GONG XI FA CHAI - HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

Is the year of the Ox an auspicious time to resume the battle of the bulge?

Hi R



The only thing I excercise these days is my prerogative.



Regarding Americans - I may be a bit tubby but at least my hips are in the same county.



I must admit that I do - from time to time - have the overwhelming urge to do some excercise - so I lay down till the feeiling passes.



Muscles come and go but flab lasts.



Right thats most of the fatty jokes out of the way - unles you can think of sonme more.



Best regards

Mike,



18 Stone - that’s 252 lbs to any American readers.

I know Hitman becomes the Fatman when not on training.



R. Catalan

Light-weight!!



Sorry Mike, but it wasn’t an invite, unless you’re offering your professional services? Go on guv., you’d like it in Dubai, all the sand you want.

Hi David



That is an invitation that I find strangely attractive - but how did you know that I top the scales at 18 stone.



Best regards

C’mere Fat Boy!!

Hi All



I heard one expat in Hong Kong say something like "Come here fat cow" which didn’t wok too well.



Best Regards

(Year of the Monkey)

I guess the difference here is

Cantonese & Mandarin?

My guess is that Gong xi fa chai is Mandarin?

No doubt our Chinese collegues can advise!

Kong Hei Fat Choy as I heard it.



Cheers..
