Hey, I was reading through some old Time Magazines and came across this article:

quote:
FILTH-IEST
Carnegie's bar in Wanchai is Ground Zero for the explosion of FILTH (Failed In London, Try Hong Kong) that turned the territory into a '90s mecca for Eurotrash. Though historically Hong Kong did not discriminate against the untalented expat, new visa rules for Brits and the increasing skill of the homegrown work force have turned the tables. By day, expats are often relegated to delivering sandwiches or handing out leaflets on the street. By night you'll find them here dancing on the bar.




Do you guys think there's any truth left in this?

bit o codswollop!

I think people took the chance to do whatever they could in HKG (whether they were sandwich delivery boys/gals or skilled professionals)... I don't think it was a F I L T H situation - it was easy for UK ppt holders to work in HKG, and get a bit of overseas experience - - - - - or escape from the UK in general for a while)...

to be, or not to be, what was the question?

What difference does it make?

You used to speak the truth.

Do people still dance on the bar at Carnegies? Is Carnegies still even there?

I always thought the "joke" in this description was on Hong Kong

Its like a fat bird saying: "ha ha all you could cop off with was the fat bird" while some bloke is giving her a right good seeing too and then f**king off as soon as he's dropped his muck

yeah, yeah, yeah

I think it's pretty much water under "The Bridge" - forget Carnegies!

That was in 1997. Which place do you think is the current "Ground Zero for the explosion of FILTH (Failed In London, Try Hong Kong)"?

agree 100%. I bet a fair proportion of the City Of London would rather be working in the Asian markets over the next 5-10 years.
