Being a “single” woman in Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I was sitting chatting to someone about Olive & Olive and how great it is. I was talking about the lamb shank that had been slow cooked in the pizza over for eight hours and just melted off the bone.

So the guy sitting on the other side of the person I was talking to leans over and says - "Eight hours! He should get a pressure cooker, it will be done in 40 minutes."
I told him that Olive & Olive didn't really need his advice, despite him insisting he's been a chef for twenty years and knows this stuff.

He called me rude and some other names and then said "I'm never going to talk to you again!" which was great actually, because I was about to suggest to him he do just that. ;)
What nationality was the guy who made the comment about a pressure cooker? Any chance it was undetected humour?
I think he’s English.

He's Australian.

He told me that he was there and speaking to the person sat between him and Roz alas not interrupting. Without passing judgement, he said that Roz had yelled at him not to interrupt their conversation.

I have no idea and I wasn't there. Just retelling what I've been told. I've met Roz and she didn't yell at me or behave rude so got nothing against her.

If he could communicate like a civilized adult, we'd have no issue with him expressing his opinions on here, but here's an email from them which kinda shows why we might not want him on here:

Yikes!...no doubt.

Still, no call for Username Taken to threaten me with mod preview over a cheeky question though.

Anywhoooo, all's well that ends well.... :thumb:
