------------------------------------------------------------------------ You advice? Who needs the demned commodity? Whoever scribed this boorish, obscene, self-seeking comments on the obtaining realities of life of our Goans in Swindon, or for that matter anywhere they are endeavouring to better their lives, even if this creatures weird sick fantasies, hold any rapport with realities, displays a befouled, wrotten & cess-poolish mind. He/she has no historical ...none at all...notion, how, over the millenia, immigrating masses, seeking ammelioration in life, have had to bear in- human, -conceivable ordeals, and shouldering them with invincible courage and determination have overcome innumerable herculaen hurddles encountered and overcome them. Shame on you...nerd, if, indeed, you possess even infitessimal iota of sensitivity, you could do far worse than cover yourself with the matter you are so damnably contemptuous of, but which is as much a part of life as breathing air, drinking water and requiring food. For you, a sound bio-degradation may....albeit, most dubiously...do you a bit good, yet render you a deggree of salubrity. You have not an inkling of the nobble nature of Goan off-shore workers of yore: Our sailors -- 'shippies' -- always, exemplarilly maintained a formidable dignity and enviable solidarity among their vast fraternity... Each and all of them, could not land the few...rare plum jobs aboard, available to the ratings; many did the odd, but essential jobs, that had to be done. But, would any one ever disclose the nature of the job done by any of their confréres? Never, it was an absolute taboo, that if broken would be met by an ordeal tantamount to being tarred and feathered: Certainly, an unendurable ostracising the boor, aboard, not just the ship he was next appointed to, but all others as well. I know what I am talking about. I have known the fraternity extensively and intimately: through my innumerable school & college...etc., mates but also during my many, most lovingly remembered visits, during the last 40+ years aboard Canbera, Oriana, Himalaya & many others...when the several hundred Goan members of the respective tripulation lavished me with love, home-food, torrents of booze...an unforgettable & ever enduring friendship Alfred de Tavares, Stockholm, Sweden.
