Feedback / a thank you to the creators of this great forum [13]

How many more 'hidden members' might there be?

No ********** at the back. No pun (filth) intended.

edit: I'm suprised an inoffensive word for quiet laughter (chuckling would have been okay?) gets blanked out, whereas the name of the English town Scunthorpe doesn't.

Travel / Going to Łomża, Poland for New Year, but how to get there? [28]

moral of the story is book well in advance

I thought it wasn't going to happen until I got an e-mail last night.
I had written to my hosts weeks and weeks ago, but until a response, I couldn't take the chance of booking when there might be no actual holiday.

more expensive not like usuall they are cheap on that site

I found the same flights on three different sites. I just went with the site that worked properly.
Their job can't be hard selling plane tickets. The thing they really need to get right is getting the information to you and making it easy to buy the tickets. Some sites wanted my name, e-mail address, shoe size and inside leg measurement just to do a search, so they can just flip off for starters.

even thoug I am cute cat and Polish

So bus to the bus station? Being a cute donkey won't do me any favours?

Booking a flight seems to be a pain in the proverbial. You can go through step after step, then it says "System error. Please try later." Other sites I've found are all more expensive. Grrrrrrr.

Travel / Going to Łomża, Poland for New Year, but how to get there? [28]

£omża ... take bus or taxi in Warszawa

Cool! A serious response.

I found the coach journey from Poland to the UK far too long for my liking, so plane looks like a better choice.
Will there be a good service at that time of year, or should I bring a unicycle or something for that last leg of the journey just to be on the safe side?

edit: How many times has the title of this thread changed?
The word donkey appeared a while ago, but then went away again.
Will it return?

Maybe if I build a donkey-shaped submarine, it will just look too cute and friendly to look like it poses any kind of threat. Having said that, the Russians might catch me, open up the submarine, only to find a smaller donkey inside. Then they might think there is some kind of Russian doll thing going on, thus putting me at more risk when they go looking for the even smaller donkey inside that.

So bus it is then.
Perhaps.

What about swiming ?

Doggie paddle.

Down the River *** to the North Sea, across to between Sweden and Denmark (I like the name Skagerak), keep going up the Baltic and look out for somewhere on the right that looks Polish.

hope you manage to achieve this :D

Where there's a will, there's a way.

maybe they can provide you with the train/bus connection info

Possibly. I don't want to be too much of a burden. Also, the internet is a powerful tool these days.

Ever seen a donkey on a coach? No?
Ever seen a donkey on an aeroplane? No?
Ever seen a donkey cross Europe on a bicycle? Maybe?
Donkeys don't have thumbs, so hitchhiking is definitely out of the question.
Or is it?

I've left it a bit late for booking, but I want to get to £omża sometime between Christmas day and New Year's Eve. I'm sure there are coaches from the United Kingdom to £omża, but by plane? Warsaw, then bus?

I assume that the earlier I can book, the better.

I'm not an experienced traveller if you hadn't guessed.

Language / Your Funniest / Strangest / Sadest Moments with the Polish Language [63]

maybe rather one of your ears?

I'd have thought your floppy ears would be more likely to stop the sound getting through.

Warning: let's not go off-topic. That way, the world will enjoy these humourous anecdotes and maybe even learn something from some of these cautionary tales.

UK, Ireland / Anti-Polish sentiment of England [253]

The English don't like anybody

How's it goin' me ol' mate?

The English are arrogant clowns

Oh! You don't like us? Never mind.

Just like you stereotype all Americans as fat and stupid?

I don't. Only a few of them are fat enough to be seen all the way across the Atlantic.

Feedback / It won't let me post a follow-up message after my own message [11]

Admin? Mod?
What does this mean?

Sorry, you cannot post a new message in this thread since you are still the last poster in this thread and could still edit this message. Please use the Edit function if you want to edit your last message.

edit: That worked, but it won't let me post a follow up message.
Am I just being a donkey or what?

VERY BIG EDIT:
This is not straight after another message. It's about two hours or more since the last one which was on a different thread entirely.

smaller edit:
Looks like I'm not the only one.

ADMIN, did you change my topic title? It's now got the wrong title.

Edit # 6
I made one post in a thread I had been trying to post in, but elsewhere (where I'm not the last poster), it still came up with the same error message.

Edit # 5

- the user is still the last poster in this thread.

I hadn't posted in the thread I tried posting in, and I haven't been trying to post twice successively in the same thread.

Edit # 4
This is the grooviest edit yet. I'm highlighting instances of the word edit and the numbers that follow.

Edit # 3
This edit is just a re-ordering of the previous edits! I'm putting new stuff at the top instead now.

Edit # 2

Its not just Osiol and Celinski, somethings gone major Fubar I just thought I'd bring up another thread to let the admin know this isnt a one off. then you can scrap it :)

That's the way it seems.
Maybe I'll get a record number of edits on one post before the problem is solved!
That's seeing the silver lining around the cloud.

Then edit that last post that you really did make.

Edit # 1:
It looks like 'hello' and 'rafik' can post, while others can't
Mods! Any luck with that test?

And flippin' 'eck! Michal can post!

Life / Threadmill Bicycle - popular in Poland? [7]

It looks like it could do with a reverse gear.

Zorbing.

On their map, they've got the Czech republic somewhere in the far west of Ukraine.
How far can you go when you're stuck inside a giant hamster ball?

News / Polish people (and language) spreading all over the world? [25]

It is political dominance more than number of people that spreads a language around the world.

last minute addition to this post:
I have heard non-Polish people in the UK using Polish. I imagine if you are a lone-Lithuanian amongst a team of Polish people working together, you need to find a way to communicate.

Language / 'w' - difference between accusative+locative [18]

Doesn't it depend on whether the first letter of the following word is voiced or not?

And isn't it 'wy' before complicated consonant clusters?
What makes a consonant cluster difficult other than just being in Polish anyway?
