Bit contextual, but this:



PS. OLX is like eBay in India, far less sophisticated version of it though.
Don't wanna sound like Dave Warner but if you post stuff like this on an english-language forum I think it's only fair to translate it for the rest of us.

Makes the mods' job easier too.

I would have translated if it was straightforward statement rather than contextual joke. Anyway, translation is:

Pakistan wont be able to do it [1]. Sell the fireworks on OLX [2]

[1] is funny because it is based on a dialogue from Indian film that became popular
[2] is funny because OLX has the punchline "OLX pe bech de" which means "sell it on OLX
Finally, the pic is funny because it is a still from an ad by star sports which trolls Pakistan for their winless record against India in world cups: http://youtu.be/Za4qBpSQb9A

Yeah, this. The rules are pretty clear that everything has to be in English. I realise this isn't always practical with memes and the like so as long as you provide a translation then it's fine.. but if you don't then I'll have to get the hammer out, and that sucks when it's innocent like I presume this is.

The reason it's a rule is because we don't have mods for every language. Someone could call a member an absolute ****ing **** in a post and we'd have no idea what it said. If I were Towns I'd just follow the rules to the letter and start giving out bans every time someone used a non-English word within taking context, history or intention into account at all.
