Genealogy / I'm Polish and Russian but there's drama.... [14]

I'm Polish and Russian but there's drama....

...the drama is youre neither Polish nor Russian but American.

being serious whats the problem about sharing blood of these nations?

Russian is most definitely nothing to be ashamed of

After you said it 150 mln Russians felt relief. As a self-appointed spokespman of the russian nation i must say in return that being Scotsman is not the reason of any shame as well

Poland's unemployment rate ranges between 11-14%.

oh cmon seanus. youve got all the data above. its less than 8%. or maybe you make your own resarch and more reliable statistics.

keep in mind that before 1989 and right after the collapse of commie block PL was the poorest ex commie country. with lesser gdp than soviet reps such as ukraine, belarus or todays eu outsiders - romania ,bulgaria

History / Queen's Royal Hussars [4]

Every member of the Regiment (The Queen's Royal Hussars) wears the Maid of Warsaw, the crest of the City of Warsaw, on the left sleeve of his No. 2 (Service) Dress. This honour was awarded to the 7th Hussars by the Commander of the Second Polish Corps in recognition of their valour in support of the Polish Forces during the Italian Campaign in World War II. Traditionally the original crest presented to the Regiment is placed in front of the Commanding Officer on Dinner Nights.

UK, Ireland / English tossers give Brits a bad name in Poland [139]

Kraków is a pretty cultured place and they need to get with the vibe of the place.

but being honest with you they are just couple of dumb lads. and stupidity has no nationality. in 'pretty cultured place' as krakow youll meet many polish tossers likeem. its not about poles or angols or anyone else. its just mankind being stupid species. and people being out of the native country are more willing to do odd things.

I cant imagine a Polish jail being much fun, especially if you cant mowi po polsku

they could communicate with other prisoners using the universal language of love
