Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


Don't make fatal mistakes like this one. From one of your favourite sources:

Isn't this one of the main reasons you are in support of guns?

Off-Topic / What's your hobby? [191]


How could you! I only ever through drawings away if I wasn't happy with them. Bit of a perfectionist I'm afraid!


Don't think I'm up to the PF criticism! Especially since I'm the only one that hasn't studied art at an advanced level.

Have you posted any art on here before?


Yes. I did my A levels and both degrees as a mature student.

He does actually look familiar but I will have think about this.

They are. I've had to actively seek out where some of the murals I've seen are. Means doing a lot of walking but I like getting off the beaten track and you see loads along the way.


I don't particularly agree with that. To be a good artist requires talent in my opinion. That is something you are born with. I'm not saying that a person can't learn to draw or paint but I think the results would be limited. I'm never going to be the next Leonardo da Vinci no matter how hard I try!


Yes. I spent years drawing, at one time it was my obsession. I only ever worked in pencil and crayons though. I still have all my artwork. Some of it is so old that the paper has yellowed. I've never had any formal training. I wanted to go to art school but my parents said no and when I left home at 16, I put thoughts of going out of my mind as I had to work. Art and Literature were the subjects I loved at school, my science obsession came later on. Further education for me came years later.


I was looking through some of his work yesterday and I realised that I had heard his name before. Wroclaw Boy started a thread on here about him:

https://polishforums.com/archives/2010-2019/life/anti-establishment-artist-pawel-71094/

The link no longer links to his work though. I remembered only when I came across a painting of a man burning the rungs on a wooden ladder, his only way out of a pit, to keep warm, that I knew I'd seen it before and thought of this thread. You are right in that he is prolific, he's done so much work! I liked all the ' Insomnia ' collection.


Lady Godiva? I don't think so but there are many paintings with that theme. It'll probably be obvious when you tell me what it is.

I haven't heard of this artist before but I really like his work. I especially like 'The Moon' picture.

I am familiar with Natalia Rak. She is an amazing artist and I love her murals. I especially like 'The Legend of the Giants' mural. Maybe I'll get to Białystok to see it one day.

I have a huge folder/file of street art. Whenever I travel somewhere, I try and check out the street art scene. Kaunas, Kyiv and Malaga have some great murals.


Me too. I wish I was that talented. I would rather look at a beautiful mural than an ugly building :)

I didn't think it would warrant this kind of meltdown though!


That's fine and I can do the same thing highlighting more of your copying and pasting. It's not honest to mislead people.

Food / Polish Pizza !! The best in the world? [330]


I don't really think we have anything that traditional here other than Cheddar cheese, Thatchers Cider and Cornish pasties. No particular dishes I can think of.

I haven't been to the north of England ( other than to climb Snowdon ) since I was a kid. My mother was from the north west and we used to visit my grandmother who still lived there. She always used to make Parkin, which I haven't had since. I don't know if it's a northern thing but she used to give us glasses of sterilised milk, which I loved. I always remember wondering why the milk at home didn't taste the same. I've only had it a couple of times since.


That definitely sounds like something I would try.

I have been wanting to visit Yorkshire for some time now. I think I would love the Dales and moors. I quite like remote areas that others might find bleak. Everyone seems to go for Whitby and York but I think they might be a bit touristy. It would also give me the chance to try out the Barnsley chop! The Peak District also appeals.


We have them here though. I buy my eggs from a local farmer and not far away from me you can buy locally produced cheese, fruit and veg. In my town we have a farmer's market and the local villages near here have them too.

I've never heard of it before. Fish free Worcester Sauce.


I feel a bit like that about Worcester Sauce. I've always got it in the cupboard. Bit of an addiction. Why are Sheffield people called Deedahs?


I knew what it was but I can't say it looks appealing.


I've not tried that either but I've seen it in supermarkets:

Dock and Herb Puddings sound interesting. I bet there's lots of Northern dishes I don't know about.

All of it from what I read. So it isn't your method. Just be honest. Let's face it the only time you're not copying and pasting is when you're being abusive.

How very Christian of you! On Easter Sunday too.

Ugh! There are so many better things you could serve with pancakes.


I've tried it but never bought it. Not a fan. The only sauces I currently have at home are soy and Worcester sauce.


Never tried them. I doubt most people have. I'm willing to bet that most people from other countries no little about British cuisine. Time and again if people comment it's only to talk about our fish and chips, like it's the only dish we ever eat. That or an English breakfast.

In addition, white linen to go in the basket, greenery, bread/babka. Friends of mine usually put a sugar lamb in there that their kids have made. I think horseradish is also included.

This interview with him says it all for me. Guess you are one of his admirers as you are actually repeating almost verbatim some of the the stuff he comes out with. If you can't see what is wrong with this guy then there is a problem.

I can't see why. Being assertive and standing up for oneself doesn't mean being aggressive. Sometimes the two get confused. Rather that than be a doormat.
