News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]


Ah yes, of course you are right. In Warsaw it was meant to be a symbol of peace and tolerance. That is why is continuously burned down by far-right pond life. TVTrwam sees as the invasion of Satan himself. Our Labrador has a far higher IQ and tolerance as them.

Could that because even if PIS they are starting to see Macieriwicz is completely nutters?
The fact that the right is starting to break up is good of course. I heard a few times from friends in journalist circles that Rydzyk is greatly irked by the support JK supposedly is giving to TV Republika (which is of course direct competition to his media group.


The rainbow is used worldwide as a symbol for the gay movement.

Even more that the attack on the Russian embassy was in clear violation of the Vienna Agreements which guarantee that embassy grounds (and diplomatic personnel) are not part of the country they are in and cannot be trespassed. But then these morons cannot be suspected of having which basically look as an IQ.

Interesting though that - as far as I can see - PIS kept his distance from them these years...No declarations that the kibol scum were true patriots, separate demonstration a day before....Only TVTrwam was always poisonous.

Life / Living in Poland since 2010 and I still don't have ID. Advice needed please. [50]


I think there is still an issue with foreigners buying agricultural land, or a second property, but I am not sure.
The OP's story is very weird...as other people mentioned here, as a EU citizen you are entitled to a 'Karta Pobytu'. They cannot refuse you "meldowanie" and "karta pobytu"

Only to get permanent residence status, you will have to wait 5 years.
Of course...if you are non-EU...the whole picture changes.

I am very glad I have a Belgian license which does not expire.

Seems to me you would be the perfect spokesman for Hoser.

Such as publicising paedophilia in the Polish RC? Which of course TV Trwam, Nasz Dziennik and W Sieci have never heard of.

News / Poland to (temporarily) restore internal Schengen borders [15]


Central Europe is a definition and it exists. Mitteleuropa exists and not only on ancient railway carriages. It corresponds in a big way with the Visegrad idea.

Central Europe connects sociologically, culturally, historically to Western Europe.

Law / Moving to Poland - How do I get the Polish Identity Card [17]


But in my situation - Cyfra+ in Poland (I think these French thieves are now named N+) and in Belgium we have TV Vlaanderen (also from the same French thieves). They both originate from the same parent company, Cyfra+. But they use a different satellite.And in Flanders Cyfra+ has BBC in their package and in Poland not, because the satellite does not allow it

Law / Moving to Poland - How do I get the Polish Identity Card [17]


I always thought that UK broadcasts are on the edge or beyond of transmissions in Poland. I have a dish with a dual receiver, allowing receiving Cyfra+ and my Flemish TV (each using a different satellite, but basically the same operator). Always, since I moved to Poland, wanted to receive BBC, but somehow it always escaped me. Always got told I need dish of NSA size.

Work / Is it hard to get a work permit in Poland? [43]


and which homeland would that be ?

Work / Is it hard to get a work permit in Poland? [43]

Maybe :) But it also sounds as real-estate marketeer language :) (or something what inyourpocket might write). No, I find £ódż scruffy, dusty, rundown, chaotic. Piotrkowska does not impress me at all. Pilsudskiego? What is so marvellous about that street? I am always glad to be on PolskiBus back home to Warsaw in the late afternoon.

Work / Is it hard to get a work permit in Poland? [43]

I find £ódż very scruffy. OK, Manafaktura is a good go...but it seems to be a city in permanent stay of decay. I am there very often for my job (nope, no teaching involved), using public transport frequently and somehow the people on the buses and trams look somewhat "rundown"...sorry English is not my native language, hard for me to describe it. In Flemish we would tell "marginal people". Also very hard to pinpoint a real town centre. Piotrkowska is just that..a 5km long street. Maybe the nightlife is OK, though I hear from colleagues at work it is not entirely safe, and many bus & tramlines are "dubious" after nightfall, when the pondlife appears.

Nope, not my city at any given time.

Work / Is it hard to get a work permit in Poland? [43]

Being £ódż, I guess it is or Infosys or Nordea. In this case did they take you on for your language skills, in this case Arabic? In that case I should not worry too much.

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]


Although there are quite a few "Frytkie Belgijskie" who a very decent job. There are two ones near ul. Szpitalna here in Warsaw who are really good, and there is Renesans on ul Francuzka in Saska Kępa.

Law / International student from Poland traveling to Norway on Karta Pobytu? [54]

I do no doubt this is a reputable establishment. But question: why would a Nigerian come to study in Poland of all places? He could for example do that in South Africa or his own country?

Law / International student from Poland traveling to Norway on Karta Pobytu? [54]


OK but then he is a Nigerian "studying" on a dodgy Polish private "university" - which name he does not want to tell - and pretends he will "visit" Norway as a "tourist".

I wonder why he is not "studying" in Africa somewhere. Boy, these private "universities" in Poland do make a healthy profit like that.

Travel / Incorrect passport date on boarding pass [13]

Look at it this way. How would the border Gestapos in JFK react in such a case?

Travel / Travel by bus/train from Warsaw to Gdansk without prior reservation? [18]


This is not completely true. Przewozy Regionalne and TLK belong to different operators, and their respective tickets are only valid on their own trains.
And if you with a TLK ticket want to board an IC train, you will have to pay extra, because the pricing is different.


I already paid often by card on an IC.

Travel / Travel by bus/train from Warsaw to Gdansk without prior reservation? [18]


Hmm...I didn't know this. Although on regional trains (Przewóż Regionalny) such as between £ódż and Warsaw you can only pay cash.

Travel / How does wizz air compare with ryanair? [32]


Pilots already reported that Ryanair puts pressure on them to take the minimum qty of fuel. And there are confirmed stories of Ryanair planes having to land on another airport in Spain because they were flying on fumes.

Travel / Travel by bus/train from Warsaw to Gdansk without prior reservation? [18]


PolskiBus does only accept online reservations. My wife returned from a trip to Białystok last week, and wanted to catch PolskiBus, but despite the fact that the coach was half-empty the driver told he could not help her.

I do like the company though, I take the coach to £ódż often and cannot complain about them. I have never used them long distance.

Furthermore Harry, travelling by Intercity (as to Gdańsk) requires a reservation, TLK in 1st class as well, and TLK in 2nd class as well on certain routes.

Though you can of course buy a ticket from the conductor - but then it could be you have to move a few times during the trip if other passengers want to take their reserved seat.

Travel / How does wizz air compare with ryanair? [32]


Exactly. Wizzair allows 32 kgs of hold luggage, which is a lot more as Ryanair. Also never heard stories about them like about Ryanair, e.g. planes having to make emergency landings because they ran out of fuel.

Travel / How does wizz air compare with ryanair? [32]


I am actually in favour. If only because then you can take a seat far away from them. I have nothing against children, but nothing is so torturing as a crying baby in the seat near you.

Travel / How does wizz air compare with ryanair? [32]


Strange. I am flying with WizzAir on the Warsaw-Eindhoven route minimum once per month. They always announce to parents with small children to come forward on the gate check-in. Great airline though, not comparable to these Irish gangsters.

Genealogy / How can I find out where someone is buried in Poland? [3]

If you would know which parish she lived in (if you would know the street or dzielnica she lived in, it should be possible to find the parish), and the contact the local priest. He should be able to check his records - even if it was from before his time.
