So then I'll get jobs from there! And you'll get my > gratitude and I'll have respect for Norway and Poland ;) Well, I don't have a translator job, either. And I have a friend who is a translator, and it seems this job sucks more and more these days... (Easy commissione are gone because of Google Translator; rates have been the same for about 20 years, not even raised according to inflation...) > Actually I already have that.

Actually, we saved Europe twice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vienna, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1920)), helped save England (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._303_Squadron_RAF), helped save at least Eastern Europe once (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II#Role_in_the_fall_of_Communism), helped the Allies at least twice (not counting the Battle of England - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monte_Cassino, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma)... > Sweden ... once super-militaristic, armed-to-the-teeth, then > and still one of the riches countries in the world LOL Actually, we also fought Swedes once (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_(history)).
