as i'd be out re-gathering my scattered braincells, here are some thoughts that crossed me mind lately:
1. it was so shockingly windy this morning that i was nearly blown off course at the traffic lights near to my block of flats - that's not unexpected given that i'm pathetically lightweight
2. the next time i hear anyone claiming that wee islanders are a conservative lot :: splutter, gag :: i will laugh out loud in the spastic's mug and proclaim that they are but a bunch of hypocrites - see #'s 3 & 5 below
3. some young shameless wee island undergraduate bint went on national radio to dedicate a tune to, and i quote: "..the cute norwegian researcher..." at her university - conservative wee islander my derierre
4. the next time i buy a made-in-japan product with instructions only in japanese, i'm gonna give the jap embassy a ring to vent my spleen. but the utter irony is they go places with their inventions - lucky sods
5. the next time i see some wee island chavette slag twirling her effin' tresses to attract the attention of the white bloke standing/sitting next to her, i'd go up to 'em and bleat: "...may you go bald in no time.."
6. weather forecast for today is strong winds are expected throughout the day, together with rain - drat
7. i've had been a tad unkind to wee islanders in general all this while. some are actually pleasantly well-mannered which got me thinking - is it because of the english legacy that made them utter "sorry" - in english of course - when you have to pass through 'em; or when they accidentally knocked me. while some even say "thank you" when i apologise for blocking their passage; or moving aside for them to get out of the seat in the bus.
to be honest, such gestures warm the cockles of my heart. and believe me, other asians are not as polite. especially 'em birds.
erm, that's about all for now. but watch this space for more blah's.
as enscribed by the letter b @ December 14, 2004 05:00 AMi have to say that there are but they are in the minority, whereas to some it's probably their close proximity to the "motherland". i think.
or that they were not schooled the english way, very chinky in their mindset, attitude and wotnot. but then again, wee islanders are like that also isn't it?
as blahed by the letter b @ December 14, 2004 07:07 AMIt's the Englishness. Then again, why are HKers not English that way?
