Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]
I'm not sure about the exact terms on which people use the word obese, but I do know a Pole in Poland who is overweight and eats too much. I imagine it is something that is becoming more common.

I don't reckon he's English (in other words - I don't want him either).
If he is supposed to be studying and he's wasting his time saving Britain from the evil Johnny Foreigner, surely he is in some way, being a burden on society. The mere fact of having to pay for education doesn't take everything away from the fact there is still funding for education, tax relief for students, valuable oxygen is still being breathed.
Actually, forget that last one - some forms of pondlife are entirely anaerobic.
Some parents just don't seem to be able to control their children's temper tantrums. These tantrums will then continue later in life. Noimmigration must be at least 12 by now. I wonder if drugs might help.
Please, we dont know for certain he is Scottish

The Dublin water is different to thew London water - probably softer than the chalky London stuff. They brew Guinness in Nigeria as well I believe.
edit: More to the point, the Irish stouts that are famous around the world tend to be very smooth. There are others, including Black Boss from Poland that is heavy and rough enough to build roads out of.

Can't answer you there, but I just read on <sharp intake of breath> another website that amongst the traditional instrumentation of Polish folk music are such instruments as dulcimers and hurdy-gurdies. It's not every day you see examples of these. Or is it?
gadki.lublin.pl/pfm/artists/ensemble_polonais.html
Click on the artist profiles and I think there are a few MP3 files to listen to.
edit: Yes there are, but I think they want you to buy the CDs. I like the song on the page I've linked to above. Others may be in other styles, but I am yet to investigate further.
Perhaps a few searches on youtube might yield something.

I suppose if you wash it at too high a temperature, it might get a fluffy, linty texture which could possibly be shaved, but I wouldn't ever advise shaving your clothes, especially bikinis or other items of swimwear. They will rather quickly become threadbare.
1. In general, do most women use razor to shave their legs armpit or bikini or do they wax it?

I might have to look out for that. In pubs, if you're a beer drinker, it is always worth a peek in the behind-the-bar fridge just in case they have anything interesting amongst all the alcopops.
My local off-licence only has Tyskie.

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]
Two farmworkers were sitting having their lunch in a field of cows.
One says to the other "Do you know what time it is?"
So the other reaches forward to the cow innocently grazing in front of them and lifts its udder.
"Quarter past one."
Some time passes.
The first one asks again "Do you know what time it is?"
Again, the other one puts his hand under the cows udder and lifts it.
"Ten to two."
More time passes.
Again, "Do you know what time it is?"
The second farm worker lifts the cow's udder.
"Two o'clock."
"How can you tell, just by feeling that cow's udder?"
"If I lift that cow's udder, I can see the clock on the church over there."
Awaiting moderation.

As well as the obvious Jesus - fisher connection,
Jesus was (somewhere in the Bible) the alpha and the omega.
The fishy symbol is the alpha. I don't know about the omega. (But that doesn't look like a fish.)
Meat could not be eaten on many holy days, but fish was somehow exempt.
In mediaeval Europe, some people, especially the Basques did a rather good trade in salted Cod from the other side of the Atlantic, which they sold across Europe, but maybe Poland preferred to stick more to the freshwater stuff.

I don't think Poles are either concentrated enough or permenant enough here yet.

Perhaps you could plan to live in a Polish area in London....here in Chicago it's like "Little Warsaw" and Poles feel quite at home.
