Poland is making German compensation for WWII a major election point.

Not really. There are far more important issues. :):):)

Celebrities use the elections to show off new outfits:

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Whole world is observing the elections in Poland waiting for results.

Poland Is Voting In a 'Pivotal' Election:
After a brutal campaign, the polarized nation headed to the polls on Sunday in a parliamentary election that will reverberate well beyond its borders.


I visited another polling station coz I drove my elderly relative to one. We ran into a queue again. I saw a lot of young people. Practically, half of the queue was between 20 and 40 years old. Amasing!

Ziemowit, don`t call her like that. She isn`t. We have to support each other coz we have similar views on Poland, our neighbours and our place in Europe.

It is the first time in the history of my voting that I have had to wait in the queue for over 30 minutes. The queue was so long it reached the lobby in the school where the ballot station is located. Simply amasing!

We are going to have a record turnout.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

I didn't either, but right now I'm thinking about not taking part in the referendum at all.

Hmm, previously I thought to do as you intend but now it occured to me I will accept the referendum paper and make my choices all against PiS expectations. Later I will see if my vote played a role. :):):)

because most of those questions are a joke.

Exactly. That is why I will treat it as a joke. :):):)

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [74]

I hate Classical music...it always makes me cry when I hear how awful it is...

Now you speak like a very primitive creature, proving you are a British Polish mongrel who refuses to learn and adopt not only Polish culture but also universal artistry. Shame on you.

Chopin`s heart is in Holy Cross Church in Warsaw:

Life / Will the price of petrol/diesel reach 7 Zlotys in 2011 [58]

Now I still have 25 litres of that old supply and 35 of a new purchase

It seems I needn`t have stored it. Fuel is still available, no more shortages.

PIS is calling for moderation in fuel purchasing.

so that they can store more, a little precaution

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]

Why is the top of your head shining?

One can go bald at 30s, remember. I did due to extreme amount of sex in my life. It is scientifically proven that when you have a rich sexual life,. you go bald. Simple.

While we know you have kept all your hair. Grey, but all. Poor you...... :(:(:(:

Food / Kefir drink in Poland [79]

In summer in Poland I mix kifir with ice and mango pulp,

Interesting. We often buy mangoes. I must try it out. :):)
I won`t add ice, though, coz it dilutes the flavour. Isn`t it enough to put the drink in the fridge or freezer for a while???

s soon as one bottle is finished, magically a new one appears:)

And you got drunk and made a mess all over the place. Those Americans....

but good for wedding as then you can drink

Yes, there was some drinking, too but people kept it at moderate level and nobody made a fool of themselves. It was more like relishing good alcohol, in fact.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

fun times...

Yes, the music of our youth. :):):) Boney M and ABBA ruled. We also liked Goombay Dance Band who were dark skinned, too. I still remember how I stole my elder sister`s comfortable soft mocassin shoes and went to a disco in our primary school.

Forest Opera which is claimed to be a magical place.

It is indeed located in the woods.

They were advised by communist officials not to sing their famous Russian themed Rasputin song

Why were commies so gentle with Boney M? Advising and requesting instead of banning and expelling straight away??? Two reasons - Boney M was an acclaimed group in late 1970s, at the peak of their fame. Secondly, they were dark skinned. Commies officially treated people of colour with respect. That is why the group wasn`t punished for singing Rasputin - their music was freely played in all discos in Poland for a few more years.

scandals, political ones.

Again Boney M in 1979. They were advised by communist officials not to sing their famous Russian themed Rasputin song because Polish commies considered it an attack on Polish Soviet relations. But Boney M did sing it. In result, the TV broadcast of their performance was delayed for one day and the controversial song was cut out. Amazingly, the commie radio broadcast the concert in full. Those commies could be quite messy at times. :):):)

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Polish heart

Which was placed in the Polish church in the capital of Poland. I saw it with my own eyes.

he was as Pawian calls me...a mongrel.

No, Chopin wasn`t a mongrel as I called you. I did it to draw everybody`s attention to your culture. More exactly, your total lack of culture. Firstly, you can`t speak Polish and that is the fault of both your uncaring parents and you coz you refused to learn as a child when you were raised in the sewer system of London. Today you hang around Polish forums but you still refuse to acquire Polish culture and the style of thinking of a decent Pole. Shame on you.

Secondly, your cultural contribution to this forum is close to zero. You come here only to vent your frustrations and abuse other posters - 90% of your posts are insults and slurs. Shame on you again.

That is why I called you a British Polish mongrel - for a good reason. Chopin wasn`t a mongrel coz he spoke both Polish and French, was generally a decent person and his contribution to the world`s artistic heritage will remain great forever.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

The main artistic event in communist Poland was the Sopot Festival where Polish and foreign singers/bands sang in their native languages or in Polish only on the Polish Day. The event took place in the Forest Opera which is claimed to be a magical place.

The festival witnessed the rise or fall of some performers. It also was a place of various scandals, related to social conventions, sex or political ones.

Check this Boney M band performance singing Daddly Cool in 1979. The vocalist starts a semi-strip tease act in the middle of the song, going topless. The audience were thrilled. hahahaha buhahahaha

However, more and more people claim it is an outdated custom which should be abolished

Possible but the kefir which was originally creamy has also a different taste. It is less fizzy/effervescent than the thinner one.
