Love / Polish attitude towards sex [194]

April 21 is my next night to be my wonderous self of Double D

Very public spirited of you Pingwin. Well done. And it is great when you're sober and your friends are plastered.

News / GERMAN PSYCHOPATHS INSULTING POLISH PEOPLE [95]

It would have been much more effective to break him with well thought out responses backed by facts and watch him squirm.

IMHO, this tends not to work very quickly with people of his ilk. The quickest way to rid us of their inflammatory commnets would be to just ignore every comment until they get bored and go away. Rising to the bait just prolongs the problem.

Love / Why some of the polish girls look so cold but they are not? [16]

To repeat myself (not unknown) I think we smile to be polite in the UK whereas Polish people tend, in my limited experience, to smile when they are amused. They also tend to be a little more reserved and formal when first meeting someone. But when the smiles come they are warm and genuine. None of that 'have a nice day and give me a tip' smiling that you sometimes (and I repeat) sometimes get in the US for example.

Statstical note: The conclusions drawn are from a small sample and may not be statistically significant.

Life / Are there any Polish buddhists? [43]

although it's commonly seen as a religion, it actually isn't

You are of course absolutely correct. Sloppy language on my part.

Food / what is the best way to skin and cook a rabbit? [60]

Grizzly

mega roadkill. Likely to be more damage to the car than the bear:)

How long does it take the average family to eat a grizzly? Or do you throw a BBQ for all your friend?:)

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

That's so unfair...everybody here has kittens and smilies

You could always register as a user and then, as if by miracle, you would get smilies. Although I think you would still have to bring your own kitties.

Life / Garbage and Smoke Pollution in Poland [13]

Come to Britain where the air is clearer on Sundays...

But of course the clearer air allows you to actually see the piles of rubbish on the streets of our cities so it is a two edged sword really:)

Come to Britain but bring a bin liner with you.... Could catch on

But for the rest...we ARE better than everybody else...! :)

Tsk, Tsk. don't you ever learn. From insulting the Polish you now take on the whole world. Shades of 1939? Any minute now the plucky British will have a go and a little later the Americans will join in. You've lost. Surrender now and avoid the blood on the carpets.

UK, Ireland / Polish girls 'too pretty' for British schools [150]

People are taking this Polish girl thing too seriously now. Yes they are good looking but is it really worth all this?

As one of my sons told me just the other day , "The scrum around the Polish girls is getting heavy Dad, I've moved on. Estonian girls rock"

I really need to finish this essay "What sort of despotism democratic nations have to fear

OK no more food talk today Miranda.:)

Tough subject for the essay. Wish I could help but no way I'm afraid, unless of course plagiarism is allowable (which would be my route but one I'm sure you don't need to follow!)

Profiteroles with yummy chocolate sauce......:)

Oops there I go again.

You're right. Science has an answer for everything, no matter how irrational it may seem on the surface:)

How do you think we ended up with 6Billion people on the planet?

More importantly, how can we explain that 3.5 billion of them support Manchester United and claim to have been to Old Trafford/

One of my favourite rabbit recipes

Rabbit and Lemon Tagine

Recipe :
Peel and chop onions, crush garlic and chop herbs.
Melt butter in a large pan, brown meat.
Add onions once rabbit is golden.
Cook for a few more minutes, then remove liver from heat.
Add ginger, cumin, cinnamon, saffron and crushed garlic, then stir in 300ml stock.
Season.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation wouldn't you say? But, hey, why not? There is so much generalisation going on.:)
