Memorial Honoring Wording

Out of England, vol.1

last binge in Bristol pub already behind me. Fortunately, I managed not to totally manhandle beer without foam. After leaving the pub we went still for a kebab (which do not get the tzatziki sauce), we bought a couple of beers at a nearby Tesco and went to me to play a few games in the PES. The evening passed pretty cool. Today, however, slowly gathers I (no, not vomiting) for reflection. I leave England soon after nearly a half stay here. So I just think what I will be missing in Poland, and for what certainly will not miss. Below a small wykazik what came to mind.

Let's start with the things that definitely appealed to me here:

- The widespread interest in English football. If they did not look, their national sport, even boasting that he invented, so strange if it were otherwise. But there is something extremely cool - when it comes to a weekend filled pubs and Premier League Matchday becomes the most important thing. Before he came to Cyfra + my house, I often spent Saturday afternoons in the pub where I watched the matches. In such circumstances, the easiest way to start a conversation with an Englishman - almost everyone is eager to commute with you a few sentences about what you are watching the match. Moreover, I ask the same, a few times it happened to me after the game to be on even one beer to complete an interesting conversation. But a weekend in a pub is one thing, another thing is that during the week are still in continuous conversation about football. Atmosphere match live local already made a detailed for Rovers. Football here is a universal passion. In Poland, it is kind of similar, but do not kid yourself - who is so hot today, debates about our league? - Especially when a trip to Wroclaw, arranges to have even a more recent kings of the marksmen.

- Another thing about football is a huge market for football books. Something in us is unthinkable. Each bookstore is here because a very large selection of all kinds of publications related to football, from biographies and autobiographies, by entries for individual clubs, competitions, Finally, a book showing the sociological dimension of football in the UK, ending with the statistical yearbooks. It is this multitude, and although a quick review of shelves shows that the Big Four rules and bookstores, a lover of English football has no right to complain.

- Element road - yellow flashing light which will force the car to stop, only one has ever come close to pedestrian crossings. For extremely useful for large roundabouts, on which traffic is quite significant.

- Prices of CDs. With 20 pounds in his pocket (which today is equal to around 100 gold) to release the music, we can safely leave the shop with four boards in his pocket. Simply napalać not be on the news, wait several months until the buzz around the album will go silent and you can get issued with one plate in the promotion 2 for 10 . Since its arrival in England, completely forgot what it looks like sucking anything from the network.

- The continuous depreciation of the shops. Whenever you choose to shop, there is always a chance that something you definitely wyhaczysz lower price. Especially today, in times of crisis, when many shops are closes, and they organize sales until the total disappearance from the shelves of goods. Sometimes in these situations, the price is reduced as much as 10% of normal.

For now is the same as it occurred to me. The list will be updated. Let us look at things that are not necessarily in England to my liking:

- These have a beer without foam. When you order a beer in a pub, we can be sure that the bartender Will it brim of the glass. When you accidentally pour a little bit of foam, without any embarrassment tilt the glass so that the foam drips on it and give it to you so wet your hand. With us it's not inconceivable - who likes to be carried by the liquid crystal beer on his pants or shirt? The English apparently did not see this as a problem.

- This lack of tzatziki sauce for naan. Disaster.

- ogłupione completely dissolved and the generation of today's teenagers. The young Englishmen today is an absolute wilderness. Particularly rowdy girls fifteen years. Unfortunately, due to the idea millennium, which was the establishment of secondary schools in Poland is slowly leeched the same.

- Driving on the left. When one speaks the English, it's pointless, because everywhere else drives on the right side of the street, meet it not true, because just like in their ride in India, Australia and Japan. To which I always put the killer question - what chance you have a man that ever you go by car to India, Australia or Japan? Silence. Then I add - and what is the chance that you'll take the English Channel? Another issue is the need to change gears with your left hand.

- Love English football and also has a dark side - they had no idea what happened in the history of football outside of England. Just last season, the BBC it was possible to watch live Serie A. But I guess nobody did, because today have this possibility does not exist. Englishman cheering for Manchester United Karim Benzema all the time is this lad. So long as the Frenchman will arrive at Old Trafford, is simply not possible that the Englishman had learned his name.

- A multitude of accents. Bristolczyk speaks differently from the Londoner. Scouser differently from head to Manchester or Birmingham. The Geordies from the north not to mention. Understanding some of the English for the Polish borders with almost a miracle if they do not understand them even have the British. Fortunately, in Poland, apart from some minor exceptions, all say the same thing. Or at least clearly for others.

late to do it, so it's time to go to sleep. This list, however, may gradually increase.
