News / Poland & Nuclear Weapons for Defense - Opinions [25]

I suppose there are already other strategic Polish targets on Russian lists. So, nothing new. A few more targets doesn`t matter. With Jesus King of Poland protection shield we can sneeze at those empty threats.


Yes, rightist President Duda is hurraoptimistically for while Mr Honourable Prime Holy Minister Donald Reverend Tusk is doubtful. Not against - just doubtful.

Food / Poles have a more loving attitude to food than here in the UK [169]

When Poles and Polesses celebrate their anniversaries of various type, it is customary to bring delicious food for workmates.

Here, I don`t remember the reason. Was it sb`s birthday or a colleague received the Teacher of the Year award??? Never mind, the food was amasing.

Pic 1 - cupcakes filled with thick mayo veg salad
Pic 2 - - Polish home made sausage, veg salad and some cakes too. And country bread, too!!! The colleague even remembered to get us seedless grapes. And the baby tomatoes were surprisingly sweet. All in all, a little feast for my taste buds.

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]


Yes, gołąbki, I completely forgot about them. In one of my textbooks the dish is translated as beef-stuffed cabbage parcels. :):):)


Nothing special. Just shredded fresh cabbage and some dried herbs and olive oil mixed with vinegar.


Actually , she doesn`t. There is always sth left for me. The problem is that it is never enough for me cozI can eat two really large bowls of veg salad within a quarter. I am known for that in my workplace- - my mates know that salads on the table during official occasions belong to me. Sometimes when they are served side veg dishes, I hurry to ask them if they are going to eat them - some people don`t. I am so voracious that I even devour the green stuff which decorates saucers with cold cuts, stuffed eggs, choices of cheese and similar.


Certainly not the other way round. :):):)

PS. BTW, that green plant in post 56 riddle is rukola aka arugula. A bit peppery taste mixed with nut flavour which I like.

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [341]

Russians should follow the Polish example how to reject authoritiarian regimes.
Here, a BBC coverage of 1 May 1983 anti communist riots in Poland. Look closely at the protesting crowd, there are also a lot of Polesses in it. And they were tear gassed and batoned just like males. Amasing!!!

Poles and Polesses fought hard for their freedom and we won against communists. We joined the EU and NATO. Later there was a silly mistake with rightist PiS government, but it was corrected last year and corrupt rightists were removed.

Poland is a free and thriving country again.
I am so happy I wanna cry of joy.

Life / Poles speaking English - examples [263]


The previous video of him is 10 months old. Recently he has spoken again and I must say I am even more impressed coz his English improved a bit and he also cut down on his emotions a little, so now he doesn`t scream hysterically all the time like before, just exclaims which is more acceptable for my reception.

He lashes at the EU`s leadership who are introducing the Green Deal against common sense. He foretells them a defeat in the coming elections.

Conservatives will make EUROPE GREAT AGAIN.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]


Stupid examples of countries which have been rich for centuries. While Poland only recently. Like Ireland. Get a grip coz you are provoking readers to develop strange opinions about you. Ha!!!

If Poland didn`t develop in the EU as it has, you would have never returned from your 30 year emigration. You would prefer to stay in the US.

Say prayers to the EU for enjoying the opportunity to live in such a safe rich country. Ha!
Repeat after me: Mutter Unser in Heaven, Hail be deine Name.......

News / Do we finally see that Russia doing something positive for Poland, by successfully resisting to EU ? [57]


Russian regime never spent this money on making life easier in Russia. Quite the contrary, they spent it to deepen the miserable conditions there.


OK. Do it at will. Go to Moscow and sing in the Red Square.
But leave Poles and Polesses out of it. Right now, Russians evoke quite abominable feelings in most decent Europeans.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

Poland achieved a great success in the EU. It was possible thanks to the pro European mentality of most Poles and Polesses who remained decent patriots at heart. Those other indecent people, homo sovieticuses raised by foreign or domestic occupants, weren`t enough to divert the country from the European path.

We should be happy to live in Poland which is part of Europe. Look at Belarus, Serbia, Ukraine. Let their fate be a memento for us.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

PiS rightists are officially ant EU which they blame for everything to cover their own incompetence and corruption.
However, before the EU Parliament elections in June, dozens of major PiS politicians are going in beseehcing pilgrimages to their lord, Chairman Kaczyński, to be put on the lists of candidates for potential MPs. They all love the EU when it is time to grab huge euro salaries.

What do you mean???


Yes, I am greedy. I need more and more money to satisfy my fancies - e.g, champagne, caviar, smoked eel,..... hahahaha


Complain you your rightist buddies who did it.


Yes, I say prayers for him every evening before going to sleep! Ha!!!

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]


Eaten in jams or marmalades. What do you know about the content of vit C in such processed foods?? It is very low after long heating. Quince has 15 mg when raw, after processing it falls to close to zero.

That is why I told you to stop trolling - we are talking about healthy, not fancy foods.


Yes, that`s the only word you can spell correctly in Polish!

Stop asking stupid questions? What is your IQ????

Instead, answer my riddle. Are you able to? What is your knowledge of animals apart that you eat some of them as food???

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]


Not in Poland coz its early varieties weren`t able to survive Polish winters for centuries. This thread bears the name POLISH healthy food. Get a grip at last and stop trolling about things which do not apply to Poland.

Food / Healthy polish food? [143]


You mean 1980s now. While I meant 1880s and earlier, even the Middle Ages times, when I mentioned sauerkraut as a cure for scurvy. See the difference??? :):):)

OK, let`s end this torture. :):): The activity which is performed on the guitar is playing it. The function of the guitar is playing music.

The full idiom meaning that sth is fully OK is the guitar plays/is playing!

Now, I wouldn`t be myself if I didn`t develop it into a subriddle! hahaha

How did the idiom come into being ????

Hint - it goes back to the second half of 20th century.


Hmmmmm......... Fenix said nothing about it and she holds the priority for such opinions as a decent Brit here.

History / Unforgettable quotes about Poland and Poles from Polish and world`s history and culture [99]

After some French army officers complained to Napoleon that the enemy position was impossible to capture, he replied:
Leave it to Poles. They don`t know the word impossible.

History / Unforgettable quotes about Poland and Poles from Polish and world`s history and culture [99]

"We have a saying: If I have to go into the jungle, it's best to have a Pole as my companion. You are faithful, you stick together until the end. The older generation of Englishmen will also testify to what great soldiers you are."

Norman Davies, historian, in an interview in 2006.

Yaawn and sigh at your "joke." Veritably lame. :):):) Stop obsessing about Mr Honourable Prime Holy Minister Donald Reverend Tusk so much. Get a treatment. hahahaha

You see?? I am strong enough to admit that I have no idea. I am like Fenix now, our role model for guessing. Learn this attitude from us both instead of starting brawls about riddles which you can`t solve., :):):)

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]


Reading it on home page, I thought you mentioned the Holy picture of Black Madonna`s journey over Poland.

In 1960s, communists used to arrest the picture to discourage the crowds honouring it.

The tradition still exists today. It is called the Peregrination of the Holy Image. Our village hosted it about 4 years ago.
