UK, Ireland / The Poles are Coming documentary [38]


Not including the people who are in the country without permit and no one knows about them. That in my opinion is an even bigger issue considering they too have to/want to survive. Desperate time desperate measures ..............

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]

You have Queensday. How many days to celebrate your dutchness do you need?

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]

Fair enough I suppose.

I wonder when we germans can celebrate being german again without someone finding it disturbing

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]

Well yeah we do have a lot of Bank Holidays but none of them are to celebrate our germanness. I suppose we have the 3rd of October which is when were re-united but still it no were close to Queensday or St. Patricksday.

Or a Towelday in June or July considering that every other nation is accusing us of reserving the sunchairs with towels at 6am

Its for the bavarians to celebrate their weirdness..........

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]


Yeah it is I suppose but we germans like to interfere and make it about us :-)


Have to disagree. There is english, scottish and irish breakfast. In Northern Ireland they call it Ulster Fry I think. All seem to differ somehow. Never heard of a welsh breakfast but im sure they have something too

UK, Ireland / National Holiday To Celebrate Britishness Could Be On It's Way [83]

Can't beat an Ulster Fry at Europa Bus station before going home after a good night in Belfast

Remember going home the next day yes. Dont usually remember going home at night :-)

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

personally i think we should have gone past the point of blaming each each other for what happened 60 odd years ago.

On my last visit to warsaw a month ago i only met friendly people, had a great time in clubs and bars and noone seemed to have an issue with where I was from. I have also been to Poznan on numerous occasions and again was always welcomed.

I dont think it matters where someone is from. Its about opening up to other nationalities, cultures and languages. Someone asked me something at Warsaw Airport. Instead of telling him in a longwinded conversation that i dont speak polish a simple Nie rozumiem Polski (i hope that was right) did the job and he walked off smiling. It is about the effort to fit in.

Now having said that sometimes I can be very lazy too and can't be arsed making the effort. I guess we all have those moments every now and then

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

I also remember seeing pictures of dutch people applauding the german army when they marched in to holland.

Anyways for all you funny people who posted the David Hasselhoff and Modern Talking pictures. Here are three more things germany came up with:

Mercedes Benz
BMW
Porsche

Naw lets blame everyone else but us :-)

maybe we should have just kept you then hu? lol :)

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

Poles have been working in germany before the revolution as well. My dad used to travel regularly to Wroclaw as he had a manufacturing plant out there. I can't really think of any incidents that would make me think that polish - german relationship is not a peaceful one

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]


I don't even know what to answer to your question to be perfectly honest

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]


I have no idea why Wroclaw. I would assume though that it was more so due to its location or other benefits not because it used to be Breslau. My dad was actually born in France. Granddad went to what became east germany just after the war (why I have no idea but have been told he has been quite the socialist person) so there wasnt any connection between my dad and Wroclaws history

Life / Warsaw - most boring capital in Europe, after Brussels - comments? [78]


Bar Lemon - great place :-) ...... not sure what street that was in though

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]


Would you mind telling us why?

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

So you dont like germans because this german family helped Poles, then moved to Poland and your family visited them and they visited yours after they moved back to germany?

It makes perfect sense now that I come to think of it lol

Life / Warsaw - most boring capital in Europe, after Brussels - comments? [78]

That's the one lol

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]


I'd surrender my german passport to live in a country like this. Sausages every day , yum yum :-)

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

Last time I checked there wasnt such a thing as an East German citizen

UK, Ireland / Queue to leave broken Britain [59]

Well they haven't mentioned how many people actually return to the UK after a year of working abroad or travelling.

Life / Germans and Poles - Fiction or Myth? [127]

Wel I moved away from germany 8 years ago and havent paid much attention to politics (i know shame on me) but if you look at the proportions of unemployed people in the east compared to the west it is hardly surprising. The same problems exist in certain areas of poland (or any other country) where unemployment is high. Not that I condone racism in any way however we have to look at reasons why people vote extreme nationalist parties and solve the problems instead of pointing fingers at each other

UK, Ireland / Queue to leave broken Britain [59]

Well it must be considering that there so many more people wanting to travel the world comparing to a decade ago.

The sun really is a great piece of journalism

UK, Ireland / Queue to leave broken Britain [59]

And thats probably still the same reason why people want to travel and it is easier these days than it was 20 or 10 years ago hence more people travelling. The sun however doesnt appeal to me as a newspaper that would take that into consideration. Anything for a story hu?

Almost everyone of my friends whether their irish, scottish, english or german have returned to their home country after travelling
