I rate the 3 Mangos/Phnom Penh Fish & Chips version. And they do a damned good curry sauce
You should try the Box Office Street 244. They are IMO the new best in town, British style big hunk of fish, thick crunchy batter and great value - $5 small (which is plenty) $8 large - you've got to be hungry.

Conor Gilligan, Concern for the impact on the children in the school has constrained me in the past and yet constrains me. For the record, I have been to the school twice since your group took over the project under false pretense in Dec. 2013. Once in June 2015 when I posted photos showing neglect at the school. This was greeted by a barrage of personal abuse and a fresh wave of utterly unfounded allegation. I again went to the school in Mar. of this year and posted photos, not simply of neglect but in one photo showed how stupidity was actually - and I am not being melodramatic - putting the lives of the teacher and his family at risk. Standard response; personal abuse and new allegations. That is my final say on the matter of the school.
At a personal level; stories about me having a 16 year old girlfriend were not only untrue, they were preposterous. That those who were responsible for publicly circulating this story - when shown conclusive evidence that the story was nonsense - had neither the courage nor the honour to make a public retraction, speaks only to their callous nature.
Anybody who would think that a set of books which mysteriously re-appear after two years and which nobody has any idea of who has had access to, would serve as evidence of financial wrong-doing needs to have their head examined.
Finally, accusation of drug use coming from a group, four of whom earned their living selling dangerous drugs, is a bit Oirish. Out. Jim Kelly

Stramash is obviously a person who is extremely well mis-informed; that or he's a member of the group and deliberately mis-informing; nothing new there then. The back story? Well, there's the group's back story - tho' probably more aptly described as the group's "back-up" story - and there's my back story. There are a number of reasons why I've never issued a comprehensive rebuttal of the whole range of wholly untrue allegations that this group have fabricated and circulated about me; some were indeed based on simple self-preservation but there are others which derived from my responsibility to the children of Romdual School. Had I been prepared to act as the group acted, had I been happy to completely disregard the impact on the kids, as the group did; Had I been willing - as the group clearly are -to callously set about destroying another's reputation (difference being I wouldn't need to lie) then I would have presented my story at a much earlier time.
There was never a doubt in my mind that while the group had skills in net-working, fund-raising and promoting the school, there was not one among them that had the experience, the understanding, the imagination, the ambition, the organisational skills, the theoretical back-up required to manage an education based project; not only did they know nothing of education or community development; they're not even interested in it. Ask any of that group when they last read about or listened to anything concerned with education. For fun, go on. Yet all of those skills and attributes I mentioned, backed up by forty five years of experience working on development issues, backed up by the experience and connections I'd made since starting the project, were, without a single thought for the impact on the kids, jettisoned when I was ousted. (the real "why'' of that, I'll deal with later)
Inevitably, they were going to turn a potential champion into a workhorse. I figured that that was better than nothing; I took the hit and left town.
I'm going to leave the story there for the time being but I do want to add a couple of lines of explanation.
Those following this thread will know that about a month back Conor Gilligan posted a notice on this and other sites (and The Phnom Penh Post Bejaysus) outlining a number of limits on my freedom of speech that I would have to accept if I wanted to avoid deportation. I could give up my home in a country I love to live in, a country in which I've lived very happily for 9 years or so and in which I intend to die, Give up living amongst a people whom I respect and appreciate (and who respect me), give up a cost of living I can afford, give up a climate that suits me perfectly, give up access to pleasures of the flesh OR give up commenting on a group of - let's face it - rather boring and insignificant people. Sheeit! that was a hard one.
So, if I agreed to shut up why haven't I? Well, I relinquished my right to comment, I did not relinquish my right to defend myself against attack. I looked again at Gilligan's notice - I invite you to do the same - and realised that the notice is itself an attack on my reputation. Think; Gilligan says that the purpose of posting the notice in a number of places (and the Phnom Penh Post, Bejaysus) was so that I couldn't say I didn't see it. Ask yourself, if you wanted to get a message to someone and you wanted to be sure that they got it, would you (a) go through all the hassle Gilligan went through (which actually provides no guarantee that it will be seen) or (b) open the FB page you know the person has and post the message?
Gilligan's stated reason for spreading that notice widely is a lie; simply another in a long list of lies that he obviously has no qualms about telling. The real down and dirty shit; the disgusting, obscene behaviour that this group is happy to engage in; only becomes clear when you ask, "what was the real purpose of that notice?" I'll be back

In a post I submitted yesterday, I showed that Conor Gilligan's stated purpose for the widespread posting of that notice was an absurd lie. Gilligan says that he posted it on a number of websites - and the Phnom Penh Post - so that he would know I had seen it and could not say I didn't. I invited you to ask the question, if you wanted to get a message to someone and be sure that they got it, would you (a) go through all the hassle Gilligan did? (which actually gives no guarantee that it will be seen) or (b) knowing full well that the person has a Facebook page, open the person's page and post the message? Combine the nonsense of the stated purpose with the innuendo contained in the notice and you'd have to conclude that the real purpose was a widespread assault on my reputation.
The notice is further evidence of Gilligan's inability to think more than one step ahead. If the threat of deportation was acted on, Gilligan would know that a heading "Irishman deported from Cambodia" would have Irish journos salivating. The first question will be "Why" and while Gilligan will feel invulnerable here in Cambodia, he would do well to remember that photographic evidence and copies of communications which I possess could have a major impact on parties based in Ireland.
To continue this conflict is to risk a negative impact on the children of Romdual; I have done and will do whatever is necessary to avoid that. My sole intention is to clear my name - not because of some abstract principle but because it prevents me from engaging in some other project - this can be done simply and without blame; my proposal to Mr. Gilligan is this; Friends of Romdual agree to post the following statement
on those platforms on which he posted the notice;
Friends of Romdual (FOR) wish to state;
1. At the meeting in Dec. 2013 at which this group demanded Mr. Kelly’s resignation, it was stated that FOR believed Mr. Kelly was no longer fit to lead the organisation. FOR presented 2 pieces of evidence to support their belief;
(a) while acknowledging that his intention was to shame two people who had stolen money from the school children; the group believed he had been over-zealous and had erred in judgement in publishing a photo of the school children towards
(b) he had further erred in judgement by posting a highly critical piece on Christian Evangelicals to the Friend’s website. FOr had been advised that this act would be detrimental to our potential to raise funds.
At no time in this meeting did the matter of finance arise.
2. FOR acknowledge that allegations that Mr. Kelly had a 16 year old girlfriend are completely false and disassociate themselves from any such allegation.
3. FOR acknowledge that Mr. Kelly was at no time Treasurer of this organisation. FOR confirm that at no time did they seek a meeting with Mr. Kelly to clarify group finances. Further, FOR acknowledge that they have no credible evidence to support allegations of financial wrongdoing.
4. FOR state categorically that at no time was there even a suggestion of inappropriate behavior in Mr. Kelly’s relationship with the staff and pupils at the school.
5. FOR acknowledge that the accusation that Mr. Kelly took a group of tourists to the school was based on entirely false information.
6. FOR acknowledge that Mr. Kelly’s withholding of repayment of a loan had no fraudulent intent. For acknowledge that the loan was repaid in full and that following the repayment FOR issued a statement to Mr. Kelly to the effect that the Committee now consider him straight with the school.
Do that please Mr. Gilligan and we can get on with our lives.
Mr. Gilligan is believed to be in the Sihanoukville area; should any who read this meet him, I'd be grateful if you brought this to his attention. Thank you. Jim Kelly
