Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

We will be living somewhere between Moscow and St Petersburg , out in the forest , so there will be plenty of wildlife around...

I am hoping that i can make enough money to finance it myself by running tours on Harley and 4 x 4 stuff to the interesting parts of Russia...

Don,t forget you will be welcome to come and stay with us if you find yourself over that part of the world...!

We plan on keeping an appartment in Moscow , another in St Petersburg , and the house will be somewhere between the two...

Polonia / MOVING MY STUFF TO MOSCOW and a Harley motorcycle ...any ideas? [58]

I could store a lot of it at a friends farm , but if i can get it all to Moscow it will save the trouble and expense of coming back to collect it all...

I am not sure where i am going to put it all yet , there certainly is not room in our appartment in Moscow...but maybe at my Ladies daughters house..?

I too would like to give to animals and the blind.

I always fancied the idea of running a wildlife rescue centre....maybe it will be possible once we get our house in the country...?

Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

Nothing like good student food

My girlfriend has stopped asking me what sort of stuff i eat in Poland , i know she is not happy about my basic diet , and i am sure she is gonna overfeed me when i get over there...

I am still going to eat beans though....sometimes...

Polonia / MOVING MY STUFF TO MOSCOW and a Harley motorcycle ...any ideas? [58]

I won,t be taking any furniture to Moscow , but i have quite a lot of stuff in cartons , not to mention a Harley motorcycle that needs transporting there....

Anyone got any clues about a company that will transport all this stuff to Moscow as cheaply as possible...?

I guess its going to be a transit sized box van to get it all in...

Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

I have not tried collecting for charity in Poland , but i reckon the Poles would give stuff , especially if it was for kids...

When i was in the UK , it was always easy to get toys and stuff for kids , getting money was always a problem , but i could get truckloads of cuddly toys , clothes , computers , books , bycycles and whatever....

The hardest part was getting it all to Polska , at first we did it in convoys of Landrovers , but eventually it grew too big to do it this way , and we managed to talk a Polish trucking company in Szczecin to bring it all to Poland for us... They took onions to the UK , but came back empty...

I will probably get back into all this sort of stuff once i move to Russia , but right now i have enough problem taking care of myself...

Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

Ha...if i turned up at my neighbours with a spade , they would probably point at their piles of snow...

You would not get any of the locals shovelling snow , unless some cash changed hands....

The deep bits are the ones i have not driven the Jeep over , i don,t bother clearing the snow any more , i just drive over it and make some sort of path through it...

But there are parts where its drifted that even the Jeep would not get through..

What did i get up...? maybe you mean what did i get up to...???

Well , i went to the kids home , helped dish out some pressies , dragged em round the lake in a sledge pulled by my Jeep , then showed some of the older ones how to do ice fishing....

helped some of the teachers with their English , then pulled a bunch of stuck cars out of the snow....
then i went home...

Life / Woman on Wigilia spells bad luck in Poland [6]

Acccording to Old Polish Wigilia lore, if the first person to visit your home on Chrsitmas Eve is a woman, that means bad luck in the year ahead.

Unless you can convince the wife to go out that is...?

Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

Can anyone give me some advice on doing something usefull at Christmas...?

My Christmas is a non event really , its put on hold untill next year when i will be in Moscow with my lady , so i am wondering if i can do something usefull to help some organisation give a nice Christmas to others...

Pehaps there is some people who take food to the homeless , or presents to childrens homes , or clear paths at old folks homes , all ideas welcome....

I suppose a local church may be doing something like this , i don,t mind helping there , as long as they accept i have no interest in religion...

Any ideas....???

Life / Has anyone in Poland that you know been affected by H1N1? (swine flu) [44]

During my five years in Poland , in my cold draughty old farm , i have never taken any medicines or potions , other than an apap now and then...

I have never been ill , apart from the odd sniffle , that says something....

It might be a bit different when i am in a warm appartment in Moscow , living with a teacher who spends all her day with children , well known as walking germ factories...

Life / Winter 2010/2011 in Poland, is it going to be bad? [114]

It will be a bit sad if we don,t have a white Christmas , but i will be glad of some warmer weather the rest of the time....

At the moment up in Pomerania , its minus 8 , plenty of snow on the ground , and more coming down...

News / US Military: The Army of Poland is crap. [124]

lol no, but if a person is innocent and you break his door down treat him like a terrorist

But you might not know if the person behind the door is an innocent civilian or a terrorist..?

Once a terrorist puts down his gun , he looks very much like an innocent civilian...its a tricky situation for the soldiers there...

News / US Military: The Army of Poland is crap. [124]

like not barging in a house with dogs, or kicking the door in, without trying to knock first.

When looking for dangerous armed terrorists , its always a good idea to knock on the door to let them know you are coming....

It gives them time to clear off out of the back door , or grab their weapons and shoot you...

Life / Why Poland is "surprised" by winter and snow every year? [192]

True...there is a road i know in Russia where everyone crawls along at a snails pace in good weather due to the huge holes....but in winter , they drive flat out on it....on sheet ice....!
