Sorry, no. We must talk really seriously now. :):):) When and why was the Cyrillic used in Poland in the 20th century past Polish Soviet 1920 war?

Hint - can you see that design next to the slogan? What does it represent?

Think about the last pic and let`s change the topic - keeping to one theme is boring, I suppose.

Language / "Pan" or "Ty" - how people address each other in Poland? [55]

Address an adult stranger always with polite PAN/PANI. Unless you are an easy going reporter, but even so some people will take an offence.

No, impossible, it is so obvious after translating the message which was the main part of the riddle.

No, Bolsheviks didn`t fight for our freedom, quite the opposite. :)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Yes, very good, but why in Cyrillic??? Who exactly is meant?

You managed to translate the second part of the slogan - yet the first is more important to answer the question.

Yes, when you phoned them before and they didn`t answer, you were unlucky. However, I can`t help you with Polish English translation. You must find a local guy.

That is normal. If you posted riddles about Britain, I would have similarly hard time.


Yes, they have been saying O Tempora O Mores for a few hundred years now. :)


Yes! Damnit, my riddles are too easy!

Hmm, how about learning some Cyrillic? :):)

Only one question - why is it there?

Life / Day Care/Kindergarten in Katowice [9]

Residing means you live in the city of Katowice, work there and pay taxes. Such parents are priority during enrolment. As for reaching the kindergartens, I believe they don`t reply by email but not replying to phone calls is strange.

Yes, of course, but I was writing in English, not Polish, and I forgot the English word. :):)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Cobble paving! Of course I knew the word but forgot. So, not a shadow but granite cobblestones.

Aaah, that was a real challenge. First I tried to google a statue of a soldier wearing traditional Polish military cap plus image of a plane on the ground and nothing! WTF? I had to return to your post and read the question again and voila: Who is it? If he was an anonymous soldier, you wouldn`t ask that question.

So, it is General Sikorski in Rzeszów, the image of the plane relates to his death in a mysterious plane crash which the British still don`t want to reveal their archives about.

Thanks a lot for that mental exercise. :):)


Me too and every year I am gettting more and more scared. Where is this world going to if it is going to the dogs so ostentaciously?

So, you have chosen to do monuments, statues etc. :):)

Here you are. I hope you know Cyrillic:

Yes, I know, but I forgot how to call those bricks that are used to make the ground. :):)

The problem is that too many people are lazy and don`t want to train their minds, looking for clues and eventually guessing. They mostly prefer to deal with sth they have seen, visited, experienced because it is the easiest. Yes, it is sad, but we can`t help it.


Looks like WW2 soldier accompanied by a few mates, plus the shadow of a bomber plane on the ground, but never saw it. I need time.


Certain guys take things too seriously, they think the forum is their only life. Forgive him.


You once said you run a business, birdbrain. Do you also categorise your customers into the liked and disliked ones? You must have gone bankrupt a few times so far. :):)

Travel / Warsaw WKD and ZTM - how the ticket system works here? [7]


Yes, it is indeed.


Well, you set a strict restriction now. I found sth but am not 100% sure, only about 80% because the Net cannot be trusted fully. So I think I should keep silent and let`s wait for somebody who knows 100% as he/she lives in Warsaw, while I don`t.

Love / What do I need to know as an American about a Polish man? [15]

Did you mean this or the opposite order?

Yes, the river`s name - Elster.

It came to my mind that we might be a little tired with art riddles.

As the most successful guesser, you have the right to choose the topic of the next series of riddles. What shall it be?

That was your thinking in 2010. Do you still hold that view? I haven`t heard you express it for a long time now.

Feedback / A Personal Request to all PF members [119]


Yes, I knew it! The busiest times during the week are in the morning and evening of the Polish time zone, i.e. before going to work and after it.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]


Or even a small fraction of a minority. Poles have always had a very romantically positive attitude to the USA (but completely out of balance when the opposite direction is considered).

I can`t help you, there are several articles about free places in kindergartens, e.g,

How about visiting these guys in their premises? They could have tried to contact you but you were unavailable or something. Besides, what is it with their phone number? Do toy have the right one?

Law / Advice needed on why my Poland National Visa D has been refused? [49]

I see. I am afraid you won`t find a direct answer because the reasons can be multiple. Also, many people are turned down for visas but they don`t share their experiences.

The link I provided explains what steps to take in case one is denied a visa.

And sorry for Milosław and his ranting , he sometimes goes wild and rebukes everybody around.

Of course not - why are you spreading fake news? :):) Firstly, I took the pic in 2010. Secondly, I uploaded it in 2011. Thirdly, it is long gone from this thread.

OK, sth newer then.
