I just picked Tilly because it was the most desolate place with which I'm familiar in BFTD's 'hood. I have an auntie who lives there (referenced in the "My family and I in 2017." thread. She's 95 years old but I doubt she's ever eaten Chinese food in her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretentious is maybe the wrong word, but a phrase such as "here in Asia" I find a bit excessive, especialy since half of Asia won't have a clue what kimchi is!

Fair enough. I should have said "Japan" as pickling is pretty much the same in China, Korea & Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Fair enough. I should have said "Japan" as pickling is pretty much the same in China, Korea & Japan. Better to be a little more specific in future, considering Asia incorporates almost a third of the worlds land mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 People who post on, and spend inordinate amounts of time on LinkedIn when they're neither a recruiter, or looking for a job, are definitely ones for the watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ex-colleague used to get Linkedin confused with Facebook, and post pictures of her cat eating its breakfast and other such nonsense. Not so much One for the Watching, as One for the Binning.
