Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

Why is it that polish people on this forum ALWAYS has to bash so hard on tourist

I am not Polish I am a Londoner. I just think it is funny...OK maybe I have a warped sense of humour. ..these places have always been in London, we were brought up on warnings about them. Strangely they seemed to operate within the law.... Sorry to have offended anybody.

Poor guys really, I remember once I went into a late night 'pub' in Athens, not knowing that a 'pub' is a euphemism for bordello in that city.......

at least I just got strange looks... not ripped off.
But you know...there WAS a clue in the name.....
and theres nothing wrong with my morals....
I bet the OP and his mates had been having a sex tour of Europe....y know...Amsterdam, Prague....

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

By the way, who are the 'PC brigade'?

Any word is racist if it is used in an aggressive or derogatory way.

Life / a funny poem in Polish (not mine) [11]

hey Pam, check this google chrome translation!!

Somewhere in Poland, in a small town,
sat Mietek ass in the dough.
He wanted to bake a cake Jadźce,
it equally exceptional Madro-fool. He had a recipe from a neighbor, which often bite the buttocks. He got the recipe from her, before she took it "on the gore . " The provision of simple, eggs, flour, Mietek in the kitchen is already wandering. little bit of milk, a cup of sugar, the dough will be full of icing. In the bottom of the card from a neighbor, which is always sexy pants. Krech naskrobane Fat, Alcohol, and add the cream. had cream Mietek galore, a jar full of a hundred cows. But spirituous does not have, ran after him to the neighbor. gave him the "deer" with three hundred, the rest put to the couches. took Mietek Alcohol, quickly, before he left in the doorway gulped. He returned home a modest thresholds very blissful state of carnal ;) Now you probably all clear why the ass in a bowl with the cake ;)

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

look, who cares? 'Nanny', in reference to grandmother, is not a word uttered by the elite of British society. Who gives one? People can call their relatives what the hell they like.

Love / Indian citizen wants to marry Polish Girl and get settled there. [109]

You're hardly someone with enough life experience to make comments about my life,

so that's not a comment about my life then? ;)
you know about my age, my life experience do you?
I wouldn't be that arrogant (like you) to comment about your life, I was merely making a fair observation on your PF obsessions, which are obvious from your posts, and seem a bit weird.

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

the very complicated Polish grammar and language developed into what it is now mostly before Poland was subjected to any foreign rule (foreign rule only started in the 18th century and the language was mostly already formed)

that's my point though........Wheras English grammar has been much simplified since then, Polish has not, which could be due to political reasons, IMHO. I will have to look into it.

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

This is probably off topic.....so let me apologise in advance, although it is a natural digression IMHO.
Are the very complicated grammar systems of Cymraeg and Polish due to their being oppressed/suppressed, and therefore kept by their supporters as more pure, unlike, say, English whose grammar has been more and more simplified with wider and wider use?

Just a little linguistic thought, vaguely connected with the OP.
Thank you for all your interesting replies to my first question.

History / Mother tongue in Poland - acccording to 1931 census. [174]

Do you mean this?:

yes, I suppose so.
As we are all wiki scholars these days;

The use of the "not" was recorded in the 18th century; it was also commonly known as the 'cwstom', the 'Welsh stick' and the 'Welsh lead' (a lump of lead).[1] The practice was mentioned in the 1847 Reports of the commissioners of enquiry into the state of education in Wales. Though highly critical of many aspects of Welsh culture, some of the inspectors commented on the existence of the practice of using "nots" as being arbitrary and cruel. The report did not endorse the practice. The reports also clearly show that the vast majority of education in Welsh Wales was still conducted in Welsh.

Was the Polish language ever discouraged like this?

Well, Walsh was banned even if for a little while

'Walsh' has never been banned per se although it was strongly discouraged in schools for a time.

By the way was your father around much when you were growing up?

wtf? what kind of argument is that?
