Nope, doesn't work Mike.

I moved, lost email for 3 weeks, setup new DSL, and reformatted.

Even with a brand new IP (static even) all that equals no account at HTC.

At 10pm PST (HTC office closed) I setup a "I'm Jonesin" account, with a old standby email. They sniffed it out and I am in HTH till they sort it out. My fault of course, but mirrors your question if you can rob the good folks at HTC.

Which is good btw. If you are into the game enough to keep setting up accounts, at some point you will subscribe.

Wear yourself out, you'll just be a faceless no one, kinda like this Mr.X RamJaggoff, without mindless stats to quote.

Think about it. How stupid is that?

It's worth the $14 bones.

Polish,Pollocks...err yea. They're the guys that charged german tanks on horse back as they had nothing else...

The guys who held some island on river for how long before finaly surrendering? (its been along time)

The guys who stood up the the "Red" Menance w/strikes and such in the 80's...can you believe the risk they took then?

If the sh(* hits the fan I hope we have some "pollocks" w/us.

heh batdog, about those tanks... it was a german propaganda

they (germans) were way to strong and equipment too well to beat them. they won with france <--- much stronger then polish army. other thing is, that our guys were fighting really brave. no need to tell you that noone helped us and at 17.IX.1939 soviets striked us as well. both or my grandfathers were fighting at that time one with germans 2nd with soviets. both alived,so i heard a lot of stories about that war

Wow....it never ceases to amaze me how we have so many indiv's from across the world playing this game. I always learn something as a result. So the Polish Calvary charge didnt actualy happen? Well... your guys still fought like hell.

"So the Polish Calvary charge didnt actualy happen?"

well, it happened a lot of times, but as i know our guys never tried to destroy tanks by swords
One of my grandfathers was a cavalryman and was fightin' with soviets there guys had some great results at the begining' of WWII. kicked a lot of soviet and German butt$ last great victory of ours Cavalery was at Krojanty '39. charge of 18th calalery division under command of col. K. Masztelarz stopped 20th infantry (don't know the proper name if motorized infantry...hmm guys riding on allkinds of vehicles anyway) division

p.s. there were a lot of young soldiers on Alied, Soviet and Geman side. we should salute all of them!
Salute, all of you who was fighting not murdering!

Man for man(or soldier for soldier),the Poles were every bit as good(or better)than the Germans...They had the best kill % of any squad in the Battle of Britain and fought the Blitzkrieg tooth and nail until it was hopeless...Whenever I hear someone spout how "Poles" charged panzers on horseback and see them stupidly laugh like it was funny or something...I always look for thier reaction when I tell em they defended Britain with as much tenacity(or more) than the actuall Brit's did and that is took more courage to defend against an attacker with vastly superior numbers.

The poles had a buncha crap old planes yet still managed to down a lot of shiny new German ones. Poles rock.
The Fins held out for a long time against persistent German attack. They rocked too.
Was it the czechs that told Germany to #&$* off when the royal family sided with the Germans? They went on to kick out the old prince and attacked the germans. Pity they got caned.

There were a lot of small but brave countries that defied the Axis powers even when they knew defeat was certain.

I've been reading the book 2194 days of war just lately and I never realised how much help the US gave us at New Guinea. Thanks to all your fathers or grandfathers for the help. I knew we rocked it up in the jungle but it seems you guys were every bit as tough and without you we would have been overwhelmed. I'd raise a tankard but i'm at work

Poles......beautiful people

Ive had the pleasure of partying with the polish sword fencing team in Hungary.

Who were the last people to leave the club? who drank the most?
who started to drink cherry vodka(yueeeuk!) when all the good vodka ran out? who was the last teams to go to sleep ready for the next days competition?

well i'll tell you this.....it wasnt the french,german,italian,chinese or hungarians

whats more hung over we (brits and poles) still kicked some bellybutton

I have to say of all the european countries people the polish seem the closest to the Brits.Same sense of humour, slightly black and synical.

the Polish.

hey and who can forget that scene in the battle of britain film with the English CO commanding the polish?

'enemy bombers 3oc, disengage' (spit rolls out to attack the germans)
'get back in formation!'
'repeatpleeze'(spit flies off to attack the Germans)
'Damn get back in formation!!'
'repeatpleeze'(another breaks for germans)
eventually the CO is alone whilst 6 lunatics tear the germans to peices lol.

great stuff

other thing is, that russians are better... but hey! they was teachin' us... they were our masters in that area

need to buy a bottle of kickin' stuff and work on my technique a bit

gavor, this are performances of our "first line" fighters at IX '39, PZL P11c

engine: Skoda Mercury 630KM (horse power) it's 464kW i bet
max speed: 390km/h (not MPH!) at 5500m
max alt: 8000m
climbing: 6mins for 5000m
range: 800km

I was reading about them in one of my aircraft book just recently bike killa. There were 2 different models flying from memory, one was a biplane? Or was it a gull-wing mono? Can't remember, i'll look it up tonite and get the Kills v deaths stats too. They were very good for the Polish.

If you get your polish plane then I get my Commonwealth Boomerang

.

I like to present something from all angles so here I have a different angle on Polish behaviour....

Macho Men?
1996 Darwin Awards Winner
Some men will got to extraordinary lengths to prove how macho they are. Frenchman Pierre Pumpille recently shunted a stationary car two feet by headbutting it. "Women thought I was a god," he explained from his hospital bed.
Deity or not, however, Pumpille is a veritable girl's blouse compared to Polish farmer Krystof Azninski, who staked a strong claim to being Europe's most macho man by cutting off his own head in 1995. Azninski, 30, had been drinking with friends when it was suggested they strip naked and play some "men's games". Initially they hit each other over the head with frozen turnips, but then one man upped the ante by seizing a chainsaw and cutting off the end of his foot. Not to be outdone, Azninski grabbed the saw and, shouting "Watch this then," je swung at his own head and chopped it off.

"It's funny," said one companion, "when he was young he put on his sister's underwear. But he died like a man."

Hey, that is interesting.

When did we Finns "hold out a long time against German attack?"

I thought Germans were our good friends from 1940 onwards, though they took a side with the Russians during the Winter War. After that, it was common war against common enemy.
