We saw this pretty bizarre story put out by the dpa news agency yesterday. It’s a daft enough story in itself, but the name of the accused was particularly apposite:
A Hong Kong man was on trial for allegedly tricking a 20-year-old student into having sex with him by claiming he could rid her of evil spirits. Technician Lo Fuk-yee, 63, is accused of having sex with the student twice in her flat after convincing her that her period pains were ghost embryos.
It seems hard to imagine that any 20-year-old could be fooled by a story like that. You might think that it’s down to cultural differences and that some cultures are shy about explaining the facts of life to their adolescents. But this story from a few years back suggests that it’s something that British women may have to watch out for too: “Tricked into sex” by penis cream treatment
Dave left school at the age of 30 with the odd O-level (like Ancient Icelandic) and a doctorate in something so obscure even he can't remember what it's about. He then joined the FCO. Dave has travelled to most European countries (including several that don't exist any more, though he denies responsibility), as well as Bangladesh, Barbados, Thailand, St Vincent, UAE, Laos, and many more. Having managed to escape from London in 2001, Dave's now resorted to taking unpaid leave to stave off the evil day of his return.
