Life / Best Polish production TV show [12]

check out ekstradycja , a great series about police officer trying to take out a drug kingpin and related corruption from his own ranks. Produced in the nineties, it was a nice commentry on the social ills that came with the shock therapy of capitalism. On torrent most episodes have english subtitles. Was a seminal series.

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

Yep.. out of the european lcc's easyjet is my favorite, I would think okencie will now get honest and start to lower their charges to attract easyjet. Would be great to fly to charles de gaule airport on easyjet instead of that dreadfull Beauvais.

On real life tests czech still comes out on top, transport infrastructure, less crime, better social services etc. All of these are the result of the country being richer.

Good! I can buy much better toilet paper in a supermarket. Delicate and scented. Don't despair. A similar paper is stll available. It is called GWno. No problems finding it.

Law / Got Polish citizenship, now I need a Pesel and passport [26]

Yes you must have a registered address 'meldunek' if you want to apply in poland. Better to do it overseas in the country of your birth. However if you rent you can get meldunek.

I am pretty sure that you need a dowod osobiesty first before you can apply for polish passport if you apply inside poland.

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]


Yes it does because the charges at okencie are to high for low cost airlines. It is a proven model in many cities to have a 'main' airport for traditional carriers and a 2nd 'basic' and further out airport for low cost airlines.

There will be more lcc flights to warsaw which in turn will stimulate demand.
Also 2 airports will lead to more competiton. The fact that wizz is moving to modlin means there is a chance easyjet will be lured back to okencie

Life / What is wrong with Poznan? [197]

I like Poznan, its the most westernised city in poland, the average income is higher than most polish cities, Its not overun by drunk pommy tourists. i feel safe walking around, the kids are allright and its fun! plus its beutifull, poznan ftw

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

Thats right the airport bus will go to Novy Dwor with new services from central.
A train station at modlin airport with skm trains running from central is planned within a year of the airport opening. There is already an rail siding to the airport so it just needs to be electrified and cleaned up. The problem that Modlin is facing is that it will be already overcrowded when it opens, it was built too small and will remind people of the dreadfull etudia terminal at okencie years ago.

This is a good article that shows how ryanair and wizzair do not really compete as they are both funded by indigo partners. Since then they have a few routes that they share but never to the same airport.

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

ryanair wants to open up a massive base at modlin, but they seem to have a dodgy non compete agreement with wizz air (same investors) so i guess wizz air will be the main player here. Harry, there will be a bus to the railway station a few km down the road.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

Wow the dude from PO basically told the US to butt out, that poland and the US are sopoused to partners, this is an internal matter and the US should act more appropriately.


Spot on but it seems that the winds of change are too blowing over poland i again, this apathy is not shared by the youth who are in their early 20s and under, However the late 20s generation are very materialistic and don't really care about politics or social change. Generaliastions i know but they mostly hold true.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

sorry i meant after the fall of communism , people just sort of accepted the laisre faire american model. I was talking about contempory issues like the iraq war, corrupiton and health care etc I guess this is a natural process after fighting so long to get rid of communism.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

There were thousands of protesters in lublin of all places, this is turning into a big issue and is getting world wide coverage. It's interesting that poles hold the freedoms of the internet so dear., perhaps because society is so conservative and also older people have not learnt to protest about bread and butter issues but with something as new as the internet the youth are leading the way. I am proud of poland and its youth in there enthusiastic desire to agitate for change and standing up to power. The upcoming protest in warsaw this weekend should be huge!

USA, Canada / Getting a VISA to USA by a Polish person nowadays [339]

yes indeed, well put. Many polish politicians understandebly are still in the cold war mindset and view america as their benelovent saviour. In fact this is spread across the whole population, american culture is revered, there are queues to get into pizza hut. etc

News / Polish hero pilot lands 767 without wheels. (Warsaw) [191]


This is BS, the reason the original 350 design was cancelled was that airbus believed udgar hazy about the marketing dept power of the 787. Composites so far have failed their test in wheight reduction and cost reduction.. If airbus would have hanged toughed and made a 330 rewing/reengine they would have killed it in contrast to 787 delays. Instead even if they are using anothe composite technique to layer plastic to create an airframe and yes like the 787 there will be delays but not just as ridicuoulous as the boeing, basically the 787 was the epitome of the incompetent mcdonald douglas management taking over boeing. and airlines like lot are payiing the price

News / Polish hero pilot lands 767 without wheels. (Warsaw) [191]

sure poles will ***** about lot but they are still proud of their airline, eurolot is v slowly introducing cheap domestic fares and overall the carrier is progressing, as the pprune forums attest other pilots are v impressed with wrona's skills.

Nothing to do with pwei and you being attacked, everything to do with you not knowing what you are talking about.

Actually the tragic story Lot flight 5055 was that they were refused landing by idiot military flight control at modlin even when their the plane was burning up.

More proof you know nothing about aviation.

hmm i would rather believe someone who says he is a pilot of a 767 and gives his expert 'opinion, rather than some idiot who thinks the smolensk report did not point to pilot error. polmed stop poluting this thread.
