I'm guessing your name is Natalie and you're 36?

**katie23** · 31-08-2019, 07:19 AM

^Nope, not Natalie. She's a Caucasian woman, and has posted on one of my travel threads.

I'm a Filipina and have several travel threads in the PI, as well as other sections. There's a hiking thread too - my knee is currently banged up from a recent hike. I've met some members from here for a meal, and they can vouch that I'm an Asian woman.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

The pleasure is mine.

^cheers!

If ever you or your family are in Manila and want to meet up, you can PM me. I can give you the grand tour of Intramuros (the old walled city) or neighboring provinces, if I'm available.

The invite to meet/greet is for any TD member, as long as you're a gentleman. Like Bettyboo, who was very polite & gentlemanly during our meetup.

Thank you, thats very kind of you.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Manila and Cebu for a Telco and your DICT . . . and then later in Mindanao for something else, but my family haven't been.

Yeah, I had no idea what a bogan was until a year or 2 after joining here. Sure people who skim read will see Bogan instead of Bogon.

...and the avatar is not a spitting image of me, but close enough.

Whereas with Willy it's near spot on

Also accurately reflecting his mental makeup.

As for myself, I do in fact Latin dance.

No need to insult gorillas . . . I'm sure KW would concur

The musical artiste Fatboyslim was quite popular at the time I discovered the existence of internet forums so I cleverly twisted the name to make another one - slimboyfat.

And I used a pic of CJ as my avatar because a poster called NickA used one of Reggie Perrin.

I didn't get where I am today by not using a pic of CJ as my avatar because a poster called NickA used one of Reggie Perrin.

That's not how you spell "Fishwife".

Whatever your brain decides. For me she usually rotates left. Very rarely I can make her rotate right.

**bowie** · 31-08-2019, 03:45 PM

Easy to reverse directions - just concentrate on the foot as the heel hits the floor and pick the direction of rotation.

Can't change direction

**Saint Willy** · 31-08-2019, 05:12 PM

It worked !

One-upmanship, KW?

Stingray was the first programme I remember vividly watching on the telly. I fell in love with Marina at a very young age and my wife looks uncannily like her. I have nothing in common with Troy except we both love Marina.

All the computers and networks I have setup include Gerry Anderson characters, mostly Stingray and Fireball XL5.

I am a good looking geezer and enjoy getting tugged off by the roadside fairy light ladies.

I found this sight while looking up info on Laos. It took me to Beer Lao Dudes "Mining in Laos'' thread. Quite the thread I must say. From then on I found the building thread cool with old monkeys' place a real standout. Too bad I can't find it anymore and that I had had them build our place back in 2009. A bit late to use any knowledge that thread holds. Oh well, life goes on for now.

The Avitar is of the house in Laos. I sent the gf in 2004 to see her mom. I didn't want to go because I thought people would recall the war and not like me for that so I just sent her. She made it back with spectacular pics of the place and said we could build a place there for cheep. I figured if I was going to visit I'd need a place to stay anyway so we had them build a little farm house by the river in spring of 2009. We arrived in November and went to work on the electrical, bathrooms and kitchen as well as the septics other systems, ha ha fish humor there.

The username;

Years ago I was fishing with an old friend on Michigan when over the radio we kept hearing the commercial charter boats calling to each other "three in the box....four in the box" and on and on and on. We left that day with our limit of ten salmon in the box. Our cooler was full and the Fishlocker aptly christened.

Ok, for guys like the fireman I'll simplify all that. The Fishlocker is the name of my boat.

I've met the Beer Lao Dude and his lovely wife and family while in VTE last christmass . Great people that went out of their way to show us around a bit. It's times like that that make me wonder why I don't pack it up here and take a permanent vacation. Cheers BLD I'll crack one open for you a bit later. Hope all is well with your plans. I do expect a picture thread soon.

Gotta fly....

Made my own av to reflect my lot in life.

Nik, the name of a young shipmate who lost his life standing next to me on the PBR.
