Travel / Hiking around Zakopane/ Tatra mountains [33]

Be careful when hiking in the Tatra Mountains

Fatal accidents happen regularly - about once a week. I have just read about a new one. In June!

There are difficult conditions for tourism in the Tatra Mountains. The second degree of avalanche danger applies. Snow cover varies in thickness and hardness. In places it is muddy, perishable, in others it is blown away or icy. Particular attention should be paid to blown snow near the ridge, in gullies and in snowfields. During the day, the temperature rises, causing the snow cover to melt.

Navigating high mountain trails in such conditions requires extensive experience in winter mountain tourism and appropriate equipment and skills. Mandatory equipment should include crampons, an ice ax, a helmet and the avalanche ABC, i.e. a detector, a probe and a shovel. It gets dark before 4 p.m., so you should plan your trip so that you return from the trail before dusk. A headlamp in a backpack may be necessary - reminds TPN.


Here is an exemplary photo showing a lethal fall of an unlucky climber.

Trust me, Poles will deeply regret

No, I don`t trust you coz you are a bad person who dreams of taking advantage of me. Ha!

Yaaawn. Your boring post is a call for bedtime. Thank you.

Brits will regret electing Kier Starmer in the UK's forthcoming election.

Tu Cię boli, chłopczyku! Boisz się wyniku u siebie więc oczerniasz Polskę. Wracaj do kanałów londyńskich, tam Twoje miejsce. .

Donald Tusk "should take Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz for a conversation
Indeed.

Not so easy. Such fragile topics weren`t included in the coalition contract the 3 parties had concocted before the national elections last year. Each party can vote in the Parliament according to their agendas.

Those leftists are really amassing! They blame Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk for things beyond his powers.

- Political responsibility for the fact that there are still no civil partnerships in Poland lies with Prime Minister Donald Tusk , because he is responsible for what the Polish government does - said Mirosława Makuchowska, director of the Campaign Against Homophobia, in "Fakty po Faktach".

She added that the bill was blocked by one of the coalition partners, PSL leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz . - I cannot imagine a situation in which Prime Minister Tusk comes to a meeting of the Council of Ministers and is not able to say that this is so important, this is such a priority, I have been promising it for 14 years, we have to do it. That doesn't happen, she noted.

In her opinion, Donald Tusk "should take Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz for a conversation and say: listen, this is something we must do immediately." - This is one thing he clearly cannot afford - she said.

Food / Polish mustards [134]

Alone. I am drinking it straight from the bottle, one gulp after another. I have already emptied half the bottle.
It is because my doctor strongly advised me to consume a lot of mustard.

Food / Polish mustards [134]

I can`t resist. On our weekly Saturday shopping spree I bought myself a bottle of American mustard by Kamis and am trying it now, one gulp after another. Very good. Sweet and mild, just right before going to bed.

Trzaskowski exposed himself

Sikorski and Trzaskowski aren`t the only candidates. If Trzaskowski is too leftist for you, you might consider voting for Morawiecki or a guy from Konfederacja. Why not??? ):):)

Sikorski is conservative enough

I just checked Sikorski`s stance on abortion. He supports free 12 week abortion.

The Civic Platform supports the right to abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy, which should be decided by the person who will live with the consequences of this decision - said MEP Radosław Sikorski (PO) on Radio Zet. According to him, the rules currently are worse than in Iran.

Polam, you`d better think of this Morawiecki choice, hahahaha

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

It going to be tough for most people.

The prophet of disaster, Iron, spent 30 years abroad as a pathetic emigrant. He came back 3 years ago, believing Poles and Polesses would welcome him with open arms and bread with salt. It didn`t happen, that is why he is so embittered today.

Why don`t you return to the place you came back from???

Exactly. And then you wake up. :):):) Never mind.

If there wasn`t Mr President Trzaskowski, I would gladly accept Sikorski or even Hołownia. But he is the best of all.

Is there a need to give a live interview in a foreign language?

Yes! Regularly! Amasing you are asking such strange questions.

Most politicians don't,

Now you think of average ones. While I meant the outstanding ones. Like Mr President Trzaskowski.
Check him out. I already showed this live interview in another thread.

I'm fluent in Polish

You mean in reception. While the production is not so fluent.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Thank you.
Americans suggested their Patriot battery deployed in the city of Rzeszów to protect American soldiers staying there could be transferred to Ukraine. Polish rulers and military are sceptical. Two or three publicly refused to let it go.

However, one retired general claims that we don`t really need this battery coz the possibility of using it in Poland is very low. He thinks it should be sent to Ukraine.

That's what

And in another thread we established he speaks English less fluently than Mr President Trzaskowski.

Other potential candidates:
Ex Prime Minister Morawiecki from PiS which means rightist.
Current Parliament Speaker Hołownia - mild conservative
Popular TV presenter Gawryluk leaning to rightists. A woman.

He'd

No. He is a gloomy wet blanket while Mr President Trzaskowski is a friendly chap with a great sense of humour which proves he is very intelligent. Whenever I see and hear Sikorski, I get depressive feelings.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]

What other perspectives are there about the belief of God existing (which I do)

The prospects are grim. Believers who advocate killing migrants are not taken too seriously. So, when you tell people there is Goddess and you believe in Her, they won`t believe you.
