I have brought my cheap wares home from Bangkok for the children – a fake Chanel watch for my daughter that has already broken, a few pairs of Calvin Klein underpants that cost less than £2.00 each and a number of DVD’s. We have just started watching “Wolverine” to check out the quality….not bad….it is at least in English, but the sub-titles leave a little to be desired:-
“Take her down” was a request to the pilot of a plane – “clump donkey a spinning wheel” was the translation.
Close.
