Love / Polish men are their own special breed ... [96]

Hey girls :)

The general conclusion is that slavic men rule.

So now we know why you've never had any success with the female of the species, they just weren't your type after all

Life / An example of what is wrong with Poland (fatal traffic accident and a tram) [55]

Harry, have you ever been on a train in the UK that's been delayed by a few hours because of a fatality? I expect you was the miserable bugger complaining?

I used to work for the railway and yes it's a huge inconvenience when the rail network grinds to a halt, because the police have to inspect the scene where someone has gone under a train, I'm sure you're one of those who would just dismiss it as a suicide, but I do remember one incident that occurred when I was at work one day, that turned out to be murder that was made to look like suicide. Had the train driver just kicked the body to one side and carried on driving the train that murder would never have been uncovered.

If it was your mother lying dead beside that tram, you would be the first to insist on a thorough investigation.

History / A question regarding Christian/Pagan military alliance in First Millenium Central Europe [17]

Christianity, regardless of appropriating some Pagan aspects, does not believe in the Goddess

So why is the major Christian festival of Easter named after a pagan goddess? What I'm saying is, just because the people carried a banner depicting a pagan goddess, doesn't mean they had not been made to convert. Even in the 21st century Christianity is still rife with pagan imagery and customs, these people may well have been Christians, but when it came to something as important as a battle, they reverted to a banner of a goddess they trusted to protect them.

UK, Ireland / A Mexican-Polish citizen is moving to UK by summer 2011 [38]

I'll second isthatu, if you haven't got a job lined up don't even think about. The job situation is bad and getting worse. We're about to lose a third of the workforce where I work, it's the same everywhere. Local government spending cuts will also have a negative knock on effect on jobs.

My local council, has just stopped the subsidy to the bus companies, there will no longer be buses on Sundays, evenings and Bank holidays, this will mean less work for the drivers, half of whom are Polish, they will be on flat wages, the company may even lay a few off. It really isn't a good time to come here, unless you have a secure job to go to.

Love / Arabs: "Polish women are easy and stupid" [132]

Everyone knows that going to Egipt as a single woman is just going for sex

Really?! It may surprise you to know that many women are educated and go to Egypt because they are interested in archaeology and Egyptian history, but then I doubt you ever meet many women like that

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

However, remember that for the same sum you can buy 24 Harrier jump jets, Fifteen Tornado GR1 and F3As and as many Nimrods as you can shake a stick at in the Great Uk Government Defence Cuts Car Boot Sale. Buy four and get a free half built aircraft carrier;)

Can you throw a few politicians in as well, but no return agreement on them, once they've gone we don't want them back

History / What are Poland's pagan roots? [62]

Being a lazy bugger I found this

Eostre

Eostre is another name for the Spring Equinox, when day and night are of equal length. It falls on or around March 21st. Other names include Ostara and Eostar.

In Old England, the Anglo-Saxon name for April was "Eostremonath". Eostre was possibly a Goddess of the Dawn as the word "Eostre" is related to "East". As the Sun risies is the East each day and this is a time of growing light, this is very fitting. The Anglo-Saxon year consisted of two seasons - Summer and Winter. Winter began at Samhain and Summer began at Eostre.

To add to this, I was always told that Eostre had a hare and that her hare could lay eggs, she is always shown with a hare and a basket of eggs

*that picture would make a lovely avatar*

History / Esperanto - an effort by a Pole ... [122]

but if a quarterhorse is raised in a racing stable and can keep up and outrun a thoroughbred in the long haul, isn't it still a racing horse?

but can it bark?

History / Esperanto - an effort by a Pole ... [122]

I learn Greek at 3 and German at 5...now I'm 25, I've lived in Germany all my life, what am I?

A dog can be born in a stable, but that doesn't make him a horse..(a wonderful Duke of Wellington quote)

News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]

It doesn't matter if a person utters those words and end up in a cooking pot or a cross.

It matter to me! I take care of myself and those close to me.
You care about the poor Roma, who have freewill and a choice whether to live an honest life or not, but you don't care bout someone who is killed by cannibals or crucified? I think you're the one who needs help.

However, as a woman, show a more graceful heart

My father gave me the same opportunities and same responsibilities he would give a boy, he taught me how to fight and stand on my own two feet, he never expected any less of me for being a girl and I'm grateful to him for that.

News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]

It depends on how you see humans ... I see each human as having a soul and a heart equally as me, in which God would reside. The matter is, how to deal with the problem correctly for GOOD OF ALL ... and there are obviously ways if you believe in yourself, and really do love and consider for them.

probably the last words of many a Christian missionary before he ended up in the cooking pot

News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]

Why not send the people in questions Lodz-the-boat's way...he would surely be willing to provide shelter and food for them in his garden...

I wish him luck.....
My elderly aunt had her purse stolen by such people in a supermarket, it really effected her, her health deteriorated, she lost her self confidence and suffered a stroke.

their culture and ways must be introduced to our children too ... so that a warmth can be created in either side

I don't want my children to learn how to thieve and cheat

Life / Anybody else out there a folk dancing fan? [25]

Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance, it takes place in September and goes on all day, visiting every farm and village in the area. Carbon dating on the antlers show them to be at least 1,000 years old, the dance is mentioned in 12th century writings, so it's very old

note the horse in the line-up, here's another one that takes place on Mayday where only the horse dances
