UK, Ireland / Inverness, UK - any polish restaurant in the area? [11]

Two years ago there was a place called Ziozel in Inverness which had Polish dished with a Scottish twist (game in the Bigos for example). It was good but I'm not sure whether it is there or whether there are any other places now. Ziozel was more of a cafe rather than formal restaurant

UK, Ireland / UK Internet in Polish [9]

That's fine thanks. I know the two people who I need to communicate securely with have the same software as me so encyption/decryption will be fine. I was just interested at a general level to find out if encryption standards and implementations had evolved to the point where different client software could be used at each end but based on common standards could support secure calls. I hope I haven't wasted your time Mr K

Good clarification of my rambling question.

I guess my question should have been about the need for encryption at the other end of the VOIP call. I understand that I can have encryption at my end but is there a need for similar software at the other end of the call and does it need to be the same software or are there standards that are supported by various encryption products. Or does encryption/decryption happen at the boundaries of the Internet. If so where are those boundaries. Are they just at the POP?

No questions on Priorities - I understand that area well. (I used to do a lot of work with early MPLS stuff).

Splendid. Can you tell me what, if any, encryption is applied for VOIP traffic?

Here is the web site URL for Polskie Radio Londyn. prl24.net

I presume the channel/frequency information is in there somewhere - but I can't read enough Polish to find it!

Travel / Warsaw-Poznan - Need a kind person to make a phone call for me! [3]

Hi Kate.

My Polish is not good enough to call for you but I do l know the on-line enquries sites quite well. Going out on the 6:25 and returning on the 16:30 came up with a price of 123ZL second class and 157Zl first class. This is subject to a compulsory reservation and a mysterious supplement. I'm sure others can explain these.

Hope this helps a bit.

Travel / 3 days in Krakow [5]

Oświęcim is 75km west of Kraków and is served by frequent buses (1.5hrs, 10-15zł) which leave from the station at ul. Bosacka (E-1) and two early trains (1,5hrs, 7zł) daily.

Some buses drop you off at Auschwitz Museum, others will leave you at Oświęcim train station from where local buses N°2, 3, 4, 5, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 (tickets at the kiosk, 1.20zł) go to the museum. The two camps are 3km apart. Buses leave for Auschwitz II - Birkenau every hour from the car park of Auschwitz I. Alternatively, take a taxi between the two for 10zł. Waiting minibus taxis run by Malarek Tours can take you back to Kraków - a group of eight would pay 25-35zł/person.

Most of the hotels will organise a round trip if you are prepared to pay more money.

Bryon

look at hotelspoland.com and you will get 4-5 pages of hotels in all price ranges. I have found them to be very competitive. For example at the weekends you could stay in virtually any hotel in Warsaw for the price range you specified.

Yeh just Churchill. At that time Roosevelt was just lying on a beach in Malibu having a cocktail ot two and had nothing to do with the decision on Russian occupation. It was all the Brits fault. Read the official records of the time and then start to argue FFS

Brits only? What about Rossevelt who overrode Churchill's misgiving about allowing the Russians free rein? Don't get me wrong, Britain did not support Poland well enough but for you to lay the balme entirely at our door is wrong.

Not true - see list below of RAF fighter pilots who took part in the Battle of Britain. That the Polish were good pilots and helped shape the tactics in aerial warfare is not in doubt. Me dad told me so!

Do you mean no alcohol - period or zero alcohol before driving?

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]

Arriving in a culture where drink driving is accepted by certain groups of people must have an influence upon recent immigrants. They probably would not do this at home. Raising awareness of our laws has to help in the longer term. Changing our drinking culture has to be the best solution though surely?
