Real Estate / What do you think of my house in Poland? Pictures and description. [66]

Does it has sewer or city?Gas and power?

I was wondering the same when thinking about heating it.

We used electric radiators and wood burning fireplaces,

Why not heat it with a propane furnace like I do ?
(Much cheaper than electric where I live anyways.)
Electric is $$$$ and a fireplace usually loses more heat then it creates unless it is designed very well.
What does it have for a water source, city pipe or well ?
How deep in Poland are the water wells on an average ?
So many variables to determine an honest price for a castle like that.

. Also had interest for a nursing home.

One of my first thoughts also until I saw that beautiful stairs case.
You would have to put in an elevator big enough for a bed to fit in.
I think it would make for a beautiful house of ill repute.

Real Estate / What do you think of my house in Poland? Pictures and description. [66]

how do any large old buildings get heated

Lots of insulation, new energy efficient windows & doors and electric heat.
The high ceilings usually have efficient fans that blow the hot air that rises back down to the living area.
Put on a pair of iżółówąńę kąłęśóńąćh over your mąjtki'ś.
That place will sell to someone that is fed up with London seeking peace and safety, has more money then they know what to do with, that wants some garden space to grow their own crops, raise their own meat, plants some fruit trees or what we call here in Texas, "A Gentlemans Farm".

Plenty of room for some live stock.....The wife likes horses or raise some grass fed organic beef.
There is so much potential there for someone with money.
You have the right idea Yosie, no hurry selling knowing it will take that special person that can't live without it and gives you your asking price without batting an eye.

Property will always go up in value simply because they don't make it anymore.
Great thread (let's stay on it and not stray) with hopes of other Poland property owners to share with us their estates.

Buddy that is one nice crib.

A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that damn thing.

I can relate to that as it is twice as hard to renovate then it is to build a new one.
Something like you have there has character that a new one would never have.
That fireplace is a focal point and could be made to look very nice.
The draw back to such a castle as that is the unending maintenance.
You would need to hire two young French maids and a Polish grounds keeper to help you keep it up.
Damn what a row to hoe just to keep that place looking nice.
Quality mate as I am very impressed. Nice, very nice.

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

I applaud you patriotism, But this would only be true of your fathers generation.

Maybe however my father taught me that "it's better to be an alive coward then a dead hero."
We won't have to wait much longer to see how patriotic the British handle the situation that will explode in this next generation.
My guess is that they will be fleeing to Poland to take refuge.

Love / Polish traditions and customs in a relationship - payments [39]

Excellent post Ziemo,
She knows exactly what buttons of yours to push to get what she wants skubus.
It's called, "power of the pouter".
She is mentally abusing you as you know how weak us males are.

as she keeps telling me no one else would want me

My advise is to get not only professional help but an open minded female friend with benefits.
Prove her wrong by taking the sex out of the equation in your relationship with her.
When she bats her eyes at you the auto mode will be off and the manual mode of your big head will be doing the thinking.

Just vision to yourself the look on her face when you tell her, "No thank you, I have lost interest in that."
Games Over !

Life / Medical / Healthcare Questions in smaller towns in Poland [10]

Not really until they can afford to Johnny,Poland is very compatable and way cheaper

Thanks buddy, so the article I read must have been posted by the Hungary Dentist Council. lol
It's not fun anymore to intentionally spell words wrong (Hungry) as they no longer take the bait. :-(

Thank you for your help also.

Life / Medical / Healthcare Questions in smaller towns in Poland [10]

I read that the costs of dental work in Hungry costs half what it costs in the United States with Hungry having quality services.
How does dental work in Poland compare, quality wise, to what you may get in Hungry ?
I have heard of many horror stories of the dentistry in Poland.
Would it be cost effect for a Polish citizen to go to Hungry for their dental work ?

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

Oh lord, now we are going to get banned for using nicks........seriously.
What about us here who are Politicall InCorrect ?
I have been called a racist, homophobe, bigot, red neck, xenophobe, yank and guess what, not a drip of blood.
But those are o.k. because they are Politically Correct to insult me.
Sticks and stones break my bones but names don't hurt me.
The only thing that seems to be getting hurt is the libtards feelings and like I said, "I would rather live in a land of "hurt feelings then enslaved by Political Correctness".

Freedom of speech and expression trumps Political Correctness. :-)

Travel / Behavior of Polish travellers on Planes. [72]

Imagine if it was in states? they would have to serve a jail time,pay a hefty fine and then get deported.

Not to mention being put on a life long no fly list out of or into the United States.

I hope you don't have to travel with a returning British stag party.

My point exactly, that's why I posted it.
And to think the Brit that started this thread actually had the gall to point his finger at the Polish.

News / Mass protests needed in Poland in front of American embassy [60]

We do not want immigrants in Poland from Middle East and we have to now physically protest against it and take a clear stand against Americans

This is not the will of America

The people of America don't want immigrants in America or Poland.
Listen to what Levi is telling you as it is the truth.

This is because of this terror1st supporter called Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!!!!!

Let me emphasize this Muslims middle name for you, 'HUSSAIN' !
You are a bit late as your protest should have taken place eight years ago when you all thought this guy was the Savior of the world.

We tried to tell you that his mission was to spread Islam (which fell on deaf ears) just like we are trying to tell you about Hillary's agenda.

So if you are going to accomplish anything constructive with your protest in front of the American Embassy to keep Muslims out of Poland, protest Hillary as her agenda is to finish what Hussain started.

You don't want them and the American people don't want them.
Seems nobody wants them !
They have murdered innocent people in every EU country except Poland.
It wasn't the American people that opened the door for them to flood into the EU, it was the greedy opportunist from Germany that did that.

You may just be protesting in front of the wrong Embassy if you really want to point fingers.
The American people tried to warn you about these people but NO, you bleeding heart liberals were all going to take them into your homes and house and feed them. Remember ?

What happened with that I wonder ?
Now you think a protest is going to make a difference at this point ?
Direct your energy into something else like securing your border like America is trying to do with a guy by the name of 'HUSSAIN' blocking it

while President elect Trump wants to deport all of the Muslims from America in the name of safety to the American people.

News / Why has the US dollar reached almost 3.99 zł in Poland? [56]

Johnny,you mean gas business will go down to tubes?

Here is an example.
At a Houston conference drawing oil-company executives and officials from producing countries, Mr. Naimi ruled out coordinated production cuts across OPEC and non-OPEC nations to address an oversupply that has caused crude prices to drop 70% since June 2014. Oil supply is outstripping demand by a million barrels a day.

Saudi said they will sell oil for $20 a barrel and still make money.
This will decimate the smaller countries oil production.
The bigger companies profits have taken a huge hit so they are selling off properties.
Yes something VERY big is coming but I refuse to go into detail to be mocked by the know it all idiots here.
The value of world currencies are going to drop unbelievable soon to the point people will not be able to pay their mortgage.
The banks in America have already prepared for this and the last place I would have my money is in a bank right now.
For example......one of my broker accounts just informed me that I must switch my money market core account to one of their
core accounts.
When I ask them if the reason for this is because negative interest rates where about to happen in the world banking market his reply was, "we haven't been informed of that yet". Yeah, right, I thought I asked a yes or no question.

All I will say is folks, hang on because it is going to be a very bumpy ride from here on out.
Even buying gold at this point will not save your assets.
The big banks will be charging you a negative interest rate (stealing your money) while they use YOUR money to make money by investing
your money plus charging you to keep your money in their banks.
Can't wait to see everyone running to the banks to withdraw their savings to put under their mattress.
Here is a website that explains it all.

News / Why has the US dollar reached almost 3.99 zł in Poland? [56]

Oil which is traded in U.S. dollars.
Saudi just announced it will let oil fall to $20 a barrel which will put a strangle hold on the smaller oil companies.
There is a glut of oil world wide right now.
The U.S. is encouraging investors NOT to invest in Russia to help the sanctions in place against them.
The value of the U.S. dollar should be dropping very soon.
When that happens you will see super inflation world wide.
This next recession is going to make 2008 look like a cake walk.

Feedback / What made you join Polish Forums & whats attractive here? [29]

I came here to educate myself about Poland in hopes to visit the area my ancestors came from.
I was mystified to find out how few Polish members there were and how the British members had taken over with belittling and insulting both the Polish and Americans driving them away.

Finding that the Polish were intimidated by five British members back at the git go when the Polish Forum was known as the "Limey Lounge".

(Since those five have become known as the "Brit Bullies".)
I decided to become a member and take them on to knock them down a notch or two because the Polish members were taking a beating from them.

I was banned after two weeks for mocking them back with insults and belittlements.
I then waited for a period of time and came back as Johnny Reb after learning not to be baited or sharing personal information about myself for them to use against me to insult or belittle me with.

and starting arguing with a group of members here, who I figured were newbees to chat/forums so started winding them and watching the reaction while laughing away

Me too as it became VERY entertaining to get those five wound up to sit back and laugh until tears ran down my face with the game changer.

I would make up obvious lies and sit back and wait for them to insult and belittle me with their "brilliant" seriousness. What a hoot.

They were famous for pointing out and mocking people for as much as spelling a word wrong because of their self brilliance.
This drove away people that had English as a foreign language so naturally I used it to my advantage and intentionally spelled words wrong just to see how long it would take for them to correct me with their brilliance.

Eventually they caught on and the fun was over so I started mocking them by insulting and belittling them back.
Finally other members started standing their ground against the Brit Bullies and the playing field got leveled out by breaking their gang up one by one. (Mission accomplished)

Some of them left out of frustration, some of them got banned and some of them learned to knock it off by being threatened they could lose their job for the things they posted.

So all in all I have learned a lot about Poland and Europe in the process.
I would really like to see more native Polish posters join the forum with their Polish expertise then listen to British expats who have self declared themselves as Polish and try to speak for the Polish people as gospel truths.

So to the OP, I am with you bro. lets keep winding them up for not only the humor but to knock them off their high horses of self brilliance.

Keep Poland Polish !

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

You may even be considered Martian in USA for all I care.

Even if you did care there is nothing you can do about it except go off thread and call me stupid.
It must just frustrate the beans out of you that Americans call each other Polish if they are of Polish ancestry.
I guess things work different here then they do in Poland because I am considered to be Polish here in America
and that's just the way the pickle squirts, like it or not.

I, as a real Polish person, never encountered any hatred on big scale towards Poles

The only hatred as an American Pole I ever encounter is a little hatred by you, a "real Pole".
Maybe that is why the English don't like Polish.

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]

Polish people love France and the French!

I am considered to be Polish in America and I don't love France but I do love Poland.
The French in my opinion are a bunch of Godless Liberal lazy socialist sissies that repeat themselves over and over about how they have lived in 50 countries and how their farts smell like flowers while the Polish are hard working God fearing people.

Long live Poland !

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

Please don't speak on the behalf of Poles. You are not one,

This is something you people in Poland refuse to accept. So sad to bad.
Here in America people with Polish ancestry are referred to as Polish.
Therefore here in America I am considered Polish weather YOU like it or not. Get it !
I have tried to be nice and respect your stinginess but as you can see I am Polish and lack Political Correctness. lol
So now that we have an understanding that I may not be considered Polish in Poland that I am considered Polish here in the U.S.A.

I have no idea how YOU may try to change those facts.

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

I agree, and yeah, I've met quite some " numskulls " in PF so far.

Me too, we call them the Brit Bullies.
Since most of the Brit Bullies here are Politically Correct and use words for their crutch like bigot, homophobe, racists to support their debates however most Poles are Politically Incorrect realizing that Politically Correct is nothing more than thought control and the Poles don't fall for it.

Let me explain Political Correctness;
Step 1. Cause people to worry offending those around them
Step 2. Once afraid to speak out, then afraid to think
Step 3. Once afraid to think it, it is never spoken
Step 4. Control of the public is achieved
The Polish here know the cure which is speak your mind and free those around you.

Since the Polish people are Political Incorrect the English get frustrated that they can't control the Pole's with their British Brilliance.
This frustrates the Brits to the point that they don't like the Polish members because the Polish members have out smarted the Brit Bullies by not playing their game of Political Correctness.............but only on this forum.

That's why the English don't like the Polish.
Class dismissed

O.K., most and God knows what else as we are guinea pigs as we have seen so many side effects turn up ten and twenty years later when we are forced to comply.

News / Poland's Prime Minister Szydło keeps American bulldogs on short leash [36]

(below your mighty McPain)

Good one as that is exactly what he is. A pain in the ass to even America.

If the Trumpster gets elected I think you may have your wish granted.
Trump has said that the United States can no longer police the world.
He mentioned that now Europe has rebuilt and became rich again that they can fight their own military battles.
Call America if you start getting whooped but otherwise start protecting yourselves as America has it's own borders to secure.

It is in American interests to have NATO base in Poland

No, it is a huge unnecessary expense for America and certainly not appreciated.

we look up to untie America as an idol even though something tells us that this not right

You are very wise Ktos.
America is very close to becoming a third world country by being brought to it's knee's.
I foresee much suffering in America in the near future.
Before most of you, back in the early 60's, a guy from Russia named Nikita K. stated, "We will not have to fire a shot, you will destroy yourself from within."

Sad to say but the old boy seems to have been right on as it is happening at mock speed as we speak.

News / Poland's Prime Minister Szydło keeps American bulldogs on short leash [36]

Senator McCain is not a "lower rank politician", he's a senior Republican Senator and a very heavy hitter.

Delph I must respectfully disagree with you 100%.
McCain is a "Has Been" and basically being ignored these days.
He is a nobody and should have retired a long time ago.
Like Trump has stated, "McCain is not a war hero just because he got captured in Vietnam.
He has played this with his political pot and pan banging to his advantage until it finally wore out.

Compared to McCain in particular, she's a mouse against a lion.

Not in 2016. McCain has been called out and put in his place by the senate committee.
He doesn't have much respect anymore.

McCain is *the* man when it comes to defence

That maybe was true thirty years ago but hardly anymore.

Senator McCain is far more important in the world than the Prime Minister of Poland.

Most likely pretty equal.
Like Harry said, "they are both puppets."
Delph when you talk about the American government I cringe with your ignorance in the same way you cringe when I try to be an authority on the PiS.

The conclusion is that we both should stick to what we know.
The Prime Minister of Poland should be respected for standing up to a McCain's insults.
She did an excellent job.

Off-Topic / WB's body building and general fitness thread [97]

Canned tomato's are the worst of all of them. Just look at the sodium content in them.
Frozen vegetables steamed would be hard to tell the difference from fresh.
There is a difference but worth the price difference in my opinion.
Red meat is so unnecessary in a persons diet because of the fat content and digestibility.

Chocolate is my problem

Moderation is the key to that.
Personally I live on wild caught Alaskan Red Eye salmon, hard boiled eggs and greens of all kinds.
A snack before I go to bed is my downfall.
