pay ('room dragon') is slang for fart.)

    So is this drivel somehow supposed to detract from the fact that the chinkies pick who runs HK and not the HK people?

    You incredibly stupid wanker.

    This from a resentful loser who has never had a decent job in his life, and sadly never will. It is impossible for lowly people like you to insult people like me, but in your case I would not even sling you a tip. Hey, if you can ever save up the shekels to set foot in HK, I'll arrange one of my friends to buy you a beer. Honest.

    My colloquial Chinese probably comes from a time when Kai Tak was the only international airport. BS = before Sabang. Here’s a clue. It was usually directed at those nice red Toyota taxi drivers.

    No, Kai Tak was the airport for several years after I moved to HK- fond memories. In winter (when it was cool) it was a habit of my ex-wife and I to go to one of the several Hotpot restaurants in Kowloon City, on the final approach. Honestly- the noise, and you could actually smell the avgas. It used to blow visitors out.

    My Kowloon apartment overlooked the sharp, last minute banking turn pilots used to make the runway.

    Keep creating issues that don't exist then argue against them, proving how clever you are.

    Looks like our bank teller is getting snarky. Well trying to anyway.

    Beacon Hill- great view from up there. Were you by any chance there with the Army? In which case you might just know the "Better 'Ole" a pub popular with squaddies from Sek Kong barracks or Deeds Lines, in Fanling. Long gone now, of course. I lived in Shatin for a while anyway- other side of the Lion Rock tunnel from you. The other famous Army pub was the Smugglers, in Stanley.

    Spent all my time shacked up in a Wanchai apartment above the Neptune bar.

    Neptune was still going strong thru the 90's. My first abode in HK was in a serviced apartment in Lockhart Rd, right next to the MTR station. Short walk to the office. Even shorter to the bars. Marc Faber (aka Dr Doom) was a regular at Neptune's- he'd generally get there about 2300, after European hours.

    Great shot of a child playing and a man on a bicycle on Lockhart Road. Even I don't remember that far back!
    I know thatI have been in Neptune on multiple occasions. Don't remember that either.

    Heh, did you meet Suzy Wong? Neptune had an amazing run though, by HK standards. It finally closed in the nawties. Good place to practise your Tagalog.

    Several. Half the ladies were Suzies back then.

    Not yet that old. Hoping to get there.
    I was a seventies man and it was pretty busy along that street by then.
    I see the taxi is an AF registration, my Mark 3 Spitfire was an AJ, although far from new.
