Filipina women living in the UK

Bet she would be able to sing along with many of their songs as they're on most karaoke machines.

Choi likes Humperdinck and Sinatra as well as a legacy from her parents, but also has a penchant for eighties pop music, like I do. We spend many a happy hour listening to Duran Duran, Abba, Wham and so forth.. The kids like some horrible modern stuff though. It doesn't sound so bad on a first listening after a few pints, but I tried listening to one of their tracks in the car.. and it just sounded.. well .. awful.

My dancing daughter loves this band: Get those hands IN THE AIR....
WHAT A BLAST AT 09:00

Im trying to introduce the missus to Floyd Dire Straights and U2 with a bit of Dian Krall slow progress though

Music is very much a part of our relationship. We both love it.

I like new pop music that she likes. She likes old rock and dance music from my past.

We enjoy it together and go to gigs from acts of all eras, from Beyonce and Katy Perry to Whitesnake and The Scorpions.

The band she most wants to see is my favourite band from my youth - Rush.

Our next lined up concert is Adam Lambert at Hammy Odeon and we're both getting into his latest album as a result.

No issues at all with us as far as music goes. It's our main hobby.

K is a film buff (no surprise - she worked in the movie business at home) and again I am seeing films that I would never have watched, and so is she. I'm actually staggered by how much she knows about film. She does have trouble with modern British romcoms, like my own favourite "Four Weddings and a Funeral", because the dialogue is hard to follow, and some of the humour, particularly the British self-deprecating stuff, is hard for her to understand.

The missus saw Kenny Rogers at Glasters in 2013 I the Stones lol

I'm not surprised that she hadn't heard of the band itself, but I would be surprised if she hadn't been familiar with some of their songs. They are not the most popular. But they are still often sung at videoke.

The band itself of course earned the severe disapproval of Imelda Marcos, and probably got something of the airbrush treatment.

But some of their songs are popular today. Most popular, by a mile, is Ob La Di Ob La Da. Every Filipino knows the song. It's right up their alley. It's cheerful, it promotes family values, and crucially, you can dance to it.

Let it Be is also popular. The Mother Mary references stirs their religious sensibilities.

I remember when I was younger, one of my mates was really into a band called Angelwitch.

He played them to his girlfriend, but she said she didn't really like them. So he chucked her!

We thought this was the coolest thing ever.

Later he came out of the closet as gay, so that was probably the real reason! Still, it was cool at the time.

We're both really into film too, but it's true what you say about dialog.

She loves violent stuff. Was really into Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, and we watched the entire set of episodes of both of them really quickly. She also loved the Godfather series, Goodfellas, Once Upon a Time in America.

So I thought she might enjoy Pulp Fiction, but she turned it off after a short while, complaining that it was just "Talking, talking, talking".

She tried it again a few years later, though, and enjoyed it.

We always watch with subtitles on.

My wife loves The Beatles. She thought they were American.

When she was at School she was a massive fan of Westlife! She thought they were American.

She also thought One Direction were American.

And Simon Cowell.

She's loved British culture for years. She just didn't know it until she came here!

I'm very into film and Choi is too. We have about three thousand movies that we working our way through.
Choi likes 'Notting hill' and 'four weddings' (what girl doesn't? ) - 'the notebook' is one of her favourites as well as 'the joy luck club', 'little miss sunshine' and 'the good, the bad, and the ugly' (believe it or not).
She didn't like 'The Limey' or 'The usual suspects' or 'eyes wide shut' too much though.

And yet you allow him to make very similar posts to those for which he was banned under two user names on LinC! It's not simply him promoting his misogynist and predatory lifestyle that I object to but his assertion that May to September relationships are as bad or worse that I find really unacceptable.

Even if you choose to ignore complaints by your European male members, I believe you will be mistaken if you think that Filipina members - and potential members - won't be put off joining and contributing posts. I have shown Whippy's posts to my wife and several of her twenty-something year-old female cousins. My wife is a member but tells me she won't be reading this site any more and none of her cousins would consider joining even if they were in a relationship with a foreigner. Whippy's chosen lifestyle and attitudes are exactly those that many, many Filipinas dislike in Filipinos and why many seek marriage with older, mature westerners - whom he insultingly and wrongly accuses of trafficking. Many of his ill-begotten views are opinions masquerading as facts and when challenged either ignores the challenge or obfuscates.

And it's not as if you weren't pre-warned.

And with that, goodbye.

Ive edited on my fone here so forgive if the formatting isnt correct.

He is responding to quotes/references about him and questions asked of him. If no quotes/references and questions are asked then there can't be any response. Aka, no fuel, no fire.

Again, see above. He didn't promote, his lifestyle was prompted and requested.

As you know the primary goal is to help, discuss and share. People come here for help and in turn some of those that get help then pass on their knowledge to newer members wanting help. We also have people who after years of securing their own visa stick around and tirelessly help newer members too. Its a nice community and all parties want to keep it that way.

Let Whipster hold his own rope he doesn't need others to hang him. He knows full well the consequences of openly advertising his lifestyle.

He does ignore, he's ignored me too. I can live with that.

It was passed on to all admin and thank you for that. You invested effort to let us know which suggests you also have an interest in the community for which you are a part of.

Forewarned is forearmed which allows any improper actions to be dealt with swiftly. We can't then just "out' the guy prior to him commiting any such act here at BF.

A very fair and balanced response, if I may say so sir.

I for one will miss your often hilarious posts Mark and will count the days till your return with keen anticipation 1

Mark will be back.
I wish I was a bookie at times

Mark, I do hope this will not be goodbye just yet.
You are certainly a valued member here IMO

Many here appreciate your input.
Please don't take the easy road......it doesn't fit your style.

I, for one, have only been on LinC a couple of times so I know nothing about those members' misdemeanours or indiscretions.
It is not much use bringing previous grievances over here from another forum.
We can all get disillusioned at times but leaving is a bit silly IMO.

I left here for a couple of months but just pressed the ignore button. Simples.

Perhaps this is what I have in store for me?
