News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]


The American daily adds that at the end of last week, the Polish prosecutor's office sent a letter to Germany in which it informed that the wanted man had left our country. In connection with this, it was supposed to ask for clarification as to whether German investigators were still interested in searching his apartment in Pruszków.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the Germans perceived the letter as "an additional insult to the insult already inflicted."

Yes, in Scholz Germany, it might. Scholz Germans have already declared they are going to reduce the Ukrainian aid fund. By half or more. Dupki dzwonce.

Yes, I have always wanted to say how impressed we are by your efforts but my forgetfulness is really a nuisance. You remind me of myself, I have also always been a maniacal devourer of everything concerning Poland`s history. I started in the second grade elementary school when I robbed my elder sister of her history book for grade 5. :):):)

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

Amasing facts are surfacing about German Polish clash over Nord Stream destruction.

German prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diving instructor, suspecting him of attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022. . The man was reportedly living in Pruszków recently. However, Polish prosecutors have reported that the wanted Volodymyr Z. already left the territory of our country.

Now, The Wall Street Journal reveals that the prosecutor's office did not execute the arrest warrant. First, it found an error in the German application (Germany denied its existence), and then informed that the Internal Security Agency would handle the case.

The ambiguous attitude of the investigators was supposed to have worried the German authorities, who decided to intervene in this matter in Poland "at the very top," The occasion for this was supposed to be Polish-German government consultations at the beginning of July. The WSJ source claims that during these talks the Germans asked their Polish colleagues to ensure the execution of the arrest warrant. The Poles allegedly refused.

Moreover, a senior Polish official is said to have told a German colleague in a private conversation that any suspect who may have played a role in the destruction of the oil pipelines deserved a medal, not arrest.

hahahahahaha Are those Scholz Germans such idiots, really???

That is why I make my own fruit wine - just fruit, spring water and sugar. And wine yeast, of course.
Now when I recall all kinds I have ever made, the best is black currant wine.

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


The chance that in a bout of dementia you shoot your wife thinking she is an intruder is higher than the chance of being actually in a dangerous situation.


Exactly. So when people don`t have guns, thieves will have nothing to steal.


Yes, known fact, the same with knives etc. However, killing a person with a gun is much easier than with a knife. that is why gun killings run in thousands in the US while knife stabbings come by tens in Europe.

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

Tragic news from Switzerland - a Polish immigrant who worked as a caretaker in an apartment block was shot dead by a Swiss resident who didn`t like being told off for his noisy behaviour at night.

Another sad news - 20% young males in Poland support free access to guns. Imbeciles! They don`t realise that many of them will die after being shot by crazies or simply furious attackers, like in Switzerland.

History / What do Poles owe to Romanians? [8]


Here is a nice article throwing some light on their adventures.

The first group escaped from the camp in a very simple way. They pulled a large barrel on wheels, normally used for transporting water, out of the shed, loaded their belongings into it and dragged it, shouting in Romanian:

- Apa! [i.e. water - author's note]

The guard, convinced that they were going for water, opened the gate and let the whole group out. Fifteen minutes later, a large group of soldiers marched out of the camp, carrying in their backpacks boards from a building that had been specially dismantled for this purpose. They were led by a colleague dressed in the uniform of a Romanian guard. And the guard let them out without any problems.

History / What do Poles owe to Romanians? [8]

Yes, that`s what I primarily had in mind while starting the thread. Thousands of the Polish army personnel crossed the Polish Romanian border when the situation became hopeless after two nasty allies, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, partitioned Poland.
Those escapees were officially interned by the Romanian authorities but later on gradually, one by one, they were allowed to leave their internment camps and go West or in some cases return to Poland. Romanians did it out of friendship or bribes.
Whenever I read a story of a famous soldier who fought in the Western Front, I regularly ran into this info: escaped from the camp in Romania and moved to France/Britain to carry on fighting.

We talked about fig trees several times. So, yes, since 2015, this year it has been the second time when they perished during winter with minus 20 temps for more than a week.
I cut down all the dead stems and now am going to grow them in one trunk version which will be easier to protect against frost.

Similarly, Western farmers complained in the same manner when Poland gained access to the EU. Today we are a major producer of good food for all Europe together with Western producers and everybody is happy. The times of trouble with Ukraine will also pass into oblivion one day. Be optimistically patient.

Exactly. It seems Polish farmers will forever complain about cheap produce from Ukraine and when Russia divides into 10 seperate states, other sources, too. Last year it was grain, 3 months ago - honey, now soft fruit.

Growers from eastern Poland are raising the alarm that raspberry prices at purchases have fallen again to levels that make harvesting them unprofitable. Fruit growers claim that we are dealing with market destabilization due to frozen food shipments coming to us from Ukraine. They are demanding intervention.

News / Dirty deeds of foreign guys in Poland [128]

This outrageous situation took place last Saturday in the centre of Warsaw. Around 5 a.m. a young woman was waiting for a taxi after finishing work to go home. At one point, a man approached her. "I immediately sensed danger, because the guy was very pushy, constantly trying to get my attention with various texts. I didn't react to his innuendos or provocations, constantly walking away in the opposite direction, because I didn't want to give any signals of interest. The situation started to get worse, because he started to get very close, constantly asking me to go with him," the injured party described the situation.

"On the recording I couldn't take it anymore and started screaming for him to get away from me, but he still wouldn't let go until he finally lifted me up on the pedestrian crossing. Then he let go of me and dragged me by the legs," she added

"As a result of the actions taken, after an hour and a half the man was identified and taken to the police station. After examination, it turned out that the 25-year-old, a Latvian citizen, was intoxicated and, in addition, was behaving irrationally and aggressively. After calling an ambulance to the scene, the paramedic determined that the person qualified for placement in a sobering-up station. After being placed in the station, due to his unstable behavior, he was transported by the medical rescue team to a psychiatric hospital, where he is currently under observation," the statement reads.

Food / Traditional Polish Foods [141]

Come on, relax, Everything goes well. You guessed again, that`s what counts. Raisins or sultanas, whatever. :):):)

As for the dish, nobody will guess, even native Poles or Polesses, so I will tell you. I used them to make my semi home cottage cheese pancakes. I can buy such pancakes with raisins only when I visit the big city from time to time - they are unavailable where we are living.

I was lazy and bought ready made wraps instead of making them like my wife always does for her pancakes.

The result? After frying they looked like the dog ate them and threw up, but they tasted delicious and I am going to repeat that procedure. But next time I am going to drain the raisins coz I pit that milk soaking into the cheese bowl, too. It made it sweeter but created problems while frying.
