Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]

No.
The British ex pat's on here are not well liked by anyone but themselves.
They have been tagged with the nick of "The Brit's Bullies".
They are very annoying by trying to speak for the Polish people as they pretend to be Polish citizens themselves.
Everyone here has brought it to their attention yet they continue to post as authoritarians of Poland just because they reside in Poland.
They are very insulting and try to belittle anyone they disagree with by ganging up on them like a pack of dogs.
They think their farts smell like flowers and are way smarter then the Polish people or any other western country.
Their pompous annoyance here turns into daily immature name calling.
So my advise is to sit back and read the posts for a week or two and see if what I am telling you is not true.

Then decide if you have an even chance to make friends here because of your countryman's poor manners or joining
them as another Brit idiot.

By the New Years day the Christmas tree is a mere tinder box from being dried out.
A fire hazard to say the least.
I take ours outside and lean it against the birdfeeder so the small birds have a place to hide from the hawks and owls.
(At least it gives them a chance.)
Then in the spring I throw the dried up old thing on the burn pile.
What ever anyone's Christmas tradition may be is one thing, common sense safety is quite another.
You can continue to celebrate Christmas until Easter if you wish but a Christmas tree and lights are hardly required to do it.

Stand under the mis'tle - toe Atch.
I am sure someone around there would be happy to scratch your itch for you being it's the season of giving.
Just saying............

I read some place that a lot of people buy the live carp days before because of supply and demand.
They then take them home and keep them alive in the bath tub until execution time.
(I can't imagine taking a bath with a carp)
I personally would take the fish out of the water, lay him on a cutting board, take a very sharp knife and
slice his throat just behind the gills until the blood started to flow generously.
Being a cold blooded creature I doubt the fish would feel any pain and just gently go to sleep.
All is well that ends well. :-)

I found this on line:
In Poland, Celebrations begin on December 24 and usually end with Candle mass on February 2.
Customs rule the evening, so meat is not allowed, and the serving of the 12-course feast is usually followed by a gift exchange.
The meal usually begins with a Christmas Eve version of red borscht.
Its beet soup prepared differently from the everyday version and usually served with tiny dumplings, dried ceps, and fried onion.
Carp, herring, and pierogis are often on the menu, and the dinner is punctuated by makowiec, or poppy seed cake.
It's always included because the poppy seed stands for prosperity.
Peace on Earth

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]

The children are what make Christmas magic.
It seems as a child our Polish Christmas started with midnight mass and then home to open our presents which were mostly
new school cloths and maybe one toy.
Then Christmas day was glutening ourselves on all kinds of Polish foods.
The main course was a baked goose with baked mince pies, neither what us children liked.
The men sat around after the main meal and boozed it up watching the football game on t.v. while the children where to be seen but not heard without having a t.v. or computer.

The women cleaned up the mess from the meal while sipping Polish honey wine.
How it has changed as we now still attend church Christmas eve and open our presents however NO alcohol is necessary for our family.
We have a spiral ham and lemon pie which the children enjoy.
We draw family names a week before Christmas dinner and have to say something nice about that person at the dinner table before we eat. Can you imagine drawing uncle Harry's name :-]

That is followed by everyone helping clean up the mess with joyful chatter.
Dessert is served with everyone sharing their highlight of the last year.
Very family oriented fun as the excitement and magic comes from the children.
How times have changed.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]

Isn't that the way it has always worked Crow........NATO blows a country up and then goes back and rebuilds it for them.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]


Really or is it that YOU are claiming that I am an authority with your trolling. lol
Poland has the best of two worlds belonging to the EU and NATO.
They know what side their bread is buttered on.
They ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]


I was thinking the same with you.
You would be speaking German today if it wasn't for the American troops.
Poland can not afford to exit the EU even if it wanted to.


They will not be allowed to take just the cream of the EU without giving something back.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]


No you don't dough boy. You don't live here, have never been here or never will be.
Now you are claiming to be an authority on understanding America's attitude.
Have you heard about WW2 by any chance with American troops defending Poland ?


No doubt because they are a coalition of NATO.
But without the United States Germany wouldn't be able to defend Poland against Russia.
I rest my case.

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]


You are using the term "foreigner" as being foreign to Jesus Christ's inspired words ? A non believer ?
Then No, you wouldn't have to on the grounds of ignorance.


As a typical alcoholic would say, we need to get pickled to go to a football game, a wedding, a funeral, family gatherings, while on vacations, at the end of the day, sitting watching t.v. at home, while playing on the internet, while socializing with friends, holidays and now it is we have to be drinking to experience a church function.

Drinking has ruined more Christmas's then one could count.
It would be easier to put a hot poker up a wild cats *** then to try and convince an alcoholic of that however.

At our house there is always a fight of who gets the turkey carcass.
Buddy you want to make some good soup that's the ticket.
And with what little bone is left after that the dog gets his Christmas dinner.
The only thing from a turkey that does not go to use here at Christmas is the gobble.
Same with a ham bone. Oh my the split pea soup that makes.
You kids just don't know how us poor folk use to survive.
We use to go to the store with a dollar and get leg of lamb, potato's, loaf of bread, some pickles, a couple bottles of good wine and a few other things for Christmas dinner. (But that was before security camera's.)

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


I think the arm pit hair may play a major factor in it.
One nice trait is that Polish girls shave their arm pit hair while say the French girls braid theirs.

Life / Moving to Poland and not drinking vodka [27]


I think you should be your own man.
If you don't want to drink vodka then don't.
You don't have to apologize to anyone and soon your peers will not even give it a second thought that you are not throwing one back with them.

It might even be a blessing by setting an example for someone that shouldn't be drinking vodka themselves or may feel pressured like you and want to stop themselves from doing this.

Stand strong and be your own man. Alcoholics = Losers


Alcoholism is not a disease, it is a weakness.

Feedback / Is it Polish forum or foreign forum? [159]


Those two classy Poles that can't stomach the Brit expats that have invaded the PF with their "Brilliance".
Everyone seems to get along with the Polish posters here except the Brit Bullies.
The Polish posters get along with everyone except the Brit Bullies.
Nobody gets along with the Brit Bullies except other Brit Bullies.
See the pattern.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]



I have to agree with you on that one Ktos, she did nail it this time.
A lot of young guys just out of the nest expect their mates to take over where mama left off.
They are looking for a mother to pamper them not a soul mate as an equal.
Same with women just out of the nest, they are looking for a man to pamper their whims just like daddy did.
Problem is that most young guys just starting out don't make that kind of jingle to keep up with daddy.
There are three stages in marriage, first one is love, second one is lust, and the third one is money.
It's what keeps the world spinning.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Just got my last e-mil back from my Polish friends,
ALL of them.....100% of them said they would support such legislation but since delphie is an authority that I don't know anyone in Poland let's pretend that he is right even though he is not.


So you do have one ?


So you don't have one ?
Someone is lying.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


I don't accept your personal delegated work. You can do that yourself and being a teacher you should have a wealth of liberal resources to choose from. I would suppose it would be who you ask to get the answer that you wanted.

What I do know is that ALL my Polish pen pals have told me that they would own a gun if they could.
What I know about Poland is more then you know about Texas which would fit on a fleas back.


Exactly one of my points Pol3.

It's probably one of the things that got them elected as the Polish people aren't stupid as some of the ex pats that live in Poland who post on here as authority as what the Polish people want in gun ownership.

Oh, and before you do, "we told you so" about that too so when it does happen you can cry another pity party about being beneath contempt.

Food / Why Poles not like rice? [98]


Try to explain that to a German. Ukraine or 'the' Ukraine. lol
White rice is horrible for you as it is loaded with sugar.
I think in the old days it was territorial do to climate and growing conditions for availability which has been passed on to the next generation.

I have noticed that ALL my Polish relatives (from ancestry) in "America" do not eat rice and prefer spuds.
Here in the Caribbean countries (Jamaica) you can expect rice with almost every meal served.
Rice, red beans, coconut milk (to sweeten it) boiled with scallions, called rice & peas.
Then we ad either pepper sauce, curry, tomato, ketchup or whatever to spice it.

Life / Can someone tell me about the reason behind being gay in Poland being wrong [148]

It's not about being wrong, it's about flaunting and shoving it down people's throats that believe it is disgusting perversion.
People think it's wrong to fly a Natzi flag in Poland too.
People have every right to call something what it is in society.

News / School shooting in Sweden. Should Poland be worried about a copycat? [24]


I said thank you for helping me out to understand how a shooting could have possibly happened.
But then on the other hand if the teacher would have been afforded to own a gun to protect herself
from such an attack she may still be alive today.

Wait how could this have happened since guns are outlawed in Europe ?
Thanks W.B. for helping me out here.
Maybe they should outlaw knives now too.

Elderly hell, how about when you fell in the crap bowl in the bar and wallowed in secretion ?
Whatever possessed you to come on here and post to belittle the elderly Polish people ?
There is nothing more precious then to see a little old poor Polish villager smiling for the camera knowing what a hard life they
have endured yet still are smiling.
You are beneath contempt.

Life / Poor hygiene of people in public places in Poland [46]

Sarah, you have the same accent as one of our Scottish members who posts on here.
He hasn't posted all day under his real nick which I find kind of a coincidence.
Has it ever crossed your mind that these people that you are so quick to judge are doing the best they can with what they have.

Without "daddy's" pocketbook you would most likely be right there rubbing elbows with them.
HORRORS !

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


Why, the water levels will still be low this winter.
It's my understanding that many of the coal producing electrical plant's are old and will be in need of major maintenance with some even closing.

That along with low water levels could produce a shortage.
If so Poland electrical grid (again to my understanding) has no other E.U. countries to really import electricity from.
Hopefully you are right however what a better time to catch up with the 21st century.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]


This winter looks like Poland could have a serious shortage of electricity.
Maybe when people start freezing the whiners will speed things up.


The first nuclear energy plants were built over 60 years ago here in the United States.
I am sure by now fusion is reliable.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

With the coal generating plants getting old and out of repair (costly), the damage they do to the environment (acid rain) that pollutes the rest of the world, health issues they cause in Poland, the shortage of power Poland will experience this winter........it sure seems that Poland would come out of the dark ages (no pun intended) and get that nuclear plant up and running for an abundance of electricity, cheaper electricity, cleaner electricity and quit polluting the rest of the world.

The good paying jobs it would create to finish building it, run it, maintain it, plus sell the surplus to other countries grids would be a bonus also.
