Life / Amazon Alexa/Google Nest in Poland [10]


I have two Amazon firestic tv's A Amazon Echo and a Amazon show all linked to my UK amazon account.

All works well (In English) alexa can even do English to Polish translations.

If you wish to have English/American or whatever tv and radio available on firestick and echo, its best to configure them on a separate router which uses a smart vpn to pretend that all the devices are in the uk, us ,etc, I use the smartdns proxy service.

Don't think Alexa is available in Polish yet ,might be wrong

Well to be fair when we are talking about "English teacher functioning alcoholics" they are either dead or off walking the dog at the moment, but if we could make it Polish/English we would drag in far more candidates to talk about , especially when it comes to "Superiority complex" would you not agree Pawian?.

Life / What the idea of a black person is to Polish people? [14]

Black people in Poland are accepted and integrate well into society , but there are far left elements here that will try and put a negative spin on relations, often citing a very small minority of right wing football hooligans.

See for yourselves .

Language / What were the first Polish words and phrases you have learned? [63]


My parents had to work double shifts in menial / manual jobs as they did not speak English very well. my grandmother took care of me and taught me to speak Polish until the age of five years old, after which I went to normal English school.

My parents were exiled in the UK, never once id they think that Poland could be free from parasitic Communist rule.

Don't forget mum was 5 years old when she was freed from Siberia and exiled to Africa, My dad was 14 when he left Siberia and joined the Polish II corps in Egypt.

Mum and dad had little or no Polish education themselves.

Mum and dad wanted me to concentrate on my English studies so that I would be successful in my host country, I did not have much contact with other Polish kids and there was no Polish school available to me.

The idea of ever being able to return to Poland seemed impossible during those dark times of the iron curtain, don't forget I was out of school and busy working in the mid 70's and commie dogs were still in charge.

I hope that I am not off topic , I am trying to explain why there is so many things Polish words phrase ,that some of us have not learned due to circumstance out of our control, and how it is so easy for some smart arse to criticise those who who did not have the same opportunities to learn Polish as they did.

History / Do you regard the Polish Communist Partizans as heroes? [36]


Sadly mate if you come and live here you will come across them, I do from time to time , so far they have shut their gobs once they see what side of the fence I sit on (No balls), It amazes me, where in hell do these soviet apologist come from , are they born deficient or is it breeding from their old soviet conspiring parents / grandparents.

I see many passionate and committed young poles who want a better future for Poland, my local councilor is a young hardworking lad who works hard for improvements to our community, whilst having a self employed status job which involves long hours and no real long term security'

I see a great future. The educated youth will effect change in Poland for the better.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

Things have changed recently.

Law and Justice has always had a patch of old people's party for old people. However, this has changed significantly since the middle of last year. Nowhere else in politics do young people have the chance to make such a fast and spectacular career.

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [401]


No it doesn't, there was a huge dark forest that used to keep imperialist Germany away from Poland, there was never any kind of integration between the Poles or Germany , well apart from their plan of exterminating us Untermenche as they used to call us.

You only say this because you do not agree with his point of view , you know precious little about him , and non of you have a clue where he lives, but I can assure you he is proper Polish, he doubts my credentials which is fantastic'

BUT on topic, whatever happens PIS will keep power in Poland and probably don't care about who's who in Europe, lets face it donald tried but failed to damage his home country whilst holding one of the highest positions possible within the EU.
