What does Polish idiomatic pollinate mean??
PS. I won`t torment you with this one - I just checked the online Polish dictionary and there is no such idiom - pollinate or zapylać meant rush, hurry, speed etc when I was a boy a few decades ago. Amasing!

Life / Polish film and serial riddles [137]
Wow! I am thrilled you have still remembered this thread and riddle! :):) You are simply am..... unbelievable! :):):):)
Yes, that actor plays a doctor unjustly accused of euthanising a patient. The series was titled Circulation System. I watched it on TV in late 1970s first, then I read the book based on the script. Good reading, containing a lot of words of wisdom. E.g. Males like easy women. However, they prefer to marry the decent ones. :):):)
Thanks for bringing those memories! :):):)
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uk%C5%82ad_kr%C4%85%C5%BCenia_(serial_telewizyjny)
The protagonist of the series, widower Dr. Bognar, is wrongly accused of euthanasia and deprived of the right to practice medicine. Unable to stand inaction, he conducts an investigation on his own. He finds a clue and has to change his locations while looking for the culprit. He works as a nurse, a hygienist at a technical school, and even helps a herbalist in the countryside. He excludes the suspects one by one, and at the same time learns about the conditions in which doctors work outside the hospital he was in before.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]
We visited it once. We checked into the Cathedral to see the silver statue of St Adalbert who had been stolen by burglars in 1980s and melted. The new statue is a replica. That robbery made headlines decades ago - some journalist called it the most audacious theft of communist Poland.
On the night of March 19-20, 1986, there was a burglary, during which the thieves used crowbars and saw blades to tear out and cut out the decorations, devastating the whole work of art. They stole the silver figure of Saint Adalbert from the sarcophagus as well as a bishop's crosier, a silver pillow and three angels. They also broke the wings of six eagles. They tore off a piece of silver sheet metal from the lid of the coffin. They were captured in Gdańsk , but the silver had been melted down

Law / Statistics of crime rates in Poland [44]
Statistics of intentional homicide for other countries to compare: I have chosen the ones whose citizens frequent the Polish forum:
Norway 0.6
the USA 6.4. WOW!!!!
the UK 1.0
Australia 0.8
Right now, the intentional homicide rate for Poland is 0,7 and 0.9 for Ireland. Comparing it to prisoner statistics, one can suppose that many Irish murderers aren`t sentenced to prison.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]
I meant Polish primary school which starts at 7 and ends at 15.
Not quite. Some grammar issues are limited to basic aspects, e.g, Passive is taught only for Present Simple, Past Simple and Future Simple tenses.
Or Present Continuous tense isn`t taught in its irritation aspect. etc etc
Each year I feel less creative coz I am aging. I won`t make up anything new, I don`t care. Let it be - no homework. Kids will be even more stupid than now and in a year or two I will say: Thank you Tusk Party! :):):)
PS. The problem is that I use the exercises which students do in their home assignments as a material for our tests. I simply tell students which exercises in the Workbook are going to appear in the test and they are supposed to study them.
primary school
To age 11? Surely you mean secondary school.
