Thread: Bosco

I'm not certain this should go in this section, but none of the others seemed more fitting, so..

Does anybody know if I can buy Bosco Sportswear online anywhere? I've been to their website, and from what I can tell (my Russian, especially reading it is, in a word, horrendous) they just show what they have and you have to go to the store to buy it. I know sometimes you can buy things online through other venues, rather than directly from the store, so maybe something like that would be possible also?

Edited to add the link to their website: Bosco Sport

Any advice/help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I hope this is okay for my first post. I wasn't sure how to just "jump" into the conversation..

Why do I need a thick skin, exactly?

That's because of her personal experience. A random thing.

Should I be frightened?

No way! Usually, this is a very peaceful place. At least, it is for many months so far.

Erm, as for Bosco, the website doesn't tell about online seelings, so I don't know if it's going to send you a package tied up with a blue ribbon.

Guess I am out of luck, then. Unless I find it on ebay or something. Thanks for looking for me, though

You don't need a thick skin, just a relevent question/statement -- which this is. I'm afraid Rtyom's right though; unless you know someone in Turin or in Russia, then you're out of luck. My quick ebay search turned up nothing. That's still going to be your best bet though -- keep checking...

Just out of curiosity (and so I don't have to grow this supposed "thick skin").. What would be an irrelevant question/statement? Or should I refer to the post above/below mine about the trip to Russia (Which, incidently, your reply to made me chuckle. I love dry humor)?

I found one on ebay, but it was a men's large, which I am surely not.

Thanks for responding

Don't worry, Ellie, you are fine. Forget the skin! Trust me, the forum will let you know if you are making irrelevant questions or comments...

Keep your skin on! And don't forget to use sunscreen!

Keep it even slightly related to Russia/Russian/Slavic/Soviet stuff and make half-way intelligent posts, and the community as a whole will endear itself to you. Post crap advertising cellphones or *cough*b*tching about ex-lovers and how to mindf*ck them*cough* and watch the ridicule/smacktalk roll in. Oh, and we (and by we, I mean me and a few other anal types -- the clean types like Kalinka Vinnie and Lampada would never sink to our level ) love to trash the people who have found a "beautifulllll Rossian Grrl named Svetlana" who wants them to come to Moscow to marry her -- and who doesn't speak a word of English (or whatever that person's native language is) and has never met them before in "her" life.

I like the word "mindf*ck"
Unless I looked up it in my dict I had thought that it means "Мозго*б"

Boy, there's an understatement. And even if you delete the post within a couple of hours and apologize the forum will still generate 10 pages of excoriating commentary.

The answer to that question is that the number of times this has happened is the same as this one: "How many dollars does Bill Gates have?" If you answered 80 billion, then you've got a ballpark estimate...

What's the missing character in this word,мозго*б? You have the word "mindf*ck in your dictionary? And it means "to play mind games with/to jerk around."

This is all my dictionary says:

Unlike them we don't leap around or put on a big stage show to help create the mindf*ck — В отличие от них мы не прыгаем по сцене и не выделываемся для того, чтобы завести публику.

Yikes, wow. Well, good thing that wasn't my plan, then!

If you don't know the missing letter in мозго*б, your мат vocab needs serious expanding, mate.

Yes, yes it does, mate. I can't say as I'm proficent in мать. What does this mean: *б тв*ю мать, КВ?

(I was actually just writing that as a joke, but in doing so I realized what that missing letter was, so I suppose I should thank you. )
