History / Are Poles grateful to the Russians for winning the war? [120]

oh, so now we will never know but look at your reply #72. You seem to be pretty sure about anything that depicts Soviets as big heroes. What are you, a Soviet/Russian or just some kind of Soviets admirer?

The Soviets were getting the better of the Axis forces before D Day.

Love / Your feedback on office sex (situation from Poland) [37]

Many things here are crystal clear.

Harry it’s a forum nothing is clear.

not when you're being forced by me.

Arrogance is not the same as force.

The full quote is ....

Again context.....he doesn’t like my stuff put me on ignore, he is free to do that or not as he wishes ie an invitation.

Love / Your feedback on office sex (situation from Poland) [37]

Perhaps you can list the situations in which it is appropriate for a man to cheat on the wife who clearly considers that their relationship still is one of man and wife?

Harry nothing is clear here. Life is not a series of tick boxes.

But do feel free to keep wriggling.

Context in language as in life is everything Harry, it’s not black and white it’s not a series of tick boxes. But do feel free to selectively parse.

Love / Your feedback on office sex (situation from Poland) [37]

Lets all judge this man without knowing anything about him or his relationships.

Interesting that you consider yourself free to say whatever you want and people will have to ignore you but when I say whatever I want you start a thread titled "Harry the cuunt" and make statements such as "Harry fcuk off and stop harassing people." Perhaps you would like to look up the meaning of hypocritical and then reassess your statement.

Harry, I said he can ignore me not must ignore me or have to ignore me.

Doesn't it bother you to be so hypocritical?

Nothing hypocritical about that Harry, if He doesn’t like a statement he can ignore it or me.

Keep going Harry I’m sure you will score a major success sooner or later.

You really are a petulant little boy.
I'll post what I want when I want, put me on ignore it's not that difficult.

When I see a lot of marketing speak, gossip and "insights into honesty" I guess that the poster, if starving would complain about the presentation of his much needed meal, so fully he has swallowed marketing crap.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

George Orwell's '1984' came out after the war in 1948-49, and it was a form of protest against what Britain had become and what he feared for the future.

No it wasnt, Orwell's writing plotted a gradual change away from the paradoxically hardline yet romantic stalinism of the left at the time, Orwell became a government agent.

Edit
There was no way the British public were going to protest about anything then especially against the country they saw as having done the donkey work

Food / What a typical Polish family eats. How do they prepare food and who cooks at home? [37]

It stops to be such when boiled. :):):)

Try this no boiling

(I lifted this from the net But I make something similar.)

ingredients
serves 4
25 g (1 oz) butter
1 medium onion, skinned and chopped
1 garlic clove, skinned and crushed
6 juniper berries, crushed
450 g (1 lb) cabbage, shredded
salt and pepper

method
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion, garlic and juniper berries and lightly cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft.

2. Add the cabbage and stir until well coated in butter. Season to taste. Cover and cook the cabbage in its own juice for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should still be slightly crunchy and not soft. Serve hot

It is really good

Work / Looking for accommodation & teaching job in KATOWICE [78]

I imagine there is a ban on meeting students of the school outside of school.

There was when I taught English badly. (I hated it)
The owners thought you would poach their students, most teachers ignored this rule. Also you would have people trying to get coaching for free which was a pain.

UK, Ireland / 50 babies a day born to Polish mothers in UK [81]

=modafinil]people over 50 who wish the UK would go back to Pounds, Shillings and Pence types.

The idea of daily mail readers embracing LSD is quite scary then again I suppose they are halfway there with blue rinses and so on.

UK, Ireland / The British law on someone cutting down a piece of your garden [13]

They did nothing wrong. If the branches were hanging over their land they can cut them but must give you the cuttings. If fruit drops onto their land they can keep it but cannot pick it even if it overhangs.

If the trees/hedge blocks out their light there is a thing called "ancient light" where they have the right to protect their light ie cut down the obstruction.

You like privacy they like light
Perhaps they should have talked to you like good neighbours.

History / How do Poles feel about 10th anniversary of 9/11 [40]

Wholeheartedly agree but add that the disgusting sick pups and their baseless masturbatory fantasies should fu*k off and get a life rather than sponge off the tragedy of others.

News / Nigel Farage voice of reason for Poland and EU? [79]

Where do you draw the line on referenda look at California the state which is what the 6th largest economy in the world (I think) was almost bankrupted by the voter write in bill. People want essential services preserved and lower taxes, turns out essential services means different things to different people just like big decisions mean different things to different people.

Democracy isn’t perfect but the one thing it allows is the ability to implement unpopular or unfashionable decisions. Populists rail against this for their own selfish reasons, Farage is a little Englander each country has them.

News / Nigel Farage voice of reason for Poland and EU? [79]

It doesn't detract from the fact that referenda still have a role to play and ignoring them willy-nilly is a smack in the face to democracy. You are simply allowing a precious few individuals to shape reality for millions of individuals. If you call defending democracy one trick, God help you.

It's really where you draw the line with referenda as Cameron has found with his e-petition thing. Politians are elected to lead, certainly listen to interested groups not pander to them without leadership nothing would change.

Farage's defence of democracy? He doesnt offer anything beyond a call for referenda, his vision would increase red tape with 27 plus sets of regulations instead of one which is both costly and open to corruption because when you have a border or law you have the potential for abuse.

Food / Polish Preserves, any recipes? [14]

OK I'm going to pick a lot of plums today and I intend to make plum butter. The plums that are ripe are Victoria a dessert plum hopefully they will work. The problem is that sugar is used to both sweeten and help preserve the fruit but Victoria plums are very sweet so don’t need sugar.

It’s a long shot but does anyone know if I will have to freeze this butter or will it keep without.

Nigel Farage voice of reason for Poland and EU?
Terrible man, pandering to the lowest common denominator, a real populist a rabble rouser without a rabble.
The guy doesn’t have a clue how domestic policy is formulated or how international relations work, who trots out "its not democratic" about any given issue he disagrees with. Following his advice would lead to more red tape and corruption.

=delphiandomine]Incidentally - they aren't unelected. They're chosen by the leaders of the EU countries - who are elected by the people of the countries. Not 'unelected' at all.

Exactly

Those shouting for referenda should ask themselves why elect Politian’s if not to make decisions. They instruct the civil servants who do the job of implementing the policy.

Look at California where you have un elected big business manipulating ballots. With referenda you would have the death penalty for the baddie of the day (dependant upon the tastes of news editors) and so on.

Politian’s are elected to lead and make decisions through their civil servants.

Farage just doesn’t like funny foreigners, the man is an attention seeking one trick pony.
