    Check out 1.33 for the pronunciation of Esophagus

    Anus 4.15

    The sad thing is KS2 kids are probably going to be seeing these in the next year or so...

    Mod note: As pointed out below - the whole thing is a student project run by and for Indian school kids, so this is not evidence of off-shoring beyond the borders of IT, but rather evidence of NLUK not exercising due diligence before betraying his prejudices.
    NLUK do you go to the same Klan meetings as Churchill?

    because we treated them with more respect than the Mughals or their own rulers?

    I love all the old classics - Ella Fitzgerald, Lady Day, Louis Armstrong. Anything from that era really.

    Perfect for when you're sat in front of a smokey log fire in a dully lit living room - you can almost imagine yourself in one of the venues in which they used to perform.

    And I think they would have the interests of the UK more at heart.

    I work in a team of 8 of which 6 come from India. One of the guys was telling me how he was in India speaking in Hindi to someone. The guy was ignoring him. So he switched to English(American?) and got what he wanted.

    Second post of the thread and it's a holier-than-thou panty-wetter already. A dreadfully butch one at that.

    "Start acting like one." So masterful.

    I really dislike witchfinders desperately trying to be offended but I guess we've all got our crosses to bear.

    Bob originally refers to cheap and poor quality labour imported to cut costs . The fact so many examples come from India is an observation many people make a result of the trend started by Blair and Mandelson in their relentless quest to reduce costs at any price.
    FTFY

    And a trend that has continued under our beloved Tories who can deflect the blame by saying 'it was that Cable wot did it'.
