Alien!!! You are also in the blue mood like dozen other posters today??? I thought you were fekking tougher than that! Come on, I have to borrow the fourth shoulder for myself from Torq to offer you for crying on.


A great idea! But I wouldn`t count on it. Hey, don`t consider me a blues infected poster now. I only mean that most posters aren`t skilled in posting photos.

I have a better idea. When you post sth, I will comment on it with my own associations. Just like with Religa photo.

Yes, she is your boss. According to the Polish saying: the man is the head of the family while the woman is the neck who directs the head.

Excellent idea. I haven`t posted yet coz you are doing a great job yourself.

But one commentary of yours brought back some memories in me:


The famous photo of prof. Zbigniew Religa was taken by James L. Stanfield, a National Geographic photographer in 1987, in a clinic in Zabrze. He captured an extraordinary moment just after a dozen or so hours of heart transplant surgery.

OUT OF PLACE, OUT OF TIME.

Life / Polish women who made amazing careers against patriarchal society [128]

The first example of a Polish female who stood up against the patriarchal society is Nawojka from 15th century.

Nawojka - a semi-legendary figure from the 15th century, considered to be the first Polish student and teacher.

In 1414, fifteen-year-old Jakub (or Andrzej, this version is also available) began his studies at the University of Krakow . In fact, it was Nawojka disguised as a boy, according to legend, the daughter of the mayor of Dobrzyń nad Wisłą or - according to other sources - the daughter of the rector of the Gniezno parish school .

She learned to read and write in Polish and Latin at home. She was prevented from continuing her education by the customs of the time prohibiting the admission of women as uni students. Seeing no other option, Nawojka resorted to trickery. When in 1417, after three years of studies, she was preparing to take her final bachelor's exams , she was exposed by a male student. According to another version, Nawojka fell ill and the doctor who examined her revealed the hoax. There is also a version that Nawojka was exposed while pouring water during Wet Monday .

Nawojka was brought before a bishop's court . She avoided the stake thanks to the excellent certificates of science and morality given by her professors. Immediately afterwards, she entered the convent, where she ran a novitiate school . Years later, she became the abbess of the monastery.

PS. The first female dormitory of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, established in 1929, and the street (an extension of Czarnowiejska Street ) are named after Nawojka .

Stop being so cruel to people. Your failures in personal life aren`t a good excuse enough to destroy other people`s dreams.

Cheer up, life is beautiful. Believe me.


No, you could expect such events under PIS. When the bolsheviks are gone, the churches will stay as they are. After PiS rule, though, they will remain empty and will be sold out to become shopping or community centres. You can thank those gangsters and the black mafia for leading to that situation.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

Amiga, do you remember what you wrote here in 2019, 28 August ???

Just heard on the radio that PiS goverment is introducing 3000 new public transport routes over the next six months, subsidised, to give many villages and rural areas , like the one Pawian lives in, a bus service for the first time, after brutal rationalisation from the former PO traitors. Good news for rural areas and villages. Old babcias will be able to hospital in the nearby town. Another win for poland and the polish people,

Do you remember what I replied?
This:

That`s BS, they only promised it but won`t really make it happen. Don`t fall for PiS` tricks - it is pure politics to win the elections. They will create one route or two of state bus transport to show on PiS TV and that will be all.

Can you guess who was right, as usual???? hahahaha

Yes, the latest statistics show that the length of public transport routes in the countryside got shorter under PIS, not longer.

Thank you , PiS gangsters, for your wonderful promises! Life seemed so much easier and better when we were fed them! hahahaha

You are embittered coz nationalists got only 7% and are meaningless in the new Parliament. :):):) First deal with the mess in your own ranks, then try to think how you can serve Poland better. Coz now, you are completely useless and even harmful when you damage good extinguishers. hahahahaha

Yes, I had read them before, the very hour those articles appeared. And they corroborate exactly what I said a few posts ago:

Some experts say they are, others say they aren`t.

E.g.,
Haste is not always a good advisor - said Ryszard Piotrowski, professor at the University of Warsaw. According to the lawyer, decisions regarding changes in public media raise some doubts. . Tomasz Siemiątkowski, professor at the Warsaw School of Economics.has a different opinion - The Minister of Culture and National Heritage had the right to do so without question - he said in an interview with TVN24.

You have probably have guessed by now whose opinion I prefer to stick to. :):):)

That was still the legal Tribunal in 2016. Later on PiS added their 3 illegals to it.
Cheer up coz I see you are feeling down again. Life is beautiful.

The PiS swamp needs radical drying. Don`t bother about the methods, just check the results - watch the new evening news tonight. Although still basic technologically, it offers the message which Poles have been longing for for 8 years.

Methods vs effects comparison is the best way to deal with such personal doubts.


No, it doesn`t. Cheer up before Christmas - Poland is beautiful again. :):):)

Now that she is gone, taking care of the balance in nature, I spent most of yesterday`s and Thursday`s classes using Christmas songs and carols for educational purposes. I haven`t done it for a few years to spare me trouble because to me doing songs with Polish students is more tiring than doing regular class.

History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]


The elections were attended by 52 percent entitled to vote, took place on September 19, 1993 and brought unquestionable success to the groups originating from the previous system. The largest number of votes was obtained by SLD (20.4%), followed by PSL (15.4%), UD (10.6%), UP (7.3%), KPN (5.8%) , BBWR (5.4%). The remaining parties and coalitions did not manage to overcome the electoral threshold, which meant that there were no candidates in the Sejm for whom a total of over 34 percent cast their votes.

These election results were not a big surprise; the polls showed that the majority of the population (about 2/3) assessed the economic situation poorly, and more than half believed that their situation was getting worse. It is therefore not surprising that a large part of voters decided to choose a party that had not participated in power after 1989 and was considered to have a program and competent politicians; At the same time, a phenomenon known as "short memory" emerged - due to the passage of time and the negative aspects of the current situation, for which the Solidarity camp governments were blamed, the period before 1989 was relatively better and better assessed, and therefore SLD was less and less burdened by the events associated with this period. responsibility.

So, the financial fraud that the TV company bosses are suspected of has been dealt with by dissolving the old board and appointing a new one. Very simple.


If there was anything illegal in their activities, I mean the new gov, they wouldn`t be doing it at all. Do you really think they would be so crazy? No, they had surely consulted an army of lawyers and constitution experts before taking such steps.

One example which comes to my mind is connected with this thread. It was a chuckle of history that many Poles rejected the initial capitalist shock and voted for the left parties aka former communists in the coming elections through 1990s. In 1993 repainted communists won the national and in 1995 the presidential elections. Only a few years after abolishing communism! That was a shame but clearly shows the disappointment with the capitalist transformation.

Former communists won over 20% votes and created the gov with the peasant party. Solidarity parties had more voters but were conflicted with each other and in political disarray.

The photo which symbolizes the chuckle of history - the infamous spokesman of the communist gov from the most tragic years of the martial law is rejoicing his buddies` victory:

Mongrel, my cards are purely Polish compared to yours. hahahaha


Some experts say they are, others say they don`t. Firstly, there was the proclamation of the Parliament which demands to solve the situation. . And the State Treasury which owns state media companies has to protect its interests when fraud or embezzlement is suspected. NIK blew the whistle about financial abnormalities in TV in October already, even before the elections. It is natural for the gov to deal with the swampy situation.

The Supreme Audit Office found a violation of the principles of legality, reliability, purposefulness or economy in the expenses of Telewizja Polska SA. The scale of the irregularities, their financial dimension, as well as their nature, which indicates that such actions may be repeated, does not allow the Supreme Audit Office to issue a positive assessment of the state station in the scope covered by the inspection. TVP SA's failure to comply with the principles of spending money is even more important because it is financed mainly from public funds. In 2021-2022, their share in the station's sales revenues was over 60%.
