I’m not talking about monsoon weather.
I’m getting ticked off with the local habit of dredging up the contents of their lungs and hocking out a big blob of spit in the street. Men do it, women do it. Even little kids do it.
Didn’t I make myself clear in India? No sort of bodily fluid/solid should be disposed of in the street. I’ll allow gaseous emissions – so long as it is windy and they are silent, even if they are violent.
Hock, Greb, Blurgh… Do you mind? I’m trying to eat! I’m not accepting this as one of those local customs I should find endearing such as the Iranian need to shake hands for over extended periods. I’ve been to Hong Kong before and seen the “no spitting” signs which seemed to work. Kathmandu needs to knock a few up in one of it’s copy shops.
And another thing… If people have to, and I mean have to, spit in the street why can’t they get it over with in one smooth action? Is it really necessary to use the volley approach and do a disgusting 3 spit salute to some deity of phlegm.
Rant Over.
Maybe you may have unearthed a rich vein of footballing talent?
If it’s not the heat, it’s the loud horns! If it’s not the loud horns, it’s the poor people blighting your view! If it’s not the poor people, it’s the meat sweats! If it’s not the meat sweats, it’s the tent pegs! And now you’re crying about spittle!
You never heard me being so negative on my travels!

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Ha! You pair of amateurs make me want to puke!
If it’s not the heat, it’s the crap wi-fi! If it’s not the wi-fi, it’s the poor people blighting your view! If it’s not the poor people, it’s the meat sweats! If it’s not the meat sweats, it’s the tent pegs! Now you’re crying about spittle!
You never heard me complaining.

p.s. I always dressed smart.
I had a really funny Michael Palin and Chris Depledge vs Alan Whicker thing going on above, and I’m left with 2 very similar Alan Whicker comments, due to the internet and wordpress not being able to keep up with me! I apologise.
If you find a way of stopping it Chris can you share it with football and cricket players as they fo this without the need to live on telly in front of millions. Dirty, filthy mingers.
Sounds like you’re so angry you’re spitting feathers!
