Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

Shyt, I didn`t believe Wrocław Boy but it might be true what he says that some products are more expensive in Poland. I bought an external 750 GB disc for 350 PLN and checked the average price in the UK which is about 75 pounds. That`s outraegeous!!!

News / Kaczyński presents alternative to PO thievery [26]

though the Pol-Am twits are a special breed I see

Please, be tolerant. They only got lost in life, that`s all. We are helping them come back to reality.

That's right. The term is TEFLON. :-)

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]

Stop drinking Sobieski:

Stop drinking Sobieski:

A clash of drinking cultures:

Polish
Clear Polish vodka
and Polish lager beer
rarely Polish wine
British:
Polish Cider
Whisky
and beer called ale.

Probably you don`t know about but Polish children receive presents twice in December. First, on 6 December, called Santa Claus day. In the morning, children find presents under their pillows. I will never forget some of presents I got as a kid.

The other time of present giving is at Christmas. Not on 25 December as in UK/UK, though. In Poland it takes place on Christmas Eve, 24. Presents are stored under the tree and opened after Supper.

Off-Topic / Loading a photo of Poland from your mobile/cell phone takes 30 seconds, come on! [86]

Pawian, there's an easier way. Just email the photos from your phone to your email account.

Good idea. But that can be trickier for some people than using Bluetooth or another.

And what's these pictures of bookshelves?

They are the closest to my comp.

JK

I haven`t got her on my shelves. My eldest son has one book in kids` room. :):):):)

Is this the "real" Poland?

If I currently live in Poland, it must be real Poland, must`t it? :):):):)

See more. Some, like dictionaries, have got obsolete and are mere decoration today but I still keep them. Or the book about Polonez repairs. I am so sentimental sometimes.

Let's remember though, that all the great subway systems began as Warsaw's: point A to point B.........It's just the start

The continuation will look like this and it is for serious:

ok- I will play. how do you do it? I have an iphone so if it is more complicated than necessary I won't do it.

I am happy to be of help.

1. Take a photo in the morning, afternoon, evening or night..
2. Connect your phone to the computer with a cable. I heard you can use wireless connection on some phones, too.
3. When in PF, click reply button. Under the first row of icons, can you see [+] attach files ?
4. Click on it and attach your photo files. You have to find their location on your phone.
You can add 4 in one post.
5 Mind that all your attached files will be always displayed at the end of your post.

Matchbox!!! Do they even exist and if so are they being produced/sold? :-) Lovely.

Yes, Matchbox cars, available for hard currency in Pewex shops in my childhood. The ones in the photo are the dearest to me. As far as I know, Matchbox still makes toy cars but not the same models, of course.

Here goes. Do you recognise this place?

Is it one of Orthodox churches in Podlasie region?

News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]

o Exist? Why it would be a problem?
Even India has a food surplus that is four times what would be ever required in the time of emergency

India has billion people living in 25 states, speaking 19 major languages and over a 100 dialects, practicing over about 6 religions and belonging to thousands of castes and sub-castes. Each state differs so widely in economic and social development that it is difficult to speak of the country as a whole.

History / Was PRL Poland? [37]

A lot of older people miss it.

Yes. Reminds me of an old joke:

An old aristocratic French lady was asked about the happiest time of her life.
- The times of French Revolution.
- What? The time of massacres, round ups of nobility, hunger, war and debasement?
- Yes, it is all true, but don`t forget I was 18 then.

Study / What subjects are taught as general ed in average Polish highschools? [8]

Do the kids have practical as part of these subjects or is it all theory?

Good question. It depends on the school. Most are underinvested so it is mainly theory. E.g., In Chemistry class, Polish kids do extremely difficult exercises. I hated them in my biological-chemistry class at high school.

because it's forbidden by law to let them play with chemicals :)

or to cut open a frog and other little friends of human.

No, you halfwit, I am trying to develop and inspire this forum and not others. Is it so hard to understand such obvious things? :):):):):):):)

The close up of the shelves:

Sorry, once I tried to keep books in order according to their subject but I stopped a few years ago. It is sisyphean task. Yes, I am fekking messy, I am not afraid to admit it!

The toy cars you can see in the first pic are my fav ones from my childhood. I store them off my kids` hands as a great keepsake. Can you recognise the producer?]

Here goes. Do you recognise this place?

Jon, let me remind you that the riddle photo thread is here: Poland in photo riddles.

I hope you don`t mind. Thanks. :):):):)

Guys, why don`t you post photos of Poland which you have taken on your mobiles? Connecting the phone to your comp takes 3 seconds, finding the file with photos next 10 seconds. Selecting a photo and posting it here - about 15 seconds.

What`s wrong with you? You can`t spare frigging 30 seconds? ??????
