Can you explain? Cheers It was more a parody of the type of people you are describing in your original post. Time to check your rage meter pal. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Positive job interview feedback but failed to get the job Had an interview at tesco, my 4th interview in 3 weeks now so I'm getting more confident in my approach and answers, I thought I nailed it, during the interview the lady was very positive about my answers and insisted my lack of retail experience wasn't an issue Then I get the call, she said she was incredibly impressed with me but just lost out to someone with experience. Incredibly frustrating and depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 When I really need a spesific item in the shops. Say toothpaste. I write it down. I take time to go there. I walk home with 25 items, then realize I've forgotten the toothpaste. Everybloodytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the women aren’t actually men! Huh huh” ”Did you check for an Adam’s apple! LOL” Some people also seem to think every woman who lives there is on the game. Oh, so all 3M women in Bangkok are prostitutes. Yeah, sure, you **** idiot. Get this - I was asked the other day what I was doing for my 40th at a team meeting... and I said me and a few mates might go to Tokyo or a trip around China. One buffoon said "ladyboys huh" and sniggered. Cretin. I put him right though... said I prefer my ladyboys to be Thai 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to a degree people just say things for the sake of saying something , bit like people talk about the weather over here ... shit he’s been to Thailand , I need to be polite and ask a follow up question but don’t know anything about the place , oh wait it’s got Ladyboys that will do ,and a lady boy joke is probably seen as a less offensive option than asking you out right if you are a sex tourist the female equivalent of the lady boy line is they ask each other “did you go to the beach that was in that film whose name I can’t remember with Leonardo Di Caprio In it “ ... thats just the way it is , it’s a sterotype but I don’t think it’s intended as a malicious one tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking an individual if they’re a sex tourist seems generally less offensive than implying a country’s population of women are mostly men. But I get your point overall. It’s also generally those people who have barely been out of the town they grew up in that usually don’t understand long haul destinations like Thailand, and seem to think all thirty million annual visitors go for ladyboys and sex tourism. It’s not: it’s usually just the blokes who do other sad things with their time like post on football forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 £1191.67 for my 1 year old to go to nursery for a month (working days). How have we got to that? Just ridiculous, nearly twice our mortgage for him to be propped up when he topples over every so often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ridiculous, nearly twice our mortgage for him to be propped up when he topples over every so often. Mine was £800 a month (when he was in 5 days a week) - have a look around? Or, if you live in and around London, you might be right!! Don't forget, when they get to 3, you get 30 hours free, which helps a lot! We're lucky that 2 days a week, our boy goes to his nanny's (monday's) and grandma's on Friday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
