Yes! One should not be naive in expecting anyone's promises to be fulfilled.

The full proverb/saying goes:
wait, papa, for the summer until the mare is eaten by wolves

Here is an illustration:

Electricity connection (to a house in the countryside or underdeveloped suburbs)

Slovakia has chosen a pro Russian party to lead the country.

I wonder to what extent Slovakians were influenced in their voting by Ukrainian official complaint to the WTO about the ban on free import of Ukr grain into Slovakia.

Sorry, no.
I am thinking of a hint to help you but nothing comes to my mind. Amasing! This saying is strange.

You are a hopeless pessimist

Hmm, who knows? You can be right. That is why I need to joke and pull legs all the time to prevent that pessimism from taking control of me. :):):)

all nihilistic punk/

Very good music. I prefer heavy metal but hardcore post punk which is fast, energetic and still melodic is the runner- up in my musical preferences.

USA, Canada / "You have tornadoes in this country, we have graveyards" - What is meant by this statement? [14]

I've never heard any Pole making such

It reminds me of the saying: Polish history is marked with crosses, meaning the ones on graves.

The comment on the tornadoes means that natural disasters which regularly afflict the USA are a banality compared to what happened to and in Poland through centuries. E,.g, death camps were located by Germans in Poland, not the USA.

"tushka"

English tushka is written tuszka in Polish. Check it out coz it refers to food indeed but I am afraid it has nothing to do with cakes. :):):)

I am afraid this shortened version wouldn`t work on readers - they wouldn`t know what it means. After all, custom plates are procured by drivers to impress other drivers and passers-by in streets. PWIAN would be wasted on them. :):):)

Can`t the black mafia in Vatican see it themselves that they are losing believers due to their priests` excesses of various kinds, the worst of them of pedo nature??? If priests could officially have partners, there would be less perversion among them.

I can be a hopeless pessimist or an incorrigible optimist depending on the mood. :):):) hahaha

Which one am I before the coming elections? Optimist, of course. :):):)

Here is Kukiz and his band`s song with a very positive message. Check it out coz music is great as usual - energetic melodic post punk.



Sometimes there is sun
Sometimes there is rain
Sometimes there is darkness
Sometimes there is poetry

Everything changes alternately
Sometimes it is OK and sometimes it is not
The sun rises and sets
Always every other day
It will be fine if you want it
If you only want it

Sometimes there is love
Sometimes there is not
Sometimes it is OK
Sometimes it is not

Alien, I can`t recognise you. You have become very partisan recently. You openly critisize and reject rightists like PiS or Konfederacja. You were always so unengaged before. What happened??? :):):):

Plates are getting funnier each month.

Today I spotted PAJAK which means SPIDER. And KOCUR which means TOMCAT.
While yesterday it was KNIFE (in English).

I must think about my custom ones. Remember, no more than 5 letters.

Here are some self suggestions:

CHIMP.
GORYL.

Nationalist Konfederacja are losing in the polls. They claim it is young women who first supported them and then gave up due to massive indoctrination on the net led by Tusk and company. hahahaha Amasing!

Mr Donald Tusk promised to appear in PiS` state TV debate on Monday. PiS Kaczyński rejected the invitation although the confrontation would take place on his territory as PIS has owned the state TV for 8 years.

Is Kaczyński Duck or Chicken?????? hahahahaha

Don`t be silly. PiS won`t care about any Americans. :):)

When the stake is losing power, losing lucrative positions in state companies, losing TV and other state media, simply losing everything that PIS gangsters have gained over the years, legally and illegally, they will do everything to overthrow the results. They can falsely claim the voting was rigged and nobody will stop them, even the Goddess herself.

Only the angry mob will be able to deal with them.

I can`t wait to see Warsaw, my fave city, again. hahahahaha

Good move coz Ukrainians realised fueling that conflict is primarily harmful to them, not Poland under PIS.

How? it's not possible, western standards, paper balots and Państwowa Komisja Wyborcza is independent, all parties are allowed observers at every counting booth.

Yes, correct, all of this works fine. And 1 day after the elections PiS proclaims everything was rigged by Tusk and company and they won`t accept the results.

PiS know that when they lose power, they will have to answer for all illegal acts they have committed during their rule. Some of them will end up in prison. So, they will catch at a razor to avoid such a gloomy end.
