Love / Why are Polish girls constantly ill? [166]

That could be true, Osiedla. I agreed with part of her post. The truth is, some have sth akin to men flu and some don't.

Hypochondriac knows no national boundaries.

Chupa Chups are a good warmup, was that what you had in mind, M-G? ;) ;)

That's one of the only times a Scotsman will fork out big money, to pay for top medicine to clear throat infections in their partner ;) ;) ;)

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

youtube.com/watch?v=x1oMKa-BSvU they have a superb national anthem too. I remember the Klitschko brothers singing it.

How about Cyrillic? My Polish friend read a receipt I got from Belgrade and he said that it was different from Russian Cyrillic. How about Ukrainian, how different is it?

Osiedla is a poster I find myself agreeing with almost always. However, I think Justy has a point here. There are those who are self piteous and whimper/whine. Guys should be manly and take it on the chin.

On the other hand, man flu is a bit extreme :)

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

The ones which conduct a highly broad sweep across the nation and that wasn't indicated in the poll. Also, many factors determine the vote. Not least, current interpersonal relations which can change with one bad move. Good feeling in Ukraine can also have a bearing. I'm just saying that we shouldn't place heavy reliance on one-off polls.

Just look at how Gallup and Mori polls were off when assessing the level of support for the Conservative party.

Slovaks are quite popular here, more so than Czechs. It's maybe because the Czechs have more clout than the Slovaks do. There is history between Poland and The Czech Republic. Polls are not always representative, sth we should bear in mind.

Closer relations with Ukraine are in the interests of Poland.

Life / How do Polish people view themselves? [92]

Scrappy, your problem is that you see Europe as homogeneous and you have a chip on your shoulder about it.

Some Polish ppl view themselves positively, others negatively.

Life / What Do Poles think of Finns? [50]

More than likely, she has a problem with herself and is venting. I bet she bases that opinion on knowing 2 roguish Finns.

Love / Girls in Poland so desperate for$ Poland has the greatest no of Prostitutes [135]

I just don't see this at all. In Scotland, there are 'known' places where prozzies hang out, the same as in other Asian countries I've been to. I can't say this about Poland. Some girls may like to experiment but there aren't so many ***** clubs. Anyway, they can earn a fair bit so if that's what they want....

I think it may have to do with negative energy amongst some. That is a sure way to get ill quickly. More positive vibes keep the doctor away, forget the apples ;)

News / BNP far right in Poland [116]

You are fighting a losing battle, Arien. My normal conclusion is to be happy with what I know (or the opinion I have formed) and let them be. Otherwise, there are brick walls everywhere.

I prefer not to labour the point as it doesn't serve many ends usefully.

Nordic would be Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It just depends who you ask if Finland is Scandinavian or not.

There's a certain element of self pity involved, sometimes a major element. On some occasions, it pays to get an L4 than work. Just like bribes, a large part of Polish society accepts that it exists and roll with it.

My wife forever has sth amiss.

Not at all, Seanny. There are many authorities that include Finland as part of Scandinavia. Go and check wikipedia. There's more than you may think.

Look, some see Finland as part of Western Europe. That has also been documented. It's further east than Poland.

What is the deciding factor then, Seanny? I don't think it's language, sorry. Look at Britain, for example. The Welsh and the Scots have Gaelic but England doesn't. We are still part of the same group though.

It depends according to who, Seanny. Some say Scandinavia is composed of 5 countries, inc Finland and Iceland. It's not really an accepted mistake that Finland isn't part of Scandinavia. There is much scope for debate.

Oops, I often make that mistake. There are only 4 Scandinavian countries, right? Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Ah well, Finns are hospitable people and have interesting laws.

Law / Marriage Procedure in Poland [56]

She changed the lines so I had to be extra focussed. She just sprung them on me but it was the woman that I had dealings with before in the other administrative office. She spoke slowly and broke up the vows into small parts so I was grateful.

My wife is very keen on the way they look :( :) Yes, it works both ways. I am glad that she took an interest in them as I like Scandinavians but I had to keep an eye on her ;0 ;)

I've never heard a Pole say a bad thing about a Finn.

Food / Is there any other Polish seafood exept herring and carp? [30]

All I meant was that carp is regarded as seafood in North America (yes, the US very much included) and not in Britain. Nothing more, nothing less.

My bad, Dice, they are from one of the Baltic countries. I'd place money on Lithuania.
