USA, Canada / Polish wife for Chicago Pole - TV show [8]


I remember switching channels and seeing a clip of the UK version of the farmer wants a wife or love in the countryside. It featured a young girl in stilettos looking like she was going clubbing trying to negotiate the mud on a pig farm.

I didn't watch much more because it was so obviously a set up with totally mismatched people there for entertainment value. Maybe the Polish one will be a bit different but I think a lot of people go on these shows for their 5 minutes of fame. I can't say I'm a fan of these reality shows as I find them uninteresting.


I have already proved to you that men are equally capable of just the same with the video I posted on another thread. I don't know any women on this side of the pond that behave anything remotely like any of the women in your videos so it appears that the US has more than its fair share of nutters.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1024]


There is no 'tolerable' number. However, you need to give exact figures. After all, it's nothing less than you demand from PF members for your ridiculous questions.

It's a bowl for one of your pets then. I can't imagine your cats liking Surówka though, is it for the tortoise?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [791]


The only thing I can think of is that it has a sort of symbolic meaning? In the sense that there's always an empty plate for the stranger on Wigilia, this is a bowl for a family member who has passed?

You can reject it but it is obvious from what you have written that you are in the wrong and it will kill you to admit it :)


Then it must be to do with how it's served? In that bowl? I don't think the date is significant.

Surówka?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [791]


But yes :):)

You have written clearly in your own words that your wife made vegetarian croquettes :):)


Looks like carrot, cabbage and cucumber.

Here is what you actually said:


You're hair-splitting again :)


I would say either 2 different types of meat for Kotlet Schabowy, maybe traditional pork and chicken. or more likely one of the heaps is a vegetarian version for your kids.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1024]


Probably the same place as the answers to all my questions.

I've asked him a couple of times now how many kids dead from gunshot wounds are too many and he's never given me an answer. I'm suddenly 'invisible'. Yet he wants exact numbers for his black and white questions such as these:


I wonder why he won't answer such simple questions...........

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [791]


I did and you explained that your wife made a vegetarian version of croquettes for your vegetarian kids. But you said I was wrong when I suggested croquettes.

Just because they don't have meat in doesn't mean that they're no longer a croquette.

I don't know. Are the oval shape ones on the right some type of croquettes?

It's not fish then....

Kotlet Schabowy on the left? Maybe breaded fish pieces on the right?

Were they previously frozen? Looks like something in breadcrumbs.

Why would you want to take your phone to the toilet with you? You must have a serious PF addiction....

I guessed you would ask that next. It looks to be a small fish but it probably isn't....

Mine was too expensive to look after basically. Think models with rotary engines.

I had a love of sporty looking/classic cars without the budget to maintain them properly if I'm honest.

I just don't like modern looking cars, they have no soul.

I've had 2 MGB Roadsters, a frog-eyed Sprite, Vauxhall Tigra, the list goes on.

I don't like Peugeot, Renault or Mitsubishi.


I must admit they're nice looking cars.


Noooooo! I've tried to like the Mini Clubman but I just can't. It's ugly.


When I think of beautiful cars I think of the old MG TF 1500, Lotus Elan S4 DHC, Volvo P1800.

I'd collect them all if I could :)

The reserves were frozen. Poland takes butter very seriously!

I did an in-depth study :):)

I had to look carefully because the light shining on his head obscured him a little. He really does look like a little alien.


Lovely darling! :)

Food / Why Poles not like rice? [95]


To be honest there are lots of regional variations just as there is for ragu ( bolognese ) sauce. I put different things in paella depending on what's in the fridge. It's supposed to be made using 'bomba' rice though.

Food / Polish Salted Butter [68]


My source is stating that Poland is releasing reserves of Polish butter to counter the rising prices. Butter wars!!

I'll let Johnny answer that one as he has guessed the meaning :)


No. It means to not be nearly as good as the person or thing to which you're referring. But I'm sure you're well aware of the meaning :)

Life / Why women's rights are not respected here in Poland? [160]


I just like to point out from time to time the idiocy of his posts :)

It would be easy to match 'dumb male' posts for every one of his 'dumb women' ones but what's the point?

One thing's for sure. He doesn't respect women's rights whether in Poland or the US.

Just like this man! I'm sure you didn't miss it when I posted it earlier but acknowledging it wouldn't suit your narrative that only women are morons.



You really are so very predictable.
