Perhaps they think the shock of bumping over the obstacle will break the hot filament in the bulb.

Knowing some of the guys I don't think hot filament comes into the equation. I have been warned by her-in-doors not to ask but I might get a friend to ask for me.

Ok looking further outside the box. When you go over a speed bump it appears that your lights brighten so perhaps they think they are saving their battery. I look forward to the results of you enquiries.

Upward pointing headlight beams provide more warning of approach to anyone down the road up to something. Maybe part of training which some have remembered and followed.

Re: Oddities in the Philippines
Thought I had seen everything in the Philippines...well I have now!
Waltzed into my favourite restobar last night and sat at my table when I noticed a couple of tables away was a young kid sprawled on the table, naked waist down and legs akimbo. He had with him I believe were his parents and the restobar owner. The owner works for the city hall (as a side interest totes a concealed gun) . He is also the font of all knowledge on all medical matters . I watched out of curiosity...nay amazement when I saw him performing a circumcision. The operation took about 5 minutes without a whimper from the lad . However he couldn't put his shorts back on and was helped out of the restobar and walked in a somewhat ungainly manner wrapped in a sheet . I have to say it was an unedifying sight to see and I made a mental note to steer clear of what appears to be pork scratchings on display in the snack bar outside. |

Re: Oddities in the Philippines
The parents must have missed the cut off date for a free one!
And the surgeon....City Hall position, runs a Restobar, gives medical advice and offers at least one minor op. An all rounder... in more ways than one! |
Re: Oddities in the Philippines
Ok a bit of corporate stupidity. We are in tbe UK until next weekend and the wife's banking app has been locked so she needs to get a one time code to unlock it. Her smart doesn't work in the UK so no OTC. She uses my Globe phone to contact her bank but gets the wrong department but uses up my excess spending allowance. Globe turns off my phone. To pay Globe I need a one time code but my phone is off so can't pay them.

Re: Oddities in the Philippines
Why haven't they discovered easy-peel labels in the Philippines, are they more expensive or is the Philippines 30 years behind the rest of the world.

Re: Oddities in the Philippines
I don't know if 433 people winning the grand lottery jackpot could be classed as an oddity, but it does sound a bit, er, unusual.
