When we were both working in the Philippines - he was my next door neighbour. His Engleesh waz not zee best at zat point, but I was a sucker for the French accent and it all started there, 7 years ago

Ah, the Philippines.
When I went there to work I moved into a shared house with five lovely girls (all sisters). Eventually I just married the eldest.
A friend of mine went on holiday to Australia, and got a cheap flight that involved a change of 'planes in Manila (Philippines). Even that short visit was long enough for him to meet the woman he later married!0 -
