Hahaha, they always comment about me, for years I have been going to Phils, still they comment about me on the Barangays, if its not my beer belly, its my blonde hair, or people can be quite rude, sometimes they are commenting on how my girl and I have sex ??

Oh yes yes yes, they do comment about it, they would want to know every intricate little detail, they are fascinated by the thought of it, but you know mate, its never the educated that do this, its mainly in my experience, the tambayan types, or the Tambay, the ones who have nothing to do all day but sit and comment.

Whatever one does, you will never escape from being commented about, I am sure they find much to comment about you, but because we are all different, they are tickled by it, and they love a good story, and if their is a scandal to be had, they love that even more.

Sometimes some of their comments can be extremely rude, sometimes my girl would tell me, its ok, they did not say anything, but when I press her about the matter, she is embarassed to tell me, its normally sexual inuendo, and as for safety, yes mate we have to keep them safe, I did put a 10 point plan about safety in a recent post, as for someone sticking a knife in me, my dearest thinks they would not want to chance their luck, I would wrap their knife around there neck, the only thing I am scared of, is being confronted with a gun, when I myself am not armed.

I just wish sometimes I could carry my own 45 handgun, or a.n.other weapon, i would feel much safer, but sadly foreigners are not allowed to do this.

Good points mate take care.
Hi there Pete. You are totally right, there are so many comments made, of all types; I must admit that I'm only inclined to take note when I think someone is disrespecting my queen.

As you alluded, so many more people are fascinated by the 'validity' of our relationship than with making horrible comments. They then say things like, " oh, yours is really a genuine relationship". Hehe!

I guess growing up in a rough part of London that was always in the news in the 80s, I am used to knives being pulled out on me. I know that as long as I can see it a knife is also unlikely to be used against me.

As we both know, knives are close quarter weapons and it takes a very unusual person or circumstance for one to be used against a larger and meaner looking apponent (ako ). With a knive there is always the chance that the attacker can have the knife taken off him and used against him.

Anyway, I pray that neither you or I, or indeed anyone else on this forum is ever put in the horrible situations we have been discussing lately.

All the best to Gina and your good self!
