USA, Canada / What Airline do you take to Poland from Chicago? [98]

It's just the terminal they've been allocated at the moment,

That would make it their terminal then for the moment or moments or days or weeks or...

There is no 'LOT terminal".

Sure there is, it's the one LOT uses. :-)

Very few have a dedicated terminal for one airline

Now that is possible, maybe Delta in Atlanta.

USA, Canada / What Airline do you take to Poland from Chicago? [98]

we're aware of how the word 'terminal' is used.

Sure doesn't sound like it.

here is the Polish airlines website referring to the LOT Terminal.

Again Harry, we are talking about O'Hare LOT terminal and LOT website in the U.S.A. but I know how you like to argue that the flower was pink and not rose.

So, it's clearly not the LOT terminal,

Sure it is silly.
Then why does O'Hare refer to it as the LOT terminal and why does LOT's website refer to it as their terminal ??????
Again and again and again, you are ignorant to our terminology and just want to argue.

Harry and delph however are not savvy to American terminology and not understanding that 'we' knew EXACTLY what 'we Americans' were talking about very clearly.

Maybe this will help you Eurps get it.
I just called O'Hare and the call went like this......

O'Hare> thank you for calling Chicago's O'Hare, how may I direct your call ?
Johnny Reb> Would you be kind enough to connect me with the LOT Terminal please
O'Hare> one moment please
Johnny Reb> sigh
O'Hare> This is the LOT terminal, how may I be of help ?
Johnny Reb> Just a quick question or two, does LOT always use this terminal ?
O'Hare> Yes they do, that would be terminal 5.
Johnny Reb> And which gate do they use ?
O'Hare> That would be gate M7 sir.
Johnny Reb> Thank you mam, you have been a tremendous help.

So my Eurp friends, that is the terminology American's use.
I hope you get it this time around so we don't have to listen to you repeat yourselves.
Oh, and here is the Polish airlines website referring to the LOT Terminal.
airport-ohare.com/airlines/lot-polish-airlines
See how LOT refers it to their terminal !
Since you don't live here to understand our lingo, debate your hearts out on how laughable we are as we laugh back at ya.

Its just more proof of their abuse and bullying on this forum!

That is because they are ignorant to American terminology.
Take Atlanta's airport......it has five "Concourses" that we commonly call terminals.
Someone from Europe would not be indoctrinated to such terminology.
In Atlanta the Concourses are A-B-C-D-E which are all connected by an underground tram.
If you were to ask ANYONE (American) in that airport where "terminal" D was they would know you were talking about "Concourse" D.
The Eurps are not savvy to our lingo as much as I am not when Roz pops off with Brit terminologies that I have never heard before.

I had a horrible time trying to explain to an Auzzie on here one time that I could walk into an automotive parts store and ask for a timing chain or a timing belt and I would be handed the same part for the year and model of car that I gave them.

Harry and delph however are not savvy to American terminology and enjoy bullying people like they did above by splitting hairs not understanding that 'we' knew EXACTLY what 'we Americans' were talking about very clearly.

Or as we say here down south, "C-ya'll".

Eight year old information ?
You can do better, maybe e-mail them and ask.
Then we can get back on topic.

Turkish Airlines is the cheapest at about $550.
For an extra $100 or so you can fly LOT non-stop.
In fact I think LOT is the only airlines that does a non-stop from ORD for about $675.

It won't kill you

Depending on if any of those old pipes are lead pipes.
If they are, they very well could eventually kill you with low levels of lead exposer over time.

UK, Ireland / Polish lorry driver arrested for smuggling 9 million cigarettes [64]

Coming to Poland soon.

NYC where the same cigs retail at 15 a pack

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has signed legislation raising the minimum price for a pack of cigarettes to $13 in New York City.
Health Department officials say the hike from $10.50 will make the city the most expensive place to buy cigarettes in the country.
The $13-a-pack cost includes taxes.
The law goes into effect on June 1.

UK, Ireland / Polish lorry driver arrested for smuggling 9 million cigarettes [64]

The high price and the restrictions on smoking in the UK has reduced the number of smokers dramatically.

I think one out of three people smoke tobacco in Poland.

If cigs were 30PLN in PL,

That is about what they are in the U.S.
How much does a pack cost in Poland right now ?

If he hadn't been caught, society would have lost out on millions.

Worse yet.........
Polish firms are left some PLN 31 million/EUR 7.3m out of pocket every day because of staff bunking off for cigarette breaks.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

It is about neo-Marxist ideology that after taking over a culture

That is exactly what it is and that is why Trump is so hated is because he refuses to play into the Liberal Left Marxist P.C. destruction of America.

Excellent post by the way Ironside.
If it is politically correct to be called a Caucasian then why is it not p.c. to be called a N egro ?
You is what you is.

On the other hand, using the term 'Bambo'

Exactly Z and that Bambo is geographically racist as someone where I live saying "porch m******".
Those terms become offensive fighting words and should only be used in private among the same race.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

Tesla sold a grand total of eight cars in Poland.

And delph was lucky enough to drive one of them if you can believe that.

I've driven one

I have driven one too and will admit the seats were not like the leather ones in my truck.

it's a great car, it was lacking many of the finishing touches that make a real luxury car.

They are still considered a luxury car especially when you compare them to the oversized beer cans that the Eurps drive.
Of course......... "real luxury car" costs twice as much as a Tesla so they should have twice as nice seats to sit in.
You can't compare a Tesla to a Rolls Royce delph, you have to stay in the same price range to compare apples to apples.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

In 2014 Tesla sold a grand total of eight cars in Poland.

Not surprising as they are out of the price range of most Poles.
World wide however they sold over 50,000 Tesla in 2014.

Not to mention that Tesla is a full size luxury car

Not really. A common complaint among Tesla owners is the poor finishing and quality of the cars.

Oh yes really very much so a luxury car that is quality made.
You get a bit reckless with the truth sometimes delph.....is it jealousy or just pure trolling ?
In fact read the reviews for yourself on Tesla for 2014.

We are talking about Tesla BATTERRY PLANTS to corner the world market Harr, now tune in here.

Why do you keep wanting to spin the issue here Harr ?
You should really go to off - topic discussion if you insist on doing that.

Tesla isn't even in the top five sellers here

I can't remember making such a claim to that spin of yours to divert my claims.

that a company which is now building a factory bigger than the one Tesla is partially building.

Which battery factory is bigger than one of the three Tesla's new battery buildings ?
You just want to troll argue by parroting your obsessive compulsive claims that have nothing to do with mine to drive your frivolous point into the ground.

If you want to troll to an off - topic discussion of my point of Tesla battery plants then you'll be talking to yourself.

Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

You are even more hilarious.
Gee Harr, thanks for enlightening us that the Scottish people evolved from Poland.
You are claiming that the Scots blood lines came from Poland.
Very interesting to say the least. lol
There are more Pol Americans on this forum with Polish ancestry than Pol Scots (are there any ?) which is the topic old boy.
Again you obsessive compulsion behavior is to argue trolling like I have already said.

We don't have to answer to people (defend ourselves) except to the ex-pats on the Polish Forums you mean ? lol

Business at your bicycle shop must be slow today aye ?

Of course not as they would just call themselves a European which covers all the old European countries.

That was my point Harr so troll & spin it to your hearts delight but please do it in Off - Topic.
Now back on topic here please. (as it goes in one ear and out the other)

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

As I stated back in the beginning of this thread that I personally don't think ev will be around for long as we know them.

Electric cars are an up and coming short life fad

Technology today is designing motors that are amazing the amount of HP to come out of such small gas engines.

LPG is half the price of petrol or diesel in Poland,

Same in the U.S.A. and there is a glut of LPG, a by product of all the oil drilling that is going on.

My home heating LPG is less then $1.00 per gallon while petrol sells for about $2.50 per gallon for my truck.
What are the costs of LPG & petrol in Poland presently ?
The environment will suffer much more from the use of ev then it will from LPG or petrol cars.
Once the Greenies figure that out the fad of ev will slowly die out unless there are major design improvements. IMO

Your reading comprehension is very poor Harr or you spinning my posts intentional in an effort to try and humiliate me which sadly only makes you look like an idiot.

Have you a clue how big these plants will be compared to what there is now ?

Who is Peeweeher pretending to be Peterweg ?

As I said, two other companies are each matching the size of Teslas factories

And who would these companies be ?

Not for the rest of the market .

Tesla will put a huge dent in the market when their three new plants open.
By 2025 they should corner the market.

Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]

Let me elaborate.
America is not even 250 years old yet.
The people from around the world who migrated here are very proud of their ancestry so therefore it has become an American tradition to put our ancestry before America to identify.

Polish - American, Afro - American or in Canada's case, French Canadian for example.
Knowing this the Americans often times will call themselves Polish referring to their ancestry and heritage.
We need not Poland's or European's permission to do this no matter how offended they may be.
It is a harmless American tradition like it or not.

have you ever heard a Yoorapean call themselves a Scottish - Pole ?

Of course not as they would just call themselves a European which covers all the old European countries.

Most Europeans find it quite hilarious when someone proclaims themselves to be something-American while exhibiting a high level of ignorance.

Problem for Tesla is that the two other major battery manufacturers are matching the production of Tesla/Panasonic

Currently you mean.
It has become apparent that you are very negative toward the future of Tesla because it is U.S.A. based.
I have repeated myself three times now and you seem to not want to comprehend.

Like I tried to explain in post #69, Tesla is building 3 gigantic battery factories.

These factories are mega huge and no doubt will eventually corner the world market whether you Brits like it or not.
Tesla is on the cutting edge of research and development of these batteries which will change the future of the world.
