History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

My wife said she was served good meals at her grade school in the 80's.

Our meals of 1970s were basic. And cooks were frugal. Incidents like dividing one whole chicken for 30 students were not rare. In kindergarten we mostly received kasha with some gravy but without meat.

I never dreamt of communism coming back, like some other people. Lousy homo sovieticuses. :):):)

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

In communist primary schools, especially in 1970s (I don`t know about 1980s) milk was served free to students in school canteens. I hated it coz it was always burnt and smelled horrible. Besides, we suspected our school cooks added water to it to have more.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]

I read in one article that Poland is wasting some of its funds on armament which isn`t so necessary really. E.g., tanks or HIMARS. Why? Russia isn`t going to send their land troops to occupy Poland because they are in tragic shape. In case of a conflict, Russians will primarily attack with long range missiles fired from the ground and aircraft.

That is why Poland has to focus on anti missile systems, like Patriot and others.

Interesting view.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

if PO wins they will most likely abandon most defensive projects.

No, they won`t coz contracts have already been signed. PO keeps the word even if it was given by those PiS losers.
However, in the army thread I will write sth interesting about our purchases. .

News / The Political Circus of Poland [309]

PiS circus takes place practically every day now.
Can you imagine that PiS officials, including their Liar-in Chief Prime Minister, ceremoniously opened a bridge today? The joke is the bridge has already been operating for 6 months.

Amasing liars, those rightists.

It is so popular that when you google MOST (bridge), you will see a dozen articles about the opening.

Life / Poor hygiene of people in public places in Poland [46]

Alcohol triggers several chemical reactions in the body that cause sweat to smell distinct

Possible. But alcohol comes in different versions. My own wines give my body unusual aroma which is extremely pleasant to others. I see it in their positive reactions when I walk by them. Let alone my wife who often says she could you know what.

did you ever consider diacetyl as the source of your problems?

Never. Diabolic rightists are much bigger nuisance in Poland, not diacetyl.

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]

It is possible that Poles acquired the reputation of a nation of liars, due to long-term occupation by galactic lying power - Russia.

PiS rightists, the most infamous liars in today`s Poland, follow Putinist standards in many ways, not only in lying.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

Yes and the refugees

Now much better. :):)

Big difference

Nope, practically no difference. It only shows your amasing hypocrisy when you praise PiS and critisize Mr President Biden for doing the same thing, namely giving out benefits to millions although it creates huge burden on the economy and increases debt.

Are you calling Oxford Economics PiS propagandists

Now you are being carried away. :):) Relax.

who fell into a vat of cow manure.

Still carried away. :):)

As for traitors, it is you and your family who betrayed Poland coz you chose comfortable life in Australia when Poland was a very poor country destroyed by communism. While I stayed and rebuilt it. Kneel down, bolshevik loser, when talking to me. Ha! hahahaha

I was talking about people who have entered our country illega

No, you claimed that PiS gives benefits only to Polish people and that was a lie coz Ukrainians aren`t Polish and they also get benefits.

The difference is that PiS are giving it to the Polish people and Democrats are giving it to the 13 million illegal

Bolox. Stop lying. In the US poor Americans also get benefits while in Poland Ukrainian refugees do.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

if you are accepting 500+ then you should shut your mouth before criticising it!

Of course not. Today PiS is indebting Poland in order to give out all benefits. In the future our kids will have to repay all those debts. It is completely fair that rich families should receive the benefit for their kids, too. Ha!

It seems this socialist attitude you displayed before is deeply rooted in you. Be gone, you bolshevik loser. :):):) If you aren`t able to raise kids with your own means, then don`t have them. Preying on other people to maintain you and your family isn`t really a pleasure - it is a nuisance. Simple. ):):)

History / Why American military aid to Europe and Poland is important to America itself? [227]

They sure as hell aren't up to teaching military strategy or tactics

Worthless, shortly speaking. They possess zero initiative, are afraid to take quick decisions on their own, wait until a superior officer gives an order. That`s typical of officers educated in undemocratic systems.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

because the Nazis liberated you from the clutches of the cannibalistic cult of Bolshevism?

No, Tovarisch Bobko, they didn`t. Just like Soviets didn`t liberate us, they only chased Nazis away and introduced another totalitarian regime - communism. That`s why we should be grateful to them??? Amassing! :):):)

And if they stopped and made separate peace with Germany after liberating Italy and France?

Stopped while possessing atomic weapons??? :):):)

had repelled the American invasion?

Americans who possessed atomic weapons??? :):):)

etc etc

After this war, Russian officers can easily go and teach in the United States

No, they won`t, coz most of them will be dead or crippled.

Russians know there are Ukrainian saboteurs and partisans in the temporarily occupied territories or in Russia proper. But that`s all. Preventing those groups` activities is beyond Russian capabilities.

Idiots in Poland tear down Soviet-era monuments

According to your logic, we should have kept Nazi monuments, if there were any in Poland.
Amasing! :):):)

Don`t you know that propagating two totalitarian regimes, nazism and communism, is punished in Poland???

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]

me feel sick as a kid, like eating thick hair.....

Yes, I hate them, too. I can`t forget the incident in my childhood when a fishbone got stuck in my throat and nobody and nothing could help for a few hours. I was really scared I would have to go to hospital for an operation. :):):)

Tastes change as you get older and I like most seafood now.

Yes, but when trying herring, choose its pickled version in which fishbones are soft coz if not, they practically make the dish inedible. Crisp fried version also greatly deals with fishbones but only in small fish..

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [99]

Jon, I will soon reply to your post but let me first finish with the dishes unknown in the country which the name suggests.

they allude to foreign origin but strangely, are completely unknown in the countries

Herring ala Japanese - pickled herring, an egg, peas, pickled cucumber, onion, mayonaise. Once a very popular appetizer with vodka.

If you google śledź po japońsku, you will find tens of different arrangements of the ingredients. Here is just one of them:

and the recipe:

News / Kaczyński stirs up hatred between Germans and Poles. [20]

such loose, impetuous talk is inappropriate in a world

We know about it and he does too. The difference is that we are decent people of liberal agenda while he isn`t coz he is a rightist. So he acts as a rightist and us, decent people,. have to protest and oppose.

The problem is that there are too many morons in current Poland. Intelligent people were exterminated by Nazis and Soviets - I mean both Jewish Poles and ethnic Poles. After decades it is still visible we lack this common wisdom in the nation when PiS is supported by about 30% despite all their blatant theft and scandals.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

I recommend this site to any amateur potato growers. Very informative!

gardendesign.com/vegetables/potatoes.html

E.g, this is the thing I have learned only there and nobody else explains why you SHOULD cut potato tubers into pieces. Amasing!

Cut large tubers into pieces. I cut mine so that each segment has two or three "eyes" (the little bumps from which sprouts emerge, as shown in the photo). The reason for cutting the potatoes is because the many eyes on a large potato will create a crowded, multi-stemmed plant, with each stem competing for food and moisture, and in the end, bearing only small potatoes.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

Due to rainy weather, all new veg I planted or sowed are doing well.
There is one failure, though. I experimented with potatoes over the winter - I planted them in late September and early October. About 100 holes. Only 4 are producing young vines now . I wonder why. Two options - I planted them too early - some started growing soon after planting in autumn. Second option - the winter was too severe. But I did cover them with the black agrofabric!!!

Amasing are the laws of nature which Mother Goddess regulates as She wishes. I am not annoyed or disappointed coz this is life. And apart from winter potatoes, I also planted spring ones in nearly 300 holes. Ha!

now tusk is saying 800+ should be introduced

Yes, because he decided it is the best to defeat the enemy with their own weapons. Clever guy. Ha!

free medicines for 75 and over is ongoing. there are more than 2000 medicines on the list.

You can wipe your dirty you know what with this list if the funding has been cut. Seniors go to chemists` and hear they have to pay the full price coz the gov subsidy has run out.
