IMO Hudsonhicks used to be an owner of a corner shop which has since gone off business due to multitude of Polski Skleps in the neighbourhood.
That's my opinion after reading about a gazillion of his threads where the Polski Skleps seem to be his main target.

Yes, it is a Polish cult motorcycle! Many boys and young men dreamt about having one in 1960s-70s.
I will be honest with you. I am not a cunning photographer. The reasons why I sometimes take a nice photo is:
1. I always carry my compact camera on me. I even sleep with it, just in case. :):):):)
2. I always take a lot of pics. E.g., I took about 6000 photos at the seaside, deleted 2000 (200 a day on average) on the spot, processed the rest and chose nearly 3000 to load onto my accounts. With such amounts, there are always two or three pictures which I like very much.

We passed through Lesko this summer (going to Bieszczady Mountains) and went to the Jewish synagogue and cemetery. Yes, the latter is ruined. I hope one day the authorities will gather enough funds to have it renovated, especially that the oldest tombstones there go back to 16th century.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szyd%C5%82%C3%B3w
In 1929 Szydłów, already part of Kielce Voivodeship, had 2246 inhabitants, of which 30% were Jews. During World War Two, Germans opened a ghetto here, and the village itself was partly destroyed. In 1960 the population was 1402.

I got the feeling though that the heart had been ripped out of the place, probably when the Jews were taken.

That means I am neither. I remember each corporal punishment I applied on my students.
Does it mean one can get higher benefits if they prove themselves in the PF?
If a man can't remember beating a twelve-year-old child with a cricket bat, he's either a liar or insane.

For starters you're actively conversing in English on an English language forum, that pretty much makes you a different breed!

Shyt, I made a mistake, I thought it was Liberator, but checked another close-up photo of it and you are right, it is B17!
Good sight you have, I admit.
Sorry for denying it before, buddy!:):):):)
Nope, it`s not about Warsaw, B17s were used to raid Nazi Gdańsk in 1943-44.
Again, no big philosophy here. I told you to break/look through the glass, see the model plane and associate it with the glass structure which you thought was the door.
Sorry for misleading you by it. :):):):)
Here is a better view of the model B17:
That is a B17G mate, its the under chin .50 mounts give it away. Flying Fortress.

Pretty sure thats the model/mark of B17 used by the USAAF for their single re supply mission to Warsaw,is that anything to do with it?
