Good luck. You'll have a great life with a woman the way the UK one's used to be a few decades back when they understood the meaning of the words love, polite, kind, helpful, etc (houseworrk, washing, ironing ;D )
Being a scouser I tend to say thing like "hurry up you stupid t***" in a supermarket, and this does tend to upset them, even though she knows it is sarcasm, but she handles my humour very well.
Even better in Asia is that they take a while to get to know my humour, so it can be great fun winding them up until they realise I'm piddling about.
You should send your mate over to my other site, I'll teach him how to make money from gambling, and yes, that is my full-time job.
