Nope. Minks are larger.


Yes, weasel. It is so fascinatingly small - probably the smallest carnivorous mammal in the world.

Its cousin is a bit bigger:

Yes, but the youth weren`t bored - the show by birds of prey was fascinating.

Partly answered, already.

A bit. :):):)


Yes. I didn`t see it because was busy with sth else when suddenly my son reported that the man found himself on the rocky ground in front of his bike.

The trail was extrememely hard, indeed.

Next:

Did I show this pic already?

You are an optimist! :):):)


ooops, I hope this black scenario won`t take place.


Are you serious or kidding because I don`t know. :):):)


My father in law has one too. But he votes PO because he wants to see his grandchildren in the future. :):):):):):):):):)
That was a silly joke, sorry.


How can you be so unwise? Don`t you realise they are the best coalition partner for PO? It is elementary, Watson. :):):)

Law / Is having private students in Poland legal? Or a registration as self-employed is required [30]


You need to reach certain minimum to pay VAT. Teaching English in private doesn`t allow it.

Real Estate / Is there any chance I would be able to reclaim my grandfathers old house in Ostrolenka? [17]


I am afraid it was destroyed during WW2:

Right. It is a breach of freedom to vote or not to vote.

Hey, how about a little prediction game? What do you think the final results will be? Let`s see whose guess will hit bullseye.

Mine:

PO - 34%
PiS - 29%
SLD - 12%
PSL- 7%

The rest 18% will be taken by sofa parties which won`t make it, though, through the minimum to enter Sejm, and invalid votes.

Law / Is having private students in Poland legal? Or a registration as self-employed is required [30]


Yes, of course.


Yes, you do.


Not at all.


Practically zero. The only possible situation when you might get into trouble is when a student who doesn`t pass an exam you were preparing him/her for takes you to court.

Her grandpa`s gold teeth?

History / What do Poles owe to Russians? [193]


This is one of my fav patriotic songs but I knew only two first stanzas. The rest you qouted are rather unknown, probably not included in the original version of the song.


Exactly.

As I said before, for average Westerners we are primitive barbarians.

But we are respected by average Russians. At least they have a neutral attitude.

Films on youtube by Russians and Easterners travelling through Poland are so "Polish" that one may think they were made by Poles. However, the music added by Russians is better - more romantic.

Language / Difference in "why" [9]


Yes, thank you. Now I know how to use it.

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

We shouldn`t blow the problem out of its proper proportions. Let`s be frank - the pre-war Polish isn`t much different than the contemporary one. We can perfectly understand what they sing.

Language / Difference in "why" [9]


Not exactly.

Po co? is What for?
Dlaczego? is Why?

PS. Ooops, Mom was first. Sorry.

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

Life / Question about hot water in Poland and the use of water heaters? [52]

Driving in the countryside, I can see more and more gas tanks in people`s gardens.

Most from Gaspol, some from Shell.

Life / Question about hot water in Poland and the use of water heaters? [52]


In Krakow, most people use gas heaters for hot water. They are the most economical, because electric heaters generate too high expenses.

In result, most Polish urban bathrooms are decorated with this gadget:



I have always had one, too.

However, in smaller towns in which gas network is not developed, people use electric boilers.

Language / What to talk about when learning the Polish language? [6]


Catholic gay marriages - advantages and disadvantages. It is one of my most favourite.

Language / Do you know what "farfocle" means? [11]

Excellent news, indeed.

I love digging for farfocle in my belly button. It is a fascinating activity, probably because it is so rare - happens once in a few years.

Language / Do you know what "farfocle" means? [11]

PIS: Poles deserve more. Honest state. Exchanged with Safety, etc etc



My comment:
I know I deserve more for being such a patriotic Pole.

However, I know that PiS won`t do much to give me what I deserve.

No other government will. I must get it myself.

As for the rest - I like honesty and safety but is there really need to wage a civil war so that Poland ca be safe and honest??? Can`t we do it another way?

It would be a parody. In the style of Johnny English films.

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]


Hmm, maybe some primitive Polish tribes hidden in Białowieska Jungle Forest, without access to the radio and TV, still keep old traditions.... ):):):)

Seriously, I don`t think so.

Language / Chcę and chce [21]


For the same reason that so many Brits and Ams eat parts of words while they speak English.

News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]


Yes, you are right.


Yes again, they are trying to look and sound cool and jazzy....


Unfortunately, I read sth else. Today, it is trendy for some young people to vote PiS.

But it is natural, in a way. Youngsters have always been against establishment. And PO, after 4 years in power, is certainly perceived as rotten establisment by them. PiS is seen as the voice and choice of the younger generation.

Hopefully, wise, experienced people who form the majority of voters and are able to see through scam and sham, won`t allow PiS` comeback to power.


Nope. In Polish elections, you put a CROSS (!) next to ONE candidate only! In this way, you mark him/her as your personal as well as your favourite party choice. Later on, the party will decide which candidate from the list shall become a member of Sejm. Normally and justly, those with most votes become ones, but the final decision is the party`s.

Yesterday, when surfing youtube, I saw PiS advertisements embedded into films and clips. Don`t you think it is unfair?
