Love / My Polish guy won't tell me his feelings about me - is it usual? [15]
Hi Ancilla - Sounds genuine then. Sometimes its hard for people to share their feelings, especially when there is a language barrier. Maybe by buying you a ring could be his way of demonstrating to you how he feels. Actions speaking louder than words - so to speak.

I am sure as some of you know today is a Public Holiday in Poland and also Cud na Wisdla - Battle of Warsaw 1920.
The Battle of Warsaw (sometimes referred to as the Miracle at the Vistula, Polish: Cud nad Wisłą) was the decisive battle of the Polish-Soviet War, which began soon after the end of World War I in 1918 and lasting until the Treaty of Riga (1921).

Love / The meaning of ring on Polish girl's middle finger? [25]
It may have been left to her ( bequeathed ) by a relative and is too big for her other fingers.

There is also a Journal of European Cancer Care.

News / Poland biggest problem [125]
It appears to me they are getting the grants etc but they need experienced business- minded folk to manage it. Why they can't "do an Ireland" and drop the base rate for business tax. If Ireland can do it on the edge of Europe surely Poland can do it, look at the logistics for distribution, networking etc - ideal !
Old-fashioned business laws that hinder development and promote bureaucracy.

Life / Polish people hate jeans? [56]
I bought a pair out of "New Look " in Gdansk- much cheapness - washed them once and they turned out a kind of marbled effect, unfortunately so did the rest of my wash.
Bought another pair out of the Big Star shop, been in the bottom of my wardrobe for over a year now, never worn them but I am thinking of painting my shed soon...............

I wouldn't underestimate the significance of this. Mother Russia is slowly taking control of the hydrocarbons across Europe. One of the main problems of hydrocarbon extraction is getting them to their destination. With this exploration the pipeline would not have to cross any political boundries.
desperate times...

I think all forces have Armed Response Vehicles available to call upon. Iam against guns but obviously there are exceptions.

The argument "for" the license is that you dont get any commercials, the BBC commission nature documentaries, drama and impartial news reporting.
It has been in the news itself lately for rigged phone in competitions and for making up statistics on its political programmes - bringing its integrity into question.
And they have crap sports coverage !!!

Darn right ! Even if you dont watch any BBC channels you have to pay. Just having a TV that is able to receive them is enough.
There are even detector vans that go round detecting whether you are watching TV - seriously !!!!
It's just wrong IMO.

I think it is around £118. If you have a T.V. you have one.
It funds the BBC.
Yes it is a bad joke.
