He's a Yank, that's a problem indeed. I hope you learnt your lesson.

There's one small problem with that, it’s hard to find a proper address for the figment of your imagination.

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Have you really thought it through? You had ample of time to straighten out your Arabian fairytale.


At this day and age UAE is not some backwater, they have modern banking institutions in place. Are you expecting me to believe that someone whom you think of as an honest businessman did not do his research before taking a trip abroad? That he had no one to fall back on and no way to arrange for more funds to be transferred over to the nearest bank for his needs but begged for the kindness of a complete stranger without even offering him to pay back every single złoty? Would such a kind and generous stranger believe in any of his tall tales? Would he seriously contemplate a business partnership and entertain a notion of going with him to some faraway place he never been to? I met plenty of Arabs and in my experience I can honestly say they are very business savvy, even the street vendor you happen to bargain with over the price of some trinket. While on the surface it may seem like it’s very kind and Christian of you, I just don’t buy it.


Good for you, I just hate snobby rich bastards. This would explain your generosity very well as the rich bastard would simply not be capable of such generosity. Finally something I can truly believe in.


Never said you were; but you’re no Arab either, just some troll.


That’s just it, even the most hardened of criminals in Poland don’t joke like that, did not happened. Allah Yusa amah.


I never said it did, all I’ve ever said is that I can’t believe someone would fall for a story like that to be true. Take a trip to Egypt or any other Arabic country sometime, you’ll see for yourself that even the street vendor there is not as stupid as this troll paints himself to be, you wouldn’t be able to take advantage of him, if anything you’ll be taken for a ride.


That’s not very Ladylike of you but I like your spunk.


I don’t, nonetheless the name suits me just fine.

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]


Oh how dense can U be? You think I don’t get the story? That’s exactly my point; if someone invited you to Poland to hook you up with some kind of business opportunity when you previously had to provide him with the most basic of needs, would you believe he’s a businessman? Would you go? Would you believe he’s capable of being in business for himself yet alone having any kind of meaningful business contacts? A bum is a bum, perhaps you would but as far as I’m concerned that’s the reason why this story is so unbelievable, holds no water, another words (wyssana z palca). No one can be that stupid! Assuming and I strongly emphasize this word here that this story is true, then you and the Arab here have not an ounce of brains between the two of you. You let the emotions rule instead of common sense and logic so you fall prey to the most unbelievable of scams. Like I’ve said a sucker for a sob story. I know better.


You did for this one so give it some time, when the story is sad enough for you, you will.


He’s talking out of his a** you simply confuse his farts for poetry.


That statement sure makes it crystal clear for me now, finally I understand why you Yanks swallow the most unbelievable of lies hook line and sinker.

Genealogy / I'm half Polish American, but I'm very Patriotic about my ancestry [47]


Interesting, according to your logic there was no such thing as Polish-Jews in second republic either over the age of 19, all foreign Jews - Russian, German, Austro-Hungarian. I Love it! Couldn't agree with you more, explains their eagerness to collaborate with the enemy too.

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]


Trolling, for all you know he could just as well be some forum member having a bit of fun here. I’m a born skeptic, never trust anybody. You Americans have one thing in common which seems to be your national trait; you’re just suckers for sob stories. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet? Even Powel made the presentation at UN based on a false story presented to him by your own intelligence agency. Prof Positive liars are everywhere. How much did that cost the tax payer?


That’s right, someone tells you he is a big businessman although he can’t pay his own bill and you believe it? Serves you right I’ll say. Perhaps that’s the reason why so many of you fall for those Nigerian scams.

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]


How would you know? Are you the niece perhaps?

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]

Assuming your story is true which I doubt:


Clue number 1: a business traveler who can't pay his own bills can't have a prospering business.
Clue number 2: a month really? At that point he's not simply down on his luck but a nuisance at best.


Clue number 3: As a businessman you should know the difference between soliciting someone with a legit business contract (beneficial to both parties) and a scam artist. So where's that business community you speak of? Any of them in your field of business? Not interested is a proper answer to the rest, short sweet and professional.


Clue number 4: Marketing what exactly? I thought you've said you did not make any deals?


Finally a voice of reason on your part.

Sounds like the two of you discussed some kind of business deal but by the language used this just can't be legitimate. Lucky for you he didn't offer you a deal you couldn't refuse - what an amateur. On my own turf, I would have been more persuasive.


Tell all really. My understanding is that this sort of thing is part of your culture. W dupie byłeś, gówno widziałeś. Troll!

I hate to say it but you simply are not reading the right material; time to do some grown up reading and broaden your horizons beyond the comic strips and tabloids. The Slavs are the largest mass of European peoples sharing common ethnic and linguistic roots encompassing Half of Europe in their realm and it’s still Tara incognita in your tiny understanding of the world’s history

No worries mate, people there freely sign their own death sentence especially when they are uninsured or under-insured, all for a privilege of proud organ donor to be displayed on the back of their driver license.

Love / How many Polish men are Violent how much is domestic abuse reported. [129]


I wonder how seriously it’s taken in Northamptonshire. I heard it from a friend who……….. indeed! There were approximately 11,000 incidents of domestic abuse in the county you live in alone in 2010. Given that reported incidents are thought to make up only 35% of actual instances of abuse, this would mean that as many as 31,400 people could have been victims of domestic abuse in Northamptonshire during this time. Now add to that the child abuse cases and the figure is truly astonishing, a real eye opener, and here you are on a crusade to fix a faraway place, laughable! Go hug a tree!

PS. Hint: Your cause is Nobel indeed but please start fixing the place you live in, it has much more impact on your own personal life. Besides one good look at the statistics tells me there’s a much greater need for activists like yourself to be involved in the needs of your own local community, if you truly believe in the Couse that is. Who gives a sh** what they believe in when you can’t see the tree because of the forest you live in.

Genealogy / Skicewicz - Original spelling of last name [6]


If the root of your surname is "Skic" it probably is in its correct and unchanged form. In that group you'll find surnames like (Skic, Skica, Skicaj, Skicak, Skiciak, Skiciński, Skiciuk, Skicki, Skiczak, Skiczek, Skiczewski, Skiczko, Skiczuk, Skiczyński), however no Skicewicz. So if you were looking through some database of surnames and can't find yours, having doubts now it is still possible it remained in its unchanged form however rare it may be and don't let the fact that it doesn't figure on some database of surnames steer you in the wrong direction. The lack of its presents on some list does not necessarily mean that it never existed in that form at some time in the past. Given that the root "Skic" means (someone active, of vigorous or hyper nature) and the suffix "ewicz" (son of) the X-ewicz is "son of X" in English. It all points to its legit unchanged form. There's no "Skciewicz" either but that sounds unnatural to me so I would exclude this possibility. Unless you really find yourself at a dead end in your research I would stick to what you have in front of you and what you know before contemplating any possibility of it ever being changed.

Actually that’s a practice drill for what the future holds for them so they better get used to it. Soon to come the practice drill for the more lazy types, those that stayed home stuffing themselves with leftovers; Cyber Monday and Encore Tuesday. LOL

Life / Some Polish dogs have a very miserable life [46]


As oppose to how civilized the Yanks can be? LOL Haven't you ever heard of Michael Vick's and his passion for one particular sporting event featuring dogs as main attraction or all those puppy mills in the states? Chained dogs outside in winter? perhaps you never heard of or seen Iditarod race either? Amusing how quickly the Yanks judge others yet totally silent on what is really happening in their own back yard. Now hear's something for you to chew on, perhaps you should lead by example, never-mind looks like you already do.

Why? Just because we don't gobble up as many burgers and hot dogs as them on that day, ;) LOL. To each their own. Yanks like to compare, we don't. Are the firework displays a measuring stick to go by?

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


What’s the point when both of you are full of sh*t. All that talk of not flying unless it’s a brand new plane etc. The 1983 Air Canada's accident involving Boeing 767-200 shouldn’t have happen I suppose since it must have been a brand new plane considering the 767-200 first entered service in 1982. Just like a woman, if it ain’t new and shiny it’s worth a damn. For you the glitter makes the difference so what’s there to talk about? Take out your mirror, your nose needs powdering; it shines from all that excitement or did the old body get an upgrade? LOL

Genealogy / Przemysl, Poland? Kukura family [2]


Very much so, it’s one of the oldest and the most beautiful Polish towns but fast becoming a main tourist center in the Podkarpacie region.

The surrounding area has a lot to offer too, the castle in Krasiczyn is one of the most beautiful treasures of Renaissance in Poland, Piątkowa home to St. Demetrius wooden Greek Catholic church regarded as one of the most attractive churches in the Podkarpacie region just to name a few. Virtually a mecca for a history, architecture and nature buff. Wherever you’ll go you’ll see vast landscapes, nature at its best if you like less crowded places that is.

UK, Ireland / Poles and the English are all the same underneath. Funny really (UK perspective). [8]


You seem to fit in very well then, one big rant while trying very hard to keep your composure, all in two weeks time on this forum. Angry? Are we? LOL


He’s a coward who’s too scared to vice his opinion as registered member, hats off to stash1 for not doing the same but who’s to say that’s not Him or just another Brit doing it?

Why hope for a miracle? Perfect storm is brewing already, all it needed was a few choice words placed here and there. Save the Scotland lads, I enjoy good glass of scotch from time to time.


Who are you kidding? That’s the reaction you’ve been looking for, now off to the sidelines to enjoy the show?

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


Just did in your own example. Pilot thinking the gear is down as the horn never sounded again, official ruling Pilot Error. No brainier for the Boeing expert.

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


This will be even clearer when the Boeing expert will rule it pilot error as in all of their investigations, after all there’s company image at stake, fine details hidden deep in the pages of investigation but the caption Pilot error will figure prominently at the top, in big bald letters so you can’t miss it.

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


Your picture is a LIE!!
This indeed was a belly landing after the crew forgot to lower the landing gear, ruled pilot error but the investigation revealed that there is a design flaw. When you pull the throttles back on a 747 you get a warning horn if the gear is not down. Normal procedure is to pull the gear horn lever to stop the noise but if you never advance the throttles again you will never get another warning.

In 2009, a C-17 also made a gear up landing, pilot error again, the entire crew missed all the warnings at Bagram air base, Afghanistan. There’s a hell of a difference when you’re blissfully unaware of the problem and it’s simply pure luck and no one gets hurt.

Is that your best reprisal? LOL It was a cooperative effort, even Russians did their part. Typical Yank taking all the glory and credit yet again, like no one else contributed. Besides what happen almost 70 years ago does not make the previous post false or what you have become. Shove it!
