If someone comes on to accuse other people of anything they should let it be known who they are. It's all too easy to fire bullets when nobody knows who is saying it and there will be no comeback from what you say. That is the way of the weak.
I would suggest that "Derek" won't name the expat gossips this came from because "Derek" and the expat gossips are one and the same. Why else would he, with his evident thirst for knowledge on the subject, choose not to ask these gossiping expats, yet bring it here, to ask the wider audience of CBF?
To me, this topic covers everything that is superb, and everything that is vile about expat life. At one end we have people who see the need, but more importantly see a way to help. At the other end we find the plankton who probably did see the need, but ordered another Efes instead. Not satisfied with that, they peddle anything sordid to anyone that will listen. This is possibly because people generallyvadmire doers and pity gossips. I have long held the belief that there are two ways to try and equal those you are jealous of. The normal way is to try and make the effort required to be held in similar esteem.
Sadly the other way (far more popular in certain bars) is to stay where you are and try to bring the others down to somewhere near your low levelTrust me, lowlife "Derek", you'll never manage it. The normal people know exactly how much truth there is in your garbage - absolutely none.
I won't lock this topic, and I won't give up doing my research of data - because if I find out who you are, you won't need to put a name to your cowardly posts, I'll do that for you.
