Off-Topic / Things We Love [257]

The smell of laundry fresh from the washing line.
In fact everything laundry related except ironing!

Fish for Christmas dinner.
Everything/anything kiszone/kwaszone.
No cows or sheep in the fields.

Love / Some questions about a Polish guy and what Polish guys are like [6]


The things you're talking about are fairly superficial and many European men would have similar kinds of manners and standards. In terms of relationships it's hard to generalise about any one nationality and say they're a particular way.

Love / Some questions about a Polish guy and what Polish guys are like [6]

Polish men are not that different to any other men. You've been married so you should be mature/experienced enough to use your own judgement about him.

All good points, but you can get a wire cage thingee to catch the letters, they don't have to drop on the floor. Such letterboxes are the only option really when you have houses without front gardens or space to put a free-standing mailbox.

They're called a letter box, strangely enough. Why don't you like them?


Yes, they're awful.

Mine was in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland.


Well, if they haven't been rewired they would be! But the UK electrical system is far superior to the European ones. It's much safer.

I always say you can't beat a nice pinafore. Would you believe I had an identical one to this when I was about four years old :) But I had the edge on Sindy because I wore mine with a red and white striped jumper to give the wow factor

Life / Are there any prescriptions / medications for adult ADHD in Poland? [12]

The poster you're talking to hasn't posted for eight years so he's not likely to reply. You don't need a Luxmed subscription package to use their services. You can just make an appointment and that would be the best thing for you to do. I don't know what the poster duckduckgoose meant by building up a big supply. I presume he meant that he doesn't take his meds regularly but hoards them for future possible use. However doctors will only prescribe for up to three months supply of drugs as a rule.

If you have a PESEL number you could try using an E-Recepta service. You complete a medical history form and a doctor checks it, maybe sends you some further questions and will then prescribe for you.

It's Jesus who teaches us that. As Jon says the Bible is another matter altogether.

I started it as a bit of lighthearted fun which indeed is long overdue. But the tedium can never be relieved for long in this place.

You really need to get a grip on yourself. Being human is a terminal illness. We're all dying. If nature follows its usual course we age, we decline, we suffer. It's the price we pay for having had the gift of a life in the first place. Be grateful for the good things you've had in your life and accept with grace the bad things, the regrets, the mistakes, the wrongs you've done. Hand the baton on to the next generations. Very soon it will be their turn to move on. And so the cycle of life and death continues. Accept that and stop your nonsense.

You're ruining the last few years of your life with this relentless anger and misery and if you're not careful you'll end up giving yourself dementia. Don't take the chance that going doo-lally will release you from your suffering. God knows how the world looks to an Alzheimers sufferer. I watched my grandmother, who lived with us, spending eight years dying from a combination of Parkinsons and Alzheimers and I can tell you she didn't look as if she were at peace. My grandfather watched it too as his own heart struggled to keep beating. You're a disgrace with your never ending whingeing and moaning. If you're that fed up, trot off to the prayer group and pray for death to come quickly. Otherwise, behave like a normal person.

Definitely not! It's partly the nature of grass-fed milk from which it's made and partly the churning process.

The beef. Our beef is some of the best in the world. Also our milk, cream and butter are exceptional.

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [339]


Why did you do that?

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [339]


You got that idea from me :) You didn't know anything about referendums before I mentioned having them in Ireland and off you went to your research and you discovered Switzerland. You see, you're still learning, despite your determination to atrophy in a sea of misery over impending decline and death. Go on ya good thing!

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [339]


Rather like PIS then :)) They're incredibly vindictive and narrow minded.

I don't hate them. I'm just stating facts. How much in depth knowledge do you really have of them and their record since coming into government?

Off-Topic / Things we hate [420]


Neither do I :) but I can't help noticing things. I wonder if it's because of going to art college and being trained to look and evaluate. Also, I have to say my mother was always commenting on people's appearance, not to their faces I hasten to add!

'God almighty, the size of the legs on your woman, she's an awful heifer' or ' a big heap' was another term she used to describe overweight women. Unsatisfactory legs were one of her obsessions lol! Scrawny, bandy, knock-kneed, bow-legged, shapeless, too straight, too curved .......

On the other hand she sang the praises of women with what she described as 'beautiful limbs' ie. both the arms and legs were slender and lovely. So I suppose it's a learned behaviour from my mother.

Off-Topic / Things we hate [420]


I'm not in the least bit strange. I just like long, floaty dresses.


Some women are very stocky and don't have nice legs. Even slim women who go to the gym often end up with very muscular calves. I noticed that the feet of many Polish women are very broad and flat and don't look the prettiest in summer sandals. I call them Shrek feet.

I don't think that women should go around like some old frump in a shapeless sack, but they should dress to make the best of their good points whatever those are, and keep a bit of themselves in reserve rather than displaying everything to all and sundry.

Not so keen on the flowers but the style of the dress is really nice in my opinion.

You're either very young or yet another tiresome troll.

Not everything revolves around the war in Ukraine. The internal politics of a country need to be addressed. Witch-hunting by PIS in various forms has been going on for too long. They use it partly to distract attention from their incompetence and corruption and partly to work through personal vendettas against those whom they dislike or see as a threat. That kind of politics has no place in a nation working at establishing a fair and democratic system.

Would you consider putting mosquito nets on the windows? You can make DIY ones quite cheaply. Double-sided sticky tape round the window frame, velcro on top and then stick the net to the velcro. You can have the window open all the time and get plenty of fresh air but it will keep the flies etc. at bay.


I really detest mens' legs :)) and don't get me started on the ones who complete the look with white ankle socks and black trainers. I don't like seeing too much of other people's anatomies unless they're exceptionally beautiful which most people aren't. Standing in a queue for example and the woman in front is wearing some backless top or dress and has this horrible rough skin - yuk! And flabby upper arms with blotchy skin and bingo wings - no, no, no! Don't! Cover yourself up with a nice thin cotton blouse or something. You don't look nice!

We're not remotely puritanical and we're not prudish either. We know how to have fun. You should visit Ireland. You'll have a great time.

Girls need to have common sense. If you have your arse and your tits hanging out, men will stare at you. It's ridiculous to expect men, especially young ones with raging hormones to not look at you if you're half naked.


Well, I never wore shorts when I was a teenager or in my twenties. At most I'd wear a backless halter neck top and jeans or a long skirt. Bare arms, bare back but never cleavage, arse or thighs on display.

Off-Topic / Things we hate [420]


And then being upset because men are looking at them, the 'I'm being harrassed' nonsense. Cover your arse if you don't want attention from men.

Off-Topic / Things we hate [420]

They don't usually sting so there's no need to be afraid of them. Just ignore them.


Mind you, most women would be better off avoiding shorts too.

Off-Topic / Things we hate [420]

On a summer theme, some of my hates:

Mosquitos.
Flies.
Very hot weather.
Direct sunlight.
Men wearing shorts.

That's mostly to do with the water quality, not the tanin in the tea. I lived in a house with well water for five years and the cups were pristine. In the city with hard water the cups needed a lot more cleaning. If you have a lot of limescale in your kettle, forming round your taps, in the toilet pan, then your tea cups will be brown.

And Amercians have no sense of irony while Poles take everything literally. My comment was facetious.
