The sense of humour bar seems to have been lowered somewhat in recent weeks.clutchcargo wrote:
Continue with these sort of insensitive insults and you get a holiday.
Gone are the days where we may poke some fun at fellow expats, lest someone get offended. (notice the good humoured poster who I made the joke towards never batted an eyelid, only the mod thought it needed policing.)
It's a shame, but I suppose its the way most things are heading these days.

Not sure if he's old-time or just smart. In any case, I hope he keeps spouting.andy_morris wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 10:33 pmJohn Bingham wrote:I know the area very well.

Old-timey expats love spouting this kind of shit.
It's a hell of a lot more interesting than baby skulls in crocodile mouths and loser expats who get picked up by immigration wearing the same pants they've had on for two long and smelly years. Not to mention one sock and a plastic bag.

He's old timey. As am I. Not sure about this clutch cargo fella, though. I think he may have arrived with the last wave of bearded SJWs riding cafe racers eating deconstructed pho out of a biodegradable sun hat.Cinnamoncat wrote:Not sure if he's old-time or just smart.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, Mr. Cc! We are all part of the rich tapestry of life at CEO. I'm joking, of course. Your input is greatly appreciated. I hope you are compensated accordingly for your efforts. Remember that our diet is not just the food we ingest, but the data that constantly fills our view.
But yes, dykes and ditches are more interesting than plastic bags for shoes and that look of dispair seen on those who get marching orders for lack of funds and correct paperwork.
That baby skull must have been within the bounds of the crocodile a while as it was completely skinned free of all flesh.

Some things you can't "unsee," as has been noted here (and, in fact, was duly noted on the crocodile tale).
I didn't have a look at it, myself. I've shown some amazing restraint with avoiding such images, as I've seen so much I scarcely want to shut my eyes at night to go to sleep.
Anyway, you're all a good group, and it's good to come in and hang out, and try to peddle my book too!

I suppose we have to train ourselves not to be affected. Not to react.
That's not to say we become inhumane. More like we accept the reality as it is.
And this reality now, for 'us' as individuals, is also changing by the minute. We are changing by the minute. Billions of reactions taking place and changing us with every breath we take. On a cellular level, we are never the same from one second to the next.
The reality of impermanence. Everything changes.

Maybe the mods can do their jobs and keep it on topic like they do occasionally.
