Best Filipino joke, as told by a Filipino
.
.
We visited The Philippines once.
Whilst there, we went into a bar in Manilla and the Filipino guy behind the bar asked whether we were Canadian, American or Australian.
We said: 'No! Ac-tu-ally, WE are British!!!'
He said: 'Oh, sorry ... but you all look the same to me'
HAHAHAHAHA

I still go and return as I please, because I did not try to cheat the system, because of my nationality or arrogance. That I would remember in the books, being arrogant and insipid in many ways, specially from a British like yourself.

it all depends upon IF war is declared...Vietnam, Korea...these were police actions and although so many of our men got killed, it was not technically a war, therefore different tatics were employed.
If you look at history, as previously suggested and I will strongly suggest once again.. for the most part America has been ASKED for its help...but people tend to forget that small insignificant fact.
As far as Iraq..I have to say I have never been in support of that war...I do support the troops however because they are following their orders.
As far as an Englishman being in power in the Independence War...yes he was, and so were all the other pre-Americans...English that is...but England pushed them too hard and with no mercy...and they rebelled.

I saw a woman in Carrefour the other week who was tall and of African descent. But I immediately thought, "She's an American." It was something about the way she walked, or rather, strode. Sure enough, I met her at the American Women's Association later and she from the US. There's a purposeful, chin-up stride that Americans often have.

You can look at numbers, but our milita were mostly farmers, untrained in war tactics, facing a very well trained British military...especially check out the last paragraph.
Armies, militias, and mercenaries
Colonists were divided over which side to support in the war; in some areas, the struggle was a civil war. The Revolutionaries (also known as Americans or Patriots) had the active support of about 40 to 45 percent of the colonial population. About 15 to 20 percent of the population supported the British Crown during the war, and were known as Loyalists (or Tories). Loyalists fielded perhaps 50,000 men during the war years in support of the British Empire. After the war, some 70,000 Loyalists departed the United States, most going to Canada, Great Britain, or to British colonies in the Caribbean.
When the war began, the Americans did not have a regular army (also known as a "standing army"). Each colony had traditionally provided for its own defenses through the use of local militia. Militiamen served for only a few weeks or months at a time, were reluctant to go very far from home, and were thus generally unavailable for extended operations. Militia lacked the training and discipline of regular soldiers, but were occasionally effective against regular troops. American militia were sometimes adept at partisan warfare, and were particularly effective at suppressing Loyalist activity when British regulars were not in the area.
Seeking to coordinate military efforts, the Continental Congress established (on paper) a regular army—the Continental Army—in June 1775, and appointed George Washington as commander-in-chief. The development of the Continental Army was always a work in progress, and Washington reluctantly augmented the regular troops with militia throughout the war. Although as many as 250,000 men may have served as regulars or as militiamen for the Revolutionary cause in the eight years of the war, there were never more than 90,000 total men under arms for the Americans in any given year. Armies in North America were small by European standards of the era; the greatest number of men that Washington personally commanded in the field at any one time was fewer than 17,000.
Early in 1775, the British Army consisted of about 36,000 men worldwide, but wartime recruitment steadily increased this number. Additionally, over the course of the war the British hired about 30,000 German mercenaries, popularly known in the colonies as "Hessians" because many of them came from Hesse-Kassel. Germans would make up about one-third of the British troop strength in North America. By 1779, the number of British and German troops stationed in North America was over 60,000, though these were spread from Canada to Florida.

Actually I like the look and feel of large cars, but HATE parking them!! I call them landboats. That's why I drive what I do(ok the FJ is a larger car but the turning radius is awesome!!) and as far as American cars being reliable...they aren't. I was very serious about them being built to break down. There have been many articles on that...sadly enough. Same with the seatbelt issue. Ford KNEW that putting seatbelts in would save lives, but it cost more to redesign the car and facilities, than it would to pay off lawsuits for wrongful deaths, so they opted for the cheapest route..until the government stepped in. Same with the gas tank design on some cars...really a shame what greed will do to some people.
With the F150...it wouldn't surprise me to see that number NOT reduce, even with the recession...for the most part, the people who use those trucks have a need for the power for their work or livelihood. I would venture a guess that every other truck is purchased in either Texas or Louisana...

you are one of the least uptight Brits I have ever met...but I'm not afraid of you clobbering me because i can hold you at arms length and you still can't touch me!! Hope you had a great walk!! Also hope you didn't eat too much curry or you will be going scurry to the nearest toilet facility!!
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
with the cars..yes historically we have made big cars...but to be honest with you, I would rather have a german car due to the reliablility and style of it instead of an American one...they are made to break down too fast!
As far as the Ford F150...of all the cars you listed..this one is the one that actually REQUIRES a huge engine for all the work it does on the ranches and farms...plus they are the truck of choice for pulling boats!! I know in some of the nation, people just buy trucks to look cool...but in Texas, trucks are a necessity and are actually USED to work instead of being bought just for looks.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
true...I can't seem to get used to seeing someone obviously originally from elsewhere in this world, speaking with a British accent...but will have to since all nationalities are moving to other countries to live and adopting their countries as their own. That's whats so great about America..its how we were formed..by immigrants, so we are a mishmash of all people.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
And I'm not so uptight that I wouldn't hesitate to clobber any one of you on sight! lol

Due to the recession in America, vaccines are only produced per personal request, limited quantities, no more freebies for the world. MAYBE THE CHINESE have the solution for the flu vaccines and many other choices in life...

You are catching the British flu and uptightness with your comments.

At least in the USA, the white population, still trying to call themselves a majority.
In the UK, they rename themselves 'the new species in the brink of extinction.'
To many British Hindus with that darn British Accent.

I love Americans in dungarees... They look so comfortable.. I'm sure RP wears a pair over his long johs and Cow boy boots..
Since curry is now our national dish.. We tend to look "uptight" the next morning after a heavy curry./.

Brits tend to be more up tight and have a different look than other nationalities...
bingo!!!!! you hit the jackpot!!!!
Dracula drinks Bacardi rum on the rocks.
I can tell just by looking at people where they are from..
Americans tend to stand more relaxed and smile a lot...
Brits tend to be more up tight and have a different look than other nationalities...
Aussies...always laughing, and having a good time no matter what is going on...
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
you definitely forgot something on your personality descriptions...
Americans do NOT wear dungarees...we don't even USE that word in fact..they are jeans, or more correctly, BLUE jeans...
Australians...no hat with corks, but smiling with a pint in hand...
And the British...will be there, polite(?) try arrogant, drinking Pimms, and a brolly and pasty white skin.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Osman Yissah....You are a bit correct but not really on the American men.
ANY person can be imposing in a bad way, not just Americans...American men are very self assured and if that's called imposing, then so be it. Most do not do it in an arrogant way, just differently than over here. The firm handshake is part of our culture, a sign of respect. If you give a limp handshake, that infers to us that you are wishywashy in your attitude or opinions. Our accent are due to the huge area that America covers...its like the different accents even within the Middle East...someone opens their mouth and you know exactly where they are from. As far as liking things big...can't stereotype on that one as our people have cars of all sizes and performance.
As far as cars...Our cars are getting more and more economical due to the impact upon the environment. That's why we have created hybrid cars.
Now..that being said..I don't fit your stereotypical American...I drive a BMW Z4 here in Texas, but a FJ in Doha...so does that make me a halfbreed???
Can you find any other comparisons than that?

How could you tell the difference in a group of good looking Asian Ladies, which is the ugly, Asian woman?
I'm baffled with this one. :&
Dracula drinks Bacardi rum on the rocks.
You right there! hehehee and pinoy likes Honda cars so much.
:D
really quite clever! It makes sense that a Nation's car manufacturer would build cars to suit their particular Nation's requirements/likes.
Although if we are judging people's characteristics by their CHOICE of car then I think that's a different matter. In that case then I'm not sure that I would qualify as a typical arrogant Brit.
Well, OK, I admit to owning an Austin Healey Sprite in my late teens, which is probably a BIT of an arrogant Brit's car. Ooops, and I forgot about the MGB GT in my mid-twenties (I seem to be proving Osman's point here!) :D
But latterly I have bought a Fiat X19 and an old (1983) BMW 525. Mind you ... it was my husband who suggested those to me, having seen them in a showroom. hmmmm
I think I just talked myself into being a stereotypical British snob! Aaaargh hahahaha
Good one Osman...abt the cars:)
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
@apple...let me guess...a Pinoy's?
a car with pillows and stuff toys, taken cared like a baby, which nationality is that? :P:P:p
How come you mention cars when we're talking about how we can distiguish other nationalities either by look s or their accents?
he got blisters and had to take the shoes off to walk home lol
sometimes there's a right moment for socks! (new shoes)
you missed out the Brits NEVER wear socks with sandals ;o)
Got me thinking though ... hmm what is a distinctive, day to day, normal, dress of various nationalities (apart from the obvious thobe and ghutra thing)
Socks with sandals? I shudder to think!
Mandi
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
Feet, that's how I can tell nationality. I can immediately ascertain if someone is American (or not) by his shoes. American men NEVER wear pointy toes - especially in sneakers - suede or sandals. Also, American men NEVER hem their jeans or wear dark socks with white tennis shoes.
Mandi
You're lucky, squire - You mentioned the beer, but I think you got away with it!
I agree about body language.. Aussies are usually found with a glass in their hand or in a horizontal position..
honestly I wouldn't have! I guess I'm not good on recognising differences in even ONE country's type.
Lots of countries have people, within their borders, of differing bone structure, hair colouring etc. I wouldn't know my Black Forest from a Munich Beerfest from a Heidi on a Swiss Mountain! ;o)
I couldn't distinguish Japanese from the Chinese before. And one time I asked a girl if she's Chinese. She growled and said "Shame on you! I'm a Japanese!". But I have no idea why she have to be that rude. ;o)
cheers,
paul
I can tell a Japanese from Chinese, but nationalities in between get a bit fuzzy to me :(
Well, OK - I think I can see which people aren't totally Japanese or Chinese, but Thai and Malaysian and Indonesian ...
I'll check it out next time I'm in Doha shopping and see if I CAN tell who is what nationality :D
If an American, Canadian, Ozzie, Brit or Western European didn't open their mouth to speak - could YOU tell who was from which country? (I'm talking about the ones who dress in a general sort of way i.e. not wearing 10 gallon hats in The Mall etc lol)
I'm not sure I could work THAT one out either!
well u can always tell by the way they talk...but come on.....u cant tell just by looking at em
This makes you a real 'body linguist!' If there is such a thing. :D
I must try to do the same ... but I have a long way to go :( I'll get there eventually, hopefully without upsetting a Mr Chang or a Mrs Singh along the way.
Like I am not particular with nationalities, really....lol
Well, I need to review my geography then...whehehehe
I think it is better you watch the clip NOW or it will be too late :)

I have the radio on, on laptop, at present and I think the puter may blow up if I push it into any more virtual memory! lol
hahahahahahah
are sarad and ksarat related?
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
I am willing to help you chop the salad vegs but am afraid to chop my fingers coz of your presence around.
btw. watch this commercial. alone. it is rated :D
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
Back to the sarad for runch on Fliday.
Solly about the joke :D
from a Greek, who also had a restaurant.
Every day they came out of their restaurants and glared at each other across the road.
"Flied Lice Velly Nice" (the Greek would yell at the Chinaman, taking the mickey out of the Chinaman's inability to pronounce the letter 'R' in the English language)
To cut the story short.
Chinese bloke got so fed up with this he went for 'spoken' English lessons..... Came back to his shop and there was the Greek again:
"Flied Lice Velly Nice" nah nah nee nah nah
To which the Chinaman replied, in a very Oxford accented English:
"As a matter of fact, fRied Rice is veRy nice .... You lotten Gleek Plick!"
keyboard is stained with beetroot!
Well, normally one would say: English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish (when referring to the contents of the Britain).
However, since Azi substituted the nationality 'British' for the missing 'Welsh' - I guess Wales went up in status :D
They wanted to, anyway! I thought my father's family were Welsh ... then someone did one of those Family Tree things. Mind you, had they gone back further than 1400 I may have been originally Welsh!
do you to say that the Welsh are implied within ".... English, British, Irish, Scottish..." ? :D
btw. I think I am bored
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
".... English, British, Irish, Scottish..."
gotta love it ... 'British' is now a euphemism for Welsh - where's tallg?????
hehehe Azi xxx
You have mentioned all British elements and derivatives but ignored the Welsh.
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
lmao
Oh and Azi? your comment about emulating? My sister told me I was associating with too many Americans because of something I said.
It was only later I realised that what I'd said I'd picked up from books I read! WTF!? hee hee
Could be films too, because I don't think Scarlett could act as prompt for a script of Resevoir Dogs (well she may be able to, but wouldn't in public lol)
you seem to be very bored ;P
===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409
actually, what you said is true...
How observant...hehehehe
comparing THAIs to Filipinos?
And everyone knows QUBE is where the Filipinos usually go because of the 2 (Filipino) bands playing there. So, your innuendoes will surely be about the filipinos.
Don't deny, coz it's to palpable to ignore...but then again, after this post/comment...I'll ignore you...
had the same experience too......i was in city centre, then a guy ask me if im a filipina, malaysian, indonesian or korean....geez...
ALL "porch monkeys" at Qube must be deported and replace with "porch cockroach" hehehee
believe.he.he.he. .you are one such great.. never mind. I dont want to waste my time on you.ciao.
LOL Brit!
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
I used to have a hard time distinguishing Americans from Australians or Canadians.
after working for multinational property management company for 4 years and almost 2 years in a call center...I can distinguish them by their accent.
And for almost 4 years of my stay here in Qatar, I can now tell if they're Australians, English, British, Irish, Scottish, Americans (and tell whether they're from the North or South) by their accents.
Funny thing is, I would sometimes find myself emulating their dictions/accents without me knowing it....csi
Great difference..
The Canadian will have a Maple Leaf badge stuck somewhere on his jacket - Eh!
The American will be wearing Jeans, dungaries or cowboy boots and probably have a ceeeeeegar.
The Australian will have a hat with corks hanging from it and a beer in his hand.
The Brit will be polite, drinking his Pimms with a brolly by his side..
jauntie i think they all look the same coz they were originally irish/scotish/english... i wonder what the difference between those are... look wise
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
the difference ..... How would I know? lol
Hey! Maybe there are Ozzie or Canadian Hos in the Qube who people think are Brits! YIKES
I've not been to the Qube in my 2 years here - MUST go before I leave, but perhaps I'll go disguised as an American - hee
timtan always finds a way to insult the Filipinos in any way he/she wants.I agree with you Azi.And they are not rumors,it is true thatthere are lots of them thais here being kept at the hotels and some other secret places for a right fee.
Ok seriously whats the difference between a brit, australian, canadian and american, i mean look wise- if u just look at them, i dont think i can make out until they start speaking... i'm talking abt the caucasian types.
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
QTEL hotline...180 or 111 from your mobile...
and you have to excuse timtam on this. His metaphoric skills needs some honing...with his IQ as well
I could tell here a group of Thai ladies (they're usually 4) with one PIMP (he speaks Arabic)who goes to QUBE and leaves the place with MEN in tow....
How I'm sure they're Thais? Coz I spoke to one of them and their ENGLISH diction/accent is horrible.
Sounds like someone who stands on the front door step making faces and throwing their feces at passers by. But timtan said they frequent the Qube, so now I'm confused.
just for once...whehehehe
I bet Timtan's a THAI! hehehe!
of some MBA (married but available) expats and I do heard of a rumour that some hotels do keep THAI ladies as their "SPECIAL HOTEL FEATURES" for tourists and travelling businessmen who pass by QATAR.
I know you seldom see Thai ladies around...I wonder why???
who befriends men and hustles money. And to think she works for one of the biggest companies here in Qatar...and you're right, she's very pretty.
But a HUSTLER IS A HUSTLER...like a HOE...lmao
Getting to know all about you

Getting to know you like meeee

Never arrive at a conclusion you're not certain of. Even if you'll carry a title as the most beautiful woman in the world, it's really useless if you're so ugly from within.
Remember, beauty can be measured not only by looks and brain. Everybody has the right to be beautiful, no exemption for that!
timtan.rofl.
...is that I learn more from jauntie than it was mine. LOL
She's right about the Occidental-Oriental thing, though.
"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
not sure how to respond to that until I've looked at pix of christina!
The orientals (Chinese) are in top of the food chain, they are always eating our left overs. They will mimic our technologies and industries, they will produce anything related to it, but it seems, their IQ stop being original when chairman Mao die.
They will bribe you for anything that will be of their own convenience after all.
After all the Japanese invaded them and they still did not learn anything from them except the revolution...

.you look like christina applegate....is she your older sister?

But for sure, it was always the joke when I was growing up (before travel was for everyone!) that 'us' occidentals couldn't tell the difference between a Chinaman or a Japanese.
So it was very good for me to realise it works both ways! AND amusing too!!!
I'm offended by Jauntie, by posting such degradation of my semi-spanish adoptive family. I'm still the tallest guy, fun-loving, hospitable, intelligent, patient and kindhearted.
Jauntie, Could you see my nose growing bigger and poking you?
LOL
