News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


How exactly? The Rwanda plan was phenomenally expensive and the numbers of migrants they planned to export per year was less than the daily arrivals by boat. It wasn't a plan it was an absolute joke. To date, no-one has come up with a credible solution. The Tories even managed to lose 17000 asylum seekers whose claims had been withdrawn on their watch and no-one has any idea where they are!


Amen.

The photo's not that clear. Long socks? Leggings?

It did and I prefer the blue now I can actually see it clearly.

Black ones :):)

I can only see sleeves? Possibly from jackets/hoodies/workwear?

Is this something to do with plants or something obscure?

I doubt they even think about the consequences of spreading misinformation. A good example of that misinformation is in post #304 where the idiot poster states that the Covid vaccine gets into a person's DNA. Absolute bollocks.

Some of Lidl marzipan comes from Germany and some from Italy. I've just found that they sell dark chocolate covered marzipan eggs too.......


I haven't had those for years but I only really liked the blue bobbly looking ones.

I do like halva although not had it for years. Must try some next time I'm in PL.

I caught measles at age 5, ended up hospitalised and almost died. I can still remember it.

You can make light of it but it's a serious disease which is on the increase because of idiot anti-vaxxers.

From the article I linked to:

Online anti-vaxxers, conflating Covid and MMR theories, are convincing parents against immunising their children.

It's in different flavours too. In addition to the one in dark chocolate there's also a pineapple and rum marzipan log and a rum and raisin one.

The best ones though are the Lidl marzipan chocolate rounds. They come in orange, cherry, and plum and madeira flavours. They are to die for!

Of course they don't which is why potentially fatal diseases like measles are on the increase again:

Probably as many times as I asked how many kids dead from gunshot wounds are too many. Where's my answer?

Yes. I found it strange that it's translated as coffee on the table as that should be kawa na stole. Go figure.


Yes. Speaking plainly and getting straight to the point.

I love marzipan as well as coffee chocolates :)


Lidl do a marzipan log in dark chocolate. Sadly, it's usually only at Xmas and Easter.

What does it mean ( to put ) coffee on the table?

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

They usually do that as a way of avoiding answering the question. Especially if they're wrong. Plus, they don't appear to have any manners.

That's what I initially thought but in the UK you have to pull down on a handle which opens up somewhere to deposit the clothes, put the bag of clothes in, then push the handle upwards to 'drop' the clothes into the bin inside. Maybe that happens in the part of the bin that's obscured in the photo.

I didn't think there were that many but I've tried quite a few. Wish I could buy just the coffee ones.

E Wedel Pawełek have a caffe latte chocolate bar but I've yet to find other coffee flavoured chocolates.

Not having heard this term before I followed your link. Wish I hadn't just eaten my breakfast though.....


Bits of clothing? In the UK we have bins that you can recycle used clothing in but this doesn't look the same.

That would be my complaint. Colour is ok but I preferred the green.

I like those merci chocolates. They have a coffee flavoured one and coffee chocolates are hard to find in the UK. Doesn't seem to be a popular flavour :(

Not keen on that either Milo. Just English mustard for me. I remember trying an awful tasting mustard labelled 'French' that came in a glass jar as a child and I haven't actually tried Polish mustard...yet.
