Sorry, no. With such meaning in mind I would have said: while they can go on a ride. I used but for a good reason.......

After the toast, the proper gift giving takes place. Some gifts were already handed in front of the church after the ceremony by too hasty guests who didn`t know the rules. :):):)

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

A quote from a political article: Guess the idiom:

Is the Third Way really losing support, and are the polls presented by the media distorting its electoral chances? PiS strongly argues that Poland 2050 and PSL will fall short of the threshold, but they (PiS) can go on a ride with it.

A quote from my OP post 3 years ago:


Journalists are trying to sum up PiS` eight years in health care before the elections. Nothing has been improved - queues to doctors have become longer, despite those PiS gangsters` false claims.

A consultation with a child psychiatrist refunded by the National Fund can be arranged for 2025. If you want to have it earlier, you need to pay 400 PLN for 30 minutes in a private clinic.

Thank you, PiS!

Queues lasting several months or several years to see specialists or undergo treatments are the norm in health care. However, according to a report by the Watch Health Care foundation, the waiting time for an appointment has increased even longer over the last 8 years. That's why patients choose private healthcare. The Prime Minister, on the other hand, boasts that those in power have managed to shorten queues to specialist doctors.

PS. Gumi, you are a PiS supporter. Are you happy with the situation in health care??? Do you know why it is in such a tragic condtion? Coz PIS has given out benefits instead of curing the system. E.g, their policy is to offer the 13th or 14th pension and the elderly can easily afford private treatment . hahahaha

It is an old tradition of breaking glasses for good luck. In the past they were richly ornamented glasses which nobility broke to show off their wealth.

The glass in the photo above was the one thrown by the newly weds. They did it in front of the wedding house. Next photos suggest they didn`t drink from the glass yet. I didn`t witness the scene coz I was looking for a parking space for our big car.

Later everybody entered the house and received their share of "champagne" which in Poland is usually cheap sparkling wine.

Some people are too weak to resist. Paranoidally toxic male partners can easily pry such secrets from their women. :(:(:(:

Wow, a very accurate comparison, I must remember it. Thanks!

Funny, but no, sorry, look closer. The clinker cobble isn`t the leit motif of that photo. Sth else is.

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


Yes, but remember, there are also conservative women with traditional views.
Also, there are women who are lost in life and depend on their male partners in everything, also political choices. They vote like males to feel safe.

Dear posters, before I show the next photos, let me remind you there is still a little riddle pending in my post 153. Anybody brave to guess as Light Brigade rider or Warsaw insurgent ????

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]


This means you are extremely torn in your choices - you wish for the opposition to win though their agendas are alien to you. You are probably a good example of traditional Polish schizophrenia. :):):):)


Yes, I noticed it. :):):) That is very good coz I can say anything and your silence means I am right in what I say to you and about you. That`s how readers perceive it. Sorry. :):):):):):):):):):)


Wow, you are the second poster who wants to hang me. The first was Ironside. I wonder who the third one will be. Ptak?????

Here most women are wiser than males and vote decently. As for stupid voters, they are here, too - mostly elderly people or uneducated or living in the countryside. They are easily brainwashed by state media propaganda.


It is amassing to see/read your implying what others think or do. At the same time, you see red when I imply what you think and do. :):):)


Exactly your attitude. hahahaha

Stop being offensive. Kania was saying wise things, albeit a bit surprising when we remember his previous entries.

Yes, thanks for the warning but I am aware of it so I have been buying the best fuel which is rated with ***** (five stars, not a taboo word). During summer holidays I used up most of my old supply from January and nothing got clogged.

It is amasing you are saying it. Did you change your conservative views?? It is the opposition with Tusk at the helm who are opting for free abortions and close ties with the EU which promotes genderism and LGBT. All these attitudes and agendas are controvercial to you, if not abhorrent.

Because you wrote it yourself - hero cop killed by the mafia But he recovers.
I only brought up and back that old joke about killing a guy who still escapes.

@Bobko Show us links. Certainly they didn`t appear in Polish media. Stop lying like a rabid dog. Even your stalinist grandpa didn`t lie so much as you do here.


At last. Russian drivers can use their cars again. Paradise Lost and Regained. hahahahaha

I wasn`t bragging. Amiga supposed I did so I explained I didn`t. Simple. :):):)


They are, indeed. Like those traitors who once led to the partitions of Poland - they didn`t care about anything except their lousy interests.


Yes, they killed him and he still managed to escape.

No. I just read an article with newest figures - export is limping. the recession is looming on the horizon.

It isn`t a dictatorship like Russia or Belarus where the regime can do anything with and to citizens and nobody can stop it. Here, luckily, so many decent Poles oppose those rabid rightists that the latter can`t put millions in prisons, it is simply impossible, though they would like to. Secondly, we are in the EU which protects basic values in Poland. PiS is too weak to overwhelm this opposition but they are still trying. Decent Poles have to keep resisting coz if we give up, Europe will have another Russia within its borders.

No coz I don`t watch TV. :):):)


No, those are urban legends. Don`t be so gullible. PiS poses a much bigger threat to Poland than some legendary agents.

I don`t know. Last time it was 150 litres. Now I still have 25 litres of that old supply and 35 of a new purchase. I am not going to buy a lot coz it is summer fuel which will be useless in winter time.
