Law / File complaint against Poland's police [97]


You should have instantly called them, said the late cancellation was totally unacceptable, and demanded that it go ahead.

Your rights.

Little fookers.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


The Poles learn a political lesson? Are we talking about the same people? Intransigent at best. Unworkable with at worst. But the cream will rise to the top; it's the rest of us, including some of us who are reaching the end of our working lives, that are being ****** over

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Cracking stuff Harry.

You forget of course that the huge majority of Poles don't care what happens to their country and think only of beer and cigarettes.

That's the catholic state for you :(((

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


Please!

People voted PIS because of the big yellow dangling carrot. Bringing more government and establishment control down on all of us.
Anything other than the obvious solution of getting on your bike, and looking for opportunities, would do for the PIS supporter, and any populist nonsense would buy their vote.

Meanwhile, in the real world.....

News / Monthly Smolensk Commemorations in Poland! [34]

Merged: Smolensk - The movie!

Now, a couple of days ago I saw the cinema trailer for this epic..... aka Smolensk.

I have just returned from the village quack, after an operation to have my lips sewn together.........

For I intend to go and see this show , and it was suggested to me that bursting out laughing at the development of the premise of the film would be inappropriate given the circumstances.

Thus the undertaking to keep said lips buttoned together.

Having said that, the nation needs to brace itself for the next round of public incredulity at the latest bout of Polish self-loathing. Likely to be seen as disgusting stuff, and totally disrespectful to the victims (though I will sit through it and weigh up the facts portrayed, just as Mary Whitehouse failed to so do with "Deep Throat")

Any others suckers going to throw their hard-earned at another of Krause's "masterpieces of cinema"?

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


I think you will find that EU law prohibits oppression - which is why Poland is likely going to join Hungary in being censored. Union is everybody's business.

If the Hungarians insist on acting like the rabid racists nationalists that they are, at least they are held accountable. The same goes for PIS.

News / How would Poland change for the better (or worse) under a PiS government? [257]


At last!

Finally you come out with the truth of what this is all about.

So called equality.

Those who got on by following a career path/grafting/innovating/grasping the main chance (who happen to vote for a market economy, because it is a the only logical choice in a poor country) are to be envied.

So let's sack those of them that we can, and instill our own "specialists" - who like the communist apparatchiki before them, know bugger all about foresty/equines/industry etc etc etc etc.....

Because - as we all suspected - "The time has come to spread the benefits around."

Life doesn't work like that Polonius, and any patriot knows who will pay for that socialist clueless policy, and it ain't going to be me - but your country.

This sight really needs smileys. I need a hands up here. I had some disgusting Polish mish-mash the other day that resulted in a Gary Lineker.

Study / Any (inexpensive) English Schools in Krakow? [60]


Cough.....

Krakow is the most polluted city in Poland. Bad luck if that is a major worry. House the kids outside in the hills and you're in the clear - but in a rabid catholic environment in that case....

Sorry but that's a concise summary of Krakow for you.

Feedback / Warning for posters who have been changing the names of famous Polish politicians, celebrities, etc. [90]


I reckon to call someone out as mentally deficient or bi-polar is pretty low:(

Feedback / Warning for posters who have been changing the names of famous Polish politicians, celebrities, etc. [90]


A xenophobic clown is what he is, and that is what I will be calling him.

Thanks anyway.

And I didn't have you down for yellow Harry. If a Hollywood actor can call Drumph a "xenophobic fascist" in a leading interview then I defend my right to address Kaczynski as a "xenophobic clown."

Life / Moving to Gdansk from Lodz - having doubts [15]


Well, lived here 30 months now. If the babcias get out of the way, then definitely. I am a fit old bugger though and don't loiter.

Feedback / Warning for posters who have been changing the names of famous Polish politicians, celebrities, etc. [90]

This is all bollocks. What about the Drumphfinator for Donald Drumph in America?

I will just refer to Kaczynski in future as "That xenophobic clown."

Life / Moving to Gdansk from Lodz - having doubts [15]


From the railway station, straight down Lutego to Skwer Kosciouszki and the sea front is 7 minutes.

Next?

Life / Moving to Gdansk from Lodz - having doubts [15]


Sorry?

Gdansk has the best tram system in Poland and two separate suburban lines now to Gdynia. Both central stations are 5 minutes to the city centre or Old Town. For Gdynia I often take the Metropolitan line via the airport, heated and a high level of comfort. 6 zlotys. Plus Gdansk especially has an extensive modern bus fleet. Gdynia has those trolleybuses, not comfortable to ride in, but efficient.

Generally, the infrastructure is second to none, and the timetables and statistics will bear up that assertion. Just cant find the energy to serve them up but take a look at jakdojade.pl.....


zl 1,200.

Language / Polish vs Russian: Which language sounds cooler? [21]


This. Polish is ugly, whilst Russian is musical.

News / Cameron's EU reform good for Poland [95]


Exactomondo.

PS: There was a chap in the UK who bet hundreds of thousands on the Scottish referundum, some of it as generous as 4-6, believe it or not. He made an absolute fortune from the bookies.

The same story here, as the ridiculous scenario of the UK leaving the Union (as with Scotland leaving the UK) is a big fat zero. The majority have some education and brains after all.

The Tories would have turned Britain back into some Dicksionian nightmare land years ago if allowed to run riot without EU legislation - good old Edward Heath understood the importance of a Social Charter, and realised the importance of a fair society, without some of Harold Wilson's barking policies.

What EU succession would do for Poles I don't know - they would find Britain a less appealing place than it is right now anyway, with the lunatics ruling the asylum.

Maybe they would feel right at home?

Life / Moving to Gdansk from Lodz - having doubts [15]


Same here, if you are lucky.....My pal rented such a place. No Mod Cons, but absolutely OK.
Gdansk has a very modern transport system, second to none in Poland. but as I said, I am no fan of the place.

I live in Gdynia:) Come on down, the more the merrier - it is by far the best place in Poland, in spite of the **** weather.

Life / Moving to Gdansk from Lodz - having doubts [15]


No. What's more expensive? Rent? Don't tell anyone the secret, but some things (food for example) are cheaper here.


Actually Gdansk is a bit of a ******** when you look deeper......


Just say hello:)


Depends how important your friends are. And what are friends? Never been stabbed in the back? That's good! You've heard the old adage "A change is as good as a rest...? " There are some cracking places here. Middle Poland is boring as. You deserve better.

History / Chance of Lwów once again became coming part of Poland [344]


What a laughable statement. Build some new towns if you're that bothered. There's enough forest to go round. And the little town of Breslau was no small prize, oh nationalist boyo:)

Law / Is it possible to get an MOT on a RHD car in Poland? [28]


The simple answer is:

Affirmitive.

Just go to the dept of transport office and hand them the Irish plates. Then tootle off to the MOT centre...lights might need work for LHD. Not much else.....

I suppose it wont be long before the insurance rates go sky high though to "dissuade" this wheeze of a cheaper car:(


Transfer it to your wife's name in the UK......? I don't see your problem:(

News / The Guardian destroys the Kaczynski twins [42]


Lol. Loved the Beano, and the Guardian has a long-lasting ONGOING history of credibility, which is unique today in the British Press, with the possible exception of the Torygraph, now that the Independent is no more, and now that The Thunderer is owned by the Murdoch Scum.

The Grauniad is an excellent source for what the Western Media really think of PIS.

Real Estate / Real Estate current condition in Sopot area (checking the market) [21]


******* Russians from Kalinigrad :(

Real Estate / Real Estate current condition in Sopot area (checking the market) [21]

Absolutely InPolska.

The prices are crazy. The only buyers would be Polish - for sentimental reasons. Why the **** would somebody pay 2 million zlotys for a smart condo, when they can get the same for half the price in the Costas?


Polish one-upmanship rulez - but as you so rightly say, the terrible shi ite climate (and cultural aspects too) are against them. Sopot is "nice", but if I had big money to splurge (as an investor). no where near that "nice."

Lovely for an old boy like me to retire to if I was a very rich man, and could afford an indoor pool or whatever, but otherwise pretty crap actually.

Life / Streaming online Polish TV [85]

Laughable.

Why would anyone pay to watch TV that is available for free - when you know where to look.

Begone with you!

Never mind about Miss Duda. Her father looks idiotic with that Friends David Schwimmer style spray on orange tan. Somebody really should have a word with the Berk:)

Law / Buying a car from Poland - any site where you can check history of a car? [15]


Now THAT is a very bad idea. Why do you think us living here buy second hand from Germany? Because you get much more car for your money and their suspension etc hasn't been damaged on Polish roads, that's why.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


Much worse in Britain. Surely Poles have humour? If you are there, you have to develop a thick skin.

Or would you censor such jesting?
