History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

organised in Zielona Góra

There were their barracks there, luckily they moved out 30 years ago... today they would probably be happy to move in again

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [353]

never say "What did he say?" while watching TV.
I never studied the chemistry of a carrot. I just eat it.
I can't name any leg

.....I never think about what I say, I just say.... 😀

Do you drink Sekt?

Of course, sekt is very popular in Germany and cheap, costing from 3 Euros and up. I like, for example, Fürst von Metternich, it starts at €5.50.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

In the middle ages heavier people had been viewed as healthy and rich!

It's obvious, but they also had diseases of today's civilization, such as diabetes and coronary heart disease.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

Where did you read that ?
Tell us the rest of the story.

I didn't read it, I just made it up. Half a year before the end of the war, the Russians were still standing near Warsaw. If D-Day had been half a year earlier, the Americans would have met the Russians not at Torgau but near Warsaw. Perhaps they would even withdraw from part of Poland just to get an occupation zone in Germany or at least in Berlin. (a kind of East Berlin, surrounded by a wall). Then the fate of Poland might have turned out differently.

Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ?

If D-Day had occurred half a year earlier, perhaps the Allies would have occupied all of Germany and liberated at least part of Poland.

Ukraine is losing the war not for lack of intelligence or equipment

This is exactly how it is, apart from new drones, the equipment they have is 30-60 years old. This also applies to Western equipment. They don't get the latest equipment, only used ones.

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

I read that voters aged 16-21 in Germany chose AfD in 17%, CDU/CSU in 17%, but as many as 27% of them chose a small, insignificant party. Well, they also have to learn how to vote.

birthday with a zero in the number.....


probably not a zero birthday.

No, it wasn't a round birthday, and coming back to champagne, I drank Dom Perignon only once in my life, I think it was on my round birthday, and it was a gift for me which, of course, everyone drank quickly. Frustrated, I then bought another bottle myself, which I still keep in the wine cellar. There will be another opportunity. Thank you for the birthday wishes.

European elections are useless

No, they are not. The whole world envies them. Practically the entire continent can elect members of parliament from the age of 16.

Dom Perignon a couple of times

It's as if you wrote: I usually buy a Dacia or a Skoda and I only bought a Bentley a couple of times.

Was it your birthday Alien?

Yes, ma'am, we were supposed to go to the Chinese, but they didn't want to, so there was a small party at home.

He was elected to the European Parliament in Brussels, among others. Grzegorz Braun from Konfederacja. I wonder if they have dry powder fire extinguishers or anything else? 🤔

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]

you clearly rejoiced when the "democratic opposition" won the last Polish elections

That's how it was, it was justified then. This game (democracy) only works when all parties stick to the same rules. In the case of PiS, there were suspicions that they wanted to derail democracy.
