This incident was a bit dangerous:

- In a certain village, there was information that the current mayor, who is running for the position again, together with his deputy, transported voters in private cars to the polling station. Another candidate for mayor in this village decided to intervene and stopped the car driven by one of these men, and because the other man did not want to stop, the candidate was driven several dozen meters on the hood of the car - Sych described the situation.

- Therefore, the event had potentially serious consequences. The man who traveled on the hood was taken to the emergency room. The police confiscated the driver's driving document. It took actions under Article 498 of the Electoral Code (conducting electioneering during the election silence - ed.) and Article 86 of the Petty Offenses Code (threat to road traffic safety - ed.) - he added.

At last you like sth crispy - I still remember our old conversation about it. :):):)


True, possible. But if you eat your pancakes quickly, then they won`t have enough time to get soggy. Just a little. :):):)
Pancakes ala Hungarian or Highway Robber are completely covered with meat gravy and it is their big advantage.

That is why I generally prefer to abstain from replying to your idioms. Like Lenka. I always hope a not native Pole or Poless will do. ;):):

I first read it in the book published in 1976 but whose plot takes place in mid 1960s. An amateur reporter tried to interview a female worker in a weaving plant but she was busy with work and told him to get lost. He called her nasty names in revenge.

That was the time when big beat became popular in Poland, too, and possessing an electric guitar was a dream of many youngsters.

If oyster mushroom chunks can be seen in it, it means it was mushroom sauce. My fave. :):):)

Today people are lazy. While Feniks is an old style intellectual who loves using her brain all the time. Just like me. Very few people like that are left in the world. :(:(:(:(


Yes, it is very slow when we remember it started about 15 years ago when social media like Facebook emerged. Yet, we are still alive. Ha!!!!

But it seems that you have come to your senses at last and now are copying and pasting ideas from me!!! AmaSSing!!! :):): Thanks. My education of you works. :):):)

Where is your informative comment on what you are posting???
There isn`t any.
It is your primitive copy and paste as usual. :(:(:(:(

Milo, try to understand, dear impostor - either you show some true knowledge of Polish culture or I will have to carry on pointing to your total lack of Polish background.

Isn`t it simple????

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]


Yes, we know. Your communist apparatchik parents used their connections so you were allowed to leave Poland for the West. It was the privilege of people whom communists trusted. How do you feel as a former communist trustee??? :):):)

Stop twisting and evading. It is useless. The milk has already spilt. You know that I am hooked on women`s rights and male discrimination of women so why are you unnerving me. ????

Language / F... off or GTFOH used in Polish contexts [14]


So why did you say women shouldn`t swear?? If you weren`t such a sick male chauvinist, you would say: neither women nor males should swear. Ha!!!

Sorry for my strong words but I have considered you a decent male so far. Was I wrong???


Give up those antiquated prejudices what suits who more or less at last. We are living in the 21st century. Not in the Victorian era anymore.

Answer this question: should males swear??

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

Russia, although partly located in Europe, doesn`t possess European mentality. To most Russians Europe is an enemy. Even when the current regime ceases to control Russia, it will take decades to educate brainwashed Russian citizens to become Europeans. Herculaean job, indeed.

Don`t be like those male chauvinists who are the subject of the song. :):):) Women should do this, shouldn`t do that. It is a sick approach.

Language / F... off or GTFOH used in Polish contexts [14]

A few days ago I came across a wonderful song which is sort of prophetic for today`s events in the Parliament - made 3 years ago by a local female singer, Justyna Biedrawa, angered by a rightist journalist`s discriminatory and abusive comments on women, it is titled: Get the fekk out of here, please and in general is a protest song against male chauvinists who desire to dominate women.

Atmospheric tune and her soft warm voice singing F... off! are simply amasing.

Milo, here is great Polish music for you!!!



I will speak politely I will speak nicely
When in my country my opinion counts at last
As if it would be nice if my opinion meant something
I always speak politely I always speak nicely
I pay attention to syntax I don't swear excessively
I'm as subtle as anyone else,
but today one thing comes to my lips, the words
Get the fekk out.
To put it politely, get away. Stay away from women.
Please, get the fekk out

You say that I talk too much, I flaunt my views,
and it's not appropriate for a woman to talk so much.
Come on, get lost, barefoot!
let us live, let us decide, leave the Middle Ages behind.
You probably don't want to upset us anymore,
dear man, a woman is a wise subject, a reasonable subject
who thinks about her own rules. hungry for freedom,
The subject does not agree with the verb The subject gets angry at your request
Get the **** out.
To put it politely, get away. Stay away from women.
Please, get the **** out
You shouldn't have annoyed us, you should have stopped
Now get the **** out.

Madness. Now I see what you really meant.


Yes, that`s the best one can do.


Another good thing to do in life - remain optimistic. Although it is difficult to achieve.

News / Hołownia - a rising star in Polish politics? [94]

Memed Hołownia:

Carp before Christmas, seeing your dirty bathtub:


The poor results of Hołownia`s party at the latest EU elections, only 7% contrasted with 14% last October, make it clear that his good days in politics are gone. His previous voters have turned to other parties - 34% to Tusk, 8% to Konfederacja, 5% to PIS. It means he lost more voters of liberal stance who voted for him last year coz they were reluctant to support Tusk for various reasons. Now they have seen through Hołownia and dumped him.


Exactly!


Women refused to vote for Hołownia. Serves him right!!! hahahaha

Strange case. Hołownia complained in an interview that his daughter wasn`t accepted by a catholic school. And the reason he provided was , allegedly, his position in the current politics. He is the Speaker nominated by the liberal-conservative gov of Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk. Hołownia is the conservative one and as the Speaker he delayed voting on liberal abortion law as long as possible. It cost him a huge loss of support, especially among women who eventually realised his con agenda.
Today his daughter is rejected by other catholics and certain influencer priest commented on him in social media:
The parish priest from Pomerania also accused the Speaker of hypocrisy. "And by the way: where is the logic in first throwing religion out of schools, introducing abortion, and then demanding that the child be raised in a Catholic school?" - he concluded the entry, which he published on September 4.
As we can see, Hołownia is paying a price for sitting on a barricade and trying to satisfy both sides.
A proverb of Polish bees comes to mind: he gave his ass and lost virginity but didn`t earn a penny.
