Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

Have you ever been in Warsaw? Do you know the independence march route?

Do you live in Poland...or in Warsaw? Defending your ONR scummie friends again, are you? Aha, perhaps they are freedom fighters...I missed that point.

Food / Where to buy British mature Cheddar Cheese and salted butter in Poland? [289]

That would be double the price though, at around 12PLN for 200g instead of about 6PLN. For people like me, that's quite a lot more to pay on a regular basis and hurts the old pocket.

That's indeed not cheap. Speaking about cheese and Lidl...They used to sell Dutch Gouda cheese in chunks which was quite good (it even tasted like cheese, which cannot be said from the majority of the cheese sold in Lidl). Sadly I do not see it anymore on the shelves.

Language / Frustrated Polish Learner -- people in Poland try to speak to me in English [31]

In that case, you must speak it perfectly.

A2/B1 is not perfect, far from it. What I still have problems with though is the "language"used by US, NFZ, ZUS...It seems to come from another planet. But then, for my (Polish) wife their correspondence is also hard to understand.

Food / Coffee in Poland: cheap and undrinkable / expensive and good [89]

Merged: Coffee in Poland

Since I moved to Poland ages ago, I always have had an issue with coffee in Poland - not the Starbucks invasion, but the one you buy in the shop.

Or you have the cheap (and equally disgusting) Jacobs, Tchibo etc...or you have the idiotically expensive Lily, Lavazzo etc...
But there is nothing in between. I always stock up when I am back home in Belgium. Costs half price as compared to Poland, much better quality.

USA, Canada / Indian citizen working in Poland want to apply for US student visa [3]

Translation: You tried to sneak into the EU via Poland. The idea was afterwards to sneak into the US.
Questions: 1. Why didn't you apply for a US visa straight from India (because you would be refused, point-blank? ) 2. Why are you getting tired from Poland? Could it be that you realize your Polish working visa entitles you just that...working in Poland? 3. Did you perhaps "study" at a Polish "university" before? 4. Why not study back home in India...or in Singapore...Malaysia...

Travel / Ryanair flying domestic in Poland? [46]

Ah, thanks a lot for the information :)

Also after March there are no Ryanair domestic flights available...I wonder if they exist somehow?

Travel / Ryanair flying domestic in Poland? [46]

Did somebody here already fly with Ryanair on domestic routes in Poland. Supposedly they fly from Warsaw to Wrocław and Gdańsk. But I was looking for tickets, and whatever date I filled in, nothing came up.

Life / Do Polish children have a typical bedtime? [11]

Each flat I've lived in here has had problems at night of some sort

In our kamienica here in Bielany, Warsaw, there is a very clear sign "Cisza Nocna 22:00 - 06:00", which in general well observed.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

Watch out sobieski and do not insult people you insolent curl.

I do not insult people.I remark on brainless, IQ-less, brain-dead morons who (apologize to our family Labrador) have no idea what the word tolerance means. Hence they burnt the rainbow. You stand for a kind of Poland which 70% does not accept. Even worse, as far as I know you do not even live here, do not pay taxes here, so you should shut up and join your redneck buddies for a cosy lynching.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

Read yesterday that the police most likely will issue an arrest warrant for the organizer of the Hitlerjugend march. Serves him right. I hope they will empty his bank accounts to pay for the damage caused. What also was delightful news is that they are starting to arrest increasingly numbers of IQ-less morons who took part in the HJ march. One already got fined 1000 PLN and 3 months' jail.

Still it baffles me how incompetent the Polish police is in controlling this nazi scum.
It does not take much. Only resolve, dogs, gas, water cannons, helicopters and horses.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

Did the police arrested anybody who are they?

Yes they did. It is one of your ONR buddies.

The capital court decided yesterday on a provisional arrest for 22-year-old Kamil Z. He had set fire to the gatehouse at the rear of the Russian Embassy.

Setting fire to the police guard booth at the back of the embassies of Russia, Spacerowa Street is the most serious incident during the March of Independence, which on Monday passed through the streets of Warsaw.

It burned not only shed and gazebo garbage in the neighboring building, but also someone threw stones and flares into the Russian base. People were pressing at the gate, some tried to climb the fence. Hundreds chanted obscene slogans: "Ruska to ...", applauded, did take pictures on the background of flames.

According to the police and prosecutors fire under the booth (and in the gazebo) planted a 22-year-old Kamil Z. This is coming from Warsaw University of Life Sciences student Radomsko, a staunch supporter of 4 League RKS Radomsko and activist of the local branch of the ONR.

Have been burned already five times, seems that people do not like it. Hover ruling dummies are using taxpayers money to rebuild those nonsensical installations.

The ONR nazis do not like it. The sight of the burning rainbow with these flag-carrying fascists in front of them, is identical as the Hitlerjugend burning books in Germany befoere the war.

Travel / Ryanair cut charges. Poles to take advantage? [20]

Seriously, I've only used Ryanair twice and none of the horror stories I'd heard came true. I

Well, give me WizzAir anytime. And they fly from Okęcie, not from Modlin, which makes a big difference. Plus, their (paid) baggage allowance is much better, 32 kgs..

Law / De-registering as foreigner in Poland? [5]

I would (in my Belgian legalistic mind) go everywhere to de-register. If only to get the necessary paperwork to use in the country you are going to.

But it wouldn't it be wise to keep a meldunek in Poland, just in case? With a friend or so?

Travel / Getting from Krakow to Warsaw [99]

It is often worth having a look at the LOT website, sometimes plane tickets are not much higher as these for the Intercity. And you from airport to airport directly.

Trainwise, go for TLK, cheaper as Intercity.

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

I see it as a proof of a young generation being without leadership and good culture and nobody trying to FIX the problem,

I have two of them here at home (well, at least sometimes) of the female kind. They did not feel the urge to set a rainbow on fire on Monday, let alone destroy the city. But I suppose they are misguided or even worse, got the wrong education? Our daughters thought it was Nazi scum, completely lacking any form of what could call human intelligence.
