If in China ..

It seem that in Beijing you wade through gallons of goo, mucus und spittle und to curb the antisocial habit - they have introduced ...

the digital gobscamera - - which take night time shot of all Chinese gobbing it home after a night out as well...

Und if copped on camera - the gobber recieve heftiest fine und a mop to clear up his mess after him....

Now that ist way to deal with chavs... Ist probably only kind of scamera which do some something for Joe Public ... but ... how do they police? Ist policeman lurking on each corner.. How do you trace und fine them - und what if rain wash away the evidence - do they wipe up other people's gobbings?



So ... to the PH collective - forget the morals of the situation as "gobbing" ist .,. Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Can it work? What are pros und cons und would it work here -

Und there is ohter kind of "gobby antisocial behaviour" - bearing in mind I hear WPC fines young scrote £80 for sayin "eff all" to pal in ptivate conversation but in her earshot - which mean majority in land should be putting £50 notes in swear box...for each stubbing of toe on cracked pavement

Aha! That ist what that heist was about - the criminal needed all that loot pto pay off their "ef-g fines....

So - ist feasible or even possible in civilised but "free-ish" society to fine all gobs of each genre?

If you are fined for littering, there is no reason you shouldn't be fined for spitting as well.

Spitting is a disgusting habit, I'm all for people being fined by doing this in public

The asians have a particularly unpleasant habit of clearing their throats with the most hideous sound imaginable and flob a gobful anywhere they like. It's perfectly natural to them and I am surprised they feel they need to stop it. It's a sign of the cosmopolitan growth of Beijing perhaps?

Yep, finger over one nostril and a sharp blow, then the other, straight onto the floor.

Discusting, there is honestly no need for it. I've never had to do it so why others do is beyond me! Sometimes have done after a long run and I'm not in a public place, but just walking down the street!?

Lovely story from a Brit on an internal flight in China.....

He noticed the Chinese peeps were all carrying small flasks. During the flight, the guy next to him opened his flask, worked up a mighty gob, spat it in the flask and replaced the lid.

Then he realised that the whole plane was doing the same. And they kept repeating the exercise at regular intervals, shaking the flask each time they replaced the lid.

After a while, he was feeling a bit green and really wanted to get off...

Some time later, they all opened their flasks and.....

Drank the contents....!

That, apparently, finished him off.

Some local superstition, it seems....

I have had a cold for the past week or so and it eventually got to my lungs. On the cold walk to and from work I am unable to stop myself from coughing up nice yellow lumps of phlegm.

I spit it out.

Is that so wrong??
