News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [421]

I want to post sth about Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk

Me, too!!!

Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk has just commented on US election:

Holy words from the Genius:
Harris or Trump? Some claim that the future of Europe depends on the American elections, while it depends first and foremost on us. On condition Europe finally grows up and believes in its own strength. Whatever the outcome, the era of geopolitical outsourcing is over.

Check now.

Wow!!! Amasing!!! It also works on my other searches.
I have been waiting for this improvement for years. Thanks.

I reported it to the Staff a few years ago but it probably went unnoticed by a regular mod/modess. Now added link to the last post (marked as: >>) too.

You can use "My Threads" link

:):):)
I meant mostly threads started by other members.

or "View All Posts / Threads"

:):):)
The list it offers is even longer than Search does. Looking through it would take hours daily.

It is possible we don`t understand each other.
Let me tell you exactly what my problem is. Right now I want to post sth about Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk in the thread Tusk Dictator (which isn`t my thread). I type Tusk in search and get 8 results of which my desired thread is the last one while it is obvious and logical it should be the first coz it contains the newest posts.

This search was easy cos it gave only 8 results. Sometimes there are more tiring ones which offer 3 pages of results and the thread with newest posts I am looking for is usually at the end of page 2.

Can`t you arrange search results according to date of the last post instead of other criteria which are too obscure to me right now???

If not, what else do you suggest I do to quicken the search process??? Check now.

Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [17]

completely different in taste.

Quite possible.

The best obwarzaneks are the fresh ones straight from the oven - then they are the crispiest. While the ones who stay too long in that cart become too rubbery from the moisture in the air.
I must say it is a very fulfilling dish - it saved me from starving a few times in my life. Besides, it offers a good opportunity to engage your hands and mind and forget about stress while walking in streets.

my youth in Katowice.

I suppose all southern Poland is covered by the influence of obwarzanek. I also found the name in Wiech Wiechecki`s court stories from Warsaw published before WW2. But those warsawian ones must have been different than krakowian.

That`s true. I am still thinking how to do it from Poland. I don`t have a credit card so I have to send a direct transfer from my account.
I need the receiver`s name, address and bank account.

complains the most.

Of course that`s a rightist lie. Ha!!!

the discussion will appear on top of the main page.

Yes, it works.
I think I might use it instead of faulty Search function which doesn`t show the threads with latest dates but offers a complete chaos and I need to run through 3 pages of search results to find a thread I posted in 2 months ago coz it is usually at the end of the list instead of at the beginning. You can use "My Threads" link or "View All Posts / Threads" feature to easily find your posts or threads. The general search is not specifically designed for that.

It was clearly stated that it was a part of the rocket

Why is it important to establish if it was a part or whole rocket??? Coz I don`t understand the objective of this exchange.

Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [17]

Ironside, thank you for giving me this idea for a thread with your mention of obwarzanek krakowski which is close to bagel. It is
It is a braided ring-shaped bread that is boiled and sprinkled with salt and sesame or poppy seeds before being baked. It has a white, sweetish, moist and chewy crumb underneath a crunchy golden-brown crust.

It is sold in streets from special carts.

Read more on it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obwarzanek_krakowski

In 2006, the "obwarzanek krakowski" was entered on the List of traditional products from the Lesser Poland province in the category of bakery and confectionery products, and in 2010 on the list of protected products of the European Union.

My fave style is salt one. As a child, I found those big grains of rock salt attached to obwarzanek utterly fascinating.

I hated poppy seed ones. Yuk!

History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [28]

Lech Wałęsa announces

Here, Lech Wałęsa speaks to the Congress after the collapse of communism in Poland in 1989. He started his speech with My, Naród, translated as We, the People.
Though I prefer We, the Nation coz that`s what he really said in Polish. He meant the Polish nation who abolished the abominable system against all odds.

Life / Fast Food missing in Poland [47]

as funny as the Mexican restaurant I saw in England!

Aren`t there any Mexican nationals in England who can run such a premise???

Following your "reasoning", all Polish restaurants in the US are a hopeless joke.
And I can remember the so called "Polish" hot dog sold in the US chain. The problem is that a native Pole/Poless wouldn`t give it as food to their dogs. hahahaha buhahaha

Life / Wish to settle down, which country to choose - Poland or Russia? [117]

The butter crisis in Russia. Shops complain of soaring butter theft cases after its price went up 34% since January this year.
According to the independent Russian-language website The Moscow Times, stores are combating butter thefts in various ways. Advertisements have appeared in St. Petersburg supermarkets that "customers who want to buy butter are asked to contact sellers because the product has been removed from shelves." Other outlets are storing butter in refrigerators at checkouts, along with caviar and expensive alcohol. Some retailers have begun placing individual cubes of butter in special plastic containers.

While in Poland - butter is cheap and available.

Choose Poland for settling down.

Life / Fast Food missing in Poland [47]

Orlen filling stations offer hot dogs which are appreciated by customers.

Hot dogs also reign at Czech Orlens. Just like in our country, they are sold in a small version for 55 crowns or a large version for 75 CZK. Customers can choose from regular sausages, kabanos sausages, Mexican sausages and spicy Hungarian-style sausages. You can choose one of several sauces for your hot dog. However, there are fewer options than in our country. The friendly Czech cashier also made big eyes when we asked her if it was possible to buy a hot dog in a whole grain bun.
We never had anything like that here," she said.

Life / Life in Poland - ECONOMY [39]

Polish fuel company Orlen owns 3500 filling stations in other countries. Foreign customers are pleased with the quality and the service.

I hope that other Czechs will not take offense at my words, but I must admit that since our petrol stations were taken over by Poles, the service has improved significantly. After the renovation, this station is clean, fragrant, has delicious coffee and tasty hot dogs. The shops at the station, although small, are also much better equipped than before. To sum up: customer service has improved significantly since the Orlen logo appeared on the pylon.
