I reckon I might get the 0.1% really annoying filter!

[rustigsmed]

that leaves 99.9% transmission of something other than really annoying! :rofl:

[MattT]

So many puns...so little time...

[pfitzgerald]

Are they an overseas company or based locally at Poowong?

Sorry I couldn't resist the temptation. ;-)

Ah, this made me really curious. And this is what I have found:
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=Bu4_AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA528&lpg=PA528&dq=poo+chinese+to+english&source=bl&ots=wmt9_L2Ifg&sig=8CmbtK5Q8ZrNHIQzC8lOaMxVRu4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=IDaJVP7iGoWc8QXwj4KIAg&ved=0CDIQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=poo%20chinese%20to%20english&f=false

So... Poo means "arrangements of the stars" or "the name of a particular star"? So when people don't know the real name they point at this star and just say "poo"...?

[Larryp]

I'm glad they're real and not shampoo

[rustigsmed]

haha very good, but how come you didn't look up 'real'?

[OzStarGazer]

Everybody seemed to be interested in the ethereal aspect of poo rather than reality... :)

[OzStarGazer]

Took this in Shanghai last year - I have absolutely NO idea what actually goes on inside!

[OzStarGazer]

Ah, well, some people only enter restaurants and cafes to go to the toilet. :)

[PostalRuhl]
