chuckwoww Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Sir Elton John branded photographers in Taiwan "rude, vile pigs" today in a furious airport bust-up. The star arrived in the country to play a concert, the last date in his tour of the Far East. Taiwanese news channel ETTV showed Sir Elton, dressed in a royal blue tracksuit and matching sunglasses, clenching his teeth and muttering expletives as he stood with his arms crossed tightly across his chest. "Rude, vile pigs!" he shouted. "Do you know what that means? Rude, vile pigs. That's what all of you are." http://www.thisislondon.com/showbiz/articles/13370466?source=TiL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Elton John has been a pretencious TWAT for Years now,but something puzzles me about the report. why is Taiwans Airport named after 'Chiang Kai-Shek'. i thought they wanted nothing to do with the Chinese?,so why is the Airport named after a Chinese Leader?.

gummigut Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 He's the guy who lost against the rising tide of the communists... Kind of amazing how far Taiwan has come given what it started with, but then again, the educated went to Taiwan. The families of any intellectuals that stayed behind were billed the cost of the bullet! <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 You obviously have never been to Taipei. That's where the Nationalist Army went after they lost to Mao. They took all the cultural treasures with them. Chiang's tomb is the central monument....bigger than Sun Yat Sen's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 We were at Phuket Fantasea big dining hall a while back and the non Thai asians there (Chinese, Taiwanese) were incredibly rude and selfish at the buffet bar, I was tempted to punch one of them square in the face but there were many of them so I thought best to put up with their pushing and barging. The Thais are and were then so much more charming than them, EJ may have a point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Chiang and his wife had good relations with Washington. They got plenty of help after the revolution. The Taiwanese are very industrious people. I always find them polite too...with me anyway more than with each other. But that is a very crowded island. Something of a pressure cooker.

Old Hippie Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hey, I miss my little Taiwanese sweetheart, she was o.k.! No SI Saket girl mind you, but she was o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Mine could be sweet too but I could never shake the idea that I was just part of her agenda. Or maybe I was just a selfish arsehole. Yes, now that I come to think of it, that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
