[Closed] What have Indians done for us?

Shame the wonderful British Empire ****ed the place so much

Yeah too right. We'd be all right here too if it weren't for them Romans and Vikings and Normans.

Their fault we were crap in the world cup probably.

Britons were living in caves wearing fur pants before that lot came over and brought civilisation to these fair isles. Mind you, I haven't been to Lancashire recently, so this could still be the case.

It's too hot for fur pants in India.

It's too hot for pants in Bolton.

Bolton? Don't be silly.

It is however apparently too hot for pants in Primrose Hill, as I discovered on Tuesday afternoon. I'd imagine the young lady might be regretting that decision, considering the breeze at the top.

They've given us idyllic beaches & friendly people....

[b]Siddh?rtha Gautama- buddha <- Wrong information that. Buddha was not born in old or modern India. He was born in Nepal.[/b]

Not India. This is the place ... [url= http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhistworld/lumbini.htm ]Birthplace of Buddha[/url]

If I am not mistaken it was there that the marauding hordes of Alexander (the Macedonian) was defeated and taught a bloody lesson.

The British brought these to India :

Apparently it could be a little chilly up the Khyber Pass.

the only problem I have with any 'foriengers' is that the money they earn in this country, whether they be full time permanent resisdents of tihs country or short term contractor types ,goes out of the country to support family 'back home' rather than supporting the UK econonmy

So you don't buy anything which has been imported then colnagokid .......good for you.

Best change your username btw.......just in case people get the wrong idea.

Why do you have a problem with that? It's their money, surely it's up to them what they do with it. If they choose to help their less well-off families then isn't that a good thing? India was stripped of it's wealth by the British. Britain is a wealthy nation precisely because of it's empirical exploitation of subjugated lands and colonies. The people in those lands suffered because the resources that existed there were denied them, to make the colonial invaders wealthy. What money goes out of Britain in the way that you have such an issue with, is small change by comparison. Why do you think countries like India suffer such incredible poverty?

What goes around, comes around.

colnagkid,

You cannot blame them for sending money home because that's human nature. 😉

Elfinsafety: "What goes around, comes around."

Exactly. It's called karma.

...boardmankid - nah, sounds sh*t. Why should folk sending money home be problematic for you? I did it when I worked abroad for a spell, supporting your family is the right thing to do, surely? And by the way, that's not how you spell "foreigners".

Allright lads leave it off 😳

barnsleymitch : "... supporting your family is the right thing to do, surely ..."

It is a good deed especially supporting the old parents. 🙂

Karma? Hmm, there's an interesting concept. Wonder where that came from?

Barnsleymitch; Boardman bikes are made in the Far East, so they'd be no good. It'll have to be something like Bromptonkid.

Allright lads leave it off

D'you really think there's much chance of that on here? I've only been around a week, and even I know that you'll be shown no mercy. The internet is indeed a cruel and heartless place...

Chandraskhar limit

How about "orangekid" ? Sounds like the bastard lovechild of David Dickinson. Cheap as chips!

Elfinsafety : "Karma? Hmm, there's an interesting concept. Wonder where that came from?"

Both Buddhism & Hinduism have their ways of explaining the term.

🙂

Heh! There's an orange fake tan woman lives near me. Bit 'coarse' looking, if you know what I mean. Nice lady though.

Yes, I do want to. And maybe one day, I will....

Anyway, I will now attempt to answer the OP's original question "What have Indians done for us?"
Manjula at work makes me feel a bit funny when I look at her, and Mr Chaudrey in the newsagents scares me a bit when he tells me off for looking at the magazines for too long. I once spoke to Fred on the phone, and I quite enjoyed that, but other than these (admittedly paltry) examples, I have nothing to offer.

Manjula at work makes me feel a bit funny when I look at her

You diiirty goora! Cast your eyes away you filthy infidel!

'Fred'? Call centre bod? Amazing how so many of them have English sounding names! But maybe we've just nicked them and claimed them as our own?

😆

She once gave me some gulab jamun. I cant say I liked it very much, it was far too sweet and I'd have much preferred a bahji or something, but still, it was very kind of her.

Gulab Jamun??? Oh, I used to go mad for that as a kid! What a treat! She gives you that? You lucky, lucky bastard. And an ungrateful one.

I prefer a bit of Burfi now though. More delicate taste.

By Ganesh, I don't half fancy a samosa right now, I can tell you. And maybe a little prawn saag...

No no no! It's just too much. The first time I went to India, I bought a soft drink called (I think) 'Slice', and that was the same, too much sugar for me. The local kids went wild for it though, so it's probably just me. Anyway, I'm off to bed now, to dream of spending my money on non essential imported items. And touching Manjula where she wees! 😯

barnsleymitch : "The local kids went wild for it though, so it's probably just me."

Those kids were on sugar high!

For those who are interested in culture from the Indian subcontinent, this Sunday is the Croydon Asian Mela.

It used to be billed as the largest annual Asian festival in Britain, not sure if it still is - but it's huge, so it probably is.

This year will include :

[i][b]"Wall of death riders in one of the world’s most exciting live action shows! This unique show is an 18ft high cylindrical wall around which performers ride on vintage Indian motorcycles."[/b][/i] 😯

It's right on the tram line, so easy access from East Croydon station.

For those who are interested in culture from the Indian subcontinent, this Sunday is the Croydon Asian Mela.

We went to the Manchester Mela last week. Sadly the weather was very changeable.

They own ,
British Steel,

Land Rover,

Jaguar,

Typhoo tea,

Lots of so called care homes all run for a fat profit,

call centres that you cant undertand what they mean,

takeaways,

and probably lots more,

they invented kettle chips. They used to hunt and boil white yorkshire englishmen in great big kettles. But thought they were a bit bland. Obviously. So dried 'em out a bit and sliced 'em up nice. bit of salt, bit of foil, sell 'em back.

call centres that you cant undertand what they mean

I think a lot these call centres that you cant understand what they mean, are actually owned by foreign companies.

When I say "foreign companies" I'm talking about, like British companies - if you know what I mean.

But yeah, apart from that you're right - the Indians have done a lot for us.

Lol.... Our Ernest making sense again, bless 😆

They bought the Christy towels brand (who my wife was working for at the time), closed down all UK production, made all the staff redundant and moved production to India. Hurray for India! BThis was before reaising that they didn't actually make any of the predicted cost savings at all, but the quality had plummetted!

So.... Yes Call-me-Dave. Lets have closer links with India. More of this kind of thing please. Jesus christ! When are we ever going to learn in this country

the only problem I have with any 'foriengers' is that the money they earn in this country, whether they be full time permanent resisdents of tihs country or short term contractor types ,goes out of the country to support family 'back home' rather than supporting the UK econonmy

Or, for that matter, why you're not slating people like esselgruntfuttock for taking holidays abroad instead of in the UK, which is a much more significant cause of money leaving the UK economy to be spent abroad.

What have Indians done for us?

Given us hot casseroles that we mop up with slabs of bread?

(Like time immoral in pit villages, mill towns etc except replace the hot casserole with 'stew' and sliced bread)...

eh?

I wouldn't worry; I don't think even Hora knows what the hell he's on about. Bless him.

[b]'[i]Time Immoral[/i]'. [/b]

"the money they earn in this country ... goes out of the country "

Do you take foreign holidays or buy foreign made goods?

Hora is trying to say that Eastern Country's / cultures use unleavened bread to eat / pick up food rather then cutlery...
Try it, its delish.... 🙂

Try it, its delish....

Well I don't think I should........hora says that they do it pit villages and mill towns, and apparently it's immoral 😐

Back to OP ...

Give us more Indians? So would that be Indians/India before or after they split up. India before they split up was a big country.

😆

I think he meant immortal.
Think of the fun you'd have hypnotising nubile buxom hotties in to submission with your bloodshot eyes before tearing their neck out with your sharp pointy teeths.
