Is it that bad?

History / Would Russians try to kill my family in 1944-1945 when they came to Poland? [5]


That certainly wasn't why they shot your grandfather's brother in the foot. Most likely they were just drunk, maybe they also wanted to rob them. They behaved no differently in Butscha last year.

@Atch
Yes, I use Irish Kerrygold butter to make my son's sandwiches. It is always soft even after taking it out of the fridge. How do you do it? Do you add any oil to it?

I would like to be called Poles and not genitals....

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]


It must have been much later, coarsely ground coffee was for coffee machines with a filter. Finely ground coffee in electric coffee grinders would not be suitable for filters because it would clog them.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]


It must have been a long time ago. I also remember finely ground coffee poured with boiling water in a glass, very strong and fragrant for the whole house. But I remember it from my youth.

If it's black chocolate then you're fine, it's supposed to prolong life.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]

Sometimes when I go for a kebab in Leipzig, I get a small glass of very strong Turkish tea from a samovar for free, which is practically constantly boiling. This is the only black tea I drink with sugar. There is no such kebab in Poland.

Life / 60th birthday in Poland [38]


I'm trying, unfortunately my two female cousins died shortly after 50, our close friend a Polish priest in Germany shortly after 60. Moreover, in the news so many young people are now dying ... scary to think. Good thing Corona is over. Back to the topic, we celebrated in a small group. The kids will come next week. I'm not going to do anything at work.....Hmm, this is where I actually have a question, would you celebrate 60 at work?

@Novichok
I thought for 60 you had to invite at least 60 guests and drink for three days. To be clear, I had a glass of champagne with my wife.

In Germany it's annoying that you can't buy regular aspirin or ibuprofen at drugstores or supermarkets. You can only get them at the pharmacy.

Suffering often seems to be a way of life, and this applies not only to Poles, but also to, for example, Jews.

Life / 60th birthday in Poland [38]


I'm not going to get depressed over this. I also do not want to set my life anew, as I have already written, no new children because late-born children lose their parents when they need them most. I will also no longer drive on highways 200/kmh as I did as a 30-year-old, only 130 on the cruise control as befits a serious person. The most important change is that a man after 60 does not have to prove many things to himself. Yes, it gives a lot of psychological comfort. No, I don't want to be 30 again, but I don't want to be 80 either.

Bournemouth is a beautiful town but not EU either. The EU is more tolerant.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]


Poles are often blond as small children, then their hair darkens.

Not really, some of the things I did when I was 30, I certainly won't repeat when I'm 60.

I'd rather not imagine that

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

I have been wondering for a long time why Ukraine was so fiercely defending one little-known city of Bakhmut. I was just as surprised why the Russians so persistently want to conquer this city. I understood it only when I found out that they call this city Artemovsk. And then I remembered that the largest European producer of sparkling wines is located in Artemovsk, not only that, he also uses the Krymsekt brand. And finally, in the cellars of this plant there were 5 million bottles of champagne wine, some very old and expensive. Well, it's clear now, it was worth fighting for.

It looks like a list of countries from which there are the most illegal immigrants wanting to Europe.

Off-Topic / Terms of Russian Surrender [116]

@Bobko
I especially like point 7. I also propose point 8; Królewiec/Königsberg will return to the matrix, but I don't know yet whether for Królewiec the matrix is Poland or Germany.

Something's not right here. Unless you're comparing 1.7 trillion rubles with 0,7 trillion Euro?
