Language / Pronunciation difficulties for Poles speaking English [40]

It is obvious the most problematic are the unique sounds which don`t exist in Polish.

My list according to difficulty from my students` experience:
ŋ - ing (No 1 worst sound to learn)
ð - the
θ - math
æ - cat

News / Former Polish MP caught driving without a license..... twice in one day! [17]

As a diplomatic (and conflict adverse) American, I prefer 'mistaken'.

You can stay diplomatic if you prefer, but I prefer to be straighforward - he is a liar who repeatedly claims sth which isn`t true and later refuses to provide sources and even threatens people to report them to mods when they insist. Isn`t it pathetic behaviour???

He would be "mistaken" if it had happened once, or twice, no more. But he`s been doing it every week since the day we met in the PF 10 years ago. It is his obsession which I try to cure. hahaha

so I'm not going to waste my time to bring up sources. I might do it for maf thought.

OK, do it for maf, I don`t care. As long as you don`t provide sources for your false claims, you are a liar. Isn`t it simple? :):)

Are you Harry?

Sources, Iron! :):)

talk about things and issues you have no clue about.

Sources!

still left and PO people are even worse...

Sources, you pathetic liar!

If you keep doing it I'll consider it bulling and report you to the mods.

Stop those moronic threats and provide sources at last!

hahaha

Love / Why am I so sad about the fact that Polish guys are so good [11]

BTW, were you talking about this type of appearance?

I received feedback from the viewers who think I posted a photo of Polish gays. Of course not, they are famous guys, hetero, just very good friends: the mayor of Warsaw and a popular actor - both married and with kids.

ou won't just get a 'Yes' for an answer. It will be Yes, Yes Yes, Yes, or even Tak,Tak, Tak,Tak.

In my case it is always No, No, No, No coz I say so when my wife asks me if I ever dump her when she is no longer young and beautiful and has nothing but her aching soul.

Not only because I am one of those lovely Poles.

Such two as three of us will suffice for four!

Life / A big guy controlling parking spaces in Warsaw [5]

I actually captured him in action shaking down

Forgive him, he was in a bad mood, everybody is from time to time, he just learned that his wife had cheated on him.

I saw him standing with his arms folded and I think blocking a guy from going back to his car

That blocked guy had been rude to another driver, they had argued over a a free space, and the parking carer just wanted him to apologise. Simple.

Real Estate / Rough idea on rental prices for Wroclaw, Poland [13]

Do you want a small apartment closer to the centre or bigger one further from it? How close? The Old Town and vicinity, the locations around it or suburbs? What rental conditions? Weekend/weekly rents from tourists or steady income from one lodger? Why Wrocław and not Poznań or Krakow? How much rent do you expect?

No, you need to prove your claim. Saying it doesn't make it so. I don't need to do a thing.

hahaha I love your "logic" now. My claims are always based on plausible grounds - e.g,, I only ask you to provide sources for your falsities.

As you are again unable to do it, of course you know it proves I never cease to be right about you: liar,liar. :):)

People who are working there should be fired regardless of their personal qualities

Only a complete nutter could propose such a thing.

They are also good looking, maybe not everyone but you can find some cute Polish guys.

Yes, but those cute guys are large minority. Polish men aren`t as handsome as Polish women.

BTW, were you talking about this type of appearance?

Such a system and judges as they are is just a disgrace and an obstacle for Poland

There are 10.000 judges in Poland. A few black sheep don`t represent the whole group. PiS reform is directed at one main aim - to have their own judges who might be of use in emergency, like lost elections, for example. This is happening now - the latest Senate election protests submitted by PiS will be dealt with by PIS judges. I wonder what they will say.

I don't care what you think. You are clearly not a wise or sane person.

Any intelligent decent person should care when other guys of the same qualities call them liars and manipulators. I called you one a few dozen times and you never ever have been able to prove I was wrong. That is why I am still calling you a compulsive liar, coz you lie even in the Polish Music thread when you post foreign bands, instead of Polish ones. hahaha

I asked you to provide sources for your claim about a leftist driver who got away with causing an accident.

Nice? Idiotic nationalist nonsense, set to appeal to who?

As I said, if it was nasty antiPolish stuff, you would happily join in, like you did many times in the past.
Get lost and let us, native Poles, take care of this cute troll on our own. He/she is so adorable.

Of course it is trolling but a nice one so shut up. If it was nasty, you would join in happily, like in the past. Sorry, Doug, but I must reproach you for your double standard - it is not a gentlemanly attitude. :):)

Yes, they are persistent trolls, but they are OUR trolls, not Facebook`s.
That is why knock it off, please.

his sweet, innocent, smile was the thing that made my day light up

Some people are lucky to have very friendly facial features. One of my freshman students has it, too: when he grins, and he does it very often, he raises his eyebrows in a peculiar manner which makes his smile twice as funny. I just cannot help laughing whenever I talk to him - so, other students think we are crazy coz we always laugh. :):)

Don`t ben silly. The only reform that PiS is able to implement in the judiciary system is to remove all previous judges, including the new ones from the last 30 years and replace them with the ones loyal to PiS. They need their own judges for such cases like the above mentioned with PiS guys involved.

that some dude done the same if not worse (i.e. persons died) and was send home

As for the alleged accident after which the guilty driver was let off the hook, I don`t believe you coz you have a long history of lies and manipulations. You have to provide sources, darling.

Polonia / Poland vs Italy vs Spain for an expat? [19]

You are a true gentleman, indeed. This is the British culture I expected from you in another thread. Thanks.
PS. However, it always amuses me when males boast about their conquests in front of other males.

Love / Had a big problem in Poland - a guy lied to me [33]

they meet some Nigerian wiseguy

No, Nigerian scam is sth else: known as Nigerian prince scam:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam

He said he wanted to transfer $20 million to the recipient's bank account. In exchange for transferring the funds out of Nigeria, the recipient would keep 30% of the total. To get the process started, the scammer asked for a few sheets of the company's letterhead, bank account numbers, and other personal information

In 1990s I actually laid my hands on a real scam letter from Nigeria sent to my business` address. I had no idea what it was about so I threw it away. I regret it today.

Polonia / Poland vs Italy vs Spain for an expat? [19]

Just like the rest of Poland.
In that case, with weather preferences involved, the problem is solved. Choose Spain or Italy. Good luck.
Class dismissed. hahaha

Why such stupid locations?

You sound like a reasonable young person. You certainly deserve more than some fusty cities inhabited by hoary mugols.

I think Polish Słupsk is the best option of all for you. Rober Biedroń, a very progressive, intelligent, open-minded politician, used to be its mayor for a few years. It is sth that can`t be ignored so easily.

mean the golden times, not the trolls.

The golden pre-Facebook times mean that when a troll showed up with a story like that, he/she instantly received a few dozen responses, most of which were bursting with indignation. And here? 21 replies??

can I assume that you don't subscribe to the new legal theory

No, you can`t, coz it would be an overinterpretation based on just a few of my silly replies in the even sillier thread. :):).

My trust in such stories definitely disappeared after I had/have read tens of them in the PF since my registration . :):) But I do still appreciate the trolls` effort, it reminds me of the old golden times here. :):):)
