johnp - there’s a lot of bad blood between Poland and Russia going back a long way - (the Poles have had a hard time historically being stuck between Germany and Russia) I guess this is why Pavel regards it as an insult.
Personally I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony etc. . .
hei, this is the insulting part —“bad blood”, british used to say if you scatch a Russian, underneath you will find a Mongol, or Russians are Mongols inside Caucasians, something like that… forget which of your famous british said thatbut I am a Mongol, you see
it is just a generic picture. i have some riding pictures, all on some other horses (Don, Budyony) instead of a mongolian pony. this picture shows a mongolian pony.
have any of you see this Mongolian film shown on UK cinemas now?
that must be the exception. i lived there for four and a half years, then spent another six in finland constantly travelling back to tallinn. biggest headache were the drunk finns in the passport queue, still drinking. i just wondered what the response would be if they tried to pull that at jfk. and for balance i know a lot of decent finns. they’re not all drunk.
