I think it is mainly a north/south divide thing. North Indians tend to be paler, the incomers who pushed the darker Dravidians south. Even languages, the government chose a northern language Hindi to be the national language it still causes upset and many in south refuse to use it (it is not related to any of the southern languages).

They never get rid of the V for W, apparently if you don't hear the difference by 2 years old you never do. Like Chinese L and R.

probably better to go for brown speedos.

so are the buyers of bleaching creams: north indians who want to be whiter still or Southern Indians who want to look like North Indians ?

Cheers for the tip MH

I reckoned the luminous yellow jobs from Lanzarote were better because the bright colour drew the eyes from the huge brown beer gut. I think it was a tip from Trinny and Suzannah when I used to watch them purely because I have always had a thing for posh accents on birds

Could never decide whether it would be more fun to bang the fat one or the anorexic. In my dreams hey
I am sure they would have approved of the luminous yellow speedos all the same

I don't know, I don't actually know any one that uses them!!!

I am worried about you Bipat and am thinking you are a troll.
You dont see people shitting in the streets and you dont know anyone who uses bleaching creams in the biggest market for creams in the whole Vorld.

Are you sure you is married to a real Indian or did you get lied to and you just go on holiday to a nice hotel in Goa every now and again ?

I know people use bleaching creams, I have seen the adverts, I just don't know personally anyone that uses them. (Anyway would they tell ??).
Maybe I have sensible relatives?
With a billion people there is a big market for anything.

We do stay occasionally in a nice hotel in Goa. But live south of the border, in the old family home.

I still await your photos of shitting IN streets.

This sign is why it doesn't happen.

I will be sure to share my shitting with you however not back in the toilet for a month or so.

Constipation?

You know there is a cream for that! Everyone around me uses that and I know it is used by everyone...but no one I know uses it and I have no idea why everyone uses it. I blame the earlier government for allowing it to be used and this new government will totally abolish its use and what the hell do you know about India anyway...here take my opinion and shove it down your throat because I know everything and you don't know anything!!

Now replace 'uses it' by 'sh*ts in the streets* and you have the perfect algorithm!

Thread of the year so far.

BTW - On the whitening stuff - I saw it all over the place in Vietnam, Thailand etc. In fact, I needed more moisturiser (you don't stay this pretty without it) but the only ones available in a Vietnamese supermarket were whitening ones.

I've always assumed it's to do with showing wealth and status. If you're dark and tanned you have a shitty job picking tea leaves or raking the streets. If you're pale, you work inside in an office.

Not just Indians, but the Koreans on the golf course are mental. Huge visors, under-shirt long sleeves. I even saw one **** with a brolley that he used when he got out the buggy.

This is a question that has plagued the thinking man for a long time.



I think on this occasion, fried eggs - but only because she looks like my brother's wife.

Beggars can't be choosers buddy.

Do you not think that it looks transsexual - girly face on man's body? Do we need to worry about you MH?

Well, thankfully for all the ladies out there I'm not fickle when it comes to a bit of tickle.
