News / Chairman Kaczyński said........ part two [28]

People and apes, rejoice!!! We have a new episode in our popular They stole series.....

"Today, at approximately 2:10 p.m., police officers from the KSP Road Traffic Department on duty in the area of ​​Aleja Róż were approached by a man who asked them to intervene in relation to the driver of a Skoda parked at the height of property no . 2. According to the man, the front side windows of the said vehicle had been covered with tinting foil in violation of the regulations."

"The police measured the light transmittance using the ELHOS Glas Meter EGM-1 device, which showed 10% light transmittance in the left front window and 35% in the right front window. The regulation states, however, that light transmittance must be at the level of 70%. In connection with the above, the police were forced to retain the driver's registration certificate, banned him from driving and fined the man PLN 100, "

To retrieve the car papers, the owner has to visit a vehicle diagnostic station with proper windows and undergo an examination.

It is worth mentioning that:
Calypso ice cream has been made since 1959 by the same company Lodmor located in Gdańsk. AmaSSSSSSSSing!

Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk also comes from Gdańsk. Wow!

Local inhabitants were lucky to have a constant access to Calypso.

Yes, darling, you should ponder deeply on what Atch told you. One day Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk might want to teach you a lesson and his lawyers will find you and file a defamation suit. In America. How much will you have to pay in damages if convicted??? Do you possess those millions already in your account or you will have to sell the house with this infamous basement and all other property of yours..... :):):) hahahaha

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

Trump mentioned Hungarian Prime Minister during the debate with Kamala Harris:"One of the most respected people. Called a strong man. He is a tough person. A wise prime minister of Hungary."

God bless America, if the candidate for president of the United States relies on Viktor Orban who has introduced soft dictatorship in Hungary.
That is why decent Poles/Polesses support Kamala.

Love / Polish women and fertility [41]


Strange but I have to disagree. The latest peak of births in Poland was in 1980s, during martial law, which you could hardly call times of stability - shortages of basic products, queues, regime`s brutality. Do you remember that nearly 1 million people emigrated from that stable paradise in 1980s??
The previous peak took place right after WW2 which also weren`t such peaceful times.

The answer is different - there were more births in communist times coz the society was patriarchal - hugely oriented on satisfying males` needs and disregarding women`s. Women were dominated and often had no choice but to bear a few kids.


Exactly!

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [103]

Wow, amasing controversy.
White-tailed Eagle, or Birkut
The white-tailed eagle is our largest bird of prey and one of the largest birds in Poland. It does not belong to the same genus as eagles and differs from them in many ways. For example, it is largely fish-eating. It owes its name to the white feathers on its tail. Many believe that it is therefore our heraldic bird, but there are doubts about this.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]


Today, when I went out to the garden, I had a strange encounter with two birds - a pidgeon first and later a blackbird. They were staying on the ground and didn`t fly away when I approached, like 1 metre away. The pidgeon was sitting on the gate leading to the orchard while the blackbird was under a raspberry bush when I was picking fruit. They were totally fearless.
I was in deep shock.
Were they the souls of the previous owners of the farm for whom I regularly say prayers, even today, and they wanted to show me I do the right thing for them?

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [816]


Possible but not necessarily included in the meaning. A red count was a nobility member who cherished democratic socialist ideas, especially when he owned property which brought profit, e.g, a giant farm or factory etc. He treated people working there in a decent way, offering them a lot of benefits, trying to improve the living and working conditions etc. Contrary to non red counts who exploited their workers and ignored their misery.


Yes. And when is it used???

Food / Today's Polish Sunday dinner? [30]


I tend to believe you. I can still hear such stories from nowadays. In wintertime, modern peasants aka farmers are bored coz hardly any work needs to be done in the fields so they stay at home and drink heavily. I am sure it was the same in communist times.
In cities, though, people were able to find more diverse entertainment so they didn`t need to drink so often. Hence our delicate disagreement. :):):)

And that is why Lenka and Alien and me too, tend to disagree with you that alcohol was on every table to every meal 40 years ago. No, it wasn`t . Mainly at celebrations. I suppose 3 of us who disagree were raised in cities.
