So was I, didn't think She would kill me but really didn't want to see or hear one. I'm still not that comfortable with the idea of them even if I'm pretty sure they don't exist.
In the north we have soda farls and potato bread which is a must with any fried breakfast. Our soda is different to the soda bread in the Republic (which we also have but call it bread :))which always throws nordies off when we ask for it in shops
I WAS terrified of the Banshee though

Very true
Nail on head.
Those people chose to attack the Gardai, the fire brigade and health workers then burn public transport and steal sports gear. It was not exactly a "race riot".
We have no large migrant groups causing mayhem. There simply isn't a history of it.
Very true
What we do have, is a MAJOR problem with scumbags in the inner city of Dublin.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]
What could possibly go wrong when people are elected on the basis of who they would want to have a pint with. I can't see anyone wanting to go on the lash with Kaczyński, from reading these posts it seems that PiS attract a load of private drinkers.
I am currently involved in industrial action and a rather nice Polish woman who admits that her family are all PiS supporters is strike breaking. She believes that the powers that be will look after her best interests...deluded.
By the way, America is actually arriving at this point as well

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]
Thats great, I started mine in a greenhouse but soon had to move the greenhouse as the fig had quickly outgrown it. It is about 10years old now and gives a lot of fruit on the new growth. Despite the wasps getting a lot of the fruit I still get enough for my needs plus I propagate it making nice presents.

Do you know the variety of fig you are growing. In Ireland, as far as I know, brown turkey is the only one that produces fruit that ripens.

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [222]
@Kashub1410
I didnt for a second suggest any of that, I simply pointed out reality. The EU is key to Poland building its economy and as I said above, with rights/desires comes responsibility. Poland has its own EU representatives both elected and appointed civil servants and its their job to network and then build alliances to get the result Poland wants.
In the past Ireland tried the pure sovereignty approach with "comely maidens dancing at the crossroads" etc and it was a disaster. PiS seem to want to re-enact this disaster in Poland.
I dont like the modern world with its mobile phones and Internet (apart from the bits I use) food deliveries and a list of other things several pages long but that's the way the world has gone. Poland will just have to get used to modern life.

If you dont like the club you are perfectly free to campaign to have the good people of Poland follow Britains lead and vote to leave. Perhaps Global Poland will have more luck than Global Britain.
Oh, and good luck paying for this huge military outside the EU.
