Well it's been a long and trying day so I will bid you all goodnight. At least I can sleep sound in the knowledge that I am genetically structured in such a way to keep up drinking with the Irish on St Patrick's Day. Dobranoc (spelling, jeez)

Don't know really but it is in the off topic lounge section :)
Thinking about it, it means you can work anywhere in the UK Or Eire and know that you are dealing with a genetically identical bunch of miscreants
What does it have to do with Poland?

UK, Ireland / Homesickness of a Polish immigrant from UK [10]
And one day you probably will. Most of us go back home eventually. Every time I worked away for long periods I got homesick. Then when I got home I got the wanderlust again.

Travel / Anyone been to Zakopane? [36]
I assume if you are interested in off-piste skiing (or boarding) you are a reasonable standard. Don't go to Zakopane because it is not that good and also I had problems being allowed off piste. Go to Zakopane for the apres ski and accept the limitations of the slopes by all means but if you want serious off piste then go somewhere like Chamonix/Argentiere or to the US/Canada. If Zakopane was in France you probably wouldn't think of going there. But because it's in Poland you should. (if you see what I mean). It is two years since I was last there mind you. Never saw many skidoos so don't know if it is available. I did see some cool parascending though
Is there any possibility for Off-Piste. How about Skidoo driven off piste skiing (don't know if thats even possible in the Alps but it must be cheaper than Heli-skiing).

That similarity was one of the first things that struck me when i went to Poland. If there was a World Cup for partying this would probably be the final. :)

St George is the patron Saint of England. But being a reserved lot the English never really celebrate St George's Day. Certainly no where near the way in which the Irish celebrate St Patrick's Day. There are a few small village type festivals on St George's Day. I bet if you had a poll in England as to the date of st George's Day 70-80% of people would get it wrong.

Very true, some people are intelligent, well informed, tolerant and compassionate whilst others are not. I leave you to decide which category I think you fall into. :)

I don't think peterweg is supporting the article, but pointing it out as another piece of scaremongering by sections of the British Press (note the Evening Standrd is I believe part of the group that also publishes the Daily Mail)

• Tap and Fawcet
• Grey and gray
Two nations divided by a common language
