He braked hard to avoid a wild boar, went over the handlebars, somersaulted, landed on his rucksack and squashed all the berries collected in 1) above?

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

I blame Tony Bla

As do I. I believe he is the father of thirty of them.

C'mon, you've got to do better than that. If the women there need some help, well, I'll be in England this coming spring and will be delighted to do my part........

This is the type of magnanimous gesture that can only make the world a better place. You're very welcome to pop round to my place for a reviving cup of tea in your breaks;)

News / Russia says: WE'LL NUKE POLAND [150]

The chilling threat was issued by a top general of Vladimir Putin

As it was in the Sun I presume she had a large chest then;)

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

but there are no British restaurants at all here

I find that surprising. There used to be a really nice English restaurant in San Diego that I frequented many years back. I would try to see if it was still there but I have to clean my dentures and then go out to ram raid the local American Golf store (this week it's middle class riots over here) and drop the missus off to rampage through Jimmy Choos.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Look at the date of the photo

Does this have something to do with a football match against Germany by any chance?

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

this is what I hate about sentimentality

Sean, I'm not prone to sentimentality attacks, honest;) I agree that there were a lot of fights started by noimmi and other trolls but the likes of him were rounded upon quickly and dealt with using humour and the collective will of a good bunch of people won the day every time. This is different now and it's deflecting from the efforts of others.

If I'm honest then I have contributed liitle of value over the last two years or so myself and should not be over critical of others so will remain silent from now on. I'll still pop back to visit now and again. My own connections with Poland have reduced a lot too so the value to me of PF is less than it was.

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

Groans from the still living fill the early morning air. Everywhere there are burnt out heaps of twisted metal that used to be computers. A few brave souls, presumably officers, walk among the carnage that wasthe Battle of PF, a battle that had been threatening for some time and that was finally instigated by a removal of privileges for the lower ranks.

Now, as I sit here in the fox holes of hell I hear that some escaped the horror by joining another battle. Has the cause been lost? What once we all would defend to the end no longer so important? If so it is a dark day.

It beggars belief how the wit and humour of a few years ago has been replaced by anger and rancour and that the actions of a relatively few self opinionated and intolerant people have buggered this place up to the extent that some of the good people have and are seeking a new place to talk and discuss.

I am a simple man. In real life I would say that I get on well with maybe 90% of the people I meet. Of the rest I probably actively dislike maybe 1 in 10. From the bile posted here lately it would appear that I am in minority.

What a sad theme for my last ever Omnibus post. PF will of course continue and over time, with a new influx of members , maybe thrive again to become the vibrant and informative place that it most certainly used to be.

So it's goodbye from me (and it's goodbye from Ed)

quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

transaltion

Who will watch the watchers themselves?

I think the Latin gives us a touch of class (unlike some of the members)

can somebody infect my farm with a virus and change the wallpaper please

I have 200 rolls of ghastly sixties flowery flock wallpaper with 12 inch wide orange flowers on a hideous lime green background that you can have free (postage and packaging will be around £15000). Guaranteed lack of Rick Astley.

PS why can't I see the latest threads view on my machine (too friggin' lazy to work it out for myself)

Love / In Polish relationships who is the boss? [46]

Oh come off it..... doesn't matter if it's Polish, Nepalese or Martian it's obvious that the woman is the boss. They have the ultimate sanction after all.

UK, Ireland / How to set up a charity in the UK? [20]

This link provides an overview of the process. It is fairly complicated. When I set one up I has the benefit of having a friend who had been through the process.

great, is the account still active then?

For you yes. Phone Mr Al Faed and tell him you are a friend of 'El Pie'. You will then be given a 90 day credit facility up to my old limit of £3.25 which should keep you in sardines for about a da;)

Nice reporting on The War btw. Are you in Triploi?

Feedback / Why PolishForums? Give us your stories! [60]

I came here to find a Polish bride but then remembered I already had one. Bubbawoo called me a twat and I realised that this was my sort of place and sort of hung around.
