News / November 11 in Poland [15]

not to mention america has been independant from england for over two hundred years now and we still have an independance day. of course americans are also arrogant bastards so that would explain it

Not sure why you feel the need to call me names...I was making the point that the UK and the USA called it by the same name and then the USA decided to change the name...so please tell me what is your point about being independent....in a less frustrated way,

yeah but in england its called remeberence day and the minute of silence is for all the fallen soldiers niepodleglosci is a different thing altogether

Its called Armistice day...as far as Im aware...remberence day is the sunday following..Armistice Day....a day to lay reiths of poppys on memorials.....I have respect for my family that fell in both wars to partake every year...

I was in no way disrespecting Polish service men or being arrogant...and find your outburst a little OTT

So are you amercian???

as for independence day.....the americans were given that!

Wroclaw

sorry to go off topic, but I own you a beer in a couple of weeks time when im in Wroclaw, thanks for your objective view on the idiots posting....just shows northerners have more sence..

In the UK its called Armistice day, but it has a different name in the USA, and keeps a one minute silence at 11 minutes to the 11th hour...even in churches....my brother got married on the 11 Nov so services had to be from 12 onwards...its a very big thing in the UK and even the young (with respect) keep to the one minute silence....

Food / Christmas Dinner in Poland [33]

I was just wondering what xmas dinner was like in Poland in the UK it's usually eaten mid day and has a starter (usually soup or something light) then a full roast either with turkey (most popular) or Duck, then followed by Xmas pudding and then a slice of xmas cake (home made about two months before with lots of added brandy)

My family always ate late due to lots of family calling round all day.....during which lots of home made mice pies were eaten...

Also the turkey would be cooked with streaky bacon wrapped over it to keep it moist and juicy..usually this would be cooked on xmas eve so the only thing to prepare was the vegies..

And fresh mince pies cooked on xmas day...

UK, Ireland / BEWARE when coming over UK [363]

This is why imigrant workers with familyto suport in the homeland often have to houseshare and often share rooms.

It's only the case with a house share here I suppose, years ago I lived with my b/f at the time in the house (3 bedroomed flat) were two other couples...Its nothing new - it was like the Waltons of a night and sunday roast...lol its taken me years to stop making enough to feed an army!
