During the 125cc race, the French idiot Zarco was going to win his first race but he sat up, lost speed and let his rival through! It's the 4th time this year he's lost at the finish!

He's an idiot, period. He could've got away but he kept looking back whenever he was ahead.

huh? go one-up? er don't they realise that h&m, zara, mango are actually low end stuff in europe etc. i mean i bought loads of h&m when i was studying coz i was on a budget. then again, my h&m spaghetti strap tops are pretty lasting... -
oh well ..... people don't realize that they sell stuff like levi jeans in walmart in north america. ...
but then again .... I was informed that walmart is actually an "upmarket" place to shop at in china ....

MNG too.. i saw them iin a small area in the OG in Madrid too.
-
then again, all the dkny, cK etc stuff were also strewn all over the place at the club21 bazaar sale 2 weeks ago. and i got more than a few of them for a steal e.g. 5 dkny for $30. no kidding
-
uhh.. clothes are clothes.. bags are bags...
whoever pays thousands of dollars for whatever need a reality check..

Anyway, the prices in these chains are badly marked-up over here. I wouldn't pay $50 for some of the T-shirts on their racks, and ordinary cotton shirts shouldn't cost $90.
-
know what's even more funny ? ....
I have it on good authority that many rich tai tais down south would commission grade A pirate goods modelled after the really expensive brands, like hermes or fendi ... instead of buying the real article ....
the finished product .... while costing less than a real fendi or hermes .... would still cost around an LV .... go figure ...
someone showed off a real hermes birkin and a "hermes" birkin side by side to me once .... frankly they have pretty similar stuff for 199 baht at chatuchat too ...

Oh yeah I saw the horrendous queues outside H&M over the weekend....
According to the papers, people had been lining up since the previous night.
Seriously, what's the deal with H&M? It's just another clothing retailer, no?

Money can't buy dress sense
I mean it's like the pic of some homeless guy in China who was lauded as a sharp dresser when he don't even know when his next meal is coming.

A Chinese national woman criticised Singaporean men as short on looks but says that she intends to marry a Singaporean.
According to a report in The New Paper, singer Zhang Miao Yu, who comes from Xi'an, China is here to look for a husband.
Zhang is 26 years old, 1.69m, has a boxomy figure and looks like Hong Kong star Sammi Cheng. She is confident with her looks and currently sings at the nightspot, Shanghai Dolly.
Zhang said that she hopes to develop her singing career in Singapore, and at the same time, find a husband.
"I have nothing to lose in coming here. I am young and I want to see where my singing can take me. But my ultimate goal is to find a good husband," she said.
While she hopes to marry a Singaporean, she also said that Singaporean men are arrogant and chauvinistic, short, and not as good looking as the men in China.
Singaporean women interviewed say that local men constitute a long term meal ticket for Chinese national women like Zhang.
Ms Huang Ting Ting, 38, said that Singaporean women have a life to pursue and "not just a husband". She feels that to women like Zhang, Singaporean men are their meal tickets.
Ms Huang added, "If Singaporean men, especially the married ones, are so easily charmed by the Chinese women, they certainly do not deserve to be with Singaporean women."
Ms May Yee (37, beautician) said that she expects divorce rates to rise with the influx of these Chinese women here looking for husbands.
Ms Jenevieve Lee (40, designer) said, "With more Chinese women coming here, there will surely be more social problems. We are already facing problems like a rise in divorce rates, young people not getting married and the married ones not having children. Shouldn't our government do something to control these social problems?"
She continued, "Singaporean women are already marrying later because they put more emphasis on their careers, the last thing we want is to fight with a Chinese woman over a husband. For me, I will just focus on my career."
