He knows what to do and how to do it.


A lot of small business owners and contract workers are very disenchanted now and ready for change. Plus private landlords who've seen their income vanish.

That's usually how it goes in other countries, the UK and US among them.

This election here is already different from the ones that have gone before.


I don't think they will.

There are strange things happening to the economy right now; if the effects are truly felt before the election, it will make a difference.

Real Estate / Economical room by the month in Lublin? [24]

Depends on the flat (for example how the heating's billed). Usually several hundred for water/gas/electric, internet and heating, especially in winter.

Real Estate / Economical room by the month in Lublin? [24]

The ads on Gumtree say 1500 to 2000 for a two room flat, 1000 to 1500 for a 1 room flat. You may find some for less or for more depending on the condition of the flat, the size of the room(s) and the area.

Remember that all advertised flat prices in Poland are 'for negotiation' and the actual price to pay is 100 or 200 lower.

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term renting contracts-residential in Poland [26]


Same here. These are exceptional times, and we'll all survive if we work together.

Sometimes landlords have to take a small loss. If someone loses a few months rent, they still gain on capital appreciation.

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term renting contracts-residential in Poland [26]


A lot of that in Poland right now; people who rent somewhere in Warsaw through the week no longer have a reason to be in Warsaw and are just abandoning the flats.

One of the strangest airports I know. The sooner the new one opens the better!

Ukraine might have something to say about that.


And industrial cities, far more valuable.

Classifieds / Need a Polish wedding caterer for january 2021 [3]

These people in Balham cater Polish weddings. I don't know if they're any good or not, however they seem fairly long-established and are well-known. They also have a Facebook page with reviews for the food etc.

No such thing.


The infrastructure works well here, perhaps not as well as in your country, however it's still fine. Any long term problems however are ones that have developed for years, including during the disastrous PiS mayorality a few years ago.

The guy's popular here, and I expect he will get a decent share of the votes. Enough to unseat Duda? Time will tell, however it would be good for Poland to have Traszkowski in office. He's enough of a strategist to be playing the long game.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


No such thing.


You're the one who keeps mentioning sex. I don't recall the election candidate raising sex as a topic.

Mayor Trzaskowski has done very well in Warsaw. What exactly do you mean by ideological catastrophe?

USA, Canada / Church recommendation in or near Traverse City, Michigan? [20]

And the OP still hasn't had much of an answer. I'd like to help, however it's not my area of expertise or part of the world.

Off-Topic / DALMATIA - How much Poles love Dalmatia ? [123]


It exists, it's independent, they voted not to be in a union with Serbia.

Off-Topic / DALMATIA - How much Poles love Dalmatia ? [123]


Indeed they are. The protests are about electoral fraud, corruption and ownership of religious buildings.

Nothing about joining up with Serbia; they are Independent now.

USA, Canada / Church recommendation in or near Traverse City, Michigan? [20]

Remember we don't know how much English he speaks. He may well have had a bad experience somewhere too.

Classifieds / Polish wedding with Polish and Yoruba speaking party or wedding (may be also English) host [9]


There isn't really the same tradition of wedding hosts that exists in West Africa. You could contact one of the Polish community associations to see if they know anybody. Or the British Polish Chamber of Commerce to see if they know of a cabaret compère or wedding organiser (or just to see if they have any suggestions).

This is key; a new direction for Poland. PiS will handle this badly.


He's not getting any younger or healthier; doubtless challengers are discreetly lining up.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


That's how Poles got rid of PiS when JK was premier. Interesting if it leads to a non-PiS president.

USA, Canada / Church recommendation in or near Traverse City, Michigan? [20]

What sort of protestant? There are many.

Life / A shop where I can buy washing up gloves in size XL in Poland? [4]

I don't use them myself, however Amazon UK deliver to Poland and have them for £3.99. In xl and xxl.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


All politicians 'spew platitudes', the PiSuarzy preeminently amongst them. He doesn't though. I wonder why you think his promises are 'empty', especially since his track record as Mayor of Warsaw has been excellent.


Doesn't actually exist.

A more accurate point is that he isn't obsessed with sexuality. Unlike PiS.

He's head and shoulders above Duda. And yes, he does certainly know how to do PR and how to come across on TV.

Hołota roughly translates as "rabble".

Life / Solar energy in Poland [22]


Except they don't, of course.

Funny though to watch some lame-brained person try to pretend that sustainable energy isn't hugely on the rise..

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


So in fact 'enjoying' something that isn't actually happening.

And the 'election' that PiS were so determined to hold hasn't in fact happened now, has it...

Language / Trying to interpret a letter from Poland [3]

ul. Śmiała 1 = No. 1 Śmiała Street. m3 = mieszkania (apartment) 3. So the address in English is Apartment 3, No. 1 Śmiała Street.

Ul. Śmiała is in the southern part of Żoliborz in Warsaw, almost in the city centre, you can find it on Google Maps. I know it well; it's a pleasant part of town. Quite an expensive area nowadays,

Don't worry about the 32, that signifies the local post office, a few streets away on ul. Filarecka. Now Warsaw addresses no longer list the local post office, There's a system like postal/zip codes instead.

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


For you yes, especially since you have a. nothing sensible to say, and b. are trying to take the thread off topic.

And it still doesn't affect the verified fact that most people here support EU membership.

I don't see much in your post; just a reactionary approach to sustainable energy.
