Some Irish drink a lot....but I don't.
Not for the want of trying though...more of a capacity problem that.
But yes lads, your women melt when we speak 😆
I work with Indians a lot. Not British Indians, Indian Indians. Very hard working chaps on the most part and most are extremely clever but the vast majority.... have no initiative (or desire to show initiative). There are exceptions to this and some will argue their case but even most of the senior guys will be hard pushed to take responsibility. This could be the culture they're told to adhere to when working for a british company but it's extremely frustrating when so many push the ownership back over to the brits. I notice they're quite happy to be in charge when they're dealing with Indians but the same guys still have problems forcing things across to Brits.
What about a bandana?
psycho 🙁

Theres quite a range of cultural observations i have had while working with indian (IT) teams. My most spectacular f-up was when my female project director was having some problems getting them to do, well anything really. After consulting my indian mate he pointed out that they would not take 'direction' from a woman like that. So we put a guy in to work with her and lo and behold it all went swimmingly although they did end up by devious means working to her. Just cultural differences really. They also say Yes to everything, even when it means No - nothing smutty here or spit roast stylee - just pure do you understand this Yes == No. Culturally they do not want to lose face. fair enough but quite hard to work with it all if you don't know it.
They complained about my accent as well - I'm scottish.
And Hora - I got "My name is Joe" out on DVD here in NZ. AND IT HAD SUBTITLES FFS. Honestly could not believe it. But after 10 mins it was quite funny what the subtitle said and what they were actually saying.
We simply can't discuss anything to do with race, so lets have a pop at Essex girls and boys. They're an easy target and we can't get acused of racism or being BNP supporters if we make fun of them at their expense 😆
