nudge Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It's a rally of EU supporters in Germany asking the Dutch to stay in the EU. Quote

nudge Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It's not an American thing, I actually laughed at the flag being there too - even if it is expected. EU and LGBT support movement kinda goes hand in hand. 1 Quote
Panflute Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Thomas, if you are on that photo I will come to Düsseldorf with an axe and look for you. Quote

Eco Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Well - I lost in tennis tonight...to a Lithuanian. I told him I had a female friend from there named Inga and he got all excited and asked if she was the one with blonde hair that lives in Atlanta. Sadly I had to ruin his day by saying no, I think she lives in Thailand at the moment. He didn't really speak to me much afterwards. @nudge Quote

I just wanted to have something in common with the guy - and it turns out I ruined his dream. Inga, how similar is Lithuanian to Russian? He was speaking on the phone and I thought I could understand parts of it, but I wasn't able to listen too closely. Quote

It's two completely different languages (Lithuanian is Baltic, Russian is Slavic), if you could understand parts of it that was probably Russian swear words as Lithuanians like using those Quote

I thought they were closer together but now that you say that, it makes more sense. Looking back, he probably thought I was just full of b.s. about knowing a girl from Lithuania. Quote
nudge Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Not necessarily, knowing a Lithuanian is not particularly surprising as we're spread all over the world like a bunch of gypsies, haha. Quote

Alright- I only have met one in person (last night), and that's because he was wearing some kind of Lietuva Track Suit with a Man U hat. Quote
