This bus driver is so cute though.. me and my mates said 'broccoli' to him each day instead of 'morning', and I swear I heard him say it back once

[BlackHawk]

but he could be calling you an idiot and you wont know! XD

Come on, I wouldn't to that to a white person (except a race traitor)

I don't know what I want to say.. lol.. just speak at me in Polish, BH. I'm sure it's a very sexy language

I could say many things, but pronouncing them is a different story

And I don't want to mess around trying to explain the pronounciation now, it's getting late maybe tomorrow... I have a day off 


EDIT: Didn't see this one coming...

ROFL! That's what he gets for being an idiot and not knowing languages!

Is it like Czech where each letter is a syllable? I found that extremely confusing o.o

That's meaningless to me since I don't know Czech... but:
- in Polish the letters are 'normal', ie. vovels and consonants (whatever)
- in terms of pronounciation explained in English - yep, syllabes most of the time, BUT that GREATLY varies on the adjacent letters :dizzy:


EDIT: val, I scanned the part on pronounciation from my Collins polish-->english dictionary - 3 pages, a total of about 0.5 meg... here: ( I'd upload to photobucket but it appears to be down :blink: )

I like the conservatives, as I am a republican. However, I don't know much about UK politics, so I won't make my opinion die-hard or  anything

Same about not knowing a thing, not same about politics, lol. Liberal is not the same as democrat here, and I don't think we have a labor party... We have the green party as well, and the usual Nat. Soc. Party (NOT Nazis). But really, its a bi-partisan system. Republicans and Democrats control everything. I think we have one independant rep in the whole house? From maine or something....

by the way, maine is like a part of canada People speak french there.

In Canada we have:

Liberals
Conservatives
Bloc Québecois
New Democratic Party

Small onez:
- Green Party
- Marijuana Party (yes.. a weed party; trying to legalize marijuana)
- Independants

Liberals usually always win, and Canada hasn't had a conservative government in about 20 years since the Mulroney days (late 1980s?) The distribution of power is pretty lame. Eastern canada practically picks the leader before the west (where I am) have a chance to vote. The west is like gung-ho conservative, and the east is liberal/bloc. NDP is like scattered everywhere.

Bloc Québecois = French people who want their rights met (language, culture, etc..) They have even speculated seperation from Canada completely in the past.

Pfft... I can't vote. But meh, I hate conservatives because Michael Howard looks evil, not Lib Dems because they would cost my dad and my aunt their jobs and not UKIP because the advantages of the EU far outweigh the disadvantages.

[BlackHawk]

(...) because the advantages of the EU far outweigh the disadvantages.

You're a farmer, right? Because in Poland, ue ONLY helped farmers - a lot! - and we urban people only SUFFER!!! You know that the minimal wage for school cost refund (from ue) is... $80/person/month? That's ridiculous, you can't live a month for $80! And even then, the refund is $4/mo!!!
Also, food prices skyrocketed after Poland entered ue, so we're worse off than w\o it

Not point in Britain getting the Euro, because we'd just end up getting ripped off further
70% of our new laws last year were passed by beurocrats in Brussels. UNELECTED beurocrats. It's wrong.. eventually our elected government will have no power to do anything.

And thanks for the dictionary, Slothie It scares me.. I could never speak another language fluently, it's so cool that you can
