Its funny you say that, my friends grandmother is German and they were (still are!) extremely wealthy, when they came back their rather extensive property in the Black Forrest it had been stripped bare by the Yanks! Cheeky feckers were still living in too!
We covered her in School..I just googled her now to make sure I was right...So ahead of her time..And a woman too in them times..
Add Shelley to that...Just think Sean, all those items that would have been lost and gone unadmired had it not been for us theiving scum...Tombs were robbed in Egypt by locals and items sold off or worse melted down..history was lost...As much as you hate it we have preseved it and brought the past to life...Plus given so much joy to others...You might want to think on...museums dont charge in the UK so its FREE for all to see, nobody is making a profit out it..British tax payers ensure that these items are cared for.
There have been tribes on my Island for over 500,000 years...Angles was the first term which was coined by the Romans...which was in about 55BC.
By the way how long have the Irish been known as "Irish" !!!!!!!!!!

I'm sitting in the UK now, in northern England, in an area with heavy industrial development, heavily bombed during WW2 and nothing particularly special. Yet within a quarter a mile there's a ruined medieval castle, a Saxon church and a handful of five hundred year-old houses

The UK Border Agency (UKBA) said the scam, which may have involved up to 130 workers, was one of Britain's largest human trafficking conspiracies.
Lukasz Adamowicz, 28, and Jerzy Bala, 40, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court.
The court, sitting on Friday, heard they were "middle managers" of an operation focussed on Sheffield.
It was told how the scam involved Polish men handing over hundreds of pounds before they were housed in "stinking and dingy" conditions in the derelict Halcar Tavern, in the Burngreave area of Sheffield.

Gross...I wouldnt want sex with someone with hygiene habbits like this! How often do you change your bedding?
All my family are evening AND morning showerers...Friends of mine are in the main evening and morning showerers...There is no rule that states one must do one or the other...Long leisurly shower in the evening and then a quick one in the morning..
Its respecting peoples wishes.
Which it is..Zet plenty practice this in the UK as children we came in the back door and left our shoes in the utility room and changed in to our slippers for around the house, honestly there is nothing unusual whatsoever in this practice.

What 'grime' is going to get attached to e.g. your knees or back? Your hands and face can be washed whenever.
I dont work down a pit, but I like to put my jim jams on when Im fresh.
Depends what way you look at it. For me, showering in the morning has the added benefit of helping you wake up. Also, morning showerers are basically cleaner than all the evening showerers they meet during the day and early evening ; )
I wash both in the evening and the morning..just takes less time in the morning, as you say, its to freshen up..
Also, it has to be said, assuming most people have sex at night a morning shower makes more sense in many ways.

Anyway, you really think it's not the norm to shower in the morning in the UK? Like I said, I lived there and every single person I encountered did this.

The data, from the NHS information centre, showed there were 2,724 hospital admissions in 2007-08 for bariatric surgery, which includes stomach stapling and gastric bypasses.
Dr David Haslam, a GP in Hertfordshire and clinical director of the National Obesity Forum, said PCTs were turning down requests for surgery not because patients were failing to meet criteria laid down by the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (Nice), but to cut costs.
The NHS information centre data published in February also revealed that the number of drugs to treat obesity dispensed on the NHS increased to 1.23 million items in 2007 - a rise of 16% on 2006
Eighty per cent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese at the time of diagnosis

Did you know that smokers had to pay for patches and gum to give up? No free treatment...Fatties get it all...Smoking is an addiction, most people over eat and become fat because they are greedy and lazy!
"We are spending £372m to implement the Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives strategy and as part of this we are investing £75m over the next three years in Change4Life that aims to encourage people to be more active and eat better."
My brother heads up a team for the above government initiative and he was happier when working in mental health, he said the people he worked with previously responded better! Doesnt that tell you something?

They fake qualifications and bank accounts to make themselves look good to get visas (there's another one)
They have the most immigration facilities in the UK (bogus at the least - there's another one)

Oh and look the the noise they made about the immigration cap in the UK - look at the noise they made about the rules made for Indian doctors who came to study here...Fact, most Indians dream of being somewhere other than India!

Maybe you didnt understand that the idiot said India had a larger army than the UK, which would make sense when your population is 17 times bigger (and some!)..so for him to say 10 times larger..kind doesnt make them that big in relative terms! Besides, bigger isnt better..rather quality than quanity...but some countries dont quite understand this concept hence the reason they fail miserably :(

Felix Topolski was born on 14 August 1907. He studied in the Warsaw Academy of Art and trained as an artillery officer. Later he moved to work in Italy and France and eventually moved to the United Kingdom in 1935 and founded a studio near Waterloo where there is still a free permanent exhibition which chronicles the 20th century. He married twice, first to Marian Everall and then Caryl J. Stanley. The George Bernard Shaw play In Good King Charles's Golden Days was published in 1939 with illustrations by Topolski, bringing his work to a wide audience in the UK.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]
Wash the grime of the day off..rather than sleep in..Always been an evening and morning showerer...But I will concede an old house mate of mine used to the morning thing until I called her a skank for doing so..
There are plenty in the UK that practice this - what's odd about not walking muck into someones home?
Got the mini ones in the fridge, but I would consider eating them for breakfast (yuk!)
Yummy (grilled tomatoes are better though)
Its not the norm..its all about preference..As kids its routine with the whole bath and bed thing..some of us continue with it..(a lot do actually)
Exhibitionist?
I cant say I noticed this on any of my visits..but then again you must be stairing at them in return?
Showering in the evening

Removing shoes when entering houses. This was odd for me.

Love / 'Battered husbands' - still a taboo subject in Poland [387]
Men lose their sex appeal when they end up like you.
A woman loses her sex appeal when she becomes the opposing instead of the opposite sex.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]
It means, Im not really listening and I dont intend to do what you've asked, Im just making the right noise in the hope you will shut up..
Or
He's given up and is totally hen pecked!
In time you will be able to anticipate the drivers moves and go "no handed" :D
When he publicly says "Yes, dear" to me,

Often times I have to hold on to the (P)pole, especially when the tram takes turns. I think that within the short period of time I will develop more upper body strenght, so I will be able to secure the ride with one arm, like a good monkey would. So far my whole body often gets yanked while riding, but this is something I could work on;), but after all I can bump into somebody interesting and things can develop;), he, he.......

Language / How similar is the Italian accent to the Polish accent (when speaking English)? [34]
Your friend must be tone deaf because they sound nothing alike.
I cant see how they'd sound similar to anyone :D
Are you saying Pavarotti sounded Polish?
Very bad stereotype...
My friend (who's been to both Poland and Italy) says that Italian people speaking English and Polish people speaking English sound quite similar. Is this true?
Your friend must be tone deaf because they sound nothing alike.
To me, they don't sound at all similar.
I cant see how they'd sound similar to anyone :D
She also said that when Italian people and Polish people sang English songs they sounded basically identical...
Are you saying Pavarotti sounded Polish?
As in: My frienda here, he's a gooda man.
Very bad stereotype...
