A very distinguished academic. In (I remember him there) Leeds University, since 1968.
I wonder why the thread title hasn't been changed to something less offensive though.

I believe what I saw with my eyes and which was also pretty well covered by photo reportage. You've been caught out lying in this thread already, so yes - I will choose sensibly what to believe.

That tells us nothing. A bit like saying 'some think'. And since you tried to pretend that up to 100,000 attended that silly riot, and that it was 'nice' and 'not dangerous' despite all the injuries, ripped up paving slabs and burnt vehicles we can't really rely on your uncorroborated word, can we?
By a rapidly growing number of the youngs, of course.

I'd be careful describing the former Prime Minister as a 'Katyń conspirator', Polonius. Although he's apparently a forgiving person, his party's lawyers might not be.

The pharmaceutical industry certainly has the infrastructure to produce it here. During the trials there is almost always an international element, however if this works it could be a real moneyspinner, aside from the benefit to humanity.

Most places have a strict budget for such things. It's also not unusual for a country's fashion houses to give or lend their products to prominent people to wear on occasions that they'll be photographed.

Don't be silly. A dress allowance for wives of senior politicians is commonplace. In any case, if they had to pay themselves it would probably be tax deductible in a lot of jurisdictions anyway.

You don't know where your "bit of tax" goes. Maybe to fly SamCam's hairdresser abroad and put him/her up in 5 star hotels whether do official visits. A formal dress for the Polish PM's wife is cheap in comparison.

Plent of people living in or originally from countries with Monarchies would disagree with you. They are in fact very compatible - since the Divine Right of Kings hypothesis is not universally held. The concept of Monarchy has evolved over the years (and was never absolute; there are majority Buddhist countries ruled by Monarchies - they dont have gods at all).

Btw, try Wikipedia on the particular religion you're looking for - it is a better source.

I use it all the time - unfortunately Star Alliance manage it badly. At least once a month I have to send the originals of my boarding pass in because they haven't credited one or more flights and nothing shows on their system when the incompetent in Frankfurt try to find a record of it. They are also very poor at responding to queries.

I've flown many, many times with LOT including transatlantic and had no problems. They are generally a good airline, though their frequent flyer scheme is problematic due to missing flights from the system.
