winning olympic gold, in these events by, 3cms and 130grams are great achievements, but it ain't kicking ass. besides, all these competitors seem to be good mates, which makes a mockery of anyone elses ill feeling towards country of origin.
Their joy is doubled by the fact that one medalist, shot putter, kicked the German ass, while the other, weightlifter, kicked the Russian ass.

i'm not so sure.
english is what is needed now, any other language learnt at school will be done with peers, Polish can be slotted in with words and phrases and more defined learning later. Polish is always available in the Gruffi_Gummi household as well as whatever asian language his wife speaks.

History / Anyone know the name, if true... .... Polish Royal heir [40]
in trying to answer the question you are starting at the wrong end.
with genealogy/family history you should start in the present and work backwards.
birth, death, marriage records
naturalization records.
social security records
ship's records (ellis island records)
church records (in Poland)
Most important is to speak to as many living family members as possible and write down what they say.
stories like yours almost always have a hint of truth. i suspect there may have been a noble in the family, but not a prince.
this man you are looking for may have been the son or grandson of a person of note ... and was living off his family history.

you haven't seen topless women on the beach because until you started posting you had no idea where these (topless) beaches were.
no need. like i said, for the most part most Poles couldn't give a damn about nudity.
Nudist beaches aren't popular in Poland, even during the summer. Sunbathing topless is still taboo in Poland. I've lived in Poland since last summer and never seen a topless woman at a beach in Poland.

simply: there is plenty of swearing on Polish tv. there is more bare flesh than on british tv and certainly more than on american tv.
we do have nudist beaches, although not too popular at this time of year.
the thing is that Polish people don't make an issue out of it. excecpt for the occasional case.
Swearing and nudity is almost always censored on Polish TV. But i am wondering why ? Why is sunbathing topless so taboo and illegal in Poland ?
Well i wish i could find some articles about Polish women sunbathing topless ...but sadly Polish girls don't go topless for fear of harassment and fines.

Or, you can burn alive in your car, because seatbelts kept you in place. Think about it.

Valentines Day is a recent thing in Poland. Older folk might not bother with it and a certain few who object to western traditions might also ignore it. It's one of those days whereby one looks an utter twat for not buying something, just because the next man did.
he looked totally surprised and said no.

History / Polish inventors - what have they ever given to the world? [101]
Unless Des Essientes is a doctor or at least qualified in a field dealing with mental illness, I would not take his comment seriously.
That, of course, may lead us to think that, if Des Essientes has no idea about mental illness, then he is in fact trolling/flaming.
I am in fact qualified to deal with those who troll/flame and would remind both members and guests that repeat offenders will be suspended for ever increasing periods.
If I were to as much as suspect that Des Essientes were trolling/flaming I would suspend him for up to two months.
However, there is also the point that if members or guests try to instigate the removal of a particular person: then they may go first.
In other words: Behave yourselves, each and all.
Mods, are accusations of mental illness acceptable on this forum?
