Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [796]


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.

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.

This is only for Polish war heroes?

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!

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



Are you nuts?

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


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.

Yeah, I took you at your word! Nice to have others contributing to this thread !

I'm probably wrong but Is this anything to do with Pegasus spyware?

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.

Giving a young girl illegal drugs and alcohol in order to have sex with her isn't a problem for you? Noted.


The girls that Johnny talks about in such glowing terms are all someone's daughters/granddaughters etc. Context.


Instead of being rude perhaps you'd care to give your thoughts on Johnny's comments below. I'm sure there will be a deafening silence because it's going to be quite hard to defend the indefensible:




Anyone supporting these vile comments has a screw loose.

You do realise that the DM link you posted originally is not the same one that I posted in #202?

This is what you posted:

This is what I posted which includes the 2 videos:

You should be apologising now then as my British source includes footage of what was said.

That's probably a first then! I just presume the Polish members will know all the riddles.

Onto the next one and this is easy:

What is meant by 'hands are dropping'?

News / Polish coal will be back [141]


Devastating for whole communities.


Exactly. Closure of the mines had a knock on effect for all the other industries. My lodger retrained as an electrician but even all these years on there is no work where he comes from. He lives there but works away most of the time on contracts.


Parts of Wales are very much like that. Much easier to get on the mortgage ladder but no job prospects and decaying town and village centres. These places will never recover.

News / Polish coal will be back [141]


That first video clip reminds me of a lodger I had many years ago now. He was so happy when she died. He'd been a miner back in the day in the Welsh valleys and he lost both his job and his miner's cottage when the mines were shut down. One of the first things he asked me when he came to my house to have a look around was what was my opinion of Margaret Thatcher. He's a smashing bloke and we're still good mates.

It is what the Brits call the Daily Mail, but hey! Try and distract from the British source that I linked to earlier.
Here it is again for you:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13466099/Jaws-star-Richard-Dreyfuss-DRESS-delivering-sexist-homophobic-speech.html

But of course you'll hardly ever admit that you're wrong.........

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


I wouldn't do that but there are posters here that would. At least two people that I know of that were on this forum have been stalked in real life and had their employment suffer as a result.


You're loyal I'll give you that. I wouldn't want anyone who thinks that little girls are bait or thinks it is the girl's fault for getting raped because of the way she is dressed within a mile of female members of my family. If you think that Johnny's comments are in any way normal, then there is something seriously wrong with your thinking too.

He's still saying the same thing in his latest post # 115:


Little girls do not 'put the bait out there'.

History / The Two Saddest Nations on Earth... Poles and Jews [243]


I asked the same thing in my post # 202 but strangely enough he didn't reply........


In my post 202 I said to you that the Daily Fail had linked to a video clip:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13466099/Jaws-star-Richard-Dreyfuss-DRESS-delivering-sexist-homophobic-speech.html

Actually, there are 2 video clips in the article so that blows your lack of British freedom of speech out the window.

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


OMG, he really does look like him! Especially that first picture. Believe it or not I've never actually seen Crackerjack so I had no idea who he was.


Did you not read post # 99 where I posted Johnny's quotes? They are his own words, not mine.
https://polishforums.com/off-topic/thinking-writting-book-myself-88427/4/#msg1971933


Why would I post details about my private life here when there are posters like Johnny to stalk and research given any little bit of information? In addition, it's none of your business.

I have posted quotes which are JR's own words so it's hardly a question of me lying and being untruthful is it.

If you support him that much then you should have no problem introducing him to your granddaughters. Here are more of his own words just so you know exactly what he thinks about girls in general:





Little girls putting the bait out there? Hardly a normal way of thinking is it?

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


You see this is where your thinking is completely screwed. Normal people on hearing somebody your age making lascivious comments about young girls would think in exactly the same way as I do, that you're a lecherous creep. You try your best to insinuate that I'm overweight and over the hill to try and justify your unnatural way of thinking about young girls.

Why on earth would some 18 year old be interested in a retired grease monkey with a criminal record who bears an uncanny resemblance to Humpty Dumpty?

The more I read of your comments on this forum the more inclined I am to think that what Lazarus is saying isn't so far from the truth.


Would you be happy for your granddaughters to be spoken about in the way that Johnny speaks about young girls? Would you like them plied with alcohol and cocaine?

I don't know how you can defend someone who makes comments like this that you don't have to take someone's word for because he has actually written them here on PF.





Perhaps you'd like to introduce him to one of your young female family members.

Where are the reports of what was said in the US media? This did take place in a US movie theatre after all and it was this venue that apologised for what he said. So much for freedom of speech. I don't get why you think the British press would be that interested in an aged American actor making insulting remarks in an American theatre? Slow news week?

You didn't look too hard either. I found a 6 minute video clip courtesy of the Daily Fail. It was very hard to hear what he was saying to be honest.

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


You're right, it means that someone got completely lost. Apparently, the origins of the idiom are unknown but I think it stands to reason that somewhere down the line someone wandered over that border.....

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


More lies. I don't have a picture of you and I think everybody here knows that you are Jim Werden because you have inadvertently dropped yourself in it so many times.


Not true but think what you want because I don't really care who you are.

What I will say though is that you do yourself absolutely no favours by talking about females the way you do. 'Hot girls', girls with 'hard bellies', '18 year old virgins' etc etc

You are over 70. You come across as a completely lecherous creep.
