    Are we doing the change our names thing?

    Szklanka do polowy pusta is the correct answer!

    Does 'po stronie ostroznie' supposed to mean 'safety first' kind of thing?

      It was a google translate of "on the side of caution".

      I hope you're not going to tell me it doesn't make sense because I love the look and (imagined) sound of 'po stronie ostroznie'.

          Damn you, Google translate!

          I'll change it - thanks.

              I'm guessing this might help me with my name change...

                I haven't decided who to support yet. I could keep my name as is if I go for France, the home of my ancestors, but they were so unlikable during the last World Cup I'm not sure I can do it.

                Germany played lovely football in the World Cup, so I could change to Reinhardt, or possibly Fuchs.

                But I'll probably end up watching most of the games with some Swedish friends, so maybe Renartsson.

                It's really an overwhelming decision.

                  That might be wise.

                    I hope the site doesn't log me out too often, Szczesny is going to be a bitch to spell for the next month.

                      Mine is so long that my messages have the look of being bullet-pointed compared to everyone else.

                      I shall revert back to Commodore just to keep in line when this is all finished.

                        I'm thinking Kryvbas Gripper Rih.

                        (As an aside, can I change my moniker from grippersi to gripper anyway? Is that outwith the rules here?)
                        Edit: Sorted out how to do this, so my name is changed. fwiw.

                          I quite like the idea of changing to the Polish, traktorboja (which I think translates as "tractorbuoy").

                              In polish it'd be Chlopiec Traktorowiec.

                              Love the name of Cal Zapiekanka Bialystok.

                              Zapiekanka is this:

                                They rock. We saw a guy eating one in Warsaw and asked what it was and any place we went we ate them. Like eating Doner Kebabs in Germany.

                                  That's a french bread pizza!

                                  The memory rush of that was enough to make me check whether Findus still make them. Yes and they're currently marked down from £1.69 to a pound at Ocado. The discount could be bigger, given that they've probably been in the freezer since 1982.

                                  My food crush last time we were in Poland was a pierogi chain that does them with a bread, rather than pasta, shell. Yum.

                                    It's nowhere near pizza, there's no carefully constructed tomato and oregano base sauce there. It's simply ham and cheese on toast with other stuff bunged on top. Genius, in other words.

                                        Just pretend EIM stands for something different.

                                            I don't really like my Polish/Ukrainian name, but I don;t really want to pick one that is too far from my usual name, as I can't foll0w it when people do that. So my preferred handle "The Dead Pope" will have to remain unused.

                                              French bread pizza isn't really anywhere near pizza. Nor is it made from french bread.

                                                Can anyone explain "caja dglh"? Is he just after some of that Spanish bailout money? Actually it's more likely that he'd be merged with another user.

                                                  I've just realised I haven't changed back since the last tournament in South Africa. Dynammso Kyiv it'll be, where is the next tournament then?

                                                    Was actually thinking of changing mine away from a Uke name, as that's not exactly something to be proud of at the moment. But, as one of the board's token n00b anti-authoritarians, i feel contrarian enough already. So never mind.
