News / NEW PATRIOT MISSILES FOR POLAND [178]

The Russian invasion isn't coming because of the decency of Putin. The Americans were in Georgia, though, training them up to antagonise.

Super interview, cheehaw. I wouldn't have censored that at all. He handed out choice words and some harsh rhetoric but many leaders do that when needed.

UK, Ireland / What is good about being in the UK? [140]

The ones from Faversham, Kent, are really top drawer. They go down a treat at Xmas with the whole shebang.

Well, kindly get off the thread and let others willingly contribute in a constructive fashion.

The main good thing about the UK is the choice of international brands. Streets ahead of Poland in this regard.

Ales are another good thing about the UK. Scotland has some good ones but the English perhaps have better ones.

Meaningless posts about crisps? Poles propose, we discuss. You just moan and that's not good.

So, the good things in the UK are?

I miss the range of chocolate available. Don't worry, Mods, I'll confine it to getting a reminder from others here.

The great bars I miss:

Twirl
Crunchie
Dairy Milk (maybe my favourite)
Yorkie
Cadbury's Caramel :) :)
Boost
Dime Bars
Fudge

Not all the best chocolate is in bar form either.

The blasts they would fire at you if riled.

Russia would overrun Poland without too much difficulty.

Language / So many words for "Kisses" in Polish? [13]

Buziaki generally.

Related:

what is the difference between Całuski and Buzi ? which is used in general sense meaning among friends and which is used between girl and boy dating each other ??

Well...
buzi - kiss
Daj mi buzi - Give me a kiss

Całuski - kisses
For example like in a phone conversation
No to do zobaczenia, całuski - Ok, see you, kisses (sending kisses)

Całuski i buziaki or buziaczki means the same ;-)

How is crisps off-topic? It's sth I really like about the UK. It's a general discussion on crisps and on a minor tangent at most. Shawny talked about diversity and different directions before and he was right.

So, please point me to where I went off-topic.

Not necessarily you Seanus but the topic is "What is good about being in the UK?". We understand about topics going in different directions but this is turning into one about crisps, not the original point of the thread. It's just heading off topic. Thanks.

'A couple of my Polish friends have said food' (PD, post 9)

'My friend said food was one of the good things in the UK' (PD, post 15)

It is about what Polish people think after all ;) ;)

Crisps are an institution in the UK. We have a major crisps culture and, for me, is a good thing about being in the UK. PD, no offence if it is you moderating, but absence makes the heart (taste buds, lol) grow fonder. There is a lot to discuss and other posters were keen too.

Don't laugh but people build careers around crisps, it's a big industry in the UK. I enjoyed good crisps and love talking about them.

There is no rule as to how long to stay on one topic. There IS a rule about religion not being part of it but there are numerous threads on it.

OK, let's say Scotland. For me:

1) Forest walks and the fresh air there

2) The range of international cuisine

3) Pub lunches

4) Cycling routes

5) The interesting range of accents

6) Golf

7) Watching local footie games

8) Some aspects of multiculturalism

Now you're talkin :) No, no S&V here, even though English week starts in LIDL's tomorrow. The Poles are not big on crisps.

I didn't mention Hula Hoops. They are close to the best.

The wasabi crisps from the internet cafe in Japan were the best :) Highly addictive!

Pringles are addictive too. Quavers, are they still on the go? What are those stick-like crisps called, S&V things? KP Sticks?

Monster Munch and Space Raiders :)

Handmade crisps tend to be crunchy and full-flavoured. Wotsits are nice too but Cheetos are very similar. I remember driving many people away with Scampi Lemon Nik Naks. That was back in school and you could smell me a mile off with those fingers.

Too many to list.

Golden Wonder's Worcestershire Sauce
Nik Naks (any flavour)
McCoys (any)
Brannigans (any)
Pork Crackles
Prawn Cocktail
S&V
KP Squares
Crispy Bacon
Kettle Chips too

I like virtually all kinds of crisps from home. I can't think of any that I dislike.

Crisps. I love the range of crisps that the UK has. Streets ahead of almost any other country in this regard.

Nope, I'm gonna get this back on tack. Poland is being treated like 'accept what he give you'. Another plus for the arms firms.

Right on cue, Pete, right on cue ;)

Two-faced? You mean that I can be an elastic thinker and not blindly defend one side like you? You talk like Pinching Pete :)

Sokrates, where did I say that law equals morality?
