Says a lot about exactly how civilized eh! This has had lip service paid to it for quite a long time now, it's damn disgusting and, nowhere near good enough.  RRRoooooar! |

My head hair started to turn grey when I was about 25/26 and was fully grey by about 35 and certainly by 40.
One of the reasons I came to the Philippines is because of 'Elder Respect' which I noted deterioration in Australia.
Not everywhere of course but some folk seem to delight in targeting 'older' looking folk!

yes, when someone wants to insult you they now seem to put "old" before or after the adjective as a further insult.

That's ok nomadicI've finally taught the expats here that when I call someone an "old bastard" I'm not denigrating their parentage but merely reflecting an Australian expression. Some Australian bloke wrote a book "Bastards I Have Met" and I have introduced the terminology! Some now call me a "Silly Bastard"!  |

Some Australian bloke wrote a book "Bastards I Have Met" and I have introduced the terminology! Some now call me a "Silly Bastard"! Great book that one. I read it years ago before I became a "silly old bastard"  I might look into the Great Mega Library in the Cloud to see if it's there. Need to refresh my vocabulary and memory of it. If I recall correctly, it was a laugh a minute.  Cheers bear |
