Poland are in the quarter-finals - that's what's happened. 3 more wins and they are champions:) If Denmark and Greece could win it, so can Poland.

England can't - because they are useless:)

I was saying that your criticism of PF is a tad unfair because a lot of sympathy was felt for Luke, and the response shows that this can be a worthwhile online community on occasion:)

So read about the thread at the top of this page, about young Lukey, and stop being so negative yourself?

Real Estate / Renting flat/apartment with dog Gdansk? [24]


Well you see, short term summer rents are a tough one. What date in July are you coming? I am going out now, but you can PM me and I will reply later, as I can ask around all my contacts. You should widen your possibilities though, to a 30 kilometre radius, on the line of the suburban railway.

Real Estate / Renting flat/apartment with dog Gdansk? [24]


Ha!

That's a short term SUMMER rent, and that will cost you big, big money in Gdansk in summer. My advice is to rent in Tczew, or away from the coast. Believe me, you DO NOT want to try renting in Gdansk in summer, unless money is no problem, that is.

OR: Try some websites where students are away, and their flatmates are looking for someone to take their place for summer. Younger people here will point you to those sites:)

Thanks for the very long post MODS. This post was not written by a mod.

I will try my best to behave better in future. It as, as you say, because I am deeply unhappy.
It's raining cats and dogs here in Gdynia, and there is no beer in the fridge.

As for your comments about there being no help here - the poster aka Delph would often help with solid advice, but he's on holiday. And you have come to live in Poland, right? Welcome to the world of bureaucracy and government intrigue.

If you ask the right questions, they will be answered. And you can always ask for help at the top right of the main screen. Sadly, we all work for a living, and don't necessarily have all the answers at our fingertips.

If anybody here asks a genuine question or has a plea for help, the jolly PF community does come to their rescue. Eventually. It sometimes takes some time for Parker and Lady Penelope to arrive, but don't worry - "If you want trouble, you've come to the right place"

Sorry, just kidding, Carl Perkins said that.

PS sorry , saw that you've lived here for years... So you haven't got used to the guttersniping yet? Gosh:)

An interesting way of looking at it. I hadn't thought of that. But, a team could also qualify with three bore 0--0 draws:((

Absolutely. Even England might qualify under the race to the bottom rules of this ridiculous 24 team tournament.
PS: Poland did well. Northern Ireland are no patsy.

Well - shall we take person A. He needs a new laptop. Person B has a VAT registered company, and doesn't need a new laptop,. Person A buys it from B and saves 22 percent. The government still gets in on the deal, so that's how it goes, and why person B is never checked to see if he is possession of said laptop:)

All this is nothing to do with the price of fish (the real world)

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]


Pol - I take a great interest in Polish politics. Until the restaurant tapes et al the biggest Tusk scandal in 8 years was when he promised uninsured people living in beautiful houses by the then flooded Wisla that they would get help from the taxpayer in the form of a 10,000 zl handout.

I would quite like to live in a nice house with a river view myself, but wouldn't expect a handout if I was too stupid to insure..

Apart from that populist nonsense, I never,ever heard anything of supposed Tusk shenanighans. In fact, from month to month we never heard anything of note. The government was busy governing, leaving the rest of us to get on with what we were doing.

On the other hand, malpractice follows PIS around like a rabid dog.

Contributing. And I don't like socialism. There's only one sure-fire way to obtain money and that is to work for it.

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]

But Smurf it is not a good thing. Remove any requirement for a family and 2 kids under 21 to pay any tax under a sensible threshold, say 25,000 zl a year, as Blair did (with adjustment for different GDP) - and there you have it.

Instead, you can earn peanuts here and still pay taxes, as Adrian, if he were still here, would gleefully remind me. And with this 500 + you still have the inequality, and the percentage who are drunks, who will steal from their children. Just terrible.

I lived in a Katowice version of Dougpol Towers when I first came here. A few years ago, when it was worth 250 thousand zl, the old PIS mob had a similar scheme.

My physiotherapist wasn't very well paid, poor chap, and had 2 young daughters. His wife also was a physio.

The government awarded them a flat - identical in every shape and form, and of course size, to mine.

The price? 7,500 zl.

So don't achieve too much and PIS might just reward you.
It's called socialism folks - and although Blair 1997 was a Godsend to the UK, Poland can't afford handouts. Study, get qualified, and there will be plenty for everyone in the future market economy of Poland - but not with populist hand-out schemes, that are not properly budgeted, ruling the roost.

If the government really want to act to solve the housing situation, the first thing to do would be to dismantle the old Housing Committees, the spoldzielnie, but they will never do that because they are jobs for the boys, for life:(


A 2000 zl rise? Derisory. They should get more than that - IF they are performing, but some seem hell bent on self-promotion

Travel / Best place to exchange money in Poland? [98]


I don't understand that opinion. Kantors generally give better rates for the non business user - otherwise why would they exist? I think it works out at a saving of 1.5%?

Travel / Best place to exchange money in Poland? [98]


Depends on the amount. Nothing beats internet rates. Otherwise every town has its "kantor-zone" where you caan negotiate to a minimal degree.

Travel / Hiking around Zakopane/ Tatra mountains [22]

Merged: The long proposed tunnel through the Tatra from Zakopane to Poprad

Will some of us live to see this? The Slowaks, who have tunnels everywhere (poor in GDP as they were in the past) OK'd this a while back, but the Poles couldn't or wouldn't fund it.

I would have thought it is a must for the development of the region, and the environment in my old favourite climbing ground of Zdiar and the Eastern Tatra is being damaged by heavy goods traffic.

If those Swiss can build this epic, surely a joint venture can pull off the short tunneling required between these two towns?

Well, thank God we are somewhat isolated from the madness here in Tri-City. That's the illusion I have anyway and long may it continue.

Don't be stupid Polonius any more than you have to be. I suggest that you look up the word "extremist" n the dictionary. We all know that Austria would have faced sanctions if that fascist had won, and carried out his racist threats.

Maybe you should relocate to Hungary and cuddle up to your racist buddy-boy Urban? In the meantime normal service is resumed, and soon will be in Poland as well.

Don't you think you're being a bit sensitive? You are well old enough to remember the mess that the twins made of Poland the least time - and that's not clownish policies I would like to know what is:)

Oh , but wait - you don't live here and don't have to suffer PIS policies do you?
