Good. Some people sleep and have life.

You must not be one of them as ornery as you always are.

he will represent us with much more class and he will keep the government at least a little bitin check.

A guy that needs a shave doesn't show much class in my book and he may or may not keep the government in check.

All politicians campaigning promise wonders and then sht blunders.

If only you had had the $243 to buy just one share back then.

Actually I bought 200 shares back then in March of 2017 for $243 delph.
You then told me that Tesla was going under and to sell it and take my losses.
Remember, it is all in the electric car thread.
I then posted this:

I still believe that Tesla stock could hit $1000 per share in three or four years.

Today TESLA just hit $1400 a share delph.
Am I good or what ?

.three years later Tesla stockYup I got some, and yup you told em wot to buy but the BBC llllllloooooooosers

I hope you still have it dolno as you have made a $1000 a share on it now.
I sold mine after a modest gain.
I since re - invested that money into 200 shares of Apple (AAPL) back in the first part of April 2020 at $240 a share.
Keep an eye on it as it has had a steady increase ever since and is up to $370 today July 2020.
I feel there is still time to get in on this one for long term.

True that. So it boils down to refugees and gay people...

Those are just a couple of my opinions.

He had nothing to do with that.

And that is YOUR opinion.

now your turn, why do you see what's his name as the better choice ?

Still waiting.......

What? This thread isn`t Off Topic.

No but your last three posts in this thread have been off - topic. hahaha

I'm all eyes and waiting for the list.

Poland is still using the zloty aren't they after being threatened.
Poland refused immigrants after being threatened.
Poland doesn't want to cater to Homosexuals as a Christian nation and neither does Duda want Polish children exposed to it as "the new norm" when it most certainly is not..

Poland is still the safest country in the E.U. aren't they ?
Seems Duda has the balls to stand up for Poland.
Duda is the best choice as it always comes down to the lessor of two evils in any election.
Those are a couple of reasons why I see Duda as the best choice, now your turn, why do you see what's his name as the better choice ?

And this is what America is hearing on Poland's election come Sunday.
Duda will win "if" the older people don't stay home because of the virus.
Poland's older citizens have got to get out and vote if the best man is to win.

Crow is right, just look at that great smile Duda has and wearing a tie and clean shaven.
What a classy guy to represent Poland.
DUDA 2020 !

Food / KETO DIET - is it known in Poland? [30]

If you would have read the article I posted in post #3 it tells you that one of the side effects is bad breath.
If you drink large amounts of coffee......try quit drinking it for a few days and watch the headache you will experience from the withdrawals from the caffeine.

Doesn't seem like people in Poland are that interested in nutrition.

Food / KETO DIET - is it known in Poland? [30]

makes you retain water as you are on KETO and my migraines have stopped thanks to KETO.

Funny you say that Mr. G as that totally makes sense.
I had migraines for years and went to countless doctors to no avail besides getting some kick ass pain killers.
One day I stumbled onto an excellent Nutritionist some years ago and she ask me how much water I was drinking a day.
When I told her none she was horrified and said at least three twelve ounce glasses per day.
I am proud to say I haven't had a migraine since.
So it sounds like you are very educated on diet and nutrition Mr. Grunwald.
Keep up the good work as without your health you have nothing.

Food / KETO DIET - is it known in Poland? [30]

And my personal opinion is about the same as yours B.B.
The best diet is to avoid all the sugar that you can.
Difficult to do when it comes to drinks of any kind.
Stay away from pasta, potato's, breads and wheat.
FRESH fruits and vegetables and small portions of red lean meat, chicken and pork.

As far as the Keto diet goes ..................
The Keto weight loss diet has no fewer than SEVEN side-effects - and you are not gonna like them.

Actually I bought 200 shares back if you were to go back and read the electric car thread Mr. Jealous.
You are eaten up with jealousy to think I have $50k to invest in one stock and your bitterness shows.
If you wouldn't have pis sed yours all up on the wall from guzzling beer you could be living much better then you are living in that shelter for the homeless.

I stuck my neck out and suggest you buy Tesla a couple of years ago and got laughed at.

If you would have listened and taken my advise you could retire now in Poland modestly.

There is your second tip and lesson on investing in the market, the first when I suggested everyone to buy TESLA.

I bought 200 shares of their stock back in March 2017 at $243 per share. (TSLA)

(delph & I I posted the following March of 2017)

I still believe that Tesla stock could hit $1000 per share in three or four years.

Looks like Tesla are finished. The stock is at $260 and in freefall

I tried to tell you guys now didn't I........three years later Tesla stock just hit a $1000 a share. July 2020.
"If" I would not have listened to delph and would have held on to my 200 shares for the last three years I would have made $150,000 on it.

Delph......You're Fired !

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]

I suggest you find a therapist

No need when I have your meaningless daily suggestions/opinions.

or recognizes any "power" that any posters here have.

Not as much as they use to have.
The English teachers (ex-pats) that use to lord over people here who had English as their second language that got mocked and belittled by these sad old drunken unhappy ex-pat school teachers from Britain.

And even today they seem so depressed with no excitement in their lives.
They have no hobbies, they don't participate in sports, they get zero exercise, they make crappy wages, they live in gloomy flats, and their highlight of the week is going out to drink alcohol.

No wonder they are so unhappy.

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]

one time mentioning ENGLISH TEACHERS would get you permanently banned

I remember that very well Cargo.
And since all the ex-pats posting here were English teachers they use to have all the power here.
But then we got new Mods and all of that changed. :-)

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

Guess people like to buy cheap food.

Like the saying goes Cargo, "Good food is not cheap and cheap food is not good."
Hopefully Poland will never see the junk food stores that the U.S.A. has like Dollar General and Family Tree.
Everything in the store is $1.
These stores have been popping up all over America in economically disadvantaged areas.
The foods are sub standard and causing poor people to buy the crap making them very unhealthy with high fat, salt and sugar contents.
This causes all kinds of health issues from obesity, heart decease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
Most of the crap comes from China.
A couple of items like 'Polish mushrooms' in a jar for $1 is one heck of a deal however.
Cheap foods ruin a persons health which in essence costs Poland's health care system a ton of money in the long run.
You should be very glad that Tesco has moved out Poland.

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

Not really as they are expanding in other countries.
The move to close stores on Sundays created "market challenges" in Poland.
That meant business in the country lagged behind the "stronger market positions with good growth prospects" in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, on which the Tesco will now focus.

Tesco will still keep 19 independently owned stores in Poland.
Once Poland sees the lease obligation price falling it may be incentive for someone to pick up buy back shares offered by Tesco.
Just another marketing ploy by big business to restructure.

USA, Canada / Poles Living in the Chicago Area [343]

Obama is not in charge now -

Thank God for small favors !
You probably haven't notice that all the rioting, burning, looting is happening in cities with Democratic leadership.
Oh, and do tell us what obimbo did when he was at the helm to solve the Black shootings in Chicago besides play basketball with several NBA players, the Harlem Globetrotters, Team U.S.A. and his buddies in the Rose garden weekly.

Now it's those infected with the Trump Derangement Syndrome, like you cms, that are so desperately trying to blame Trumps R&R time playing a round of golf for the Blacks shooting each other in Chicago.

Trumps wants to send the military in to clean the mess up but the Bleeding Heart Liberals won't stand for it.
You can't make this stuff up.

That's nothing to do with LGBT matters.

Sure it does.
Stars of banned condom ad fear Duda's re-election.
For Jakub Kwiecinski, a ban by Poland's public broadcaster on a condom advertising featuring him and his husband has come as no surprise, but it does make him uneasy about what targets a government clampdown on LGBT rights.

Duda's the man for Poland.

Study / School meals in Poland [145]

Maffy, are you having a bad day again ?

The generation who grew up in the U.K. with rationing during and after WWII are probably the healthiest generation ever.

Of course.
Same in the U.S. as we didn't have all the commercialized foods back then that we have today.
Meat, potato's and green beans but what kid wants that today when there is Pizza Hut and McDonalds filled with taste enhancers.
How many parents even cook at home today ?

To get a troll to understand that sometimes requires repeating it several times until the abnormal people that Bait get it.

Who?

jon stop your trolling as you have answered your own question repeatedly in this thread.

So I guess the correct answer to your Baiting question is, SOCIETY pays for the free meals jon.
No please stop with your non stop trolling and baiting.
johnny reb

Study / School meals in Poland [145]

That's the whole point.

Not true jon, the point was that nothing is free just like those free meals you speak of.
Someone has to pay for them so they are not free as a meal in itself.
They only become free after they have been paid for by society.
You seem to having a horrible time perceiving that fact.

a lot of hard work is needed to truly break the vicious circle of deprivation.

Poland is notorious for always being twenty to thirty years behind times in these priority areas jon.
johnny reb

Study / School meals in Poland [145]

Everybody.

Exactly jon, "everybody" pays for those free meals so in essence they are only free to the beneficiary.

Probably the same as with his lazy ass father...

I want to push your button here Lenka and say that the father is the bread winner who buys the food so it is the lazy ass mother's job to prepare it.

I won't though as this is not a laughing matter as in your next remark a light bulb went on from my youth.

But let's admit it- UK and I assume Ireland have great support for struggling families and in that respect hats off.

It was no secret that here in the U.S. that the Polish look at children different then other countries.
It seemed that with the Polish, children just happened and aren't really planned.
Children should be seen but not heard and have a job by the time they are twelve to support themselves.
As long as you have a society that accepts alcoholism as a norm nothing is going to change anytime soon.
I personally could not deprive an animal from food that was hungry and will never understand how a father or mother could abuse their own child with such neglect.

Vitamin D is so important in a child's development.

That's the problem with the Polish menu, way too fatty and salty, way too much pork.

Tradition carried over from the days of war when the food supply was scarce.
How did my Polish grandfather live into his late 80's and my Polish grandmother live into her late 90's when all they ate was potato pancakes with bacon grease smeared on them.

School meals are.As Kaprys pointed out, society provides them.

Being a Socialist I can understand why you are so adamant about denying that "Nothing is free" besides the air you breath.
kapry pointed out that social welfare pays for those lunches so they are not free.
I don't have to live in Poland to understand that ms. so proud to be Polish.

School meals are.As Kaprys pointed out, society provides them.

So you are now claiming that "society' pays for the school lunches ?
Who is society jon ?
Nothing is free and neither are the school lunches as society pays for them just as you claimed.
