News / Poland's interior minister and the central bank chief recorded [28]

PF members in other parts of the world might not have seen it, as there are other things going on at the moment, like the crisis in Ukraine and Iraq for example.

Feedback / Editing time too short (5 minutes currently) [60]


Threads and posts might not look very pretty if this were allowed, besides some posters often put their hands up to an earlier error (if it was the opposite to what they meant) in a later post. Most errors occur when posters rush their posts, without previewing, and we're all guilty of this at some time.

It's up to the poster to make sure their post is correct before sending, hence the preview button. This is the same situation with emails, edit before sending, as you won't be able to edit afterwards.

The main reason why editing time is short (5 minutes should be ample) is because as someone else pointed out, many rouge posters would change their posts and deny that they wrote something else.

But is there not time to read it and check, before pressing 'post'?

There is a preview button, that you can view your post before hitting ' post message' and you can take as long as you wish.


The site is very easy on the eye(s) and also for this reason, it loads faster than 95% of all other websites. The old adage ' you can't have your cake and eat it ' springs to mind.

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]

They use Royal mail and others for delivery, but have their own distribution centres, amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=2610312031 or as they call them 'Fulfilment Centres' similar to the ones in the USA

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]


If this is going to be the case, then they're still going to need warehouses in the UK as distributing centres, like they have today, so nothing much will change here. I can't imagine them sending a plane from Poland for a £ 7. 99 book because an UK customer has paid a couple of extra quid for next day delivery.

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]

There is probably a small percentage of people in the UK asking for things to be shipped from Amazon warehouses in Poland, Amazon UK can provide this, next day if required. Incidentally, recently they have also stopped the 'free standard delivery' for items under £9.99 for UK customers.

If you are working legally in the UK and paying tax, you should have been given a national insurance number. This number can be traced back to the day you received it, and it will also be linked to any national insurance and tax contributions you have paid.

You will find it on the very first page you'll see, first two boxes at the top of the page, with the words 'log in'. I believe it has been there for nearly 9 years. Let us know if you still have trouble finding it.

Language / A little Polish grammar. Masculine, animate objects. [64]


In this instant yes, but there is more to it. Verbs are words that express action, and the endings of the verb varies according to who is doing the action. The infinitive form of the verb mówić (to speak) is the one you'll find in a dictionary. Mówić belongs to a certain group of verbs (there are 3 other main groups) and the endings will change for each person(s) as follows:

singular
mówię - I speak
mówisz - you speak
on/ona/ono mówi - he/she/ it speaks

plural

mówimy - we speak
mówicie - you speak
oni/one mówią - they speak ( men only or at least one woman in the group/ women only and everything else.

You can use mówisz with friends and family, people your own age and children, but with someone older it's best to use the polite form pan/panie with the 3rd person form of the verb mówi. I don't want to dishearten you but, the above examples are the present tense of the verb Mówić, and there will also be changes for the future, past, conditional and imperative tenses too.


'po' is used in the location and accusative cases as well, depending on whether it's location or motion. If you want to inform someone, that you can speak one of the following languages, polski, angielski, hiszpański francuski (Polish, English, Spanish and French) you replace the ending -ki with -ku and place the preposition 'po' in front, mówię po polsku, mówię po angielsku, mówię po hiszańsku and mówię po francusku. Names of languages are spelt with small letters.

Because it's the second person singular (Informal), the other two are 3rd person singular (formal)


But the sz is added in jak się masz second person (informal).

szczecinianin, I think it would be a good idea, when posting a link to your blog/newspaper, to also provide a link to the media source where the original article came from. Please do this in your first post when starting a new thread.

UK, Ireland / Mentally ill people in British society [55]


You make it sound like the UK has a plague of mentally ill people roaming the streets like zombies. How do you know that these people are all mentally ill, and not some drug addicts or alcoholics? There are mentally ill people in my city too, but they stay in residential homes and and looked after by carers. If they have go out onto the streets there is also a carer with them at all times, so they are no risk to society. Perhaps you just watch too many zombie movies?

News / Skins vs anarchists in Warsaw [93]

This thread has had nearly two pages cleaned, because certain posters have taken it off topic with their bickering and desire to ruin every thread for others. The topic was about marches earlier this week in Warsaw and this should be the only discussion in this thread. Posters who continue to ruin threads for others will be dealt with in future.

A reminder of this warning.

Travel / Ryanair cut charges. Poles to take advantage? [20]


The priority should work well enough if there is no bus. I have flown the same route with the same airline company for many years, and sometimes the plane is a two minute walk from the terminal, and sometimes it's a 5 or 6 minute bus ride away. I don't know why this is, maybe priority is given to larger aircraft at certain times of the day to have a spot closer to the terminal? Anyway in these cases with the bus ride, I saw people who were on first, were last off at the aircraft.

Travel / Ryanair cut charges. Poles to take advantage? [20]


I've seen this too. People who paid for priority were first on the bus, but last to get on the plane.

Travel / Incorrect passport date on boarding pass [13]


There's no doubt that they can change it, but they would probably be looking to charge a hefty administration fee like most airline companies.

Travel / Incorrect passport date on boarding pass [13]


All I'm saying is that it would be better if his details are correct when flying to another country. It is not unknown to be refused a boarding pass because some detail is incorrect with the ticket/passport. If the airline company stop you then it is unlikely that you will even reach as far as boarder control. It is easy for us to give our two cents, but at the end of the day it might rest on which person is on duty at the check in desk.

Is there a reason as to why they can't change it? The border control at the Luton end might be more strict if things don't add up.

Travel / How does wizz air compare with ryanair? [32]

Having watched a TV program about this incident , the report from the airport concerned Spanish) spoke of 4 mayday calls that day (3 from Ryan Air) and didn't mention anything about weather conditions.

Edited. My mistake, there was mention of bad weather at the intended airport, but towards the end of the program , an ex pilot was quoted as saying RA pilots were encouraged to carry the minimum amount of fuel. A very frightening thought indeed.
