Life / IS THERE NFL PROGRAMS IN POLAND [60]


Well, on one hand, the NFL is fast-paced, exciting, and entertaining; on the other, soccer is pretty much like watching old people bang (there's technically action, but not really.)

Life / IS THERE NFL PROGRAMS IN POLAND [60]

I miss the NFL as well (and baseball too!) I'm pretty bored by soccer, but handball can be pretty interesting. I'm sure the Super Bowl will be broadcast on SOME channel.

By the way, make sure you conjugate the verb "to be" correctly. (i.e. Are there NFL programs in Poland.)

Real Estate / How Much for an apartment to buy in poland? [10]

Places in Warsaw, especially in Ursynow (where' they're throwing up blocks left and right) are high too. But these are new, quality apartments and are much roomier and up to western standards.

Life / What do you live in, apartment, house, car? [19]

I live in a flat built in the communist times. The corners lack 90º and the walls have that nice "unfinished poured cement" texture. The linoleum floor has holes in it to reveal the concrete beneath and it generally disintegrating. Plus, the circuitry is less than stable.

But I do have a new fridge!

Life / Internet in Poland [8]

Don't use Orange with a Huawei 3G modem. I don't know if it's the modem or Orange, but it's right out ******.

News / Poland to ban Che Guevara image [55]

Che was a bit of a dick

**** Communism. **** it up its stupid *******.

Life / Love for Dangerous Dog Breeds in Poland [9]


That's muffed up.

Besides, chocolate is bad for dogs, Foo'!

Life / Must See Movies in Polish? [65]


I think it's more about the far-reaching effects of it, using personal relationships as a canvas.

I mean, how much execution can the audience bear? It's the shockwave of the event that ripples through, and one can see it through the different stories that are interwoven.

Life / Must See Movies in Polish? [65]

Good Polish Movies

I recently saw Mala Moskwa (you can read my full thoughts on it [polishmeknob.blogspot.com/2009/07/film-review-maa-moskwa.html])
To say the least, I was unimpressed. For a while now, I've been trying to find some Polish movies that are really good (I hear U Pana Boga is a quality flick.) I've recently downloaded Idealny Facet Dla Mojej Dziewczyny and To Nie Tak Jak Myslisz, Kotku, as well as scrounged up a copy of the venerable satire, Rejs, and will soon watch them.

Are there any suggestions of some really good Polish movies? (I have to admit, I'm rather picky. My favorite Polish movies are Ziemia Obiecana and Katyn (quality pictures), but I despised Pan Tadeusz.)

Life / Taking gifts to Poland [21]

Bring maple syrup or Reese's cups (even stuff like ginger ale.)

Work / Would it be hard to work in Poland if I don't speak Polish? [17]


You should be fine. Most educated people here speak English (with or without difficulty.) Being an engineer, you'd most certainly be dealing with people who speak at least a little English.

Food / Packet soups recommended or not [32]

I recommend them.
They're not nearly as good as the real thing, but they travel and ship well and are a pit of Poland when you're far away.

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


Your apparent lack of intelligence is quite annoying.
It's the name I use for my blog: polishmeknob.blogspot.com.

I can choose what ever name I wish.
If you take offense to it, it's your problem, not mine; I just don't care (but I don't really see HOW you could take offense to it.) If you think it's anything that's supposed to degrade Poland or Polish people, you're mistaken.

Since you are not actually contributing to this thread, but instead acting indignant (and rather stupidly) I must ask that you not add on to your idiocy. For someone accusing me of trolling or posting things off topic, you're quite the hypocrite.

If you wish to continue this discourse about my name/posting topics, please send me a message.

So please, unless you have anything useful to add and not the drivel you've been posting, please do shut up.

Anyway, I haven't seen that lady again; although, I do go to that bus stop frequently. Next time she comes, I'll inquire just what exactly her intentions are.

History / Gdansk and it's history with Poland [116]


The town was ethnically German long before that.

Travel / trendy clubs in warsaw ? [7]

I've only been to Club 70 (people have given me mixed opinions.) I was there for salsa night and they had free salsa lessons.

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


It's Polish forum with topics about Poland and Polish people; I kind of assumed that people would know she was Polish. Why would I post a random post about a girl that was not Polish or wasn't even in Poland?


It's a pun on "Polish", it comes from my school days when I was studying Polish.


No, just stupid people like you.

Life / Poland Vodka Production and alcohol drinking culture [16]

No one competes with Russia for drinking culture (48% of adult males die by alcohol-related deaths in Russia.)
I think Poland's vodka days are waning and beer is now the drink of choice.

Poland still guards its vodka traditions vehemently. They want to EU to regulate it, and declare that vodka can only be made from grains and potatoes (meaning that vodkas like Ciroc will no longer be able to be sold labeled as vodka.)

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]


Dear Upset Idiot,
This lady about which we speak was Polish and this event happened in Poland. Those two things are precisely why I started this thread.
I am not Polish and not entirely accustomed to Polish culture, especially courting rituals. I was hoping those who are more familiar with said part of culture would be able to shed more light on this event. I did not want to misunderstand her propositioning, so I posed this question: "Girl just interested or a hooker?" in hopes that it might be answered and stimulate some discourse. I put forth two hypothesis: that she was interested in me or that she might have been a sex worker. Since I am not familiar with those who work in the sex industry, or how they exactly ply their trade, AND since I am not accustomed to being actively wooed on the street, I couldn't exactly tell which was happening. As I stated before, I was hoping that other people in this forum could help me figure it out and decide.

Since this thread concerns an event that was obviously centered around romance-be it for sale or just for wont-it deserves to be in this section and it deserves to be discussed. If you are not interested in this thread you are neither obligated to read it, nor are you urged to make stupid, misinformed rants.

So?

Travel / Visit to Kazimierz Dolny , Poland [14]

I highly recommend this thread on the Polish countryside. I didn't write it, and I don't really agree with it, but I found the discussion in the comments quite interesting. It gets quite sharp and quite angry at some points.


I didn't say that it was bad, I just though that an afternoon was enough. I was also inquiring about other such towns, ones that might be hidden and off the beat track.

Travel / Visit to Kazimierz Dolny , Poland [14]


Yeah, Warsaw is tad gray. It's not too bad though.

I quite like the Polish countryside. I'm actually yearning for a small place in the country. A dzialka is probably the closest thing in the near future.

Travel / Visit to Kazimierz Dolny , Poland [14]

Merged: Kazimierz Dolny: An afternoon is enough.

I was rather disappointed by Kazimierz Dolny, Poland.

It is rather quaint in it's own way, but the museums are a rip-off (most everything thing there is, actually) and the hordes of tourists didn't make it any better. The castle is OK, as are the churches, but beyond that there really isn't that much.

The musicians are awful. The rooster bread is actually really good. The few restaurants I've been to there are very nice. U Fryzjera has really good food, but the service is terrible. Can read further here.

Are there any other towns "off the beaten path" that are worth a visit?

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]

Shrooms are for nubs. I prefer acid mainlined straight into my eyeballs.

Real Estate / Selling in poland, how do i get money to USA paying little or no taxes? [8]

Get it in cash and sew it into the liner of your suitcase or coat.

Or do a money transfer (through a Western Union.)

Life / Where to find BEEF in Warsaw ? [14]

There's plenty of good beef in Warsaw.

Travel / Student hostel in warsaw travel - good idea? [9]

My experience with Polish hostels is that they've been the best I've ever been to. Just practice normal precautions (like not leaving valuables lying around.)

History / Are Poles the ones who understand Russians better than anyone? [35]


Russians (and Slavs in general) originate from Ukraine.

Real Estate / Best investment land location close to Warsaw? [5]

There will be some Dzialki in Mokotow that will be freed up soon (they have to change some laws.) They'll probably go for pretty cheap (prime property that will skyrocket soon after.) Anyway, this is what my student tells me.

Love / My Perfect Love Story so I thought [73]

Ouch!!

Painful.

Well, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and life goes on. Shake it off and learn from it.

Love / Girl just interested, or a hooker? [30]

Ouch. So harsh.

She wasn't too bad. She didn't say anything, just stood there and kind of felt herself up while looking lustfully.
Tranny? Must've been some surgery.
