UK, Ireland / Why Scotland doesnt Need any Immigrants By a Scotsman [56]

Is there a thread entitled Why Scotland doesn't need any Scots by an Immigrant by any chance?

We want home rule for England. There is a slight techncial problem finding enough NEETs who can count to tally up the votes. Perhaps we should outsource the counting.

Love / What are the best pick up spots in Warsaw? [24]

What are the best pick up spots in Warsaw?

There's a good one just outside the airport..... but don't leave your car unattended as it may be the subject of a controlled explosion

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]

Now it is the next morning and I curse them bloody Poles and their hospitality!.

Funny that. I'm thinking about some Irish people and some Jamesons in the same way. Last year it was 15 days before the last of them left post end Cheltenham. That was the record. Still four of them here today. They look settled. Off to the pub now.

History / Why communism failed in Poland? [275]

But seriously, communism wasn't all that bad

Not sure my wife would agree with that comment.

The central planning committee could keep all of the glorious workers of Detroit busy.

I thought Mr O was taking care of that ;)

Love / Why do Polish Women Think They Know Better? [134]

No. That title is privileged information. Wouldn't want to spice up the thread;)

good memory ...

No. vague memory, good googling...

Love / Why do Polish Women Think They Know Better? [134]

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

- Jane Austen

(it's the most recent riposte I can find)

Love / I need some advice about a Polish young lady. [21]

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Sounds like you need specialist advice from a cult advice centre such as the Cult Awareness and Information Centre. If she was happy and well adjusted before it sounds like a touch of reprogramming may be needed.

History / Why communism failed in Poland? [275]

communism is for all to be owners of production

Ah, we must all be shareholders then.

have say in how many thimbles or spitoons the commune produces for example.

And we must all sit on the Board of Directors too...

Where will the workers come from then? I know. We can import them from Central and Eastern Europe, pay them peanuts and exploit them. Just proves that commuinsm and capitalism are identical. Which leads credence to the wonderful paper that a young Szarlotka produced that proved that the The Theory of Perfect Competition and a centrally planned economy were one and the same. It was laughed at all those years ago but I always knew I was right. Now the whole world will acknowledge that fact.

Juche is my comrade in capitalism. This pleases me so I must away to erect a monument

leader always deserve some respect therefore Mercedes is nice for him

Surely all the people of the DPRK should have a Merc then? I mean that would be real communism wouldn't it? Traffic jams in capital might be a problem though.

not so if proper socialistic spirit is indoctrinated in young child from birth

Ah, so we must brainwash the young. What a wonderful world that would be.

Tell me Juche, Juche baby, does the DL live in the same conditions as his devoted people, or does he live in spendour and tootle around in a nice Mercedes?

History / Why communism failed in Poland? [275]

perhaps Ho Chi Minh is a good monument to build.

Ah, but that would not go down well in my capitalist commune village. I fear it would be vandalised by roaming gangs of barbour clad unemployed investment bankers. Perhaps I could put his statue in the tunnels instead. After all there was a track record of the real Ho spending time in tunnels no?

Back on track. Communism will always fail because of the inherent greed of the human race. Animal farm and all that.

History / Why communism failed in Poland? [275]

which is why every citizen is building tunnels

I was digging over the weekend. I started out digging a big hole to make a new pond and it got bigger and bigger as I liked using the digger. Do you think I should carry on and build some some sort of underground shelter. Also what sort of monument do you recommend for me to erect. A giant Koi carp perhaps or maybe a statue of Maggie Thatcher?

News / Oil in Poland [12]

What do you think will happen if oil is discovered in polish valleys or sea

We will invade Poland, install a puppet government and build better roads.

History / Why communism failed in Poland? [275]

It was standard thing in Britain too

There used to be a sign on a bridge over the River Stour in Dorset at a place called Longham that told you that if you damaged the bridge you would be deported to Oz. I think it said something to the effect that sheep worrying was a bit of a no no as well.

The edifice will finish soon despite logistic and supply problems caused unfair stranglehold imposed by American aggressors and their lackey puppets of South Korean Republic

i.e we ran out of cash.

Travel / What are you concerned about while planning a trip to Poland? [15]

1) Peacocks attacking me
2) Fearsome old ladies demanding payment for a wee
3) The exchange rate
4) Meeting some of my old customers to 'just go for a quick drink'
5) Finding out the bars and eateries have changed or been replaced by poofy wine bars with b list celebrities blowing air kisses
6) There is noooo rule 6
7) er that's it....

Law / Linux, Unix, and Open Source in Poland [119]

C++ is my favorite programming language.

The true OO bigots won't like that choice. Mind you we can ignore them as they'll be huddled in the corner making small talk;)

I'm intrigued to know how come a lawyer has such in depth knowledge of IT matters. That's a rare combination.

Law / Linux, Unix, and Open Source in Poland [119]

I'm a Linux addict, what can I say?

There is a cure I'm sure;)

I battled an addiction to assembler and even machine code for many years. I gradually weened myself from their deadly embrace. Today I'm 010100001 0101010 10101010

Real Estate / Interest Rates for Home loans In poland [39]

Visit Pyongyang and see the wave of the future.

By the time I could get an entry visa, I'd probably be dead. So I'll pass on that for now;)

News / Polish politician thrown off Lufthansa plane. Just enjoy. [60]

most Germans don't spend their nights how they can harass every hapless Pole they might encounter next day, believe it or not!

Another myth exploded;)

When someone can convince me what the behaviour of this guy REALLY was on the aircraft I'll make a judgement on the incident. Lots of newspaper reports, claims and countercalims as usual. If he was agressive, rude or plain old objectionable the crew are within their rights to boot him off.

To avoid a similar problem for yourselves in the future, only fly with Singapore Airlines.
