News / Will Komorowski be Poland's worst ever president? [72]


who exactly are you talking about? dumb masses voted on Kaczynski, and "K." is a pretty vague abrev when 2 candidates surnames begin that latter..

Sorry Seanus, my bad - you were talking about the relationship between M and P, and I though mistakingly that you are refering to the Smolensk catastrophy, supposed Russian meddling in it and in the polish election. I jumped to conclusions before digesting your post. Sorry.

I personally think that Putin is the real driver of the country and Medvedev is but a decoy, a face that is a bit more human..

All right I guess I can't say anything against conspiracy theories can I? But Kaczynscy had their own communist affiliation - lets remember Magdalenka for all the conspiracy fans.

Same as it was during Lech presidency - Jarosław was pulling all the strings, and that's how it usually is in countries where both prime minister and president are from the same parties and prime minister holds most of the power. Bleeting about it won't change the fact that every gov does it. Congrats for masters of the obvious.

Very bad points Polityka
Wrong public TV belonged and still belongs to PIS...

Komorowski won't be a great president but he won't be bad.

exactly, why the hell are everyone so sure it's over.. they haven't even released the first vote counting numbers


That is how politics works, of course this only applies to people easily influenced by populistic slogans and those who do not understand how economy works and so on..


I'm baffled, I was pretty sure all Marek Jurek voters will surely vote for Kaczyński..

I don't like how they are all cheerful in the PO headquarters.. It's still too early, such a thin difference..

News / Komorowski won Poland's presidency vote? [125]

I think it's much much too early to announce the winner... Kaczynski has won earlier in a similar situation..

News / Poland still developing strong economy despite red tape [8]

In other countries there's more private sector bussiness and less public - hence more people actually caring about their jobs.

Well.. exactly same situation was when PiS was in power, it was awful so let's check the other option now.

Life / Does anybody care about the elections in Poland? [26]


iCare by Apple now in stores.


People read/watch it later, I haven't seen a single one live.. just read about them later on.. I have to agree that people rarely talk about the upcoming voting..

but I'd say it is more like a silance before storm

History / Battle of Warsaw movie in production [24]

I have to say I'm also happy that this is not something novel based, finally some big war movie by Hoffman that's not connected to Sienkiewicz :)

History / Battle of Warsaw movie in production [24]

Haven't heard about this movie but I'm much more interested in watching the one Tomasz Bagiński is working on.. anyways it's nice to see something's brewing, I hate to admit but most of polish cinematography nowadays is about midiocre comedies..

"Jest bystry jak woda w kiblu" - vaguely similar ;)

Love / I'm a black African man and can't cope with my Polish mother in law [34]

I'd kill her and bury the body in the garden. There are control freaks everywhere not only in Poland disguised as moters-in-law. You should have a serious talk with your wife about it and it's strange if you haven't had talked about it with her yet...

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]


stop moaning about the victory parade which this thread is clearly not about. Back to the topic - many pilots of all the countries claimed more shoot downs than they actually did. Basically pilots took hits for granted if they have noticed smoke or fire and the plane disappearing at the corners of their eyes. I've read "Poles in defense of GB" by Polish authors and they wrote that on numerous occasions polish pilots have misreported shot down planes that later turned out to come back to the german base safely. A pretty interesting book consists mainly of reports by english german and polish pilots (so is a bit boring if somebody doesn't like reading) It says a lot about some of the heroic flights by Poles but in the same moment it's not sugar icing. There's a lot of critic of polish pilots having hard time getting used to the steering and general handling of British planes (which they destroyed frequently and were sent back to training, some even over and over again) or multiple cases of friendly fire by Polish pilots. Despite massive failing instances I personally think they did a good job there. Case closed. ;o


damn I must be really tired ;) "doesn't like reading tables with lots of numbers and similar data" ;)

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

I haven't mentioned any peasant jargons - but accents are same for educated and non-educated people. Hence I can't see the need to degrade some poor babcias ;) Actually countryside - if that's what you mean by mentioning "peasants" - is the natural habitat for sustaining different accents and dialects...

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]

There were at least 2 threads about accents and how accents are not dialects and slang and I can see another dispute regarding that brewing already ;) I'm a born and brew Silesian but I don't have an accent (at least that's what some girls in Warsaw said)... I think it'd be hard for anyone to guess what part of Poland I'm from.

Showing exact pronunciation on the forum, impossible task anyways,

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]

I heard "dzięks" plenty of times long time ago ( like 10 years ), used by people who never met any expats and had low language skills. Thought of it as another "pozdro" or "nara"...

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]
