Bloody good idea Dave, might even promote a bit of tourism. Please you start the post and I'll be happy to join in with something stupid. Cheers Old Bob

You're a legend. Doing it now. Happy Easter to you and your family.

Makes me think about the Philippino buy brides?

What are you going on about Bob? I am married to a Philippino. What problems should I expect?

Despite Akhenaten's noble efforts, most of Old Bob's posts display either gross ignorance or racism. Ignore him.

I feel you are doing him a disservice; he can sometimes manage both in the same post.

Well no disrespect to your wife but some old Australian men do pay for a wife from the Philippines hence the name buy bride. I hope you have no trouble, some of the posts are tongue in cheek.

And some posts are offensive.

I am aware of the term. Mail order brides is another. As a tip, never ask a Filipino if she is one. It's highly offensive.

No trouble at all. The best thing I ever did. I know our children will have many advantages of being brought up by two different cultures (well 3 really considering I am first generation Australian - both my parents are Irish).

Please point out any racially offensive posts I've made.
