Po polsku / 12 potraw czy nieparzysta liczba? [13]

To znaczy że ktoś ma w nosie ile potraw pojawia się na stole wigilijnym. :):):):)
Tak jak u nas: dopiero dzisiaj policzyłem że mieliśmy do wyboru 4 potrawy. Czasami jest 5, zależy jak żonie się chce gotować. Nie liczę ciast.

Krótko mówiąc: przerzucanie się liczbami w czas Wigilii to jakiś obłęd.

Life / Why is Polish Christmas on the 24th? [87]

You can fast and still engage in various sins of flesh, one doesn`t exclude the other.

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]


Why not?

Today, I had carp at school mock Christmas Eve. My portion was smaller than my neighbour`s, that`s unfair! Why am I always disadvanteged?

Plus, I bought 3 fish which are now racing the bathtub.

Travel / Poland traffic signs are confusing.. Do you agree? [30]


Common sense which became a rule. Comeon, show some common sense.

This thread is about traffic signs.

The topic of Polish roads is here: Are Polish roads really this bad?

Travel / Traveling around Poland - our photo stories with very personal commentary [225]

Shyt, I haven`t been in the mood for showing new photos because I thought hardly anybody is interested.

But if you are, I will go on.

What about tomorrow? The schools have broken up for Christmas holiday so I will have more time at my disposal.

Travel / Poland traffic signs are confusing.. Do you agree? [30]


No.

Well, yes, sometimes, when travelling 700 km from Krakow to the seaside, I do encounter five or six misleading signs. And my GPS goes crazy a few times, too.

It is a European rule.

USA, Canada / If America is so bad, why move here? [254]


Oh, shyte! Thanks for this crucial info!

Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]


I never tip because I don`t frequent premises where tipping is expected. I once worked in a luxurious restaurant and the things I saw there put me off visiting such places.

Life / Poles hard working or just born lazy. [58]


Yes, it is my work ethos. And I am a Pole.

USA, Canada / If America is so bad, why move here? [254]


If you think it is fekking trivial, you are fekking wrong!

The Washington state ferry service isn't going to start turning away hefty passengers, but it has had to reduce the capacity of the nation's largest ferry system because people have been packing on the pounds.

More here: guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/10007248

It means that next time I am in US, I might have a problem with boarding a ferry from NYC to Staten Island because of obese Americans. That will be a real nuisance.

Love / I have a crush on a Polish boy ~ [15]



When in high school, I gained a girlfriend after she told me on the phone: I am calling to inform you that you are inviting me to the cinema. That was a very pleasant relationship, but ended after 6 months when she was too reluctant to give me the proof of love. :):):)

OK, I am joking now, to be honest, I don`t remember why it ended. :):):)

Po polsku / Niedouk czy co? [68]

Chyba będę lepszy. Wprawdzie SAAB zbankrutował ale Volvo trzyma się mocno. Jak mocno? Tak mocno jak Chincyki które trzymają Volvo:

Volvo Car Corporation – szwedzkie przedsiębiorstwo produkujące samochody osobowe o nazwie Volvo, należące do Geely Automobile.
Od 1999 roku Volvo należało do Ford Motor Company. W dniu 29 marca 2010 roku przedsiębiorstwo zostało sprzedane chińskiej firmie, za kwotę 1,8 mld dolarów[1].

Od połowy 2008 roku zaczęły się pojawiać informacje o tym, że firma Geely prowadzi rozmowy z koncernem Ford Motor Company na temat możliwości odkupienia firmy Volvo. Ostatecznie, Volvo zostało nabyte za cenę 1,8 miliarda dolarów. Stało się to faktem 29 marca 2010 roku[1].

Po polsku / Niedouk czy co? [68]


Czy świadomie nie wymieniłeś Szwecji czy tak Ci się wypsło?

Więc poczytaj sobie mądralo o wyprzedawaniu majątku narodowego i przestań wreszcie bredzić. Kapitalizm to kapitalizm - przedsiębiorstwo przynoszące straty nie nadaje się do gospodarki wolnorynkowej. Kto będzie je utrzymywać? Ty?

moto.onet.pl/1654376,1,saab-wystepuje-do-sadu-o-ogloszenie-bankructwa,artykul.html?node=6

Associated Press pisze, że szwedzki sąd zapewne szybko zaaprobuje wniosek o ogłoszenie bankructwa Saaba i wyznaczy syndyka masy upadłościowej.
Z powodu zadłużenia i braku pieniędzy produkcja w głównych zakładach Saaba w Trollhaettan stoi od kwietnia. Od końca listopada Saab nie ma środków na wypłatę poborów swym 3500 pracownikom w Trollhaettan. Ma też olbrzymie długi u poddostawców.

Love / My reaction to a thread against foreigners marrying Polish girls [37]

I see.
So ,when are you coming to Poland to marry a Polish girl, EU citizen, and receive the Polish and EU passport?

Language / Why are Happy Easter & Merry Christmas the same in Polish [26]

This discussion reminds me of our History of Brit Literature lecturer who, while discussing some English poem, complained that such a beautiful word as gay got so corrupted. :):):)

PS. I have dug out my old indexbook to recover the professor`s name - dr P. Vernon. I liked him for his unorthodox attitude.

Language / Why are Happy Easter & Merry Christmas the same in Polish [26]


Only as No 3 explanation:

1. cheerful; jolly
2. very funny; hilarious
3. Brit informal slightly drunk
4. Archaic delightful


Why not?

Real Estate / Is Wincentego Pola, 30-001 Kraków a good area [5]

Don`t worry about the safety.

Parking your car might be a problem, though, unless you rent an underground garage. The streets in pre-war districts are narrow and crowded.

Real Estate / Is Wincentego Pola, 30-001 Kraków a good area [5]


My grandmother lived nearby. It is inner city (without negative connotations), with pre-war tenement houses

and modern apartment blocks too.

Very dense architecture but close to the Main Square, that is why can be quite expensive.

Food / A Polish dish with peas and eggs [18]


It reminds me how my mother served the dish to us when I was 10 or sth. I was looking at that stuff in disbelief for about 20 minutes, pouring spirit vinegar onto it every 2 minutes, according to mum`s advice, hoping it would dissolve that awful jelly. Urged to start eating, I took the first bite of it and immediately threw up. That act excused me and my sister from having it. Never ever again did our mom commit such a grave mistake.

Come on guys, jelly combined with meat is so revolting I cannot comprehend how one may eat it. I prefer eating the whole elephant brain to one fekking little meat jelly.

Love / Polish wife making more money than husband - does it bother you? [20]

It bothers me because it makes me drink more than normal. It is unhealthy.

Language / Why are Happy Easter & Merry Christmas the same in Polish [26]


You are a really happy person to have such problems.

Now, can you explain sth to me? Why do the English language speakers use two different adjectives for Christmas and Easter? It isn`t normal, is it ?

Food / A Polish dish with peas and eggs [18]


Aaah, this one! yes, I know it. I misunderstood this dessert context :

I fully agree. I never liked any kinds of jelly.

Food / A Polish dish with peas and eggs [18]

Never heard of such a dish. Would like to see it.

History / Military question (branch of service, POland 1920-30) [4]

I tried to do a little research, they look like ulans/mounted soldiers but am not sure. You need to ask in the military forum, Identyfikacja section, where guys drop in with identification cases:

History / Are there still communists in Poland? [58]


Did you consult a specialist as I advised you to doa few weeks ago? It seems your condition is deteriorating. When you saw things in the past, we joked about it but now it has evolved into a serious problem. I am really worried.


The guy`s imagination is too vivid. Is it due to overdose or underdose?

Study / Racism in Czestochowa? I'm a black student from France. [14]

No, there isn`t because they worship the Black Madonna of Częstochowa.

Black Madonna Czestochowa
Queen of Poland
9 inches high
Hand painted Gypsumstone & resin plaque
$35.00

Strange you don`t know about it. My sensitive nose smells a rat. Are you a white troll who is pretending a black troll?

Po polsku / Książka pani Wałęsowej? [15]

Bardzo celne uwagi. Szacun dla ciebie.

Kiedyś Ziobro był w naszej szkole, zaproszony przez nauczyciela - pisowskiego działacza. Też mówił o karze śmierci. To żałosne, ale Ci ludzie chcą być bardziej papiescy od papieża.

Parę wieków temu tacy jak on tworzyli Inkwizycję.
Boże, chroń Polskę przed nimi, bo nie wiedzą co czynią.
