ramjet Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 So I'm watching a movie on Netflix with Liz. I'm not going to say the name of it. Just a movie. An Indian in a small town near Denver looks at an Indian scarf on an Indian mannequin, turns it over and reads the tag. 'Made in China.' Is it just me? 1 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 8, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I was going to ask, was this an American Indian looking at an American Indian scarf? Or an American Indian looking at an Indian scarf? An Indian looking at an American Indian Scarf. Or finally an Indian looking at an Indian scarf? It's a bit like people in the UK buying water shipped in wee bottles from say France. WTF? Or Chinese tourists in London buying a Union Flag, or I Love London, T-shirt that was made and printed in China. They could have saved a shit load of money and carbon by just staying at home, buying it there. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

Popular Post mik Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down... Ramjet: What one? Holden: What? Ramjet: What desert? Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical. Let’s say it’s beside a small town near Denver. Ramjet: But, how come I'd be there? Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see an Indian Scarf, Ramjet. It's lying on the ground... Ramjet: Indian Scarf? What's that? Holden: You know what a Bandana is? Ramjet: Of course! Holden: Same thing. Ramjet: I've never seen an Indian scarf. (pause) But I understand what you mean. Holden: You reach down and you flip the scarf over on its back, Ramjet. It says “Made In China”. Ramjet: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you? Holden: The Indian Scarf lays on its back, baking in the hot sun, beating its little “made in china” tag trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Ramjet: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING? Holden: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Ramjet? <long pause> Holden: They're just questions, Ramjet. In answer to your query they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. (pause) Shall we continue?

Just so long as it isn't a rugby fan from Exeter as that would be cultural misappropriation and would lead to complaints by a team from Coventry who were previously from Wycombe but insisted on having the word "London" in their team name the whole time that they played their home matches there. 1 Quote Blessed with the competence to be a slave to the incapable.

Gold FFM thebartman Posted November 9, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Having played many rounds of golf at the now-closed Magnolia Park Golf Club( located near the M40 at Bicester) with the Hotel's "Sales Manager", it turns out that loads of Chinese stay there, go to Bicester Village and buy loads of tat, a lot of which is made in China (or its questionable satellites). They remove all the packaging and dump it at the hotel prior to returning home with stuff they could buy from Alibaba but it's somehow cheaper in the UK !! ..... Of course - they're not overly worried about carbon footprints etc. etc. Please see other threads passim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
