Love / Fresh, wholesome country lass in Poland - getting married and going back to the US [167]


Actually he does. He thinks it is like going to Leroy Merlin here in Warsaw and take a woman out of the shelf. Not in terms of real-life relationships.

His idea (and of the other forum nazis) of wholesomeness is to have some girl, not working, preferably simple, did not study, sitting in church all day, voting PIS & some other deviation, waiting for a USD partner who cannot get a real partner at home. I have three women at home who laugh at this kind of attitude :)

You definitely have an obsession with women and with sex, and with both.

Care to elaborate on that one ?

Btw this year, as every year here in Warsaw are again the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, with free concerts on the Rynek every Saturday evening. Lots of happy people around, a cold beer and watching good music...Would you categorize this under S&G? I mean, they could be church at the same time....

This of course tells us everything. You might not know this, but in all democratic countries heads of state and prime ministers have a budget for representation costs.

We cannot expect them to wander about in C&A outfits (nothing wrong with C&A, I also buy stuff there). They have to look presentable. And yes, that costs money. Just like a state dinner costs money.

And a country where the President is democratically elected as well, I would like to add. I have no doubt that he will be reelected.

News / Tuskites and Poland's ex-commies? PO-SLD coalition? [19]

As far as I know, Poland is a democratically governed country, a parliamentary democracy where the government is made of parties elected during the last elections, where 70% of the voters did not vote like PIS wanted.

News / VAT, OFE, ZUS and costly dress under Tusk's government in Poland [48]

Most Western countries prefer their heads of governments to be dressed up to the nines (I believe there is such an expression in English?) and the same goes for their partners. The money spent on hairdressers could be better-spent though. See Belgian Queen Fabiola or Dutch Queen Beatrix :)

That said and done, heads of state represent their country and it would not do them going around in a C&A suit.

I think it is normal that he would have a higher salary as Jan Kowalski. In my native Belgium the Prime Minister earns 17.500 EUR per month + 2300 EUR representation costs. The average Belgian earns 3.200 EUR. But a prime minister is the CEO of a pretty big company, namely the country. The ducks also were earning more as their neighbours.

By the way, the cardinal earns the same as the Prime Minister.

But these are - keeping in mind I am not a native English speaker - correct expressions. You just want to insult Warsaw's City President.

As opposed to you, I am paying taxes in Poland, and I think it is normal that the Prime Minister and the President and their partners are dressed on the country's cost.

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


That is a process called "democracy". In Poland this means that after the elections the remainder 70% of the votes go to a sound coalition.

Voters vote for parties and not for coalitions.

I think you can also join with giving a mobile phone number - at least that is what is written on the terminals. Otherwise it is a really good project.

It is of course so that they are cheaper to maintain as a presidency, less political (though in Poland the smolenkists would be different). For P3 almost all of the present monarchies are anathema because not rcc.

And they present a never-ending source of gossip for the tabloids :)
Actually they could provide an element of stability I think.

An interesting story from the biggest work of fiction in the world.

In fact you mean that the Polish way of life is to build a duck statue on the local taxpayers' costs, sit in church all day, do not have outdoors fun at any cost and adore maybach?

And do not have any understanding of the female part of the population.

Life / Polish way of life? [34]


I am just waiting for the ranting about popculture to come around. And about the clubbing of course.
But let me give you an idea about the average life of our average friends here in Warsaw (us included)
- Getting up very early to beat the traffic jams to work (and kicking the daughters out of their bed to go to university & work)

- Corresponding with your partner mainly by e-mail / sms because no time at all in the morning
- In the evening trying to remember what shopping to do on the way home because your wife will kick your *** if you again forget to buy toilet paper and she is again working late

- Acting as a private bus service ferrying the kids to ballet classes, music classes, buying kebab because nobody was at home to cook
- Weekend: cleaning the car, meeting friends for a beer, going to an exposition, strolling on Krakowskie with friends, emptying the local Auchan, being frustrated that my wife as a journalist again has to work Sundays. Daughters going out with their friends and treating father as a walking ATM (surely the one studying)

Life as it is, like almost everywhere in Europe. No big deal.

Law / trying to leave Poland with a traffic ticket [8]

I got a ticket some years ago while ignoring the pedestrian red light (streets were completely empty). Got fined 100 PLN, Did not pay, but they caught up with me when one year later my bank informed that they had to block my bank account on order of Warsaw City Administration unless I would pay.

In retrospect not fair, because so many crazies on the roads and nobody bothers them.
