Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]
Exactly, Arien. She only has to last out for another year or so in all likelihood. This is how badly the law is framed, giving women entitlement to things they haven't worked for or deserve.
I said 'each to their own', shush, but it doesn't change the fact that she is more than likely a gold-digging sod!

Poland had to cope with German foot soldiers and, let's face it, Britain could hardly have put troops in place in time to help them. It just wasn't an option.
No worries, matey. I'm watching the whole series now.

Very true, Arien! The fact is that 2 madmen caused many deaths 70 years ago.

British RAF pilots really defied the odds and led Britain to a famous victory. Britain lasted about 6 years, others didn't even last 6 weeks ;) ;)
Seriously, the important thing is that the Allies won and America played a major part.

Each to their own, but yes, dziwka ;) ;) Future? Maybe 1 year according to life expectancy ;)
I'm sure she's 'banking' on that. Very similar to Anne Nicole Smith.

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]
I think we can blame the culture of the times tbh. Just look back at the international 'maneuvering' agreements of that epoch, they were classic chess playing moves and, with the benefit of hindsight, rather transparent and weak ones. Britain and France were to help Poland in the event of an attack but Churchill was such a bumptious git that valued only personal and imperial-type glory.
The even more disturbing thing is that, in retrospect, we have progressed little. International law is still laughable and, without teeth, could lead to catastrophic consequences for those who have no interest in its proper enforcement (those that should).
... jesteśmy z Wami. Let's look at successes and how the war was WON, not lost :) Hats tipped to the Polish pilots!

My American friend is really depressed there. He had lived in Poland for 6 years before going back. He wants to return here and he will in due course.

Evidence, Jed. Pieces of evidence would be one way to pluralise it.
Don't you find it strange that Putin would head-up the investigation?

It wouldn't be admissible as evidence in court as it's almost impossible to make anything out. Also, we can't see them at all.

And what do you hear in Russian in that video, Jed? Your views are much appreciated as you are Russian and can hear it more naturally than non-Russians. He doesn't say dawaj gnata, does he? It sounds more like ...America
What attention is that video getting in Russia? Nie ch*j jasebje, LOL

I don't think they were able to DNA check all the bodies, Jed. I heard that forensic sampling wasn't possible in all cases. Maybe you are right, though.

Polish prosecutors investigating the Moscow black boxes presidential TU -154 on Wednesday will be already in the country . A day later, the Attorney General intends to present the results of their work - learned tvn24.pl portal . - Reading and disclose the contents - provides in conversation with us Attorney General.
We should know more in the very near future but I don't trust those in charge of the decoding.
MW, not all, no, but they scoured the site and are checking them thoroughly. Zbigniew Rzepa, is it just coincidence that he is a neep/turnip? ;)

I think there is plenty doubt about it, Olga. I even disagree with the fanciful translations of that video. I don't hear dawaj gnata for a start. Let's assume that the plane came down as the official line said, why would they be waiting there with guns? Were bullet wounds found in any of the victims? I doubt it!
I do believe that it should be pursued but with corroboration being the necessary aim.

He will have received a good education in Katowice as they excel in Economics and Maths there. I know because I live about 20 mins by car from there and have discussed the city with many students.
The exotic flavour is another boon for Brits. My grandad, a truly great man if ever I knew one, took an interest in the staff in the hotel near him. One time there was an Estonian serving us and the other, a Polish girl. It provides contrast and I can fully understand as meeting foreigners has always been sth I have liked to do. The fact that I could speak Polish to her helped but she only wanted to speak English, so that was fine.
All it needs is a little pushing and ties can be forged.

There are many clubs that bring together people from our respective communities. It is worth remembering that ties go back a long way and have continued for good reason. Anyway, another salient point is that we both excel in science. Information sharing and working for the collective benefit of mankind is a noble pursuit when discussing this area. Let life not be a competition but a collaborative project.

That's true enough! Look, if the will and desire are there, Poles and Brits (esp Scots) get on really well. Humanity transcends nationality and striking a chord just needs the right conditions and drive.

Well, many Brits are lazy and unmotivated but it's all about opportunity. The problem is that many Brits see Poles are inferior and many Poles reckon they are the best at so many things. There is naturally going to be tension. Still, some can rise above that and make things work. It just needs some ego dropping.

There is great potential for parternship, if only the arrogance and stereotypes are dropped. Breaking the linguistic barrier helps too as it allows you to tap into their way of thinking. The problem is that idiots will always ruin things and turn it into a competition but common ground is there to be found.
