    I would do but it's bit like Bombay/Mumbai to Russians I suppose, do it to annoy/get throat cut.

    I used to wind up the Sri Lankan lads at previous clientco by using the colonialist proper noun 'Ceylon'...

    As a regular visitor to Kyiv, I can tell you there are lot of anti Putin memorabilia available at the tourist markets.
    for example this toilet paper:



    the text on it says Putin D*ckhead, it became a popular song on Ukraine chanted at football matches etc after a Ukrianian cabinet minister called Putin exactly that.

    Your Russian friends should keep a low profile as they are not exactly popular anymore in Kyiv

    started a topic Dropped a Russian clanger....

    Dropped a Russian clanger....

    Off to Kiev for family meet up (not mine) folks going from Russia and us in UK meeting there. Neither Brits nor Russkies particularly welcome there at the moment but Brits marginally ahead on acceptability. Russians now have have international passports to travel there now....

    Russian arm asked me what I would like them to bring for the obligatory tulip-present exchanging and I jokingly said 'Putin's head on a plate', let's say not being a massive fan and thinking John the Baptist....

    No response for a while, then, 'ok......, can do, no problem' with a 'why does he want that?' type feeling...

    They've only got me a fuk'n commemorative plate with a picture of Putin on it.

    AtW, you want it?

Working...
