Why do we pronounce some foreign countries and cites as the locals do and others as the Anglicised version?
I think Mumbai was officially changed to Bombay then reverted about 30 years ago, but Beijing was never called Peking by the locals.

The French and Germans call us what they want and we call them what we want, however there are some countries who want everyone else to call them what they are in their own language.

Inconvenient yes but when you get commentators trying to wrap their tongues around an Uzbekistans strikers name whilst failing at De Bruyne then it is beyond the pale. :)
 
So ( dont you hate people who start a sentence with ' So ' ) 6 months ago I became the proud owner of a Mini Cooper S, a nippy little thing, bought as a replacement for an ageing Merc. It turned out to a totally unnecessarily complicated little annoyance. A leak in the boot, BMW/Mini must know about it as they put a grommit in there. Multi coloured Interior lights shine everywhere, all the time. It tells me, in a long drawn out text on the speedo, when it wants air in the tyres and will not agree that I've done it unless I take it for a drive and do stuff with it. It stops and starts under it's own freewill at some, not all, traffic lights. Apparantly I can alter it somehow but I'm not tech savvy and dont know a qualified 12 year old ....and now, since it's been designed by BMW, it has those windows that drop down half an inch when you go to open the door thus allowing the door to open. Except it wont if the windows are frozen up.....but that's OK because it has heated seats.

And every fucker thinks they can make a fortune if they chuck up a glamping pod on their land.
Overpriced shite.
Apologies to any dippers on this thread. This is what we mean by a glamping pod.

In contrast, don't have a go at the fuckers doing glamping pods.....
Have a go at the daft fucks who spend a fortune to be in a shed or under a bedsheet.
