Żubrówka is actually slightly yellowy-green colour and has a blade of grass in the bottle. The grass is picked from the fields where the Polish bison (Żubr) roam...and legend has it that the vodka is that colour because the bison piss on the grass!!!

Not having a pop but i dont understand why people do that

You sure the lads weren't in a 'Night Club' aka brothel. Torun is a nice town, the bridge over the river is awesome and town looks nice, not sure about the night life though. Wroclaw is a lovely city, Krakow is also lovely to look at but it's ruined by the religious nut jobs and hooligans - in krakow last year they had protest marches against Halloween...do I need to say more? Some places worth seeing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malbork_Castle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westerplatte http://kornik.pl/en/home/ There are plenty of lakes around Poznan doing grills beside the beach, I'll be taking my mates to a BBQ for the best steaks 'karkowka'.

The lads I know who it happened to went up to two girls as they were getting money and just said 'you have nice eyelashes' then got talking and went 5 mins later thinking they were in It does happen a lot there though, theres warnings up in all the hostels and you'd hear about people getting scammed back at the hostel most days

The fact that Celtic refused to back down when threatened with closure for refusing to take down the Irish flag at Celtic Park is reason enough for me to wear it. Not to mention the numerous other Irish connections from its foundation to michael davitt turning the first sod at Celtic park etc etc  Dont want to turn this into a debate, but the fact that its green and white helps too.

good point schillaci.im not really for celtic jerseys at an ireland match but there i suppose theres a history there.the only thing that grates me is our supports lack of imagination and singing celtic songs.we should come up with new chants instead of singing just cant get enough.

Ill probably wear my hibs jersey over there on the non match days seeing as they were the irish founded team before celtic.

RTE only have the broadcasting rights within the Republic (or in some cases within the island of Ireland) so unless you're in Ireland or mask your IP address, a lot of stuff like that isn't available when you are abroad Irishmufc.
