least she didnt say "ive got you one of them UBS Thingy Ma Bobbys"
least she knew what a flash drive was
I work in a bar/restaurant in a hotel
The other day there was only one person dining in at the time. The guy was originally put on table 52 but he wanted to move to table 53 (its a bigger table and he had some notes he wanted to go through). He check was still called 52 though. I did him his drink in the bar and sent a runner to deliver it to his table.This is the conversation between me and the runner :
Me : take this wine to the guy on 53
Runner : ok
10 minutes later (i checked the time on the till and the check) runner comes back with wine
Runner : there's no one on table 52
Me : I said take it to table 53
Runner : but the check says 52
Me : yeah but the guy moved from 52 to 53
Runner : but there is no one on 52
Me : I know because hes now on 53
Runner : but the check says 52
I took the wine off him and had to give it to the guest for free because he waited for so long
The scary thing is that the runner does this all the time when hes doing the running he doesn't use his bloody head. I'm glad most of the time he works on room service so I don't have to deal with him.

5.1 Million watched the big brother revival - gives quite a good quantitative measure of the scale of the moronic infestation. 5.1 Million utter deplorable, mindless drones who would be better of turned into dog food than left to waste resources on this planet.

Many moons ago was at a friend's house who was having a small party. A couple of the usual crowd were expected but missing so he decided to call one of them on their HOME phone to find out what was delaying them...
Mate: Hello Mrs X, can I speak to Y?
<Y comes to the phone>
Mate: How you doing buddy?
Y: I'm cool. Will be with you in 15 mins. Got caught up.
Mate: No probs. What kept you?
Y: Mum's got me doing some things.
Mate: Oh right, so where are you?
Y: At home.
<Cue laughter>
It had to be pointed out to him that people were laughing at him because he called the guy on his HOME phone number and asked where he was. The guy picked up the nickname 'Dave' after that in recognition of his 'Trigger' moment.

ToucheHow right you are indeed. I guess we are all guilty of generalizing and stereotyping. I just came back from visiting my family in rural Canada and was made acutely aware of how some ways of thinking die hard.
Generally that's what I would just call bad education and older generation influencing younger generations with terming and stereotypes.
Also yeah I cant believe 5.1 million people watched BB on Five, I kind of hoped that kind of trash TV had been phased out... oh wait we still have Jeremy Kyle. Moving on nothing to see
What, the, hell?
Pakistanis are not, even remotely, Arabs. Arabs are from North Africa and the middle east, excluding Iran - whose inhabitants are predominantly Persian.
"I don't care if it's not accurate"? slightly daft statement perhaps?
This is true when using baking sheets if you put a layer on a baking sheet when making cookies for example then the shiny side will reflect heat and aid in even cooking. (The benefits of this are negated in fan assisted ovens because they distribute the heat way more effectively)
Food actually wrapped in it or a totally covered pan such as a turkey it will make no difference whatsoever as the closed nature of the cooking holds in the heat not the reflective surface.
Well that essex girls speaks out of her ***.
If you noticed a lack of a capitalized "e" that was intended.
I watched a bit of that BB just to see why I should not watch it, it became evident why when that essex girl came on.
Coming from an Asian perspective
China/Japan/Korea/Vietnam = Asian
India = Indian
Middle East/Pakistan = Arab/Middle Eastern
Not that hard?
Oriental = Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.
Asian = Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bangladeshi etc
Middle Eastern = Iraqi, Iranian, Israeli, Saudi Arabian etc
the tinfoil maker said it's just a side effect from manufacturing and has no effect what so ever

To break my already given explanation down to more simpler terms, if they look like Jackie Chan then they are Asian. If they look like Mr. Internet Providings then they are Arab. That's how I go about it. I've already said why I find the use of the terms annoying.

Your asian and oriental separation seems weird to me as they both come under asian.

That doesn't excuse the fact you contributed to the count with your rubber necking and insatiable curiosity, which, as we all know, killed the cat.
Putting on channel 5 actually requires effort as it is a deviation from the norm. Probability that BB is going to be good, stimulating entertainment worth of my affections? ZERO. What is with this new generation that needs to see for its own eyes that road kill is, in fact, quite dead, and furthermore should be poked with a stick multiple times to ensure sufficient entertainment value. Even then, there is still the possibility of flinging the carcass on to somebodies porch to get perverse kicks out of the 'omg, wat teh hell is that!' and afterwards, probably, have sex with it.
Because a man drooling over some vaguely proportioned pasty that he will never impregnate to perpetuate his genes, and is likely a transvestite for the 'omg i actually fancied her, him, it, for a bit 'Oh you got me *slaps thigh*' isnt sufficiently within the definition of moronism? Turn off the TV, get a girlfriend, and maybe you can enjoy a whole women all to yourself, for a time.
