I saw a brilliant one with a big red button and the words "FART BUTTON" next to it.

seems like the ads automatically know my ethnicity! (what a great skill!) I was in a thread in the sports section (the stadium) and it had something about Brick lane in the ad if you don't know what Brick lane is it's a street in London popular with the Asian community, well Bangladeshi... ha! so it doesn't know my ethnicity that well! silly silly internet! |

Bangladesh has the largest amount of urdu speakers after Pakistan and India (forth being Britain, everyone here speaks urdu in the pubs it the in thing to do!) although Urdu is not popular with them since Pakistan and Bangladesh had "beef" but some (old people) still have "beef" so you might get kicked in the knee if you do speak urdu, my mum informs me that we did infact go there and ate great good so maybe it could work but yeah most people won't understand your "excellent" (probably better than mine) urdu |

I bet it was do you know proper good urdu though? the posh poet type urdu with 1 million persian words? aha I don't think so! ok I don't either but still I can get buy, I can ask for a apple at a fruit stall in pakistan "app apple tho... thanks" I think in A-level (or whatever you did ) urdu you get told the standard words like App = you, aikh = 1, ullo ka patta = stupid, owls son (baby owls are known to be stupid .) I find what impresses people is if you say big words because you sound more eduacted and cool I wish people would be impressed when I talk urdu  instead they look down upon me, don't even get me started on Punjabi I don't even speak that. |
