That phrase has puzzled me for decades. I use it now. It can't be to do with "sailboats" which she mentions separately.

Anna Maria Wesołowska was considered a 'paradokumentalny serial' whatever that means.

Whereas in reality, most contributing to the thread know rather more and some have direct experience of the situation.
The rhetorical style owes a lot to South Park's Cartman character. It reminds me of a fat bloke from the Socialist Workers' Party who I once listened to; drivel dressed up in weak rhetoric.

Harry can't reply, sadly, however what you need is a Certifykat Niekaralnosci from the police station. Having said that, if you're a citizen of an EU/EEA country any offences for which you've been convicted in PL will show up on the records in the U.K.

It's been one of the biggest successes of the last 200 years. Universal franchise, public healthcare, free education, safety at work, workers' right, racial equality, women's rights, LGT equality and social housing.
If anything else were true, the right-wing would be smiling rather than constantly whinging about Socialism.

No, Bieggers. The referendum contained more than one question, and was largely about abortion. They repeated the question (on its own) the following year and it passed.
Only a psychologist could answer that question.
