Off-Topic / Things you can't get used to in your new country [95]


Back in the day, there was no health and safety, so anyone could do their own wiring, and this lead to many strange (and dangerous) circuits. New regulations were brought in about 15 years ago to stop this, and now if you do some wiring, you need to get a qualified electrician to inspect it, and issue a certificate to proved it was checked.

It is dangerous in the kitchen if you touch a socket with wet hands. The main ring circuit is protected by a RCB, which means you could get a shock, but it probably wouldn't kill you. The only socket allowed in a UK bathroom is a shaver socket with a two prong connection (there are no switches to turn it on or off), and is at half the voltage compared to the kitchen, it is also possible to buy an adaptor to charge a toothbrush, which is safe. You will also notice that the light switches in a bathroom are a pull cord type as well, this is to stop people with wet bodies touching anything electrical.

Feedback / "Ignore" option for certain posters [69]


If you are going back to 4 years ago, then yes you were. However, that suspension was given by the owner of this site and not by me.

Feedback / "Ignore" option for certain posters [69]


A couple of points. First, I haven't suspended you for not using your ignore function, and there would plenty of other reasons to do so than that. I'm guessing you could be in the early stages of Dementia, or had a little too much moonshine. There has been no warnings on your profile, to suggest 'you had a time-out', nor has there been a red sad emoji next to your username in this last couple of days.

Next, you have been listening to the self-proclaimed 'King of the internet' Cargo pants, who nearly always get things wrong. I wouldn't mind betting that I'm 25 kilos lighter than both of you, judging by your photos posted on these forums. I also don't have diabetes, which is another false piece of information posted by the Indian "troll king" of the internet. Have a nice day, slim Jim. :-)

What exactly do you mean by your title, "What's next from Chopin's Warsaw?"

Life / Polish Music. [303]

The rules apply to everyone. It is our American members that are posting most of the off topic posts on the main threads, hence they receive the most warnings. Simple maths!

Edited.. Please try to keep this thread for Polish music, thanks.

Life / Polish Music. [303]

Don't mistake canned/censored with off topic posts. On the main threads, posts have to be on topic with the subject of the thread. Posts that are off topic will be removed to random chat, and furthermore, posts that reply to off topic posts (or quote off topic posts) will also be removed. If members don't want to see their posts removed, it is up to them to follow the forums rules.

Other forums could be playing a form of Russian roulette, and like to gamble. They might not get a complaint about the videos for years, and then one day someone takes offence, and drags them through the courtrooms. They could stand to lose a lot of money.

Besides, the videos on here are not deleted. It should not be a big issue to add www. to the link, open a new page and paste it into the address bar. It may also be a good idea to give a short description of the video when you post one, then other posters will know if it will be of interest to them.

FB are part of "Big Tech" and can do whatever they want, as money is no problem to them. To others, it is illegal to share anything that you didn't create without the permission of the owner.

Don't take my word for it, google it yourself.

UK, Ireland / Boris Johnson - is the new British PM a popular figure in Poland? [150]

She might surprise you, only been in the post 24hrs, at least give her until the end of the week.:) She gave Starmer a good slapping at PMQT today, I don't think she'll be an easy push over.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [337]


This forum is for people, new and old, to read and find out all things about Poland. How do you think it would look for new people, if every time they come here all they see is posters calling each other derogatory names? They probably wouldn't post anything or stay around for long.


Off course, you are correct, it's not. Where does one draw the line? Soon it would turn to racism and hate speech. Like you said, it can't be a free for all, or the forums would look quite a bit like Stormfront. This site has also been more tolerant with members than most sites.

Food / Polish Salted Butter [68]


Seems about the going price at the moment. I normally buy Kerrygold in ASDA for £2 per 250g. Not a big fan of salted butter, but Kerrygold (in my store anyway) has only 1.8g per 100g, so basically next to nothing. I don't think it's too expensive compared to some margarines, and others butters in those plastic tubs.

UK, Ireland / Boris Johnson - is the new British PM a popular figure in Poland? [150]


I'm not happy about Boris being stabbed in the back, (I thought he was OK) nor am I happy with the final two 'wanna be' PM's, but there is no way Starmer should be allowed to run the country. We will just have to wait and see if the new PM will make a difference in the next two years.

Exactly, but politicians, and many others cannot.

In basic form, it is 'extreme PC', closely related to virtue signalling


As above, many people like myself, haven't watched professional football for 2 seasons because of this.

What is a woman?, is a question that has a simple answer, and has been used for millennia. I'm afraid Starmer has shot himself in the foot.

UK, Ireland / Boris Johnson - is the new British PM a popular figure in Poland? [150]


Sorry jon, but Starmer is too woke. Working people won't forget how he took the knee for BLM, and how he tied himself up in knots when asked "what is a woman"? He is also on record as saying 'women can have a penis', and 'it's wrong to say that only women have a cervix'.

By trying to please a very small percentage, he has lost many votes from biological women, who account for half the population of the UK.

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]


It could have been an interesting thread, even if it is an off topic thread. It simply not worth my time to go through 17 pages deleting posts at the moment. I might find time in the near future, but I fear it will become more trashed as days go by.

It wouldn't take much to be better than Corbyn.

Forget about the latest polls, they have no chance of getting in with Starmer as their leader.

To be fair, you also trashed this thread yourself many pages ago, which is why it couldn't be cleaned up. Your Indian friend also didn't help your cause. It seems you want one rule for you, and a different one for others.

Most times in the EPL, the transfer fee is paid in instalments over several years. The player involved usually gets to pocket 10%, and his agent also gets a percentage. Getting a player on a free transfer might seem a bargain, but his wage demands will be high, unless he is getting near to the end of his career.

Ask one of your friends to explain to you, what an off topic thread is, and what an off topic post is. BTW as you seem to be using two usernames, which is against the forums rules, please let me know which username you want me to delete.

Lazarus, reading back over your posts, it seems you only post messages to belittle and bait. Is this your only purpose for joining PF? How about you start to post something about Poland for a change, and don't give everyone the impression that you are only here as a Troll?

Surely you must have something to say that's Polish related. What your opinion on the invasion of Ukraine, and the aid Poland is giving them, for example?

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [586]


Without the virtue signalling and sympathy votes, the winning song would be near the bottom of the poll in a normal year. Such a dreadful piece of "music" which, I hope never to hear again. Sorry if this offends some people, but I think there were better songs.
