Hahahaha...they're pretty funny...



But I'd love to see what our signs in their language would read like to them...

Leopardsocks

par example...



"The original name for the butch SUV Brits know as the Shogun (everywhere else its called the Pajero) means wanker in Spanish, which – coincidentally – is what we'd call you if you bought one instead of a Land Rover Discovery. Buick's Lacrosse also suggests masturbation, this time in French, but we'd rather be known for that than the Spanish translation for Ford's combustible 1970s econo-car, the Pinto: 'small penis'."

I'm one of the guys the genuine freak wants you to ignore, refreshing to see everyone here isn't buying all of him.

Hello Fashionista was a nice day out here on the north Pacific, how was Calgary?

Straight into the racist stuff? Usually you're much more subtle.

Well, yes...your perplexed look is understandable.



Why is Oscar posting here? Is he bored there...or is he wishing to create mischief.



Of course, if he posts as a sane and rational human, he'd be welcomed anywhere. Particularly so if he posts his wonderful photography.



But he seems to want to snipe, and I cannot help but wonder to what end?

Scuse me?



WHAT racist stuff? No-one I know would accuse me of being a racist...

Hello Wambo, any long weekend with my family makes me happy.
