I've a friend called Marakesh named after the Marakesh express song

Does she like riding?:pac:

My wee brother worked in Marrakesh for a while. He hated it. Fair enough it was Ramadan and he didn't know another non-Muslim in the place but he still hated it

My family is like the UN without even looking at my friends. My brother's (sadly now ex but still part of the family) girlfriend is Thai, my sister's boyfriend is English. I have a Dutch uncle. I have cousins who are all siblings from a family of 6 married to Dutch, German, Chinese, Canadian and one Irish. Last one isn't married yet but his girlfriend is Welsh.

Another cousin is married to a Turkish guy and yet another is married to a part Ugandan-Asian part Irish bloke.

I have ex boyfriends from Kosovo, Germany, Belgium, Trinidad and Puerto Rico. Friends with people from Barbados, France, Thailand (not including my bros ex), Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, Norway and of course England, Scotland, America and Canada.

Hate them all though coz am a racist.

Mine aren't exactly "diverse".
But some are well educated (gone to uni, I haven't gone) and others have never had a job.
Most are older than me.

But I've learned the hard way over the years about mixing the two. No. Never again! Doesn't end well!
Keep people from school/college with the people who they know, and don't mix them with the people I'm friends with outside of education.
I'm naturally two different people in those environments.
I'm more straight backed and quite at college, and more comfortable outside of that environment.

My friends here in Thailand are South African, English, Swiss, Malaysian, Spanish, Colombian and Ghanaian. So yeah, diverse enough.

One of my friends is a chair. One of them a celery stick.

I have a friend who used to nail bags of tadpoles to a spinning wheel and whirl them around and where ever they'd stop he'd shout TADPOLES!! TADPOLES IS THE WINNER.

Back then we all thought he was crazy, but we had a lot of growing up to do.
