Life / Baptisum of a Polish child - what is my role? [16]

None of my children are baptised. Some of my earliest and fondest memories involve my Godmother bringing me to buy presents on my birthday. Recently I have been thinking that I have denied this tradition to my children but then they will have their own memories.


The role is the same that's why it's called Catholic.

Iraq wasn't mentioned but this was

"The aim ......... is to balance their loyalty to the US on security, their correct relationship with Russia, and their commitment to a would-be common European foreign policy."

Travel / Driving from Faro, Portugal to Krakow, any advice? [21]

Three to four weeks is tons of time. I used to live in Cadiz and drove to Northern Europe many times. At this time of year the "N" roads are full of migrants trying to get back to work from Morocco etc and it makes the journey slow and frustrating.

Motorway driving is just that, you miss so much but it’s necessary. After Seville spend some time in Granada its worth it. Head to the coast via Lorca and Elche then Alicante,Valencia to Barcelona. I recommend taking the Motorway from Alicante to Barcelona. Eating in Spain is never a problem unless you are a veggie, they use Tuna like salt.

Barcelona is worth spending some time in.

In France along the coast to Nimes then up the Rhone Valley. Don’t be afraid of eating in the caravan things at the side of the road they are great.

Motorways are cheaper in France than Spain. The drivers are mad in France but not as bad as Italy. I would go this way to avoid the Alps but then I was in a VW Camper. Motorway up the Rhone as half of europe is going home in Motorhomes.

Strasbourg Across Germany, Czech Republic, Bob's your uncle.

That should take you about a week. I did Cadiz to Amsterdamage in four days in a 2CV all non motorway driving.

Driving is great I love it and am green with envy.

Travel / CentralWings - are there any positive views? [10]

Hi Calicoe
Try not to get too mixed up over your ancestry. My Mother was adopted and the search for her roots literally drove her mad. It’s always nice to know where you come from and have family stories retold. I had that on my dad’s side but my mother would always stiffen during the retellings.

I'm sure he was well paid.
Question? Would that make him a mercenary as opposed to a volunteer?
Remember I am asking this question as the Grandson of a Regular soldier who fought through the entirety of the Great War and who's Sons, my Father and uncles never got to lay flowers at the Cenotaph. The same people your father designated worthy of beating!

Flowrence King writes about the southern states of America from a roght of centre feminist point of view. She is extremrly funny I recomment her autobiography "Confessions of a failed southern lady".

Edit:Ops. paranoia..... read the book anyway

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

Ireland is just a small squabble more people were killed on the roads.

Poland will grow econimically and wont be "swamped" by foreigners including Canadinian-Ukranians (even though you were born there).

You had shifting borders and shifting people and look how peaceful it is.

Yeah I agree with Irish deano Its complicated (Said the Belfast man)

In 1985 Sinn Fein recognised the Dial (Southern Parliament) Since the Thirties The IRA have had a standing order prohibiting attacks on Free state forces, of course this didnt prevent the shooting of Garda Gerry McCabe.

The IRA continued to organise in all parts of the Island until very recently. The so called Celtic Tiger economy is largly tied up with Globilisation and would have happened irrespective of IRA activity.

When did England bottle it for Austria/Switzerland?


OK you said usually....I say 1974.

England is very good second tier European team who's always seeded that is why England qualify for tournaments.

Being someone’s number one rival should give you pride because rivalry signifies respect.
