It's torturous!

Here's another:

News / PiS candidates are losing positions in EU Parliament. Will they keep power in Poland? [358]


You have the nerve to tell people to stay on topic when you're dragging this thread completely off-topic.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Strangely enough, I find that one easy.

I find this one hard too:

Przeleciały trzy pstre przepiórzyce przez trzy pstre kamienice.

Language / Interesting Polish tongue twister. [69]


I don't have a problem with pronouncing szcz, but in that tongue twister I'm tripping over these 3 words, szczypcach strzęp szczawiu.


Odd turn of phrase!


Not that unusual I would think.

Someone is just getting by, lacking the means to survive? To have nothing in reserve?

Language / Interesting Polish tongue twister. [69]


Perhaps we should ask our Polish members how hard it is for them to pronounce that tongue twister :):):)

I get what you're saying but if that's the case I'm surprised the music thread wasn't moved either.

Anyway, I'll post a couple of tunes:

Beata Kozidrak x Kamil Bednarek - Biegiem



Haven't heard this for a few years now:

I know the grave is that of Jan Bytnar of the scout "Zośka" Battalion at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw. The graves of those members of that battalion of the Polish Home Army had the birch crosses.


They look like the sort of articles that scouts would wear. Berets or caps and some type of neck tie or scarf.

News / Polish coal will be back [141]


70% do not live in rural areas. That would be 40%. You're forgetting that people live in towns as well as cities.

It can still get pretty cold. I remember once when I went to stay with friends in Poland it was - 24 C. The Baltic Sea froze that year.

The braziers are put out when it gets really cold.


Here's an article with a picture of one. I must admit I haven't actually seen them myself when I've been in Poland.

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


If you stand by the views that I have posted in your quotes, how is that attacking, diminishing and shaming you? They are your own words and opinions. The fact that most people in this thread are as repulsed as I am by your views suggests that underneath it all you know that your views are abhorrent to most people and are very far from being the norm. That's why you perceive anyone who counters your views or even to have an opinion that differs from yours, as being on the attack or trying to shame you.

If you're not ashamed of your views then why are you whining?


The only liar here is you:



Yesterday you accused me of being dishonest and posting ancient quotes about Johnny which don't apply today. I answered and told you that none of his quotes are old. This one was posted by him only a couple of days ago, post # 115 in this thread:


You were wrong but I doubt I'm going to get an apology or even any acknowledgement of this reply to you either.

It's a humorous sign commemorating the parish priest's 40th birthday. It's on a private road leading to the parish building. It was a gift from the parishioners. Nice idea!

Off-Topic / thinking of writting a book about myself [219]


They are not ancient quotes. All have been written in recent years. He wrote this yesterday in post #115:



Are you nuts?

You think it's a young girl's fault if she gets raped because of the way she is dressed.

You think that when girls ( tramps ) as you like to call them say no to sex they really mean yes.

You think that little girls put the bait out there.

None of this has anything to do with masculinity. These are the sick twisted thoughts of a pervert.


Over 70.


If you had an ounce of humanity you would not be condoning the things that Johnny writes about young girls.

Presumably because that makes both people identifiable. It doesn't mean that because someone is a suspect that they necessarily committed the crime. It could prejudice a forthcoming trial and if members of the public knew the people involved some people might take matters into their own hands if a crime is particularly nasty.

You know what my opinion is and from the way you've spoken to Lenka my views will be treated the same way simply because I'm female.


Talking about yourself here. I was right when I said that you would defend the indefensible by saying nothing about JR's vile quotes that I posted. That means you either support his views or you're too much of a coward to stand up and tell him that his views are unnatural and abnormal.

I searched in Polish. It flew across from France and landed on a windowsill in Poznań.
It's a bearded vulture. There aren't that many of them and it was released in France as part of a reintroduction of the species program.

That's the one I meant. In post #67.


Please don't tell me it's going to be obscure. If there was no danger of either party being overheard then why cover the mouth. Presume this was after Covid.

Ziobro clearly being secretive whilst making a phone call. Looks like he doesn't want the conversation overheard.

It's almost right but your English definition is spot on. It means 'I give up'. Feeling hopeless and despairing or conveying disbelief and resignation at the same time.

What time frame are we talking? That is Zbigniew Ziobro. Is this from when he was justice minister when PiS were in power ? There are recent corruption allegations but that is since the riddle was posted in #67.
