Polonia / Tak Tak - Polish Deli (in Berlin) [34]

but I'm guessing it's usually done by people who don't have the time to cook their own meals at home.

....no time....not in the mood...for a movie night....or just out of curiousity to taste something NOT home cooked, something more exotic! :)

Polonia / Tak Tak - Polish Deli (in Berlin) [34]

One think I don't see in Berlin is the kind with Indian spices which are getting popular in the UK;

..lack of Indians, I guess!

Chinese and Turkish that is in Berlin....and the usual Italian Cuisine of course....plus abit Arabic and Japanese.....sadly when you surf through the Delivery services there are not many, if at all, polish or other european offerings for hungry stomachs. I wonder why that is...Poland is so much nearer....and Poles are everywhere....there must be more Poles than Turks or Chinese in Berlin alone!

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]

There is that urge to build a political enitity under German boot

Always astounding how a viewpoint influences the opinion.....from inside Germany felt never econoically weaker and politically disunified. I might say that fearful look from the outside (Poland) onto a strong and influential and powerful Germany is not a realistic one....

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

na ja.....the info I could found about that spoke about "isolate" Germany.....that sounds alot different!

zerohedge.com/geopolitical/former-pentagon-advisor-says-us-likely-attacked-nord-stream-pipelines-isolate-germany

...Referring to Polish MEP Radoslaw Sikorski's infamous deleted tweet in which he wrote, "Thank you, USA," Macgregor noted, "Who else might be involved? Well the Poles apparently seem to be very enthusiastic about it."...

K. has it out for Germany, with the reparation demands and all that....why not destroy that pipeline too?

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [583]

Now it's official:

Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Glasgow or Liverpool in 2023

spiegel.de/kultur/musik/eurovision-song-contest-findet-2023-in-glasgow-oder-liverpool-statt-a-064b1cb7-805b-43d9-845e-1ddf4fb7dab5

Because of the war in Ukraine, the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Great Britain. In the meantime, only two cities can be considered as venues: "We know how to party here." ...

It's okay, I guess.....still sad for Ukraine.....

History / The British Royal Family and Poland: Any connection? [70]

The Queens husband,Prince Philip had maternal Polish ancestry.

Do you have a link to that? I've heard his mother was Alice von Battenberg...and her mother was Victoria von Hessen....that maternal line goes (Wiki) back to Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.....

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

Okay.....let's see:

grateful
/ˈɡreɪtfʊl,ˈɡreɪtf(ə)l/

adjective: grateful

feeling or showing an appreciation for something done or received.


Yes, I would.....probably....maybe.....

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

You didn't answer my question, BB.

I thought I did?

East-Germans can pose the same question....Germany could have faced a much worse fate than we already did, maybe even deserved, so yes....in hindsight I can chose to hold grudges for the loss of live and home, for all the violations and humiliations, or I can chose to be grateful for what we still kept. I doubt there is one absolute answer for everybody....

This thread is maybe better for remembering a past which happened.

Agreed....bowing out here!

Would gratitude be the prevailing feeling in you???

Well.....in this case you would have been long dead without the second bandit coming and rescuing you, ensuring you are still alive 50 years later to discuss this question.

You and your family WOULD BE LONG DEAD! Easy....

That reminds me abit about the discussion about Gorbatschow recently....people arguing Gorbatschow was somehow still a bad man because he didn't liberate everybody and everything immediately but did some doubtful things before he did go on destroying the Soviet Empire, taking down the Iron Curtain, ending the Cold War, setting millions free in the end....

History / Anniversary of Soviet Invasion [116]

You don't know how Poland would had fared without the Soviet Union, that's the thing.

IMHO there is no reasoned decision possible...we all know only the turn history took not what could have been.

Many (most?) say a rule by victorious Nazis would had been MUCH worse than everything the Soviets did or didn't do....so....
