Will the Poles be out on St. Patricks day

only a couple of miliion that live here, lassy:)


to the parade and then watch em dye the river and drink Piwo

Its like a booze train hahahhahaha its fun!!!!!....ttly gotta go

St. Patrick's is a big day for me too.........It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good, I'll have another Guinness in your honour :)

he he of course Poles will be out. we know about st pat's day. the mentality of the irish and polish is similar too.

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. :)

I have to say again about my big sentiment to Ireland:) and I cannot forget about Bono!:) We love him and respect like he loves and respects us:) We know "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and history of that las well as "New year's Day" the song written for Poles.

was not written for Poles.

its based on a tragic event in Northern Ireland.

Though, nearly every society has a 'bloody sunday' (we have at least two!)

the new years day was written for the Poles though...

unday Bloody Sunday" is the opening track and third single from U2's 1983 album, War. The song is noted for its militaristic drumbeat, simple but harsh guitar, and melodic harmonies.[3] One of U2's most overtly-political songs, its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Tak, Prawda :) based on the Polish Solidarity movement

Like I said we know BOTH stories. Your from 1972, AND our 1981, ok?

SBS was written about the Northern Irish event only. One of U2's most overtly-political songs, its lyrics describe the horror felt by an observer of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

New years day was written originally as a love song for bono's wife but drew its inspirations to the Polish Solidarity movement.

PLEASE look here:) Not only for Irish and Poles :)

I'm fan of U2 MORE than 14 yrs, you do not to have to explain me:)

Mag - are you reading what i am typing

NEW YEARS IS FOR POLES TAK WIEM! :)

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY WAS WRITTEN FOR THE HORRORS IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Either way - U2 rock


I wouldn't be correcting you if i was not a lifelong fan myself :)

The albums, the Irish gigs, the website, the lot :)

have the t-shirt :)

that was only misunderstanding:) I was on the gig in Warsaw also:) If you will check link i've added you can see what was described on U2's official site. the title of the article was: All i want is...Chorzów!!!:)

Only in Poland! :)

*sigh* mag, ok, wiem

ale ALL i was saying is SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY was NOT based on a POLISH event.

New years day was not even based on it at first BUT a love song to his wife that became RESHAPED and INSPIRED by the POLISH SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT.

we both agree we love them to bits :)

just know it, like i said: misunderstanding. I'll be work harder with English language:) :) :)

im like you Mag, - i hate when ppl quote things wrong and when its U2 - dont get me started :)
They are Irish and they are legends!

But I thnk Bono is the BEST example of Irish/Polish Relations :) My gf loves them Too :)

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! :)

And my GF LOVES paddys day! (her bday is the day after too :) :) :) )

me too, my fault, because of language, not lack of knowledge about U2 and history of Emerald Ireland.


.
In the name of the father

Concert from rattle and hum is still actual, i mean what Bono said there.......

no more!!!!

thats always good to know another hardcore fan ***


oh, this could be controversial :)

I talk with people and read a lot, i'm sad gaelic start to dissaper, I felt anger when i was reading about 30 january '72.

I would like to post new thread, what Irish thinks about English now, and vice versa and what Poles feel about it. Who is closer to us? You or English? Something like that......

or an Irish group that are working now in this middle ground between traditional and contemporary music called Clannad. Clannad is Gaelic for family, and they've made some very powerful pieces of music. And love them also

Yeah, Are you guys getting along better?? seems to me you are
You should start a ttread......

Merged: Do Poles celebrate St. Patricks Day?

Huge parade in Chicago on Sunday... getting drunk on Saturday.

Wonder if they do this in Poland, Ireland is so close

I don't think there are any Irish communities in Poland like in the US. So, I'm guessing not probably noy. never know though...maybe some of the Irish living/schooling there celebrate with their PL friends. There are Irish pubs :)

I know i will be.. Not only St Patricks Day tomorrow with 3 live rugby games on, including Italy v IRELAND but on sunday i am going to another rugby game LONDON IRISH v WASPS, where there is a huge St Patricks Day party where about 24,000 people will attend...

Hence the reason i am having a quiet build up week... :)

Friday - Gold Cup Day @ Cheltenham (half of Ireland is there)
Saturday - St Patrick's Day and Irish relatives are back in my house
Sunday - a quiet day with the Alka Seltzer:)

Monday for me, Betty Ford Clinic !!!!

Might make a provisional booking myself:)

We'll meet up after for the "hair of the dog" :)
