Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]


you clearly know little about indian food, or how it is eaten in india. royal india is one of the best indian restaurants in warsaw, and nearly as good as the tandoori palace, which itself is commonlz reputed to be the best indian restaurant in POLAND. Ganesh made me feel ill, all sauce, and no meat, and stupid staff. you are welcome to it.

so you do not believe this figure? I know people who have been to hospital on this evil stuff. maybe try it, rather than talking about something you know NOTHING about

Life / The Polish people have a strange attitude to cats and dogs? [84]


and know you are confessing to being a cat thief? you do not FIND a cat in a car. what were you doing looking in someone elses car? why did you take the cat? did you not think that the cat clearly belonged to someone?

Travel / Fish and Chips in Warsaw [53]


neither have you obviously. it's certainly the best chips in warsaw. the sauces are fantastic, and they've even got kalasnikoffs; beat that for authenticity

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

if in warsaw try Konstancin. I'm also a big fan of Raciborskie. two lesser known beers that taste excellent.

Travel / Starbucks in Wawel Castle, Krakow. Is this a joke or true? [42]

if there's hot dog stands and burger vans outside the entrance of auschwitz then why not a starbucks outside wawel.

Food / Mother of all hangovers....Polish Beer! [71]

Polish hangovers can be monstrous - there's one way to fight them, and that's with fire. I recommend the bloody mary at sense, the intercontinental and the bristol. hangover gone in thirty seconds.

Travel / Nice restaurants in Warsaw [30]


stupid? fukier is (still) one of the best restaurants in the country, and well worth the prices. fantastic interiors, superb service, and the food - ten out of ten. I have never been disappointed. If that sounds stupid to you then maybe you should stick to eating your fish and chips.

UK, Ireland / Long-term impact of returning UK Poles to Poland [21]


another great Harry lie. You are so entrenched in the 1970s it's hard to believe. As much as you don't like it, Poland is moving forward, live with it.

News / Praising Poland can be dangerous [45]


perhaps you can do Poland a favour and go back to Scotland. I'm sure you'll find plenty of fellow Pole-haters in the sink estate pubs and aisles of Asda. Why live here if you hate everything so much, you must be a complete basket case.

Oh my god, a Harry supporter. These are dangerous times.

may I remind you it was only last week Harry wrote that Hitler should have done a better job on the Catholic Poles or words to that effect. What a fine man...

UK, Ireland / Long-term impact of returning UK Poles to Poland [21]


That I can't tell. However I have a Polish god-daughter called Amelie, it became a very popular name among 'trendy' couples after the hit film. That was what, eight years back? Poland's changed, Harry hasn't.

UK, Ireland / Long-term impact of returning UK Poles to Poland [21]

because I really can't be bothered to waste my Thursday evening rooting through legalities. However, I think the fact that so many children nowadays are being handed blatantly un-Polish names speaks for itself?

there are different branches of law, maybe you're aware? Real estate is a little different...

Estonia's economy, much like the other two Baltics, is a disaster and was hit harder by the crisis than practically any other country you care mention (I think of the EU countries, the Baltics experienced the biggest contraction). Granted the blame has little to do with communism, rather the banks of Scandinavia, a fact I think all three Baltic governments and people would agree with. Communism is no longer a valid excuse, I agree with you, but that's not to say the so called western allies should hold their heads high and forget the debt they owe a fair few countries in this part of the world.

Travel / A week in Krakow (February) - info about weather, hotels, and traffic [28]

Krakow is horrible at that time of year weather wise, but provided you're bundled up it also represents one of the few times of the year you can enjoy the city without a deluge of tour groups, backpackers and stag groups blocking your path. Bring a hat, it will save your ears, no matter how stupid you might look.

Travel / What to do in Poznan for 3 days? [21]


football brings out the worse in a lot of people, especially when a touring English side lands on these shores; the natives feel they have something to prove. Delighted to hear you had a good time nonetheless, the city is certainly is worth a visit during times less tribal. In Brovaria, the city has one of the best microbreweries in the country. Proleteryat an excellent communist themed bar with obscure Polish beers, and some generally great drinkeries. A lovely place indeed.

News / Praising Poland can be dangerous [45]


I would call a 2009 contraction of somewhere around 15% pretty disastrous. The market might be over the worst and growth projected, albeit around 2%, but that should not ignore the fact that the last two years have left the baltic tiger looking like a starved zoo animal. recover it will, I'm sure, but the whole crisis has left all three looking far from the ferocious entity of before. I don't think I'm the only person who predicts a cautious uplift, a very cautious and at times awkwardly slow uplift.


point taken, name of the book incidentally? But my original point was it is not Germany that owes Poland, but the western allies. I think modern Germany has done an astounding and sincere job of atoning for the past. They will never wipe the slate clean, memories are too bitter, but they deserve complete credit for how far they have come.

Travel / What to do in Poznan for 3 days? [21]


I was unaware you were Poznan based until I checked your profile. Was working there a lot over summer, did you visit the cargo container? madness. The Belgian beer bar remains an eternal favourite though the owner (slawek?) took a distinct shine to getting me plastered on his most dangerous brews :) Za Kulisami, however, remains my eternal favourite for smokey nights collapsed in a heap.

Travel / What to do in Poznan for 3 days? [21]


I once had a strong dislike for the city mistaking it as, dare I say it, boring. Then I got off my arse and looked beyond the hotel bars and discovered a city that was comepletely nuts. And I mean that in a positive way. Amazing place for nightlife. I think the bar by U Honzika you refer too is 'Kiselice' or something simialar? a weird basement type place? Always something going on in Poznan, as much as I love life in Warsaw would dearly prefer living in Poznan nowadays.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

If Poles wish to call each other Polack, then fair enough, in much the same way if coloured people wish to call each other nigger. I regard both words as offensive, and would never use them. However, if people from those particular ethnic/racial group wish to call each other that then who am I to judge. Of course, I certainly find it puzzling why they would ever do so other than a desperate stab at being seen as 'street'.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

explain further. My post makes it clear I have no time for what the word stands for, however you wish to spell it. Or do you struggle reading English?

Food / Health food stores in Warsaw [5]

would I know the name of it? Of course not. But there's a shop more or less Kuchnia Swiat on the lower floor of Zlote Tarasy that sells vitamins, organic products and lots of other lovely things for your body.
