Stop polluting it please.

Stop polluting it please.[/QUOTE]I thought it was a fun discussion and read it with interest. Go to the UAE board and you find the likes of Ikks there with a few others who find any reference to color racist. And some of us have to remind the holy righteous what sarcasm and irony is. Even using the word black humor sets some off. The same people who gladly shag African girls in Dubai or worse be scammed by them.

Funny old world but have a look at UAE board (Dubai thread, read me, Cons68, Snow and a few others) and see the reaction to comments made based o facts plus some very nice comedy (well British humor is always more understanding and edgy than others Ikks).

Keep up the good work, your irony / sarcasm and black humor are much appreciated and understood by this monger LOL.

Stop polluting it please.[/QUOTE]There is a Jokes and Humorous posting section. That audience is looking for laughs. Maybe not as many critics too.

Anybody know if the moneychangers in Angeles accept Thai Baht, and if so what's the rate? For some silly reason I withdraw to much Baht in Thailand, and I wonder if I should convert it to dollars here or wait until I get to Phillippines and convert the Baht to Pesos.

I have exchanged baht for pesos in Manila, but not Angeles. In my case I had to mentally convert baht to USDollars, then USDollars to pesos. The Manila money changer gave a good rate. I had only a few thousand baht and I knew I was not going to go back to Thailand anytime soon. But if you plan to return and do not need the money now, I would just hang on to it.

I doubt you will find a favorable exchange rate at the AC money changers if they even convert. Just my thoughts.

It's even worse in reverse. Philippine pesos bring next to nothing in Baht or Hong Kong Dollars. If you exchange the pesos to dollars in the Philippines then change those dollars back in Thailand or wherever else you always get more for your money.

[QUOTE=NakedGunz;1803041]You know I'm not offended, I'm actually disappointed. It clearly says this "This forum is moderated", but I get bombarded with slave cartoons. Did I pay for that too? I love pussy. I love jumping around this site to gather intel for upcoming trips. And lo and behold the dumb shit always seems to leak thru. It's either a newbie requesting obvious info that he refuses to read and gather, but loves to beg for, or the occasional racist yearning for the old days- and forcing his crap down everybody's throat. You have tried to ruin one of the best threads on this site- The magical Philippines.

I assume Brit or Aussie. Same old half-hearted racism through the keyboard. I see them everywhere I go. Phils, Patt, BKK, Indo. Feeble old men hating on the blacks that get Asian pussy. You guys arrive by the millions in Pattaya, but only brave mzungu go to Africa. Them I respect, and their usually German.

What's truly sad is that those old racist days are numbered. Their youthful looks are gone, their lack of intelligence is obvious, spoil sports taking the ball home. The best ISG members share pics, share intel, and wishes fellow mongers good luck- but no, somehow hate walked into this party! Racists are old and need somebody to blame. Sorry my junk is bigger than yours mate. Yeah those videos and TV shows with sexy black men are making it over there, and your girl wants some! Oh, its true.

Yeah, I'm disappointed. Hell, real racists KILL and* Only fakes talk about it!

Yeah, we hate Obama too. He's too busy trying to please fake racists overseas! If your going to hate, be real with it. Oh, by the way. Racist hate is always directed at the wrong race of people. Dumb racist always fail to see the real threat. Hint: They multiply by the thousands and they are living among you![/QUOTE]Anything that is posted on a forum and left there after a moderation check which is twice a day here is because the site owner / admin / s find the content unobjectionable.

Countries are known to stockpile USD and euro in their reserves and so there is a demand for it in about every country that you go to. Nobody outside of the respective countries wants a baht or PHP. What good does it serve them? All it does is take up space and gather dust until some poor sap who is travelling back to one of those countries finally comes along. Since there is no demand for it the exchange is lowered. They are in essence saying we really don't want to take this, but if you insist then we will take it off your hands at a deep discount.

Exchange houses make a small commission or spread on the currency exchange. Only makes cents that they only want the fastest turnover currencies. They must bundle it up and convert it back to pesos as fast as possible and turn it over again to make any kind of money.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1804999]It is because nobody wants that shitty ass currency.[/QUOTE]That's funny. It seems this so called shitty ass currency you refer to has held up quite nicely compared to the shitty ass currency of Australia, Canada, Russia, etc. I know a few broke ass Aussies walking around here pissing and moaning how their currency is in the crapper. Some of these Aussies have packed it in and move away. The ones that are left are shopping for bargain base beaver on Johnny Street now. Sad to see.

[QUOTE=Ikksman;1803149]I sincerely apologise that I posted a mainly OT, tongue in cheek post that perhaps was an imperfect attempt at 'black humour', although I am a strictly amateur stand up and write scripts for a couple of other comics (no smart remarks please). And I warned everyone that it was OT!



P.P.S. And one single advertisement courtesy of the Victorian Museum is "bombarded". Really?[/QUOTE]Ikks no need to apologise at all. There are those who are offended at the slightest comment and the rest of us who understand the world, and recognise humour when we see it. Do keep going Sir. Ignore the sad sacks who clearly have a lot of inner rage and frustration about life and were born lacking their " funny bone ".

Enjoy the fat mamms of Lesotho. Went there once and it was colder than Harbin on a December night but that's where a warm African lady can help. Oh god. I said the "African" word. Does that make me a racist now. Big LOL.

Being a mzungu who has enjoyed the delights of Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda and of course Maseru perhaps not.
