If Davis does a round-house kick in a forest and no one is around to see it, do the butterflies still flap their wings?

Blast from the past...I used to know the owner of the DMZ bar - former Marine from Vietnam days.
^and^^ That'll be Sgt Bostick at your service, or Tick as everyone called him. A terrific guy and most definitely a real character!. BLD I remember that blown up photo of Tick and Chuck, it was signed with the message "Stay on top DMZ". For some reason, the memory of that one photo stays strong till this day.
Those were the days, huh?
When real men gathered in real manly bars romancing over real manly man military things....
OO-RAH!!
Mr Knowlton did a round house kick so fast it diverted solar radiation away from the earth, thus saving the ozone and countless generations from doom.
To return to topic.
A few years ago in Blighty I dated a Filipina, she was a Ward Sister at a local hospital.
Fun bubbly and very intelligent, however !!
Where I worked it was and is a criminal offence to take in a mobile phone. I told her this and would tell her how long my next shift would be, and at what time I would finish.
This was ignored because when I turned on my phone my inbox would be full.
The texts would start all nice and complimentary, have a safe day, miss you and so forth.
They would then deteriorate into downright abuse, you are cheating on me, what's her name, I'll kill you/myself.
They would then be all apologetic until she couldn't send anymore.
To be happy with a Filipina is easy, destroy your mobile amd don't buy another.
SCROTUM PASS ME PISTOL

Jeez....now that really is narky.
Someone woke up feeling cranky this morning
It looked shite from the outside, but a decent, central venue for an early drink during happy hour.

This is kind of true. I have real difficulty interacting with them. Even if we talking the same language, they have no idea what I am talking about. All they seem to do is play cards, drink, facebook, shopping, gossip, I am force to mix with farang, and then the diffrence between me and the Thai wives gets bigger.
I still have couple of friends who are from the same background (Cambodian Thai village) who I can get on with fine, and I have met a few other Thai women like me in the west, but most are not. The way I talk in Thai or Isan is so different from in English - I forget so many words, and I got a funny Cambodian accent in Thai anyway, so they seem like they don't know where I'm from, and it's safer if I talk English, because they openly look down on Lao and Isan people.
The rich ones at uni are difficult to make friends with because they seem to judge everyone all the time. I only met a few of Thai postgraduates from middle class province who were alright, but you know, oriental mode and european mode is such a different way of thinking, as soon as they are around other Thais. I seen this with Koreans too - very oriental how they think in the group, but OK on their own.
I known some Philipine women too, like a nurse and a shop, and I think they very friendly, I don't have problem with them, easier to talk to than Thai.

I've still got a DMZ beer cooler. Slightly of topic but we're talking about Filipinas right, tick had a pretty good stable and run a no bullshit bar, it was always amusing to see him puffing away on cigars and holding court, telling large story's, I wasn't there this particular night but a mate of mine witnessed tick and Swedish frank swapping glass eyes, frank was typically Scandinavian with blond hair and blue eyes and his glass eye matched his remaining good blue one, tick on the other hand had brown eyes, and a brown glass one courtesy of the Vietcong Anyway they both got so fucked up on the rum that frank departed with his bar fine and forgot to re exchange glass eyes and forgot all about it until he got back to subic and looked in the mirror. Quite a character was tick
^Yep. he had a tale or two. He established early on that I was a VN vet, but as I don't really talk about it, we never had much of a conversation other than who were you with, when, and where. But I did hear him spin some tales...quite good ones.
