read and learn. I don't think you have quite grasped the essence of the concept.

NI is not part of GB, delph. It's part of the UK, though.

Food / Swiss Cheese in Poland [14]

Masdamer from Mlekovita should do the trick.

Love / Do Polish women fight about everything? [39]

It's winter, southern, so the only thing that will be hot is their tempers after you fray them ;) ;)

Food / Swiss Cheese in Poland [14]

Try Masdamer. It's originally from Holland and is called Maasdammer there. It occupies almost 1/5 of their domestic production. Good choice of cheese :)

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

What garbage? If you think tripe is exclusively Polish then you are wrong.

Do you come to Poland with your claws, southern? You know, just to play the game :)

Love / Do Polish women fight about everything? [39]

Yeah, I like the way some are dressed too :) :)

As for the thread, a certain type of Polki fights. Just like any other country in that respect. All of my male private students are calm characters but feel provoked into pittin their dooks up on occasion. Just don't take the bait or you are in for a long slugfest :( :(

Love / Do Polish women fight about everything? [39]

In a sense, yes. Jostling for control and who goes where, what should be bought and what shouldn't. I get fed up of hearing 'chodz' over and over again in a shopping mall.

Work / Why is Polish workmanship so bad? [52]

My Polish friend would completely disagree with you but this is the value of personal experience, it can lead us to a different conclusion.

Ok, let me add an 'opinion' for you, modafinil. I think there is a lot of needless fussing which appears catty and like a fight but it's not quite the same. Just have a look at some mother/daughter pairs shopping and you'll see what I mean.

Love / My reaction to a thread against foreigners marrying Polish girls [37]

It tends to be Indians and Pakistanis that make speculative enquiries but they won't get too far with most Polki.

Pam, he was making points and seeking discussion. Don't knock him for that. He had the courage to speak out.

Sometimes there is no sense voicing an opinion given that, if your head is flexible enough, you can even counter it with another opinion of your own later. Where's the logic in that? It always comes back to the same thing, i.e the truth!

Love / Do Polish women fight about everything? [39]

Sometimes with Polish women, what seems like a fight is actually not. Don't be deceived!

Love / My reaction to a thread against foreigners marrying Polish girls [37]

I think that was more than clear enough, thanks! :)

Is polygamy practised in Turkey?

How so??

Sham arrangements are not in the interests of the collective though some genuine ones exist. Freedom of association is counterbalanced by reality.

News / Nigel Farage voice of reason for Poland and EU? [79]

Merkozy's fate is in the hands of those that have the money to rescue the vision. If they are too stingy not to see that their control will be preserved as a result of spending then I'll happily kick them closer to the plughole. History has shown us that people hellbent on a certain vision will go to great lengths and to the very end to bring it about. That's where a good chess player would catch them out :)

Sascha, of course democracy is the best way. It's a simple recommendation yet a masterstroke at the same time. Simplicity is genius!

You know what some might say, Greg...... ;)

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

Yeah, it can descend into the ridiculous. No need for such deep analysis, of course. An island is a piece of land completely surrounded by water and both GB and the island of the Irish fit that description. End of story!

DE, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance was seen as an admission in the history books of Britain's need for allies after struggling through the Boer War of 1899.

The UK would be referred to as islands as NI is not part of GB, simple!

In the Polish media I have seen 'na wyspach' on more than one occasion.

DE, please don't embarrass yourself anymore than you really need to. You're close to your quota ;)

As for continental, think continental breakfast. The full English is sth very different and more substantial.

News / What part of Poland's image do you think is the most exportable? [90]

True. People can discover the regions for themselves.

But the tourism industry is not exportable, delph ;) What on earth are you on about, man? ;) ;)

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

Australasia is the continent. Brits refer to mainland Europe as the continent, yes. Nothing wrong with calling it 'island' as The British Isles enjoyed splendid isolation up to 1902 and, well, we are still an island despite ditching the policy ;)

Um, PIFL anyone?

Doesn't the Hague Convention on Child Abduction apply here?

Important marches are another idea that symbolises Poland. They champion various causes.

USA, Canada / Where do most Polish-Americans identify on the political spectrum? [142]

Good post, I-S. Very good, in fact!!

History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]

True but they got what they wanted. Inadvertently, the Zionists have too. Where poor Jewish families were cruelly made to suffer, those Zionist dogs were cashing in on their bereavement.
