PF - The Omnibus Edition

Not at all... just been out of town.... just going through threads from the past few days.

Nice work, by the way M :))

Hi M,

Good work on the OE :) nice to see you've missed the regulars, nothing to do with changing times on PF, just haven't been around for a while.

Happy to be back

T

P.S. BIG hug :)

I had to fill in the empty space. Didn't check for spelling mistakes and such.


well, it felt like being a fish out of water.

Everything is gonna be OK now:)

good edition miranda...and nice " on the spot " reporting ;)

Some people just need to feel missed .Tornado and London Chick out of town ?Hmmmm... Can I start a rumor on this one?

The Omnibus Thread is a rumour free zone

The Omnibus Thread is a rumor free zone

(Bi lingual me)

Ok I can agree with that . I can start a rumour thread if I wish that sort of thing.

;(
since when?

Miranda you are one factual person. How are you today?

Am I ? I like to speculate, it is more interesting;).


Great? thank you.

Speculate in the Us stock market now and you will be rich later . Good to hear you are great. What are you currently studying?

About 2pm GMT yesterday. Or so the rumour has it...

Hello again!!!!!!

I have decided to write another edition, since Szarlotka seem to have abandoned his post as a writer in chief completely. I think he did that for the pure purpose of being mentioned in an edition again and again.. I feel for him because every time I took a picture, I ended up not being included. He is busy with being stuck on local trains, loosing golf games and trying to vacuum his house, but I doubt very much that he has gotten anywhere with the latter. He simply went wild as of late and nobody can convince him to write, or do anything if this is what he doesn’t want to. It is a high time Szarlotka drew some boundaries in order to have a life.

Back off people. Everyone deserves a break.

To drink or no to drink
We all know that some substances are better for us than others. Milk seem to have no lethal effect on us, unlike the beer which brought Uncle Bob to a stand still and caused him to reflect upon his life’ s journey into other dimensions. He cannot travel far anymore and it seems that decaf is a way to go from now on.

We are just hoping that he will not take up yoga or even worse, meditation, in order to travel the planes of the unknown.
Our long time member Outinayard has traveled the distances on cow’s milk so far, yet he wonders if trying something out of ordinary will finally make him see the Goddes he has been longing for.

Cows are in again
I personally always liked cows because they remind me of fresh milk from my grandfather’s farm and bring good memories fom my childhood.
Most people know our Spanish cow for his funky avatar, his elusive nature and his love for posting pics on threads in order to annoy our readers and keep them on their toes. He showed some human characteristics lately and asked us in his cow(ardly) confusion what he should do for his wife’s birthday in order not to get divorced soon. We are sure he will come up with something more than just a silly pic found on the internet, or worse, send his wife a e-card to her e-mail account.

Daisy got fed up with comparison of women and rightly so. She cherished us with an interesting post about the cow’s competition in Ireland. My condolences goes to all the Irish birds during that week, since those Irish hunks have their eyes on a big ones, not to mention the wet and fleshy nostrils and the smell of hmmmm….milk.

The history repeats itself
For those who are not familiar with the Trojan Horse I suggest you look up Virgil’s epic poem. We have our own version of the event apparently repeating itself in the contemporary history of modern Europe. Russia has taken a lot of beating lately but this time around Borrka was so bored at home that the decided to bring the old tale back and give it a new spin.

What is new?
A huge number of post have been removed on PF and it would seem that there would be more people to post due to more space.

The Translation section is no longer active and we are happy to some extend, since some of the translation request drove some people up the wall or even higher (in my case).Michal2 still thinks that he can translate and despite many people telling him that he should give the whole affair up and perhaps take up some other activity, he is still around yanking the chain of those who are not familiar with his dedication to create a new version of Polish language. Why not? After all language is not immune to changes and is alive. How alive is Polish language is what Micha2 knows best.

Competition is still on
We already had Polish women being compared to other women, Polish men to other men and after a long discussions we were not able to come to a consensus. If the Polish woman does not fancy a man , we always get a report of how/what/where/how much/ how little they did or didn’t do. Polish men are still in a good standing in comparison to other men on PF, which doesn’t mean that the PF reflects the reality of dating on a whole. Keep that in mind and if you are lonely, just got out of a bad relationship or you simply run into a Polish woman/man, think twice before you make any decision to dump her/him, or go out with her/him. One never knows. Use you brain and try to think before the pheromones kick in and you end up being lost and become a frequent and whiny poster on PF.

Warriors
Mr Boat from Lodz asked us if there were any PF warriors. Well, we all know that there are many in different shapes/ sizes and colours, but some are more visible than others. Some regular posters took the liberty to name themselves and to tell you the truth, I still don’t understand what a Warrior is. May it be positive or negative, some people simply lined up to be one because, lets face it, any attention is better than none. Andy Warhol was taking about the 5 minute(or was it 15?) fame that everybody is secretly wishing for. The truth is that on PF some people get more than 5 minutes, even if they were not trying so hard. For those who are trying too hard, here is an advice: let it go. Some people are just not warriors by nature and the nurture is not going to help you here.

Men in Cork are sweet
Apparently. Some people don’t agree but the truth is that men and women are the same in most of the countries and for people who are not able to grasp the simple truth and keep traveling around to globe in a search of finding out the eternal one, I have one advice. Stay at home and save your money or donate it to charity. There is also a school fund I am going to set up, so feel free to loose some cash. I will send you a “Thank you “ card and a photo from my graduation.

Polish flour
It appears that Polish flour is presenting a problem and confuses some foreign pastry chefs that moved to Poland and almost had to abandon their profession all together. Krzysztof came to the rescue and Darius is still trying to cover up the fact that when it comes to baking he would rather talk about cats instead.

Avatars
Some people pay a lot of attention to their avatars, that is of course if they have them. Some avatars have been with us for a long time, some come and go and if we were not familiar with that particular poster’s topics or vocabulary, we would think that there is a new member on the board. Frenchy boy cannot get over the fact that in spite the fact that there is a six pack on his (whether that belongs to him is another story), women on PF come across to him as cold. The lighting reminds us of a corpse we watch every Tuesday on CSI or Cold Case. For more detail go to: how to take a good a good body shot using natural lighting

Crow appears to show up as Mel and I don’t really blame him. All his Slavic discussion have left us tired and getting a new image seems to be a good move on his part, even if he looks like a Celt.

More poll(e)s on PF.
Polling seem to be in for the last couple of weeks and Filios1 added a new one. This time nobody has volunteered and some posters dread to be mentioned in this thread, so they may hide forever. Yeeey!!!!!! BTW, some of the voting techniques on PF remind me of the presently ongoing US president election, where the most important thing lately seem to have so little to do with the polices but more with ‘designer” eyeglasses or the number of pregnant children.

Polish Euro Coin
Well, after reading the thread I am glad that some of the PF members are working in field, which has little to do with graphic design. What is going to be on it is still a mystery and if anybody is planning to enter the competition, please show us the final version, since we all know that a fair critique of PF members is much better and constructive and has taken many people to higher places in the past.

American Cowboys in Poland
Dtaylor, out beloved Krakow resident is loosing his Scottish patience with the Polish Internet providers, who hooked him up, took the money and forgot to tell him the speed of loading up Youtube is going be slower than the traffic outside his window. We advice him to open it and enjoy the view, since he would get much better picture than the one on his computer. Or maybe he can tell his roommates not to remove “this” plant after all, so he can relax and have a beer on the roof, and get some socializing going, instead of spending all his time on the internet.

New PF resident in Krakow
We are glad to hear that after a careful preparation and a lot of planning and scouting the area of Krakow, Tele has finally made it there. We are looking forward to some more interesting stories being reported, after she settles in.

PS.
That is all I can squeeze out of my exhausted brain this early and sunny afternoon in Toronto. Until next time people.

Have a nice weekend and drink yourself silly if you have to, take your girlfriend/boyfriend to dinner, file those taxes your wife has been nagging you about, take those kids to see the movies. Or simply enjoy the time off from PF, so you come back on Monday cheery and refreshed, and ready for another challenge.

Miranda

What does a guy have to do to get a mention in the Omnibus???
I'm prostituting myself here daily...and for what???

*throws helmet on PF floor*

...but nice version anyway Mir! :)

that would be good for next edition LOL

Good post Miranda, but one thing:


It's alive and well and has never been inactive. :)

I clicked on it a couple of days ago and it was inactive. Can you explain that?

Possibly Admin was working on something at the time. It's alive and kicking though. :)

sorry for the mistake. I assumed wrong then. I noticed that the number of translation requests has decreased lately and the logical thing was to think that it became inactive.

Exactly. I posted two polls...both got removed. How brutal can it get?... How brutal could it be!!!

Splendid round up of the week Miranda, careful, you'll be giving that lazy git Szarlotka excuses not to do anymore.


Not as brutal as I'm going to get if you don't quit whingeing

Miranda out standing Edition and I leave the forum for the weekend on a good note See you Monday I am going to The Chataqua of the arts festival Madison Indiana on the Ohio river A charming town with one of the best art gatherings in the US all weekend. I need some paintings for my new bedroom addition. Hmm A polish Painting thread is in order

Look make no mistake, this is a coup d'etat. I've been cast aside like last season's Armani dress. If she wasn't so cute I'd be upset.

All hail the Miranda. Great job M

Love to see the picture of Szar in an old Armani dress...

More excuses, you don't get out of writing the next one that easily.

Men in Cork are sweet

but women in Gingham have more bite but a gooey centre. :)

or a "Putsch";), which is an overstatement LOL


yes!!!!!

Bereft of inspiration I gaze out upon the trees
Blindly seeking witty words to please
Deadlines have passed unnoticed and unseen
But still no words have been written on my screen

To write the usual tosh that has been my trait
Is no longer possible, for now my fate
Lies in producing incisive prose that from afar
Is better now that Vincent and Miranda have raised the bar

To bring things home that I’m in a mess
Read on above as Shawn-H thinks that I’m in a dress
And just when you things are at an all time low, that’s it
Daisy has pronounced me as a lazy git

It’s not for lack of effort on my part
That I have been unable to make a start
I’ve read the whole of PF from front to back
And even then I face the sack

It’s lack of content herein that is the shame,
It can’t be me, I’m not to blame
There are only so many times I can summarise
Frenchboy’s ego and noimmis outright lies

Where is the new exciting, structured and intelligent debate
That will allow me rein to freely elucidate
Where are the tales of travel, good deeds and the perverse
That would let me be myself and not resort to verse

Gone like so many formless things
Fragile moths on gossamer wings
An empty vista full of cant and bile
Is no place for Szarlotka’s guile

Wait a minute I see a glimmer of hope and joy
Buried deep in today’s posts there are gems, oh boy
Helena’s travel notes, the next Bill Bryson?
Not so for Wroclaw Boy, more Mike Tyson

And best of all, I can scarce believe it
Wroclaws’ back and fighting fit
Penning verse in the Dubious style
Go admit it, you all had to smile

Hang on a moment, why am writing in this way
Knowing that he will be sure to have his say
The master will critique this pupil and then
Cover his screen with many strokes of his red pen

So now it’s time I took my leave of you without delay
I have to get home in time to see Liverpool play
Before I go I wish you health and happiness
And failing that just have a Guinness.

Cheers

Szarlotka, you claim to be bereft of inspiration
Yet bring to us another fine creation
For this we show our warm appreciation

Excellent stuff Mr Sz. A golden edition and masterpiece.

My best wishes and good luck to the pool tonight
Just score a couple and keep it tight
two nil would keep my predictions right
So don’t have me thinking what a load of ….scousers :)
