are you seeing a significant difference in price between old apartments that need refurbishing and those that have already been done to make this worth your while?

in the tri city the price variations are becoming so close that once you have factored in the costs of refurb the margins are often not worth the effort

i hope you prove me wrong


people ive spoken to about it have expressed suprise that ive been to krakow but never visited auschwitz but like you, i have absolutely no desire to be reminded of the horrible things people do to each other


its not the words puzzy, its the upset that they cause and, so far, i dont think i have bullied or offended anyone off the forum

this is what i believe - polands future is with the new generation - not those from the communist era or those who have little connection with poland other than an ancestor - leave the anger, pain and suffering in the past, dont put it on the present becasue they will take it into the future


then people need to stop interferring and proecting their bitter memories and resentments, things have changed and people are trying to move on to a bright, prosperous future

she misenterpreted something i wrote and jumped to a conclusion - as poles on here seem to do - and made a comment on it. rather than go thru the rigmarol of telling her she made a mistake and then getting the uppity reply that always seems to follow i decided to re-enforce her incorrect view

dwelling on the past does not a brighter future make - put the past behind you and move on


i doubt any one gives a fly fuk if you give the low down on me - i certainly dont and doubt very much you could say anything i would give a second glance

youre a bitter old woman carol with very little to live for except the past - fuk knows what your future looks like but i doubt it will be of any benefit to poland

what a quandary... much as i would like to disagree and call you the slime of the earth i do think you are actually right


of course poland needs a strong government, but not one which is going to damage its place in europe and the eu - polands last government was making it the laughing stock - lets hope this one takes a more positive approach


damn thats twice ive agreed with you - better call your mum a crack ho before people start getting the wrong idea
