Yeah, we love our football here, or soccer as you guys call it.
In Britain some people are beginning to get into American Football and Basketball has always had a niche audience, it was one of my favourite sports at school.

But Baseball is a no no.....we see that as too similar to Rounders...... a girls game.

Yeah, the high scoring system is the cause of that.
Johnny has never heard of Lewandowski......

Poles tend to be consevative and intolerant of foreigners and foreign culture.
I don't have a problem with that.
Do you?


Not at all.
Quite the opposite.

That is the thing about Poland, just when you think you have seen it all, something else comes up......

Really?
I am of pure Polish descent and yet I am regarded as British.
Do Pole Ams really have more rights than Anglo Poles?

Won't happen in our lifetimes and do you know what?
I'm quite glad about that.
Poles are fine as they are, they don't need changing. ......

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


Poland could do with Royalty returning.......

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


Just not true I'm afraid.
Only true on this forum.
Real Poles, in real life are just as intolerant, biased and bigoted as AM Poles.
Get used to it.
Because it ain't gonna change anytime soon.....

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

I am truly stuck in the middle here.
Why are Poles and Brits so antagonistic towards Yanks?
And why are Yanks so antagonistic towards Poles and Brits?
I love Poles, Brits and Yanks and this all seems pretty stupid to me.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


Yes, point taken.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]


I stand corrected :-)
But that means this forum does not truly reflect reality.

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

I have to say that is not my experience of Poles.
Most Poles I know are fairly intolerant,uptight, not as open minded as West Europeans, not particularly humanistic and quite prejudiced.
Having said that, I wouldn't change a thing.
Poles are just fine as they are.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

So true.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

No.
I was fed sweet corn on the cob as a child,grilled and with some butter on it.
It made me want to throw up....... disgusting.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


I don't know about Americans but for me, corn is inedible and disgusting.

But not half a country!

But not controlling the country :-)

The British did not stay for nearly fifty years like The Russians did.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]


French arrogance.It was a half hearted invasion which they never backed up with the force they intended.
It cost The French and The Poles dear.


The agreement was not specific.

It contained promises of mutual military assistance between the nations and for Britain and Poland to "consult together on measures to be taken in common".

Don't forget that Britain declared war on Germany and lost many civilian as well as military lives as a result.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

The French were never ready, which is why The Germans conquered them so easily.
As for The Maginot line, been there, seen it, Verdun especially, what a waste of time!
The British were ready by the summer of 1940 when they started bombing Germany.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

The Anglo-French were not ready as you well know.
The French knew they were in a war when German tanks rolled over their border and The British knew they were in a war when the bombs started dropping.

I can still remember, as a kid, being driven through parts of London that were full of bombed out houses.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]


The Russian sacrifice was not to "Liberate" but to invade.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

Oh really?
Then why did Britain and France declare war on Germany when they invaded Poland?

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]


Russians have always loved to twist history for their own benefit.
They are still doing it now.
And there are some morons on here that still watch and even believe RT!!! LOL !!!
