Soooo.... we're going to get Cubans who jump ship when they come to NSW on their exchange program?

I think it is encouraging that the the Cuban embassy had funds for what appears to be 

 

 

 

Marquee 6ft Trestle Table

 

4.4 (55)

I/N: 0179437

$66

Actually, I think they spent the extra dollar and got the folding one from Officeworks. Must have asked everyone to chip in for the extra dollar.

You guys are hilarious!

Those bi-fold tables are quite handy to have about, however; I would never have thought what the table in the picture of the Cuban embassy was until you guys pointed it out! 😅

… Cuba today signed a memorandum of understanding to replace its failing memorandum of inadequacy regarding quality control with Officeworks. While Officeworks (in order to save its reputation) for quantity folding tables, has denied using Cuban doctors imported for the task, did supply a desk to show solidarity with the Cuban doctors. They were quoted as saying, unlike the Cuban government we don’t fold under a bit of pressure. And like the Cuban doctors, you can rent us out anywhere and we will hold you up! We can brigde the gap between our different economic paths as long as PO includes freight on board!

That being said it's kinda sad. Hilarious but sad...

You'd be surprised how many countries play baseball. Might wanna finally open up the World Series to more than just one country.
