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

Between my farm and the local town there are some nice bits of Polish road where the camber is all wrong , very easy to slide off into the ditch , or worse still into a tree if you don,t know where these places are....

Yeah...i used to love driving in the snow , but even with a 4 x 4 you are stuck if the road is blocked by cars that ventured out when they can,t get through it...You can,t drive over the top of them...

I did two years driving a transit van through some bad winters , and they are hopeless on snow , but with a bit of skill , and a handy shovel , i did not get stranded...

but not a so-called professional cabby, was about 2 inches (5cm) deep, according to mum.

Typical fat bellied lazy git...you can take joy in knowing the lack of exercise will kill him with a heart attack....

Perhaps the water is frozen and they can,t clean him any other way....?

Still snowing up here in Pomerania , about minus 8 outside , last night my outside tempreture sensor on the Jeep said it was minus 12...

Meanwhile , over in Moscow its minus 22 , but they don,t have snow at the moment...The snow that they had , melted , and as usual caused floods all over the place...This has now frozen into nice skating rinks for the Moscow drivers...

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

The Polish airmen serving in the battle of Britain were not used for a long time in the battle as they were thought to be lacking in skill and commitment..

They did a pretty good job though when heavy losses finally forced the RAF to use them...they shot down more enemy planes than the RAF flyers...

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

The USA has been in many combats since the second war , so its hardly suprising they are a little more expert than the Polish army...

They also have a whole lot more money to spend on equipment...

Life / A frozen then burst pipe in Poland - what to do. [18]

During my first winter in Poland , which was quite a hard one , i had the water pipes in my kitchen freeze...

Once i got a fire going i did get a bit of a dribble from the tap in the kitchen , so left it running in the hope it would flush out the remaining ice....

Soon after this i was engaged in some indoor exercises with Aneta , a lovely but silly blondie , just to keep warm of course...!

She said she could hear the water running qute fast now , so maybe we should look at it , no , sez i , let it run , it will flush all the ice out of the pipes....

Little did i know , that the plug hole was still frozen up so once the sink filled up , the remaining 2000 liters went all over the kitchen floor....

And yes , most of it froze , making a nice ice rink to skate about on....

Life / During winter in Poland, does petrol in the car freezes [60]

When i was in one of the colder regions of Russia I was rather amazed to see people lighting log fires under trucks to heat them up enough to start , and even more amazed to watch em throwing buckets of benzine on the axles and gearboxes and lighting it , and then chucking more on to get a good blaze going....

When its really cold you need to warm everything , as the metal is very brittle when cold and can easily break...

In the far north of Russia people go home from work and leave the car running all night while they sleep...! if they turn it off , it ain,t never gonna start again untill the spring....

Many people have a heated garage....

Of course things can go wrong....i saw a Lada go up in flames after the owner got a bit too handy with the petrol to warm it up....

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Like the Russians sinking their submarines by putting them in water?

I heard that joke many times...but with many different nations being the subject of the joke...

Same goes for the electrician joke i told..the first time i heard it , it was an Irish electrician...

I have heard many a Yorkshireman joke , and quite a few biker jokes , and i can,t say i am offended despite being a Yorkshire biker...

If you tell a joke about fat people , fat people will be offended , if you tell a gay joke , then gay people will be offended...

Can you guess who is going to be offended if you tell jokes about stupid Polish people.???

not normal intelligent Polish people i suspect...!

Life / POLISH TEENAGERS TURN TO PROSTITUTION... [77]

I have no objection to anyone working as a prostitute , if they are doing it of their own free will...good luck to them....

As far as i am concerned its only wrong if the woman is forced into it....

Life / INVISIBLE MAN in shops and offices in Poland? [70]

Of course being invisible has its advantages...the Police very rarely stop me as they can,t be bothered to try and comunicate with me....

Unlike Ukraine where an English car attracts every money hungry Policeman for miles...
