Hey,why is everyone being so hard on nomen?
He has spent some time in Krakow,it does have a magic to the place when you dont really know Poland as a whole. I was,and I suspect a lot of us here were too,the same after my first week in Krakow......

The freedoms I suspect he dislikes in the US that are still being fought for in eastern europe will be there soon enough so that will just be another disapointment for him to take in,why add to the coming misery with trolling?

Hahaha the Post First Trip Glow :)
A well known phenomenon,enjoy it while it lasts.
Scratch the surface below a nice holiday and Poland is just as shaby or just as glorious as pretty much every other nation in Europe.

You talk about natural feminine women (i'll leave the sexism aside ..) when what I see are Umpa Lumpa orange coloured gold diggers starving themselves into skinny jeans, wanting to bag a man, proclaiming their catholicness but screwing like bunny rabbits.......

Somewhere between your view and my maybe slightly exagerated view is a happy medium closer to the average reality of Poland :)

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

What? Christianity? That sh!t was forced on us 15 hundred years ago buddy.
As for fashion statement????? Seriously,in my time Ive worn some stuff Im glad wasnt caught on camera but, having my man bits dangling out in public was never a fashion craze I heard of...........

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


The Parachute regiments Battle Cry during the war was one they had learnt in North Africa. " Whoa Mohhamed". No German could get near to pronouncing Arabic and the phrase was used at Arnhem and Normandy as a sign of friendly forces being around. Not sure they still shout it in Afganistan though :)

If I remember rightly Lord Lovats Commandos had Scots Gaelic speaking radio operators .

Life / Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]


erm,yes I do.
You however just spout out the opinions of others based on what exactly? The linear aproach to education so beloved by nations who have little history of innovation I guess.....

You seem to have this weird idea that there is an ultimate *truth* in History, good luck finding it.

Thats all History is dumb dumb.....


Yes,ironside, FACTS. Unlike your OPINIONS.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


Mate, remember Im a Yorkshire lad, most of the stuff I post is tongue in cheek or plain mickey taking,course I knew,thats why I put her Wikki link up:)

Ive fancied her since the 90s ,and ta for reminding me Im getting old BTW...MILF, she's 2 years younger than me lol
Just spotted about Waterloo Road, will make time to see it on iplayer (oops, have we both admited to watching waterloo road,thats fekkin tragic ;) )

Nicki, she's one of those actors who turn up on shows,not A list but not some Z list wannabe .
You know that guy you like who was in that show back then and turns up now and again as a guest star on some shows you watch? Well she's that for me :)

PS, Daniela, if you do ever come on PF and read this,dont worry,Im not one of those stalker types :)

17th century, Ive already told you *our* Kings were controlled and First among equals for around a thousand years before that.
Prior to that the same was true of the Brithannic Chieftens, men elected to lead not just entitled by birth,even when entitlement by Birth came in *our* Kings were getting deposed left right and centre since the late 11th century.

As the Mod said irons, calm down dear, its only history, its not as though you or I had anything whatsoever to do with it......

Life / Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]


And your defence of a bunch of medieval rich boys lording it over the majority of a population kept as slaves into the 18th/19th century makes a mockery of your whole fake liberal pseudo intelkshual personna ...privelage on the basis of fluke of Birth....wierd fekking thing for any self respecting American (or Austrailian) to cheer on IMHO.


Again, your defence of Polands system is ,well, laughable.
So, freemen,who had the right to do what they want,go to war or stay at home and raise sheep who chose to go to war in defence of the realm are lesser men than so called nobles who HAD to go to war when they were told? No, I dont claim them as equals I call them as the lesser men.


And I have already shown this is utter garbage in a previous post,at least when it comes to the nobility on the British isles. So re posting just shows again your lack of understanding and lumping of all your rather odd preconceptions of europe into either Poland or not poland.....plum. As I said, there was never a period in English history when any *nobles* were so servile. Have you never heard the term Primus inter pares? Any british King who thought he was above the Law soon found out he wasnt.


Dessi dearest, its your own negative view of Poland that brings you to the conclusion that *playing catch up* was in any way an insult to Poland. Its just a simple statement of fact. Poland was on the edge of Europe,had never been a part of Rome and came to the European/Christianity party very late. If anything the *catch up* played by Poland was amazingly fast and not being a carbon copy of the west was far better adapted to Polands needs.

You can think you are a dog and bark at the moon if you want, you still aint a dog. You are British,Im guessing with some Polish heritage,but,you miss the point,being British thats understandable as we are perfectly used to people with all sorts of exotic backgrounds being no more or less British than anyone else.

Its untrue to say Poles from Poland have the same idea about people living there.
Its funny,in a country where the nazi race laws had such nasty outcomes there is still an obsession with the exact national/ethnic make up of everyone,if you have not discovered that yet stick around here for a few more weeks.

All the Rights,none of the responsibilities,so,no,not Nobles just people who may or may not at one time have had a rich ancestor.

Hungarian Jewish.
Austrian Mother, Hungarian father
Still British though even if that is such a hard concept for some Poles to grasp.
If she had been born in Poland every bugger there would know she was *a Jew not a real Pole*.

Er, whatever, he was a nice bloke,and definatly not a fake or wannabe :)
TBH, Im going back nearly 30 years here but as far as I remember he himself never called himself a Count, it was more other people would say ," Oh yes,he was a Count or some such back in Poland " .

That seems to sum up my understanding of things. You could be a citizen who owned a tavern or a citizen in the senate,fair point,the majority in rome as in Poland had none of the rights of citizens where as in other feudal sociaties rights were extended further sooner. Again ironsides,this isnt a pissing contest to see who had the best or worst bunch of feudal wan kers lording it over people a few hundred years ago :)


Lols, a friend of mine was the same,always harking on about her families old land. I eventually saw some old photos, bless. I mean, the place was pretty and quaint,plenty of "rustic charm",but not exactly what Id built up in my mind from her stories :)

As a child my family took holidays in Spain in their place (the days when you could buy a place for a couple of grand,not showing off here lol) and a neighbour was a lovelly old Polish Count called Maximilian, so down to earth but,even as a small child I could tell he was from a different breed to most people. Not snobby,just very elegant in an old fashioned ,manly way .

I hope he lived long enough to see Poland free again.


Exactly what I said to my mate Bob Gaveston ;)

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Crap situation all round.
It would seem Zimmerman is guilty as sin,but, he will never get a fair trial now.
He is,legally,fcuked. What judge is going to risk giving him a proportional sentence now?
Moral of the story here is, *Call the Cops,when they tell you to back the F off,you back the F off*.

That threw me too lol.
Cant say Ive met many Snobbish Americans.
Though the ones I have met like that are world class at it :)
No, America IMHO has been much influenced by real British values of judging someone on deeds and actions rather than percieved status :)
Tourists seem obbsessed with our "Nobility" but we natives could give a fig. Ive worked with with a direct descendant of the Plantagenet Kings ,nobody cares beyond historical curiosity :)

Dessi,please dont get yourself suspended again with this irational and ill educated distaste of all things British..
You obviously know far far less on these subjects than you would wish others to think.

Do you seriously think its somehow more *noble* to keep slaves(serfs) in utter poverty,to use them as animals if the *noble* doing this abusing is some semi literate living in a slightly larger wooden shack than his serfs?

For disgusting maybe you should do some research on the percentage of Freemen in the respective countries. Most Polish nobility were no more than Gentlemen Farmers with a documented family history ,Britain had those types too,but they had to pay their workers who had the right to leave whenever they want.

If the word disgusting is being thrown around Id be a bit carefull here Dessi as everyone knows Poland only freed its slaves hundreds of years after most of western Europe.....

Any hoo, OP. Its much like in Britain,where you can get scummy chavs with double barrel names or seriously posh people called Smith. ( Kowalski in Polish ;) )

Grzegorz? ;)


End it in SKA. ska is female,ski is male, plus ska/ski can often mean a connection to the landed gentry in the past without being totally upper class.

The British/Polish actress Rula Lenska is of noble stock for instance.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Well,to be honest, Ive a Louisville Slugger,old school wooden Baseball bat :)
Used to carry it in my car when I had to drive in some of the less classy parts of the country,a few mates on the force so I always had my mit and a couple of Baseballs in the car too ;)

As for Zombies,Ive still plenty of 33s and a trunk full of 45s for that :)

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Exactly.
Dont you ever consider that criminals who break into Homes in the US carry guns BECAUSE the owner probably has guns?
Euro house breakers tend to be armed with a screw driver, a cricket bat trumps that every time :)
