I don't believe it, I'm getting a dressing down from the Goering of Masterussian himself.

And 'this is a border..'? Well that's why I compared it with experience in other countries...
In other countries people like to lick the foreign visitor's posterior. We don't. We like to patience torture them. Before you enter the Cave of Wonders you must prove your worthiness.
OK, I retract my former statement about poor form, you're clearly in fine fettle.

Climate? In bloody Stavropol?
My experience runs to three cities actually, the others being Moscow and Izhevsk. Oh and Pyatigorsk, but that don't really count, one night

Fffffwhat? Doors in the podyezd? And what the hell is a podyezd? If memory doesn't fail me "podyezd" is a stretch of road leading to a building. What doors can there be? You must be raving. "Doors" in fences are called "gates" or "qualitki" in Russian.

[quote:2s4m4psk]but what's probably the real difference is that many people have double doors, sometimes reinforced with all sorts of things, at the actual entrance to their apartments.
Hmm, I don't know anyone with a double door let alone a metal one. Are you sure you can tell an apartment from a bank? Or perhaps it was a prison cell? I used to live opposite prison, now I live opposite my home...

Hehe that was also very good that bit about the prison, but tell me what on earth did you mean about 'now I live opposite my home'

A seemingly innocent lie like that can easily damage my country's reputation. Therefore I will counter your every attempt at spreading them. It's amazing how my absense has made the usual anti-Russian sentiment endemic to this forum stronger than ever.
Well I can only wish you well on your heroic crusade against windmills.. sorry I mean err lies or err what was it you were against?
