Where do I sign up!


I'm sure those people whose job is to make detailed risk assessments and stringent safety regulations in order to minimise the possibility of paying customers, staff or anyone else getting maimed or killed would have plenty to say about that.

History / Study Shows Irish Voters Rejected the Nice Treaty Referendum Due to Poland's Entry Into the EU [80]

They rejected it because it was one of two items on the ballot paper. The other was controversial, this wasn't. When the ballot was repeated with EU enlargement the only item, they voted differently.

Real Estate / Bill to support Swiss currency mortgage in Poland [4]


Some of those people who said repeatedly and often at the time that others were daft not to get a mortgage in Swiss Francs and dafter when they suggested it might not be a great idea to get a mortgage in a foreign currency you don't have or earn and are now eating catfood to keep up with their payments might be able to advise you.


It was just a false election promise. Those of us voters who weren't so gullible/greedy would have a lot to say about using our tax zlotych to bail out those who were without getting our own (normal zloty) mortgages subsidised too.

Life / Would Poles prefer US or UK medical care? [112]


I waited 2 weeks.

The NHS does its job very well. It would be strange to have to think about paying money to have medical treatment and wondering what your insurance does or doesn't cover....

Life / Would Poles prefer US or UK medical care? [112]


It's still excellent after 70 years.

The thought of having anything even vaguely similar to America's crappy 'system' where thousands go bankrupt every year in order to pay medical 'bills' and where sick people have to decide if they can afford the so-called copay for a visit to the doctor or practice nurse doesn't appeal.

Life / Would Poles prefer US or UK medical care? [112]


Nobody who has experience of a better system (i.e. those in most developed countries) would want that.

The idea of people having to borrow money or sell their home for medical treatment doesn't appeal. Individual patients paying full price for medication (set by private companies!) also seems an odd thing to do in a society which can afford better and can use economies of scale.

Study / What do Poles think of a foreign person who tries to learn Polish [47]

Now that's not exactly beginners' level now, is it....

There are some very good online tests to assess language level, including Polish. What used to be called beginners', now pre-A1, just means the person can say a few simple things about them and their daily lives with frequent errors and a strain for the listener.

It's been discussed, and is at a time of year that doesn't need a holiday. Any new one is more likely to be in the autumn.


This exists, as does flying St. George's flag.


Don't forget the clog dancers in Bacup. If you've never seen it, have a look. It's amazing!

It certainly exists...

Classifieds / Fabricator sought for 1:1 scale mockup for MSPO Defence Exhibition. [14]

These people might be able to help with the model (or put you in touch with someone local who can). They'd also know about transporting large items to trade fairs/exhibitions.

Most of their people do smaller items/art pieces, but by no means all of them. Some do larger items/industrial.

Genealogy / So My Dad Had His DNA Tested; And... [22]


Probably because they don't make things up like that Jones person.


Normal. DNA is like a scattergun. As I said already, we don't have the DNA of every ancestor, nor is siblings; DNA identical (unless they're identical twins).

There's a pun in there?

Genealogy / So My Dad Had His DNA Tested; And... [22]

Seriously, these DNA tests seem interesting if someone wants to know the journey of their evolution.

Worth remembering that they're not complete; we don't have the DNA of all our ancestors, even when we look 5 generations back, not all their DNA has been passed on.

I'm pleased, Nicki, that you've found something out, whether or not it's accurate. Just remember that the really important thing is who you are now, not who your great-great-granny was.

A tiny minority. The overwhelming majority of scientists accept the fact of man-made climate change.

Try a bit harder...

News / Poland blocks any action on climate change [569]

Feel free to be in the odd minority who deny the very real fact of man-made climate change.

It is a conclusion based on observations of a great many global indicators, accepted by the overwhelming majority of scientists, the vast majority of whom have no vested financial interest in the theory.

But hey, some guy on the internet pretends it's a hoax.

There's something in that. There's one under Dw Centralny (unless it's vanished) that sold only cigs and specialised in bulk buys. Giant bags of tobacco too.
