   My "mates" didn't find me my consultancy work. It was at a request from   
   the Minister for Immigration that I took on the role.   
      
   My wife and I have no need to provide support to any of her overseas   
   family. They are, for the most part, quite well off and live in Phu My   
   Hung, District 7, HCMC.

   You quite obviously haven't been to Phu My Hung. I think that if you had   
   you might not make comments like that. I doubt I would be able to afford   
   a home in that suburb.   
      
   You are the one who brags about the two days a week.   
      
   Hardly bragging. It's something I do to keep my brain active. Obviously   
   retirement has caused yours to turn into something more resembling jelly   
   if your remarks here are anything to go by.

   I was commenting on your lack of journalistic skills, to whit, basic   
   spelling.

   And what poor investments they must be! Can you afford your internet   
   connection? It must really be straining your budget.
