Pete? What do you reckon?
The official waiting time quoted is 13 weeks for Manila, I got this from the Hansard reviews in Parliament, Manila is one of the longest waiting times, of course, who knows with them, not my favourite pals right now, but tell you what,
I am back in country on or around 15th-22nd August I will ask for you, dont hold you breath, they dont exactly like me very much, but I can but try, first, I have to get past the Philippine Marines, a packet of fags each should do the trick.
Then there is the private securitty guard, again same thing a packet of fags, 30 pesos each, not bad, only spent 90 pesos so far.
Then there is the reception at the ground floor Locsin Building, some grinning Filipina with a smile, that looks like a possum eating a sweet potatoe (cant let you in sir, policy)
Then a security check, and a lift to the 15th floor, then just maybe..just maybe I might find out the information you want, but listen pal, if you go out there, dont pinch the yellow lamp post on the pavement, thats Mine....know what I mean..I stand there, thats why I have a bright yellow stripe up my Fred Perry shirt, and one up my ass.
Question: whats the difference between the British Embassy Manila and a toilet ?
Answer: You can flush a toilet !!!
