News / Should Poland acquire the atomic bomb? [28]
Well, they played their card beautifully again. I don't know who else spotted it but they selected China and Russia to enrich their fuel. Hmm...what could America and Britain say to that? They also selected France who have been vociferously opposed to Iran's program in the past. France is out of range so who knows what they will do.

Who says that Iran can? They are cooperating and inspectors can verify that.

Hardly an obsession in my case, just an observation. British teeth, who on earth picked up on this? Some have good teeth and some don't.

Exactly. Poland is not as rife with drugs as Britain is. Granted, they are here but you need to dig that bit deeper. Not that I know the scene inside out but most Poles stick with alcohol.

Scrappy, Brits are just as chunky as their American counterparts these days so we can't say much. Bad teeth? Hmm...dunno, not as bad as some Japanese teeth.

You know, even łazanki can be. It is soft and has that comforting taste. When hungry, you can wpierdalasz it quite easily :)

Thanks Shelley :)
I remember having to hightail it out of Gwarek as 4 'karki' saw me dancing with one of their girls. The little bi*ch didn't tell me she was taken and then she whispered in my ear that her husband was watching her. Oops! I guess it was just a set-up as they didn't come running after me. One started to move towards me so I just left, pronto!
You never know who knows who in such clubs and you can't count on bouncer protection. If it was Gramofon and 3 guys started sth with me, I'd feel fine as I know the 2 bouncers there. One is 125kgs and can press A LOT of weight. He's the kind of guy that can throw you away with one arm. The other is a BJJ champion and could break your arm in seconds. I wonder where my other student works now. I was a bouncer with him too for one night, good fun!

Life / Polish bureaucracy - it went to a new level, they ask to pay for search [21]
I remember trying to get a document from East Kilbride. I had to provide a fossilised password which I couldn't remember. They wouldn't allow me anything without it and I had already given it 3 times to the same woman. I made multiple calls and it was just a blank that day. It happens! Sticklers for procedure. I appreciate the need for safety but she knew who I was. The call was monitored and, rather than opt for practicality, she opted for sticking by the anally-retentive procedures.
Yeah, stamps really solve problems here. In Japan, they have a hanko (personal stamp) and Poland has followed suit. Signatures can be forged but having both gives added guarantees/protection.
Also, the Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) set-up in Scotland is terrible. You really have to put yourself in the picture in Scotland, otherwise you are out on your ear and spending the rest of your time chasing shadows. Getting rejections for jobs that I wasn't even that interested in got boring.

Love / Do not marry Polish woman [212]
Men often forget that golden word, NO. They put themselves on the ball&chain half the time. I entered into marriage fully aware of the attendant risks. Getting a woman with low cheating potential is important.

You just need the right cues and for people to give off the right body language. I'm not that good at it either, largely because I don't want to be. I have no interest in chatting up women given that I am married. Guys, well, I have plenty chatting time in class and dislike drunken morons.
Mikey, what do you like doing?

Any places in and around the rynek and you will strike up some conversation. Gramofon, Kontrabas, Gwarek, Hemingway and the Warka bar are all on or around the rynek. Very rowdy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Can you speak Polish? Are you a pure American or....?

Exactly, it's a case of knowing the procedures and how they work. We have to accept that Poland operates differently. Some of the bureaucracy in Scotland is terrible.

Well, there was the bare minimum of fuss at the wedding. Limited logistical formalities and done/dusted quickly.
The same as getting the marriage process expedited, hassle free. Still, it depends on the procedure, of course.

What Poles tend to conveniently forget is that they had communistic factions in their ranks NOT through imposition. Take Cyrankiewicz, for example. The guy was in power for more than 20 years and was an active communist. There were many more like him.

Many members of the Polish public talk a good game but I doubt if they could do any better.
That's a good question to which I have no answer. Tusk likely had a glossy manifesto, full of florid terms and enabling measures designed to give more voice to the people but who knows, right?
