History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]
I don`t want to buy Lvov. Why should I need an Ukrainian city? Because it had Polish origin, culture etc? That is the past which have already passed.....
If Poland and germany would have to pay for it, how much would those areas cost?

Jawohl, Herr Oberleutnant!
If you are too selective, one day you will wake up and see that all men in your age have been taken.
But if you take care of yourself and don`t look your age, you can still chase younger men.
So, nothing is really lost, after all. You needn`t despair.
To all, please keep to the original topic. Thank you,
Jawohl, Herr Oberleutnant!
they can't seem to understand why I am so selective.

Currently, 9.5%.
If you are lucky, you will find a decent position within a week.
If not, it may take 6 months or more.
Just a matter of luck.
Nobody is able to tell you your fortune.
You must check it out for yourself.
In 1994, I approached certain girl and she turned me down because she wasn`t free.
In 1995, I approached her again and she accepted me, because she was free. Now she is my wife.

News / Poles DO return to the UK [39]
Once, during a British week in Liedl, I bought a few things, among them:
1. Mint sauce (that disgusting green colour).
2. Vinegar crisps.
After a few weeks, I flung the sauce into the bin. Not only colour was disgusting but the taste too.
As for crisps, when I realised I wasn`t able to eat them myself, I fed them to my students so that they had a chance to taste British food and culture. They got really angry that I tried to poison them. :):):):)
But other things are OK. My dream is to taste haggis after reading so much about it in my English textbooks.
Face it, you love the food there ;)

Debts are not a problem.
The reason of Polish temporary work immigration in Britain that I personally know of are:
1. A specific desire to buy an apartment in Krakow.
2. A specific desire to buy/build/open a pub in the mountainous area of southern Poland.
3. A general desire to give up attempts of making ends meet in Poland.

Norman Davies once wrote:
"Poland and Ireland are the only two Catholic countries which thrive on a diet of potatoes and hard spirit."
I've often heard it said that the Poles and Irish are similar and I agree to an extent - I think the Irish are certainly more similar to the Polish than most other Europeans anyway.

History / No Nazi puppet regime in Poland? [45]
To the best of my knowledge, there wasn`t.
Hitler never thought of creating a Polish puppet regime.
If he had tried, there would have been volunteers from pre-war Polish fascist parties.
was there ever such an option?
