So let's face tariffs

You think we are going to let a dickhead like that tell us what to do ?

No I didn't ! I was drinking all day.

Maybe need to go check my portfolio

Classifieds / Project Polska: Human powered aircraft. Looking for partners [20]

I'm sure you won't go short of volunteers willing to listen to your ideas on a full time basis, especially if there is free calculus thrown in

Because God moves in mysterious ways

Off-Topic / A VERY CHRISTMASSY FORUM - IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS THREADS [156]

To get us back on track.

What do people think of the Christmas markets that are appearing in all Polish towns ? Overpriced, sugary rip offs of Hermany OR a pleasant place to take the kids and tescowie for an hour ?

I'm somewhere in between - they are fine in the week, horrible at weekend. If I was a young man I think it would be great for a date - girls love Christmas

Law / How do I verify a Polish company's existence? [249]

You need the REGON number or the KRS number and then you can request a report for about 100 zloty.

There are several companies called Megaplon, some active and some closed

That address doesn't look right. There is no x in Polish place names. There is a Polish post code 92-016 in Lodz, hut it is also the postcode of Nanterre, a tough suburb of Paris, and a village in Sicily.

He hasn't got nukes

He never will have

Isn't it about time to sweep all these senile KGB ******** into the toilet

Love / I am very much confused about My Polish Gf - Long distance relationship [12]

Strzelec has been banned

Travel / Road traffic - Emergency lane use [23]

Some foods have had VAT exemptions in the last - for example baby food

If you don't like the laws about the bus lane then write to your posel or burmistrz. It is a sensible incentive especially given the high levels of smog in some Polish towns.

Have one hybrid and one gas model but thinking of going electric when I replace my car next year.

Life / Fast Food missing in Poland [48]

Haven't seen any of those yet - want to try Ethiopian, one of the few things I never ate

Is a great Mexican taco place just off HP2, at the north end. Can't remember the name. But I know they will never rival the excellent mex food in the US

In fact I think it's sometimes better in American than it is in in Mexico

Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [18]

I think Amiga has been testing some of that stuff tonight

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [229]

I am very sorry to hear that Crow - condolences to the people of the fine town of Novi Sad.

Travel / Looking for a new long-term stay in Poland [18]

Maybe between Toruń and wloclawek ? Loads of forest, two interesting towns and a reasonable connection to Warsaw.

Or the area about 100km North of Warsaw - starting at Ciechanow and up to dzialdowo and Ilawa. Very forested, new highway and fast train to Warsaw and Gdańsk

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

In Poland ? Very few, abortion is illegal in virtually all circumstances. You don't know that?

Travel / Looking for a new long-term stay in Poland [18]

Maybe in the West of Poland in Gorzow, Zielona Gora area ?

Lots of forests, will be gyms and modern shops and within reach of Berlin or Poznan. Plus cheap to live.

It's not just Karens who want your dog on a leash - its also to protect wildlife

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

They did in Poland and it was circa 1000 people under 50 with no pre- existing conditions.

Tbf since vaccination it is less than 100 I think.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

You forgot to mention seat belts, always the ne plus ultra argument for the nanny statists

For a healthy person under 40 the risks of a car accident were far higher than the risks from covid.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

In Poland people were fired e.g in pharmacies for not being vaccinated. You can Google that. Isolated cases maybe but still raise significant ethical issues, especially for under 40s with tiny risks

Might be sensible, but don't pretend it never happened

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]

The one I visited was an old costa and they just painted the interior black. Extremely un inviting.

There is a gap in the market for someone that can do coffee fast and cheap

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [743]

That would mean you have a 1.8 million bucks holding of Tesla ?

Impressive stuff, life is good under Biden !

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]

I always assumed they were Polish - but now see they are in Kazakhstan, Armenia and probably some other parts of the former UNNR.

I tried them because I think the awful Sbux and Costa need competition, but Cofix were just as bad. In fact the cake I bought there is one of the worst things I ever ate.

Was bad luck to enter in 2020 - with lockdown and then war.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

There have been millions of cases of covid in Poland despite vaccination. I also had twice since my third vaccine.

News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [748]

When you are in Europe next why not stop off at the Bois de Boulogne or Frankfurt's red light district ? You could finally satisfy that itch about transexuals for around 100 euro, and stop banging on about the subject ?

Work / What Jobs Pay At Least 25,000/per month in Poland [5]

What you are quoting - 72k Euro per year isn't just high for Poland, but for Europe in general. The average salary in both Paris and London is circa 55k euro.

American salaries have pulled away considerably from European salaries in the last 10 years. Lots of reasons for that but you would be lucky to get a 25k zloty salary in Warsaw working for someone else. As GK says above you are best off in an in demand tradesmen's job, though of course that is hard work

Law / Polish inheritance rules with regards to property that was transferred before death [7]

Tax would be payable at the moment of transfer - podatek na darowizna.

Amount depends how close a relative they are - it is between 5 and 20 percent.

There are exemptions and loopholes but see a lawyer. Or just use google for starters.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [743]

What ? 5.75%.

Surely you mean 0.575 percent ?

Life / West-East life in Poland? [45]

Can't agree with you - arriving at Lichtenberg late at night with baggage is tiresome on public transport and expensive in a cab. A guaranteed bad start to the trip.

If the train got me to the town Centre, on time then I would use it. But it's got a case of long covid.

Life / West-East life in Poland? [45]

The train has been very dodgy for a few years since about 2019 - often late, sometimes stopping far from central Berlin. Seems to be getting better now though.

Life / West-East life in Poland? [45]

Yes - the full stretch from Konin to Slubice is now about 130 zloty. They put the price up every 3 months

Needs a monopoly investigation but Uokik spend all their time arguing with Biedronka and Lidl
