Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [112]


That happens.

There were grumbles about Bridgerton because of rock music in a Regency costume drama and about one set in early. C19 Derbyshire with a racially mixed cast. And both are good. In the Derbyshire one, the best thing was that the very poor people spoke like council estate chavs of today; it really did work,

A historical drama, comedy whatever isn't a Crimewatch reconstruction. I'll look out for 1670.

Is it a film or a tv thing?

I didn't know there was a film. The book was fun.

I'll have a go in a while when I'm back.

Not Polish but I just watched "Julia" about Julia Child. Brilliant, amazing and every superlative.

And I'd watched both series before realising that the lead actor was Raquel from Coronation Street and Happy Valley. A sign of a good actor.

Yes. Usually 'systems' sold at stalls in shopping centres.

About vaping weed, who knows?

Off-Topic / How to get some smoke [16]


You can get it on prescription. Just go to one of the private clinics that exists for that service, pay 100zl or whatever it costs and say "ouch, my back aches".

I did see some fairly obvious street dealers in Warsaw a while ago however they are best avoided.

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]


Best just to call them pierogi in English. The word has come into the language like pizza, quiche or paella.

Calling them dumplings is a little bit "I am Agnes and this is Gregory".

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]


Yes handy things if you want to make pelmeni however I use mine mostly for standing hot things on.

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]


We have a pelmenitsa.

Easy to make but definitely a 'now and again' dish. I read once that people in the frozen east pile them up outside their hovel and chip blocks off the pile throughout the winter.

Not very Polish though.

A few shops that sell them and restaurants that serve them now call them pierogi Ukrainskie.

We're talking about a poster who has replaced his domestic boiler.


Exactly, and levels are high in PL due to domestic coal use. This causes respiratory problems among other issues.

Plus of course subsidies are available in PL for certain home improvements; the OP is talking about the process of claiming them.

Which is precisely what installing a pellet boiler is.


Here of course we're talking about small practical measures.

And Poland of course has huge pollution problems from
domestic coal and wood use.


Who mentioned petrochemicals? We're talking about domestic heating boilers.

So we've got to start sometime.

And if a home boiler runs in pellets rather than coal, that's no bad thing. It should certainly be encouraged.

It's a great shame but the coal lobby has held back renewables in PL.

Yes. A statesmanlike response and a very forthright one. This is what he gave.


A minor party (and BTW I've voted for them). They don't do much or say much.

K-K is indeed an odd choice. Defence Minster doesn't need to be a big name; it needs to be above all someone capable, honest, and respected by all branches of the armed forces.

If someone novichocked JK or Xiobro and then put them in a frozen Labour camp with a brutal regime before their sudden untimely deaths, you would doubtless expect international condemnation in the strongest terms.

Yes. Europe isn't the EU and the EU isn't Europe; there are far more possibilities and in any case the U.K. has significant economic and strategic differences to most other European countries.

About Ukraine, the support is certainly there and it is unconditional. Having our own oil supply does make that easier however what is important is that it is there and is unwavering l.
