Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

That appears to be what you are doing now though.

Oh, heavens no, I didn't mean to make you feel so guilty.
I was merely asking if my idiom fell into the same category as yours. ;-)
Here is another idiom for you.
'Let's not blow it out of proportion'.

Give me your truth why 1 billion people are anti-semites.

If anyone is left invested in the stock market I would suggest you take your losses and get out now.

Love / What do you think of Polish girls? [40]

I am disappointed how low is level of this conversation...

What do you expect when the questions was:

Can anyone advise me what to look out for in a polish man if you are a relatively successful female?

Compared to what kind of success ?
It is obviously a trolling question as it is saying what a success she is and how Polish men are inferior to her success.
Being successful doesn't mean she is successful as potential wife that insists she sit between her husband and mother in church.
Success can be measured in many ways.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]

Now see I thought it was fat old British man of German decent that likes to pretend to be first generation Polish. lol

What is it with Polish people that when they become vindictive that their main weapon is to try and shame and embarrass the person on their sht list.

That is definitely a Polish character trait as you have seen used on this forum (especially by the women) over and over again by Polish members or members with Polish ancestry.

Love / What do you think of Polish girls? [40]

What do consider to be "relatively successful" female ?
Or it could be what the Polish guy should be looking out for in a relatively successful female.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Here is a tid bit for the OP.

Polish Catholic midwife Stanisawa Leszczyñska delivered 3,000 babies at the Auschwitz Concentration camp during the Holocaust in occupied Poland.
One can only wonder how many of them survived.

History / Why is Vatican traditionally on German and not on Polish side? [65]

Why is Vatican traditionally on German and not on Polish side? i mean, when it comes to strategic interests

Have you seen the latest Crow ?
ROME-The Vatican on Monday forbade blessings of same-sex relationships, contradicting calls for the practice by progressive bishops in Germany and elsewhere, and setting a limit to the conciliatory approach to gay people that has marked Pope Francis' pontificate.

The Vatican's doctrinal office, in a document personally approved by Pope Francis, said it wasn't permissible for clergy to pronounce blessings on any relationship outside of marriage between a man and a woman.

Food / Request for cake or pastry recipe for an elderly Polish lady [20]

My favorite was a honey cake with a lemon topping sprinkled with powdered sugar that my Babcia use to make me in the old days.

Our family has looked high and low for her cookbook to no avail.
(I think one of the family members has it and doesn't want to give it up.)

Life / What's the story with Nergal? (Singer from Behemoth) [40]

I'm sure he was popular when he ripped up a bible,

Nergal is candid in his commentary. I like the fact he is an independent thinker and isn't afraid to state it as he sees it.

I thought this scum was suppose to die ten years ago..

Musician Adam Darski - best known by his stage name "Nergal" as lead singer of Polish extreme metal band Behemoth - has been convicted for offending religious feelings by a court in Warsaw.

It ordered him to pay a fine of 15,000 złoty (€3,340) and court costs of almost 3,500 zloty.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

Sorry, I had just read an article about the Penrhos Polish Home for the last of the WW2 Vets and how it's closing this month.

Knowing your riddle was about soldiers I had a flash that is what you were talking about.
I will pay better attention next time to what has already been posted.
Next riddle please.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

the car's range will be much greater than electric.

Only about 50 miles per tank.

batteries just don't do it.

And let me tell you what you are trying to say.
Batteries are heavier than the blue gas which makes the vehicle lighter to get the better mileage.

They invested a lot in the early technology of electric cars

Milow is referring to the new blue gas technology.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

I don't like the concept and the price.

So your suggestion would be a what for power, price, size and quietness ?

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

It's actually fun to combine power, size, and quietness. The ultimate car...

That will be the new Tesla Roadster which will be the fastest production car ever made.
It will do 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds, and the quarter mile in 8.9 seconds, faster than exotic supercars such as the Bugatti Veyron, Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren 720s.

I like my big V-8 4x4 pick-up truck that has the power to pull a tractor on a trailer, plow snow right up over the hood without spinning a wheel, go thru deep mud, has off road capabilities that no car has and is loud and obnoxious.

That baby takes me where ever I need to go, on or off road.

Love / Incels in Poland [299]

Ever heard of a prenuptial agreement?

They are meaningless in today's courts.
Even the judge grins when he sees one.

"Now I got you in my trap"...

That is why the trap is covered with fur to hide the hook.
