The calm after the storm  LOL, not even on a results day we get that many posts  It's good to see this getting many posts but it would have been better if they came in a nicer way.  For sure, and I wouldn't have missed them |

Just for wondering (sry for 4 posts in a row) @fizzyfrost and Shovkovskyi/Peter don't you understand Lithuanian (or maybe even that dialect) or is too "far away" from Russian/Latvian? Russian is a Slavic language, while Lithuanian is a Baltic one... these groups are quite close to each other, and Lithuanian has borrowed some words from Russian during the Soviet era but still I can't understand it except for some words. The best example I can think of to demonstrate the difference is a German speaker like you trying to understand a complicated text in present-day Icelandic, for example. Oh! Is it that different in that case?  |

There are some similar words, but not that many to understand the whole meaning... for lithuanians it's easier to understand latvian, than the other way round - although both are baltic languages... imo latvian language is one of the easiest to learn to speak in, but one of the hardest to learn to write it with whole correct grammar  P.S. If I'd be latgalian, then I would understand lithuanian much better, but I'm not Oh! I didn't know there was such a difference between the baltic languages. I thought they'd be pretty close. |

Those, who know both languages have always said they both are easy, but those are mostly people who live near the Lithuanian border. But the reason, why they know it is that they travel a lot over the border to supermarkets etc., because it's closer for them than going to one of the large cities in Latvia. I live around 60 km from Lithuanian border and I've only once been in Lithuania, so I haven't had a need to learn this language... And yes, that's one of the few myths about Baltic languages that they are really similar... As I said - for lithuanians it's easier to understand latvian, than for latvians to understand lithuanian  |

Especially that Lithuanians understand Latvians better than the other way round. |

First of all I thought "Oh, here we go again..."  But I still think if someone calls someone "f-word" and the derogatory use of "gay" then they shouldn't be allowed in... |

willsong He was the first one to contact us indeed but I guess he's changed his mind after all those things he wrote in our threads and anyway, all this could be enough not to accept him even if he still showedi nterest. So no, he is not the first one waiting on line. However, someone else had contacted us a long time ago asking to part for The Netherlands so we contacted this player. In case that person leaves soon or so, if nobody else contacted us earlier than you, you will be the next one to be considered
