Life / Was Legionella in Poland a biological weapon attack? [22]

A quick thing about Legionella which could be a specific risk in Poland Many people have a dzialka in the countryside for weekends. If you do, and the dzialka has been empty all week, run all the taps when you go there, especially the shower.

It's the same if you've been away on holiday. When you get home, run the taps, especially the shower. There are a few nasties (not just legionella) that can incubate while sitting in pipes in warm weather.

Deserved. It's in the past.


I'd suggest that he (or any other psychotherapist) might say you're a bit slow on the uptake about that one.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


Firstly, it is in the wrong thread.


Secondly, if you'd read the trolling post, you'd see that it should be "had" not "have" since the authorities stopped it.

And, by the way, it was some dodgy private company.

It's quite telling that the partial sentence of mine from many pages back that you quoted was actually about being approached by women.


Are you? Do you?

You certainly seem to mention it often enough.

That of course is nothing about trans safety (the subject of this thread) however your mind switched straight away to:
i. Hot man on man bromance jock action
ii. Hiding that side of your sexuality in public.

Freud could have written a nice, thick and throbbing volume on your equally post

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]


This one was actually pretty good. The guy who ran it won a prize for the best pizza in Melbourne.

Maybe it closed because it wasn't Polish enough and the pizzas weren't dry/bland/porky with dollops of tomato ketchup.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


That's true, and I'd say it's the same for pretty well any country, and the larger the country, the more the variables.

But hey, 'novichok' is making bizarre and pointless demands for non-existent and irrelevant statistics, a sure sign that he's lost the argument he started.

USA, Canada / Using maiden name as middle name [21]


Definitely a lawyer, as Paulina says. It should be easy to find one in the city in question, and as far as I know it's straightforward.

My friend who did it had to give a reason for changing his name to the judge (a lawyer would help with this) and was there himself. A lawyer should be able to advise if you need to go in person of if they can do it for you. I do t think it costs much however I remember he had to wait a while to get a court date.

Good luck!

USA, Canada / Using maiden name as middle name [21]

You may need to change your name in Polish records to what it is in reality now.

Unfortunately they have a weird rule in Poland that you have to ask the permission of a judge to change your own name!

I've no idea why they'd have that rule however a friend changed his name for personal reasons and although it took some time, it wasn't expensive.

The jumbo full of civilian men women and children that Putler's r*SSian 'heroes' shot down over Ukraine certainly did.

Indeed.

It's just some fairly foul specimens of humanity spewing out hatred about things they can't change and in some cases won't live to see much of and banging on about religion despite never going to church.

A bit like monkeys in the zoo flinging turds from a cage.

Life / In need of good Polish jokes about Polish culture, people, etc [239]


It's quite obvious really.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


Basically yes.

And nothing whatsoever to do with trans issues at all.


If he had heard of it, it would belong in a different thread.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


No they aren't.

And that's not about trans issues either.

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


What the hell has that got to do with trans issues?

Anyway, it isn't 'daycare centres', it's some private company. Yet one more reason to keep capitalism out of education.

That didn't work out well for him, did it.

Travel / Being Straight and Visiting Gdańsk [20]


Indeed.

I hope they don't have 'straight hotels' in Gdańsk. We stayed at an otherwise respectable erotic hotel in Berlin that unfortunately also lets straights in and there was a fat man in a silver jock strap holding onto a dog lead that had a woman at the end of it. She had bulldog clips on her minnie moo.

Depends on the weather, the restaurants and shops and access to an airport.

Law / Urgently need somewhere in Poland to stay - short-term government assistance? [17]


Not as bad as they sound.


There are some on Zwirki i Wigury that are OK.

One problem is that due to rising housing costs, many of the temporary hostels are full Monday-Friday with office workers.

A literary form of that, I think.

BTW, the pizza restaurant that I've mentioned as being excellent (Cucciolina) has now closed. A great shame.

Law / Urgently need somewhere in Poland to stay - short-term government assistance? [17]


That's good advice.

Some cities also have PCK hostels where some of the people pay to stay short term and other are placed there due to need.

That's what I was thinking of.

I also saw a good one this week. And also spent an hour wondering whether "ooze" was part of the pre-IndoEuropean substrate. I need a new hobby maybe.

Life / Was Legionella in Poland a biological weapon attack? [22]


I just read that this is being investigated. Hopefully it isn't anything suspicious however water hygiene is something w need to be careful about as temperatures rise and air conditioning is perhaps overused anyway.

This article from today's newspaper is a balanced one.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]

I would hope so, and in any case if you order Telepizza (and most others near us) the delivery person is from the shop rather than UberEats. And we always tip them well anyway.

edit

The refund amount was the cost of the pizzas, 96zl and didn't include the delivery charge which is actually surprisingly small.

Would she be safe visiting Gdansk though. That place is riddled with hets. They even have parades and flaunt their sexuality with strange costumes that they buy from so-called 'bridal wear' shops.
