Aga76 - | 35 28 Feb 2007 / #34he he of course Poles will be out. we know about st pat's day. the mentality of the irish and polish is similar too.
szarlotka 8 | 2,206 28 Feb 2007 / #35the mentality of the irish and polishThat 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. :)
Magdushya 3 | 104 28 Feb 2007 / #36I 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.
daffy 23 | 1,500 28 Feb 2007 / #37Sunday, Bloody Sundaywas 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!)
daffy 23 | 1,500 28 Feb 2007 / #39unday 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.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Bloody_Sunday_(song)the new years day was written for the Poles though...Tak, Prawda :) based on the Polish Solidarity movement
Magdushya 3 | 104 28 Feb 2007 / #40Like I said we know BOTH stories. Your from 1972, AND our 1981, ok?
daffy 23 | 1,500 28 Feb 2007 / #41Magdushyaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Bloody_Sunday_(song)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.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day_%28song%29

daffy 23 | 1,500 28 Feb 2007 / #45*sigh* mag, ok, wiemale 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 :)youtube.com/watch?v=JFM7Ty1EEvs

Magdushya 3 | 104 28 Feb 2007 / #50i hate when ppl quote things wrongme too, my fault, because of language, not lack of knowledge about U2 and history of Emerald Ireland.I'll be work harder with English language.In the name of the fatherConcert from rattle and hum is still actual, i mean what Bono said there.......no more!!!!
daffy 23 | 1,500 28 Feb 2007 / #51not lack of knowledge about U2thats always good to know another hardcore fan ***history of Emerald Irelandoh, this could be controversial :)
Magdushya 3 | 104 28 Feb 2007 / #52I 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
sledz 23 | 2,248 28 Feb 2007 / #53I 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 usYeah, Are you guys getting along better?? seems to me you areYou should start a ttread......
Goonie 8 | 242 14 Mar 2007 / #54Merged: 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
FISZ 24 | 2,116 15 Mar 2007 / #55I 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 :)

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... :)
