News / Chairman Kaczyński said........ part two [24]

People and apes, rejoice!!! We have a new episode in our popular They stole series.....

"Today, at approximately 2:10 p.m., police officers from the KSP Road Traffic Department on duty in the area of ​​Aleja Róż were approached by a man who asked them to intervene in relation to the driver of a Skoda parked at the height of property no . 2. According to the man, the front side windows of the said vehicle had been covered with tinting foil in violation of the regulations."

"The police measured the light transmittance using the ELHOS Glas Meter EGM-1 device, which showed 10% light transmittance in the left front window and 35% in the right front window. The regulation states, however, that light transmittance must be at the level of 70%. In connection with the above, the police were forced to retain the driver's registration certificate, banned him from driving and fined the man PLN 100, "


To retrieve the car papers, the owner has to visit a vehicle diagnostic station with proper windows and undergo an examination.

ice cream called Calypso in different flavours

It is worth mentioning that:
Calypso ice cream has been made since 1959 by the same company Lodmor located in Gdańsk. AmaSSSSSSSSing!

Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk also comes from Gdańsk. Wow!

Local inhabitants were lucky to have a constant access to Calypso.

just threatening it.

Yes, darling, you should ponder deeply on what Atch told you. One day Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk might want to teach you a lesson and his lawyers will find you and file a defamation suit. In America. How much will you have to pay in damages if convicted??? Do you possess those millions already in your account or you will have to sell the house with this infamous basement and all other property of yours..... :):):) hahahaha

The best thing you can do now is relax on libel in your next posts. Also, beg the Staff to remove all your libelous posts, one by one. Not for free, of course. First you need to make a huuuuge donation to the forum.

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [233]

Trump mentioned Hungarian Prime Minister during the debate with Kamala Harris:"One of the most respected people. Called a strong man. He is a tough person. A wise prime minister of Hungary."

God bless America, if the candidate for president of the United States relies on Viktor Orban who has introduced soft dictatorship in Hungary.
That is why decent Poles/Polesses support Kamala.

Love / Polish women and fertility [28]

Stability. People didn't have to worry about job stability or basic life necessities

Strange but I have to disagree. The latest peak of births in Poland was in 1980s, during martial law, which you could hardly call times of stability - shortages of basic products, queues, regime`s brutality. Do you remember that nearly 1 million people emigrated from that stable paradise in 1980s??
The previous peak took place right after WW2 which also weren`t such peaceful times.

The answer is different - there were more births in communist times coz the society was patriarchal - hugely oriented on satisfying males` needs and disregarding women`s. Women were dominated and often had no choice but to bear a few kids.

Educated women realise they have been exploited by shrewd men to do everything while male masters sit on a comfy sofa and expect full service. No more!

Exactly!

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [77]

Wow, amasing controversy.
White-tailed Eagle, or Birkut
The white-tailed eagle is our largest bird of prey and one of the largest birds in Poland. It does not belong to the same genus as eagles and differs from them in many ways. For example, it is largely fish-eating. It owes its name to the white feathers on its tail. Many believe that it is therefore our heraldic bird, but there are doubts about this.

I did not call

Yes, you did. You said ALL your propaganda and ALL is always plural. You can`t say that your ALL referred to my sources coz I provided only one source in post 46. Your ALL referred to our sources combined. Ha! It is obvious you called leftie Feniks and me!

liberal leans slightly to the left,

You got your directions wrong. I am a liberal who leans to the right in economic issues. Ha!
I feel better off now

Sorry, we don`t believe this assertion. You will say anything now to avoid losing an argument.

Milo, for Goddess sake, stop arguing. Kneel down and apologise to Feniks.

Exports

Exports schmexports. We are talking about common people`s life standard which hasn`t improved as it was promised by brexit charlatans. It has become even worse.

All your "Leftie Propaganda"

Don`t call Feniks a leftie. She isn`t. She is just a decent British woman who feels cheated on by brexit conmen.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [657]

But still seeing them at a close distance is an interesting experience.

Today, when I went out to the garden, I had a strange encounter with two birds - a pidgeon first and later a blackbird. They were staying on the ground and didn`t fly away when I approached, like 1 metre away. The pidgeon was sitting on the gate leading to the orchard while the blackbird was under a raspberry bush when I was picking fruit. They were totally fearless.
I was in deep shock.
Were they the souls of the previous owners of the farm for whom I regularly say prayers, even today, and they wanted to show me I do the right thing for them?

Your news is outdated. They are not plans, it is reality achieved already this year.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [178]

a red count is somehow traitorous

Possible but not necessarily included in the meaning. A red count was a nobility member who cherished democratic socialist ideas, especially when he owned property which brought profit, e.g, a giant farm or factory etc. He treated people working there in a decent way, offering them a lot of benefits, trying to improve the living and working conditions etc. Contrary to non red counts who exploited their workers and ignored their misery.

Na drugą nogę?

Yes. And when is it used???
