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


In my opinion they are just more reserved with strangers or people they don't know. I would rather that than fake smiles and have a nice day crap. Personally, I think Poland Expat is just another troll on a rant.

So you're talking about a sh!tty stick or have I got it wrong?

I don't know. Every stick has two ends is the same as saying there are 2 sides to a coin or 2 sides to every story.

Not much idea with just one word. You can stir things up with a stick. We would say to stir the pot but pretty sure it's not that.

I know and I have wracked my brains for one but I can't think what it is :(

No. There are a couple of coastal paths near where I live and I usually walk in the early morning to avoid people. I also go to Dartmoor National Park quite often and I tend to pick the more remote areas to walk in:

For kids to make them laugh or say something other than tomato, then the game is over. It's also a way of indirectly not answering questions which I'm guessing is the adult version.


I can't think of anything other than clingy. As in to be like a limpet.

Reading a good book with a nice cup of tea, summer and light nights, walking for miles without seeing another soul, travelling, art museums, the smell of freshly mown grass, baking cakes, Cirque du Soleil, listening to music, decent coffee with a nice slab of cake. That'll do for starters.

What context? Clingy, persistent, viscous?

Is this a special occasion as such and the phones are being collected so that everyone can actually talk to each other without distraction? A wedding or Wigilia for example. From the little I can see of clothing, the men are wearing shoes and trousers so it appears to be a formal setting. Either that or maybe teachers confiscating student phones?

Interesting. In England days of the week are always capitalized. Didn't realize they weren't in Poland.

Lol. Every question is answered with the word 'tomato'.

Does this have something to do with a children's game?
