Where would my baked beans be without Tupperwear? - @Fred Speaking of baked beans, you have no idea how difficult it is to source these here in Phu Quoc. A small supermarket-ish shop stocks it in very limited amounts, and then it's gone for ~6 ... Read More

Tupperware - @Aidan in HCMCOi ! (Add a long string of extra exclamation marks to show my utter disdain for that post 馃ぃ)I like Tupperwear because it can be used in the microwave. Where would my baked beans be without Tupperwear? I'll tell ... Read More

It almost sounds like a Tupperware-esque pyramid marketing scheme. Who the hell buys this crap? - @Aidan in HCMCPeople who don't think.They are sold the ideal rather than a product and, if the saleman is slick enough, people believe them.The schemes ... Read More

Didn't read the other posts. I'm doing other stuff. - @fluffy2560 That's why you'll keep your ill informed opinions.I read everything, even if it's directly against what I believe to be true. That's the only way to get a grasp of what is really ... Read More

These are a big problem all over the world, and one that causes a lot of misery. I've been invited to join quite a few, but never taken up the kind offers.I know people who have, and all lost money.This is good news for Vietnam. Read More

If they don't like the EU, then they can have a referendum and if there's so much support for it, then Hungary can leave. It's possibly what OV wants. Then there will be no checks on his activities. - @fluffy2560 What, like the UK? until the Labour ... Read More

Yes, it's all the CIA's fault in Indonesia. Fine. But that's nothing to do with Hungary. If you'd like to read up on Hungarian social, political, economic conditions you will be qualified to post intelligently about it. Over here, DW is trusted ... Read More

Over here, DW is trusted for news and they are professional journalists. They do not publish unverified articles. It's always been a reliable independent source. It's government funded. It's like the BBC World Service. - @fluffy2560It's trusted ... Read More

Anti-NGO law: I only use the titles as used by the news organisations. We are talking about a NEW version which not yet enacted and has not been passed by the parliament. And of course, it matters to us because we live here. The EU will respond ... Read More

BTW, Fred, there's a protest in downtown Budapest this evening about 18.30h and you're invited to hear the popular view from people right there in the middle of it. Mrs Fluffy and one our Fluffyettes will be going. I won't be going because if I am ... Read More
