News / Polish parliament refuses to consider shack-up draft between both traditional and same-sex couples [96]


Believe it or not Oldenglisbird 'konkubin/konkubina' is indeed the official/legal term in Poland for co-habiting couples. In the West we would consider concubine a very archaic term, and of course it referred to an illicit or not quite respectable liaison. We would regard such a term as rather offensive but Polonius uses the term correctly in the Polish sense.

Love / Are Polish men handsome to you? [182]

The 'poem' contributed by Veles is a re-hash of the lyrics to the song 'Rasputin' by Boney M.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear.

Classic bit of late 70s/early 80s disco cheese, complete with authentically Russian balalaikas and thoroughly pop-tastic. Check it out on You Tube and enjoy........
