Nice people, not like I go there often but a few times I visit them and it's nice. On the other side there's (since a few months) a young family, whose children are loud, who yell at each other, who give their children noisy toys, who - first thing they did - built an ugly metal fence instead of the nice green 'separation' we used to have with our old neighbour and who have a dog that randomly barks during the day. Don't care much if they're black or white or green or red or purple or where they're from, I am just annoyed by them If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

They do have a noisy ass dog though. I still try to be as friendly as I can to them. When I roller skate to university I wave to everyone on my way to a) be a decent person b) show them someone notices them c) raise me profile in the community d) let drivers know I’m on the edge of the street so they don’t kill me. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Things are hopefully changing a lot, some years ago this number would be much much higher. you must look also from this side, we are speaking about Slovakia, such things were absolutely taboo decades ago. we are completely open to the world only some 30 years now, even the west countries needed much longer time to be open-minded Quasit, heywoodu and Wumo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
