Genealogy / Popular non-Poles of Polish descent [17]


Janick Gers certainly does!
His dad,Boleslaw, was in the Polish navy when war broke out and his ship sailed to the UK to fight the Germans.
He later joined the Royal Navy and settled in England.
He has extended family in Bydgoszcz.

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]


That is a valid point of view.
But you cannot judge this in the terms of how we think today.
Just like BLM.....
Both had valid arguments.
I am not sure who I would have sided with if I had been alive at the time.

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

Dmowkski and Pilsudski had different visions for a future Polish state but both were complete patriots.

Because it ran on a mixture of petrol and two stroke oil.

Like some mopeds used to.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


That is true.
But it does not mean that most Poles would find LGBT freedoms being relaxed acceptable.
Most Poles are just not interested because it is not important.Full stop.
But if you try to make LGBT lifestyles acceptable or introduced into mainstream education, you will have a problem...

@Joker

Back when I was a kid, my dad and uncle rewired our whole house and fitted central heating.
They knew what they were doing and did a good job.
But if you tried that today it would be illegal.
You need qualified sparks, qualified gas engineers and qualified boiler engineers..... all costing serious dosh.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


Oh, the west is really scared of those useless Russian misiles...... trembling in our boots...
Russia will never dare, because British, French and American missiles will kill Russia off for good.
You Serbs really need to stand up as men and stop licking Russian ar$es....pathetic really....

Yeah, especially Slowaks.I can even understand some of their language, I find Czech more difficult.
But Slowaks can adjust to Polish really quickly.

True, they only differ in culrure and outlook...... and of course in language.....

News / Britain - problem for Poland and Poles? [117]

Your post is insulting to Poles and shows that you are probably a russian troll or bot that needs to be ignored.
FO troll.

News / Britain - problem for Poland and Poles? [117]



Your two comments above show that you have not mastered English to a decent level and suggest that either you have not been in the UK for very long or have never been there.


And your above post shows not only that you have absolutely no understanding of British society but that you are probably a troll.

The attacks on Poles by Brits are as infrequent as attacks by Poles on Brits in Poland, given the difference in population and numbers of immigrants.

As the son of two Poles, born in England I can honestly say that I have NEVER experienced ANY racism, hostility and certainly no violence against me.

With a name like Sylvio are you even Polish?

You are a liar and a troll

USA, Canada / Can Americans Travel To Poland After JUN 16, 2020? [13]

Right now I would not be planning any foreign holdays at all.
2020 is over...... and maybe 2021 too..... anyone going abroad on holiday now,is nuts....

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


Yes, but you really need to understand that in the great scheme of things Serbia really does not matter....totally insignificant....
You really need to wake up to global reality instead of dreaming of your "Greater Serbia".....it ain't never gonna happen...

@johnny reb
@jon357
I totally get where both of you are coming from.
Jim is right, parents need to be more responsible.
Jon is right, if parents are not responsible then what is the point in prosecuting everyone?
Because then everyone, including the kids, suffer.
The answer lies in catching this stuff early, education and the threat of penalties on parents if they don't respect their responsibilities.
I agree with Jim, if adults are not capable or interested in raising their kids properly, then they should not have them.

Study / School meals in Poland [145]


Exactly.


Also true.


Because it often is.... as Maf said, Chicken breast may be healthy, but it is boring, tasteless and dull, unless
you add plenty of herbs and spices, but even then, other cuts with those same herbs and spices taste better.


Couldn't agree more.


Sorry, but that is not appealing to me at all....


Agreed 100% but that may be difficult in Poland.


This is true and something we do all tbe time.


The best comment in this thread Maf!

Study / School meals in Poland [145]


Yes, completely moronic because tbe kids will not eat it.


Atch said Veggie.... so no fish allowed...
In the UK you may be able to get away with a veggie day by making it a spicey indian dish, but that won't work in Poland..

And anyway, spicey deep fried Indian food may be very nice but it is less healthy than a "Full English".

Study / School meals in Poland [145]


And this is the crux of the problem.
And as Kaprys and others have said, the "western" idea of "snacking" is a huge problem too.
It is better for the kids to have filling and fullfilling meals.
Atch's moronic idea of a "Vegetarian Day", would result in kids not eating that mush.... so they would either starve or eat junk....

That menu looks pretty good to me.
Certainly better than the stuff we were fed when I was at school!

History / Where did Poles spend summer vacations in the PRL era? [63]


Most Poles have in the past and still do, take most of their holidays in Poland.
Either by the sea, by lakes, by rivers, by forests or in the mountains.
In recent years some, mainly young Poles have gone abroad.

Interesting post.
As a British born person with Polish parents I do see where you are coming from.
But I do think that you denigrate Poles somewhat.
I know many intelligent Poles with a sense of humour that are capable of charming the ar$e off many English women....
