Study / Advice / Info on attending Jagiellonian Medical College [13]

Better avoid Eastern european universities.They are not highly reputated and is likely to be suspected of having bribed for the degree.

Not true, but if you wanted to reassure yourself maybe you could have a chat about carrying on your post grad training in the US now.

I would prefer to study in Germany

Let me guess where you studied...

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

that some 70% of your price is tax, tax and more tax.

No $h!t. Its nearer 80%.
Bad enough if you live in the city but if you live in the Highlands of Scotland and a round trip to the shops over 100 miles it aint funny.

Scotland is the biggest Oil producing country in EU but I have to listen to some w**ker in London ( over 600 miles away ) telling me I should use my car less because the city is getting jammed............. ( rant mode well and truly engaged )...**&**%%$$$****

Thanks Dice - I couldn't do the Math.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

id you know that USA has more oil then the Middle East

Mmmm - didnt know that. a few of the older wells are being opened up as the price increase makes extraction more viable. The North Sea is being reappraised similarly and its viability and longevity increased.

Unfortunately the only way is up for the price of Gas at the pump. Paying £1.10 a liter here now.
4.5 litres in a gallon
$2 in £1 gives you. . . . .. . . .

Not really pumping.
It's mostly oil sands.

Oil in sand aint a problem.

Life / Trance music (which i love!) seems pretty big in Poland??... [67]

Without him, who'd be the chief troll?

I dont care, someone not from Scotland. I was reading some posts about the way the forums were going, looks like another thread is getting clogged up and off topic ( yep, I am as guilty as anyone ) so, to get back on topic...

Armin Van Buuren

Would make it worth the effort going.

History / Polish Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War [140]

Generally most of mass media outlets and vast majority of mainstream have left-wing bias.

I would say the opposite is true ie Rupert Murdoch ( Fox, Sky )

outlaw Nazi symbolic in whole Europe

Interesting to see the socialist government of Spain removing Francos symbols and images.

Yes and you actually are aware what was characteristic and why?

A characteristic formed out of consistency in his approach to the villagers of Africa and villagers in Basque country.

This was German territory before the war.

And for the greater part of WW2 also. Doesn't excuse that Francos Spanish fascists fought for Hitler in Pomorskie/Pomerania or Gdansk/Free city of Danzig - whichever you prefer ;-)

stripped them Spanish citizenship.

LOL - what does that mean. They were acepted willingly when they returned. Many German fascists found a safe haven in Spain aftrer the collapse of Berlin.

I would be interested whether you think Hitler would have invaded Poland if Franco had been defeated.

History / Polish Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War [140]

What this has to do with civil war or his dictatorship?

He was second in command of the Spanish Foreign Legion which committed atrocities in Africa. Vis a vis the atrocities he committed later in Spain were characteristic of him.

him.

What do you mean in particular?

Hitlers airlift of the Spanish African Army without which Franco would have been snuffed out.

Any details?

Spain still had an Empire which the Nationalists wanted to retain. Aspirations towards Africa etc.

franco didnt like hitler invading poland ,because poland was and is a catholic country.

Rubbish, Franco supported Hitler with troops and the Spanish SS fought in Pomerania/Pomorskie. Franco helped Hitler in WW2

History / Polish Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War [140]

If you raise new argument then of course we can discuss.

Deise raises new topics and some which have only been touched on before.
How Franco conducted himself in Africa.
The invasion from Africa.
The role of the catholic church.
The Imperialists aspirations.

Etc Etc Etc

Melanin switch

Thanks Ranj, I was reading up in Wiki ( not the best ) on that. I am sure I had blue eyes up to the age of about 6, then they turned green.

UK, Ireland / When do flights from Aberdeen/Inverness to Poland begin? [6]

closed last month

My mistake - must havce been sooner. The Inverness report was compiled in Sept as a result of the survey.
It concluded that flights may be viable.
