   !TIL that #paisley is called "Persian cucumbers" in #Russian, though my only source for this is @comraderacing....

     If I ask translate.google.com to Russianise "Persian cucumbers" and then put the result into images.google.com, I do indeed get paisleys....

     @nymnotinservice @pavelroskin Google stats say "персидские" vs "туркцкие" is a near tie, with "индийские" (indian) winning by a landslide.

     @ComradeRacing @pavelroskin We should all go out for #lunch some time. We can each wear a `cucumber' shirt of different nationality ☺

     @nymnotinservice @ComradeRacing I'll be happy to see both of you, with or without cucumbers :)
