History / Poland's borders throughout history [47]


This, Ron, is key to it.

History / Poland's borders throughout history [47]


This is correct. There's a precise legal definition in international law.

In WW2, Poland was occupied. Particularly brutally.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [295]

This one's a bit fishy...

History / Archaeology in Poland [5]



They should have been locked up for a long time because of that.

And with the various discoveries at Şroda Şląska, the authorities should have cordoned off the whole area with archaeologists present 24/7.

At least it was mended, however you do wonder how many pieces were taken from the area that year, never to be seen again.

News / War propaganda - are we really THAT retarded? [28]


I'd say that there haven't been many new ones since the 80s or early 90s. By the 90s it had started to decline, largely as the new technology was introduced and as it was around a generation in to seeming a glamorous job.

Before, there were apprenticeships, skills etc. Now rich kids do internships for free and so much content is just sourced online.


There never has been, unless you mean neutral reportage like share prices or crime and court reports. Comment and editorials aren't meant to be objective.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [43]


Worth remembering that President Zelensky was in the right then, whereas Trup and Vance were in the wrong.

The President did well and has obviously figured out how to deal with Trup.

They aren't actually women's skirts.


In countries where trousers are rarely worn, the traditional dress looks both right and entirely normal for that environment.

Trousers are a slightly daft idea anyway, wrapping each leg in a fabric tube.

Trup is by far the worst they've had in living memory and doesn't even try to hide that.

He should have stayed on Epstein Island.

Life / Polish authors, books & literature. [125]


Everyone should read that.

An underrated masterpiece.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [43]


Sadly yes.

They botched Vietnam (which, thank God, Harold Wilson kept us out of, even at the cost of Nixon dumping currency reserves and trashing Sterling), they botched Iraq (and sucked both the U.K. and Poland into that debacle, killing some of our people in "friendly fire" incidents due to the US army's poor standards of training), botched Afghanistan at the cost of many lives and are now making a complete mess of their attempts to end the invasion of Ukraine, a country whose borders they promised to protect.


It's hard to believe that the orange person is so bizarrely incompetent. His rambling speeches suggest declining and declined mental capacity and his alleged aim of getting a Nobel Peace Prize is laughable.

Somebody would have to have very low standards to allow a slimeball like Trup taste theirs.

Off-Topic / The agreement in Alaska between the US and Russia. [43]


What 'agreement'?

They had a talk there with only one of the two parties present and nothing was achieved.

It's a gem.


An important building of its period. There are several in Kato.

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]


Yes. The malign influence of r*SSia vanished and instead of being the wrong side of a divide, the curtain fell and PL was again a crossroads.

All countries are prisoners of geography.


The facts are that Japan has declined (though quality of life is far higher than in China( and Poland is now in the boom phase of boom and bust.


Perhaps worse off than now..

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]


In part because of the decline of Japan.

The growth in Poland is due to the one factor that has both blessed and cursed it; geography.

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]


Or the absolute poverty and hopelessness of living under capitalism, especially when economies contract, the workers lose everything and the 'investors' lose only their initial investment at most.

Food / Methods of cooking Klopsiki? [11]


I see Dziugas cheese, a good alternative to Parmesan, used a lot in restaurants in Warsaw now.

With klopsiki (I did some last week) grated cheddar is a better option. Not traditional either (like grated onion, used in Ukraine but not Poland) however both improve them.

Travel / Holidays in Poland, is it still worth coming here? [22]


We spent our summer holiday this year in Scarborough. There were more than 5 people on the beach...

About Poland, Krakow has been spoilt by over tourism, however Torun and Lublin are very worth a visit.

Yes, events in other countries haven't made Poland less safe.
