News / Poland's PIS go back to their old ways [194]


Absolutely not.

This poster will be obstructing them every step of the way, don't you worry about that.
I respect the Poland that my wife told me about, the liberal state, with a Jewish semi-skilled class, and the land of fairness and chivalry (if it existed at all).

As somebody else said, the Kwasniewski presidency was just dandy. That's the sort of Poland I want, where the president keeps it shut and the markets appreciate such.

News / PKP buys Alstrom Pendolino trains for € 665 million [60]


Severe curves, as you know. Not too bad for the historic Torpedo trains, but a roller coaster of a ride for high speed Inter-city and Pendolinos. In fact IMO the IC carriages offer a more comfortable experience, being heavier and less inclined to sudden jolting.

But of course that is totally subjective and also depends on alcohol levels:) The labrador also agreed that he hates the Pendelino, as it rides like a plane on that route.

I would be interested in others' experiences and opinions.

In a normal country Urban would have been strung up as an enemy of the state, for the disgusting way he carried himself selling the totalitarian regime. I wouldn't take his rag as an authority on how to wipe my arse.

The tilting bogey technology is old news. And on the Warsaw-Gdynia line sadly not fit for purpose.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]


Ha. I needed a laugh. That really is very good. This forum is far too serious.
The jews improved Poland immeasurably, and the catholic right have been so smug since the infamous "fight" over whether Auschwitz was solely a jewish tragedy, (it obviously wasn't, and didn't need to be fought over) and now they can't get their own way over Polanski. To punish him because he is a jew. Shame:)

Off-Topic / Some November afternoon in Warsaw... Poland Solidarity with France [44]

Well done Inpolska. You must be choking up, but feeling very proud of your heritage today.
Something that Poles are going to be lacking with this government I fear, like I do with the government in my country. You are winners, and will come through.

News / Most Poles believe current Sejm (Parliament) in Poland will be better [64]


In an recent online poll in the UK, 62 per cent of respondents said butter is good for you and the margarine lobby was flawed.

Next year they will say the opposite (again).

The same will be true here. Guaranteed :)

Huge queues, low prices, huge success for the consumer....

You want Spoolem back with it's surly staff and frozen pizza? No - I didn't think so.

But they wouldn't have come here to green field sites without tax free zones, and the work wouldn't have been there.

Case study: Johnson Controls (car seats) - Siemanowice Slaskies' largest "new" employer - 480 jobs created. In a tax free zone. Your suggestions for an alternative economic model please?

If you are talking about Amazon and Starbucks, well.... that's a loophole in the law, and we can't condone them, and they don't employ many workers either.

News / Poland's election winning party: PIS proclamations [229]


As before Ironside - I believe you don't live in Poland?

PIS undertake to/hope to (there is a difference....)

1. Revise the VAT laws (which requires new government departments) aka "job-creation" in small towns

2. "Reform" education - by scrapping Lower High schools etc - aka "job creation" in whatever towns

3. "Reclaim" missing taxes by "aggressive tax collection" - aka "job creation" in every town

4. Question bloody dark skinned foreigners wherever they are found (more customs/police/informers etc) aka "job creation" in border towns

5. Find 25 billion zlotys from nowhere out of a total state budget of 320 billion to fund the second child 500 zl bonanza, with administrative "job creation"

6. Fund the coal industry, when it is in fact a dying industry in Poland and ain't that a fact. You don't need to ask a geologist, it's stone cold economics in a poor country. With added breaucrats aka "job creation" to give the "poor miners" a bigger slice of the 320 billion zloty pie.

All socialist policies I do believe, but don't let this get in the way of your sick fairytale world.

News / Poland's election winning party: PIS proclamations [229]


You are wasting your time Inpolska. Because the word "socialism" in Polish equates (wrongly IMO) with the word for "communism" - what we would call a "False friend" between languages, a lot of Poles (PIS voters) ignorantly refuse to call PIS what they patently are.

Socialists, (and not good ones either) and far to the left of Tony Blair's Labour Party of 1997 - which most of us Brits endorsed wholeheartedly at the time....

To the OP. What breed of dog is she? My labrador is desperate for a shag and also speaks only English. He wont stand for no nosense though - she better come up with the goods - and he expects a good licking and other extras, so tell your biatch to be prepared for a right Royal rollicking.

Also - please deliver to Tri_City for walkies, as my dog has class and wont go near that ******** aka Warsaw.

History / What was better in Poland under communism? [67]


Enjoying reading this thread, after the death of Kisczak.

All of you like posters do talk some nonsense. If your parents left Poland in communist times and didn't return, their property was appropriated. And if it wasn't - they were one of them (the Party)

Otherwise known as criminal scum.

To Everyone here born after 1986 ( you wouldn't remember 1989....)

Winter 1987.....

Sosnowiec: supermarket near the Pld railway station - not the main one....

Fully stocked with...............

1. Toilet cleaner
2. Some sort of general cleaning powder
3. Stacks, and I do mean stacks - of British co-op tea.

THREE different items. In a large supermarket. Google the building, It's still there.

NO food - the meat counter was very clean.

THAT was communism. You WEREN'T there

PS: I was threatened by peoples deputies for NO reason. I just fisted the ****.

News / IBM fears racist attacks on employees on Poland's independence day [63]


No **** Sherlock.

After 23 years here of being robbed, attacked, having the police illegally battering (in vain - the sad fukkers) with a ram-rod at my steel door trying to gain illegal entry after a block domestic, with ZERO legal satisfaction but countless hours wasted in bureaucracy, being busted, and being harrassed by the police at regular intervals, you can be sure that this individual has absolutely zero to do with those criminals.

Whenever I need a wee I look for a policeman's leg.

News / Kiszczak burial without state or military honours [44]


My wife's family were miners and mining engineers Jon. I regret that in this case you know nothing of what happened. The shock, and the disgrace that this apology for a human being brought on the Silesian community could not be expressed by film or any depiction.

There is a very good reason why he has been denied a burial with honours. His was a dastardly deed and if he were British, and had so acted in Britain under the cloak of false government, he would have paid the ultimate price - no doubt about it.

PS Silesia is my second home, paid tax and ZUS there for the greater part of my working life, so feel more than qualified to voice the opinion that I wish I were there today celebratingwith some of my many friends, two of who happened to be a part of the Wujek scene..

Never was Greek mythology more apt than with Kiszczak and his sunglass wearing mate.

The saying that is bastardised as "Only the good die young".

Both of them deserved to live long lives, protected by state agents, and watching their backs, and living through daily hate.

If there is a God then they will suffer for their crimes. It's a shocking indictment on Polish society that people ***** about an artist who was publicly forgiven, but traitors were allowed to walk free.

It's the ONLY subject that I agree with PIS on. Totally non-negotiable to anybody with half a brain

News / Kiszczak burial without state or military honours [44]


I am not Polish. You're not wrong though. Can't agree with Harry's strange version of Polish history. Both Kisczak and the above were very clear on where their loyalties lay, and it wasn't Poland, whatever the apologists may have said, as in "But the Soviets will invade..."

All the Poles I was introduced to in the middle 1980s on my first sorties into Warsaw spat on Kisczak.

Martial Law was treason in anybody's book.


Nonsense Jon. We are not Polish. But we are British, or you are a British citizen.

Are you seriously saying that it was disgraceful for people to have street parties when Thatcher died? I wouldn't condone such celebrations, but having visited some of those northern towns in the 1980s, I could well understand the depth of feeling.

While Thatcher didn't have anyone murdered on the streets, outside of state security circles, such as the Gibraltar three, Kisczak certainly did.


Cough! :( Not Gdansk..... It was Gdynia (in the most part)

I wish I could :( The prose is too difficult for my reading abilities. Rzeczpospolita or similar is easier to read for second language dumbheads like myself, even though I hate the editorial. and I buy Dziennik Baltycki every weekday for Tri-City news (which also is a little tricky...).

News / Poland's election winning party: PIS proclamations [229]

What a sad world you live in. Poles are free to travel. Their choice. Go where the work is. It's so simple. What the hell do you think I am doing in Tri-City? I make more money here than anywhere else i can think of at the moment.

In 23 years in Poland all I have had is the Polish government ******* on my parade. Why would it be any different for Poles?
I have moved house 3 times in the last 3 years. It's a hard life. Nobody but nobody helped me. The opposite of course is true. So why would I want to subsidise people who can't get up in the morning?

In 4 hours I do a 12 hour day. I am 58, and will listerine myself and can manage.

What's others' problem? I don't get it:(

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


Ouch! Catty... but lost on Polonious and others, who don't have to suffer the fall-out at "home."

The first step to normalisation would be to take away their non-vote and to give it to to somebody who has actually paid 30 plus percent tax, VAT, and ZUS, and employed 30 plus people for 10 of those years, and generally helped to build their country for 23 ******* years.

Oh, wait. What a ******* stupid concept. What a ******* idiot am I?


I don't give a **** about "What Poland says."

Do you want a normal society where people have a higher standard of living - or don't you? Simple as that.

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


"Confirm" all you want. Tri-City and Opole region were the only areas to vote for economic progress. That tells us all we need to know. And for your next fantasy?


Stop being boring, and polluting this forum.

PIS is left-wing - not the opposition, of which I am a very strong and active example. If you can't afford a second child, don't ******* have one. You're not going to be subsidised by me, I can guarantee it.

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


Yeah - this is why the Polish countryside is covered with stupidly sized villas, where nobody lives, but which are minded by some poor villager for peanuts, which were built (often illegally) as an "investment."

Hilarious. Whenever a forester tells me that my forest camp is harming the environment I laugh for a full five minutes.

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


I don't.

In Katowice it nothing short of a disgrace how the church impinges on my peace and quiet, on a Sunday especially,, and as for the village community..... I would go to war and so would my dog....

Here in Tri-City people rightly live their lives as they choose - the only place of intellectual freedom in Poland actually.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

The issue here is not Polanski's past sexual attraction to pubescent girls, which has been addressed by the courts, sexologists et al, but in fact Kaczynski's lack of any intelligence and his style of running roughshod over all diplomatic protocol.

Here's looking forward to Chairman proclamation number two hundred... it's just a matter of time. As Delph said, you couldn't make it up :)

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]


Of course it is NOT the governments' business to suggest what the (independent) courts should do.

Unless you love a totalitarian society that is. That's what Kaczynski grew up in, and the poor sod is brainwashed into thinking that the state has to interfere at every turn - whilst most us couldn't give a stuff what the state thinks. It is an establishment, and as such is not on our side; it is to be pitied, or, as probably will turn out in this case, to be despised.

We think for ourselves thank you.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]


The Guardian newspaper so quotes the Chairman, unless it is a misquote - and I know who I trust more:)


But Delph comments on warped America. Rightly so. Polanski took plea bargaining and was going to be done out of it apparently. Not difficult to grasp, is it?

Unless you're naturally bitter and twisted ( Well, Poles wanted bitter and twisted, and "Every country gets...etc.....")

As for American "justice"....... Bill Cosby anyone? (Allegedly.)

Life / Halloween or Andrzejki - which is more popular in Poland? [14]

[Moved from]: Halloween Poland

I might as well put on the Kaczynski mask and go out and enjoy the pub fun. After all, I love my normal earning routine of 7 days a week, as the dog loves to eat, but this religious "holiday" puts the kybosh on that. Thank you Lord that it's a short break this year. Amen.

How many more "free days" and "long weekends" will be created now that PIS are running the show? They surely will want to reduce earning potential wherever they see the opportunity. I tremble that for us workers it is going to be more bad news and restraint of trade.

What are folks here planning for Halloween?
