Woke up, had a fag, slept again for about 30 minutes, then got up and had a fry up.
I sent Pa her money, and Western Union says it has been collected. I haven't heard from her since, I guess she hasn't been able to use the internet, or is taking care of her auntie.
Going to meet Harry at the Labour Club later and practice for our Christmas Eve karaoke show. We'll get free beer for doing the show, one of the perks of a professional singer.
I'm going to suggest that we put my Pa and his Mipoo in contact. They both have aunties with incurable illnesses, maybe they can comfort each other.

Dear Lake,
ReplyDeleteThe woman you are corresponding with is almost certainly a prostitute.
I recommend that you read "Hello, my big big honey", a collection of correspondence from prostitutes in Thailand to the men supporting them abroad. The letter from Pa, I'm sad to say, could have been on any one of those pages.
Don't send this woman more money.
I'm sure those agencies have some respectable women on their rosters. They will all be finance-minded (otherwise they would not sign up for such a service. period) but I'm sure you could find one who isn't as shameless as this one. There is bound to be at least one who would be grateful with what you are willing to offer.
Actually, the first one you dated in the documentary by Theroux was not so bad and seemed halfway decent. That she didn't want to marry you after one date is a promising sign.
Best of luck to you. Remember it's better to be alone by yourself than alone with somebody else, which is what you would be if you marry Pa.
Good luck. You seem like a good fellow.
DON'T SEND NAY MONEY LAKE... AS THEY WILL ONLY TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE AGAIN MY FRIEND.
ReplyDeleteTHEY ARE MOSTLY HOOKERS THERE.....
GET A GIRL FROM CHINA IS BETTER FOR YOU.
