Oh yeah the tariffs LOL it seems that TACO has delayed them again to 1st August

But this is definitely the last delay LOL - other countries are lined up waiting to kiss his ass and sign a deal

I don't know where I read it but I think renewables are getting close to 50 percent of Polish power market.

Don't know if that is in zloty or in watts.

Anyway I was surprised - certainly don't see why it is something America needs to compete with

On the voluntary contributions I did it arse about face - sent a few class 3 contributions and then thought I could sort the paperwork out later (that's generally how I manage my affairs !). Advisor told me that was a bad idea and to wait for a call. I certainly didn't send any proof that I was working - I have plenty of German docs but next to nothing from the US.

Golden Cow again complete confused about his stupid tariffs

The idiot thought he could sign loads of deals before his TACO ass deadline on July 9th. In fact out of the 90 he expected only 3 have agreed (and even that very preliminary)

So now he wants to move the deadline to August 1st. Good luck to this cretin finding someone at their desk in July who wants to waste time taking tariffs to some senile old buffer who changes his mind every day

When has someone ever thrown acid on kids in Poland in an unprovoked attack ?

What really is the chance of that happening on my way to Zabka ?

Do something fun - it's Sunday afternoon in July. Watch baseball with your grandkids then put some sausage on the grill

Yes I paid some extra years and am waiting for a call back (or rather I got an SMS saying they had called me when they hadn't)

my own situation quite complicated as some years working in the US and in Germany.

Lenka not sure of your point - it's a contributory system and not always fair, but as in Poland a major problem with the British public finances is that there are many millions of people who do not contribute or pay tax at all.

No idea really about the GBP and PLN but might be down because of worries about deficit in UK. But zloty also strong v dollar and Euro the last few weeks.

Last summer a guy was knocking seven bells out of his wife outside my gate, I heard their kid yelling and went out to split them up. The guy was much smaller than me so able to restrain him but it took 25 mins for the police to come, by which time they had all agreed to leave.

I have seen his wife several times since in Zabka or Biedronka and she always blanks me

Any evidence that rape and murder were lower in Commie times ? I can't find any numbers and wouldn't believe them if I could given that so many statistics were made up

Theft certainly was lower - nothing worth stealing and impossible to make a quick getaway without either a car or fuel.

It is not July 3rd - it's July 5th

I took Google shots from today asking for one month gains

I'm not doing it again because I can't be bothered - it's a lovely Saturday evening and even if you are right it won't change the outcome

If you want an independent adjudication maybe someone else can help you out

PolAm I will make your payment Monday

Obsessed with drugged up azzholes on a home invasion

Same question every day

So same answers

How do they get through the outer gate, into the klatka, up the stairs and into the apartment if they are drugged up ?

If there are two of them won't at least one think it's a crazy idea ?

Don't junkies normally work alone ?

Someone might cut my "phone line" during a "home invasion". ?

Is the engineering profession in Illinois aware of cordless telephones ?

Yes we want nukes - because illegal drunk crazy rapists do exist in Europe and are responsible for most of the home invasions this century. They way the cheap and ill fitting uniforms of the North Nigerian army

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Shut up about triggers, fire and all the rest of it.

It is boring and your arguments are dumb

Of course US "home invasions" turn violent - because of the presence of stupid guns.

Violent criminals will always have guns IN AMERICA.

Not in Poland - it is extremely tricky to get hold of a gun here unless you have links to serious organized crime. And those guys don't waste their time on "home invasions" in suburban apartment complexes

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

Despite the obvious deterrent power of firearms, Illinois has a burglary rate 3x that of Poland.

Yet we keep seeing the same demented questions about "home invasions"

All we are missing is a lame ass picture of his guns

I have a gate and a buzzer

What the hell are you talking about ?

Oh ? We moved on from so called "home invasions" with a knife and now we are talking about migrants

Ha ha yes though his first problem would be the one way system and then finding somewhere to park before he embarks on his bloody project - I'm sure he would knife someone in road rage long before he rang any buzzers

How would he get into the outer part of the complex, into the klatka and then in the often broken lift and then into my apartment?

Nobody else has a problem with the rules or the spirit of this friendly contest JR

Will post June results on Friday when I am back at my desk

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [743]

It might change tomorrow - both PolAm and Jon are close behind you.

The 30th June is in Europe a day when lots of buy and sell orders are activated - especially in Germany and France because of local tax issues

PolAm has so far the best individual stock CRCL which is 116% up but is let down by his oil picks

As for the rules - it was clear this is a year long contest and as I'm funding the prizes I'm judge and jury.
