Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [558]


Ziobro clearly being secretive whilst making a phone call. Looks like he doesn't want the conversation overheard.

It's almost right but your English definition is spot on. It means 'I give up'. Feeling hopeless and despairing or conveying disbelief and resignation at the same time.

What time frame are we talking? That is Zbigniew Ziobro. Is this from when he was justice minister when PiS were in power ? There are recent corruption allegations but that is since the riddle was posted in #67.

Giving a young girl illegal drugs and alcohol in order to have sex with her isn't a problem for you? Noted.


The girls that Johnny talks about in such glowing terms are all someone's daughters/granddaughters etc. Context.


Instead of being rude perhaps you'd care to give your thoughts on Johnny's comments below. I'm sure there will be a deafening silence because it's going to be quite hard to defend the indefensible:




Anyone supporting these vile comments has a screw loose.

You do realise that the DM link you posted originally is not the same one that I posted in #202?

This is what you posted:

This is what I posted which includes the 2 videos:

You should be apologising now then as my British source includes footage of what was said.

That's probably a first then! I just presume the Polish members will know all the riddles.

Onto the next one and this is easy:

What is meant by 'hands are dropping'?

News / Polish coal will be back [129]


Devastating for whole communities.


Exactly. Closure of the mines had a knock on effect for all the other industries. My lodger retrained as an electrician but even all these years on there is no work where he comes from. He lives there but works away most of the time on contracts.


Parts of Wales are very much like that. Much easier to get on the mortgage ladder but no job prospects and decaying town and village centres. These places will never recover.

News / Polish coal will be back [129]


That first video clip reminds me of a lodger I had many years ago now. He was so happy when she died. He'd been a miner back in the day in the Welsh valleys and he lost both his job and his miner's cottage when the mines were shut down. One of the first things he asked me when he came to my house to have a look around was what was my opinion of Margaret Thatcher. He's a smashing bloke and we're still good mates.

It is what the Brits call the Daily Mail, but hey! Try and distract from the British source that I linked to earlier.
Here it is again for you:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13466099/Jaws-star-Richard-Dreyfuss-DRESS-delivering-sexist-homophobic-speech.html

But of course you'll hardly ever admit that you're wrong.........

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


I wouldn't do that but there are posters here that would. At least two people that I know of that were on this forum have been stalked in real life and had their employment suffer as a result.


You're loyal I'll give you that. I wouldn't want anyone who thinks that little girls are bait or thinks it is the girl's fault for getting raped because of the way she is dressed within a mile of female members of my family. If you think that Johnny's comments are in any way normal, then there is something seriously wrong with your thinking too.

He's still saying the same thing in his latest post # 115:


Little girls do not 'put the bait out there'.

History / The Two Saddest Nations on Earth... Poles and Jews [243]


I asked the same thing in my post # 202 but strangely enough he didn't reply........


In my post 202 I said to you that the Daily Fail had linked to a video clip:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13466099/Jaws-star-Richard-Dreyfuss-DRESS-delivering-sexist-homophobic-speech.html

Actually, there are 2 video clips in the article so that blows your lack of British freedom of speech out the window.

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


OMG, he really does look like him! Especially that first picture. Believe it or not I've never actually seen Crackerjack so I had no idea who he was.


Did you not read post # 99 where I posted Johnny's quotes? They are his own words, not mine.
https://polishforums.com/off-topic/thinking-writting-book-myself-88427/4/#msg1971933


Why would I post details about my private life here when there are posters like Johnny to stalk and research given any little bit of information? In addition, it's none of your business.

I have posted quotes which are JR's own words so it's hardly a question of me lying and being untruthful is it.

If you support him that much then you should have no problem introducing him to your granddaughters. Here are more of his own words just so you know exactly what he thinks about girls in general:





Little girls putting the bait out there? Hardly a normal way of thinking is it?

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


You see this is where your thinking is completely screwed. Normal people on hearing somebody your age making lascivious comments about young girls would think in exactly the same way as I do, that you're a lecherous creep. You try your best to insinuate that I'm overweight and over the hill to try and justify your unnatural way of thinking about young girls.

Why on earth would some 18 year old be interested in a retired grease monkey with a criminal record who bears an uncanny resemblance to Humpty Dumpty?

The more I read of your comments on this forum the more inclined I am to think that what Lazarus is saying isn't so far from the truth.


Would you be happy for your granddaughters to be spoken about in the way that Johnny speaks about young girls? Would you like them plied with alcohol and cocaine?

I don't know how you can defend someone who makes comments like this that you don't have to take someone's word for because he has actually written them here on PF.





Perhaps you'd like to introduce him to one of your young female family members.

History / The Two Saddest Nations on Earth... Poles and Jews [243]


Where are the reports of what was said in the US media? This did take place in a US movie theatre after all and it was this venue that apologised for what he said. So much for freedom of speech. I don't get why you think the British press would be that interested in an aged American actor making insulting remarks in an American theatre? Slow news week?

You didn't look too hard either. I found a 6 minute video clip courtesy of the Daily Fail. It was very hard to hear what he was saying to be honest.

You're right, it means that someone got completely lost. Apparently, the origins of the idiom are unknown but I think it stands to reason that somewhere down the line someone wandered over that border.....

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


More lies. I don't have a picture of you and I think everybody here knows that you are Jim Werden because you have inadvertently dropped yourself in it so many times.


Not true but think what you want because I don't really care who you are.

What I will say though is that you do yourself absolutely no favours by talking about females the way you do. 'Hot girls', girls with 'hard bellies', '18 year old virgins' etc etc

You are over 70. You come across as a completely lecherous creep.

I'm not that stupid that I couldn't see what you were doing.

As far as I'm concerned any opportunity to show you up for the absolute cockroach that you are shouldn't be wasted.

Off-Topic / Feed Back on the Moderating - Part 2 [190]

Who are you to open a thread like this? You are one of the worst abusers of the rules.

You have trashed both music threads to the extent that I won't be posting on them. You are incapable of keeping on topic on most threads although you are very fond of telling others to do the same. You abuse the copy/paste rule constantly because you don't know anything about Poland and are incapable of any independent thought.


I don't think Vincent was replaced but here you go again with your obsession about moderators.


This has got to be some sort of joke. You are obviously stalking members as demonstrated by your posting of a photo of who you think Jon and his partner are. Then you tried to find Atch's book in the hope of trying to identify her in real life. For those things alone you should have been permanently banned.

This is how you speak to members:


Foulest mouth on the forum.

Correct! A remote backwater. Somewhere in the ass end of nowhere.

News / Northern Lights in Poland [45]


That's amazing! I found that very same picture of the deer in your hunting cabin front yard on this website:

thetruthaboutguns.com/incendiary-image-of-the-day-whey-they-should-allow-hunting-with-fully-automatic-weapons-edition/

It's on this website too!

buckmanager.com/2007/12/21/too-many-deer-problems-with-overabundance/

And again! This time it's about chronic wasting disease in deer.

slideserve.com/keon/chronic-wasting-disease

Given that you have clearly copied and pasted the deer shot and tried to pass it off as your own, I think it would be safe to say that the chances of those northern light shots being your photos are slim to non-existent.

That does surprise me unless it's not commonly used these days.

If no-one else has a go I'll post the meaning.

Thanks. I didn't know that but it doesn't work too well for accents. Just put the subtitles on for that clip of Jon's video. Didn't make a whole lot of sense!

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [750]


I'm saying that your 'sensible' suggestion of keeping a small gun on yourself at all times still doesn't guarantee you won't get shot and killed. So you arm yourself against home invaders only to get shot by law enforcement. You couldn't make it up!


I wonder how many more dead human beings are acceptable to Novi. I think he should give us some numbers as he demands of everyone else on this forum. In addition better training for the police. Their policy appears to be shoot to kill first and ask questions later.


Best advise them not to answer the front door whilst armed! Instead of the postman it could be your friendly law enforcement officers at the wrong house!

Then you don't know anything about Britain. In the West Country the 'r' is very strongly pronounced.

Just for you ;)

Didn't help Senior Airman Roger Fortson who opened his front door only to be shot dead by a Florida deputy who went to the wrong apartment.

If you think that was a one-off, think again.

Robert Dotson was fatally shot when the police went to the wrong house:

Guess keeping oneself armed at all times isn't the safest or most sensible option............

Me too :(

It wasn't supposed to be in my part of the UK so I didn't bother to look for it but I've seen many photos taken in my town. Stayed up on the Saturday in the vain hope of a repeat performance, but nothing.

Love the Bieszczady Mountains photos :)

Another stereotype. Do you seriously think every lesbian couple conform to your views?

My line manager and her wife are both slim attractive women with long hair.

I doubt you've ever met any lesbian/gay couples in your entire life.

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


That's a very stereotypical view.
You can't say that every woman who is overweight and not very attractive is lesbian. Surely you can't be that stupid.
