Not these days!

I would have done some years back though. They are definitely magic mushrooms - not hard to recognise in my opinion with the distinctive size/shape/nipple etc

One country.

I see Convex has justed posted on this.

Pubs in Ireland definitely quieter - the UK too. French bars look quieter too. I don't have enough regular experience of pubs in other countries to comment but I'm sure the ones I've mentioned are not unique.

Jesus.

Canada can be cold. So can Poland. Some parts are colder than others. Nobody is a walking weather station. Can we leave it?

Aphrodisiac, please continue!

Really? I thought these were common more or less everywhere (allowing for climate obviously)

Ha ha - sounds like a euphemism for some seedy group.

I can just see the documentary on their "lifestyle", faces pixelated out, voices disguised:

"I mean, yeah, I was part of the kebab boy scene for a few years - that's the original scene mind you, before the younger edgier element came through..."

This may not be the general trend though.

Since the ban was introduced in Ireland (2004) pubs have been much less frequented.

Classifieds / English cuisine week in Lidl shops in Poland [203]


They are just different. You possibly haven't had good ones - just as I possibly haven't had many good Polish sausages (i.e. not filled with water, fat and preservatives)

Not being funny, but in my expereince many Poles in Ireland/UK will buy very cheap stuff - obviously it's not going to be very good.

Which invasion are you referring to - the original mid 60s one or a subsequent one?

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Draught Guinness.

'Draught' Guinness in a can.

"Extra stout" standard Guinness, in a can (or bottle).

Big difference in all three - the last one is fairly bitter.

The beans thing is actually a bit mad guys. Come on.

Yes and rightly so - but how often are they prevented from marching?

What law have gay marchers broken? The ones in your pics probably sail very close to public decency laws but I'd rather my kids see that than someone pummelled unconscious.

Life / Any treatment centres for homos in Poland? [455]


I agree, but, plenty of other marches/parades have elements that are undesirable: dubious messages or slogans - even violence. Yet, these people are generally not denied the opportunity to march.

What is, exactly?

Why not if it is a means to highlight certain injustices?

Any other section of society who feels they have been wronged or discriminated against will certainly do so.

Ehhhh OK then.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]

Here's a pretty subtle difference - British & Irish when pausing to find a suitable word, or simply "thinking out loud" tend to say Ehhhh or Uhhhh - sometimes ending in an "M"

Every Pole I've met does a "tight-lipped" version, without vowel sounds - they only ever seem to say Mmmmm
