The girls just won their quarter final match and oh my, what a thriller. In set 1 &3 we looked like kids trying to play against professionals. How the girls managed to keep their morale and win is beyond me. GO POLAND!

You think of something else. I mean the UK system (Lazarus and Jon were talking about it). What they mean is paying the minimum into the government pension system and getting much more.

Have you lived and worked in the UK for at least three years? You could get a UK state pension for a very reasonable amount even though you live in Poland.
Lazarus:
You need 35 years of payments to get the full amount. That amount is £221.20 / 1,111zl per week, so 57.772zl per year. To get that you can pay only Class 2 voluntary contributions and those £179 / 895zl per year. Yes, those numbers are correct. For paying thirty-five times 895zl, you get 1,111zl per week for life from your 67th birthday. So it takes 28 weeks to get back what you paid in, after that you're in the money. Live to 80 and you get back 751,036zl for the 31,325zl you paid in!

Am I the only person that feels disgusted with ppl talking about pension system as if it's an investment?

Life / Polish Music. [303]

Ok, now I will get a bit sentimental 😁
You know when there is that one song that is played constantly and everyone knows it, whether they like it or not? One of such songs was "Księżycowa piosenka":

For my teenage years and first heartbreaks LZY created a soundtrack:

"Niebieska sukienka" is one of the songs that have very personal memories for me:



"Agnieszka" on the other hand was sung at almost all drunk parties at one time:

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


So true :)

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


The fear is:
1- more guns means more access to guns also for criminals
2- people are often irrational and overreact. If they go for a fist fight or even knife it's usually less dangerous for those involved AND general public
3- wide guns access doesn't seem to make places safer
4- most people wouldn't be able to protect themselves with properly stored guns

And that is why you bring American perception on guns. Different countries means different culture and different perception of things. Poles have the right to choose what kind of laws they want in place

The team is undefeated in this VNL so far and the bookies favour Poland in this match.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


This statement is yet another proof of why I said you are being disingenuous.It's not about whether European dress is better.If women want to wear it I'm more than happy for them to wear it. It's about being forced to do it

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


Of course you will but others can point out how disingenuous you are.

Then wear it yourself. Or maybe you wouldn't like to be told you e.g. can't wear swimming trunks at a sea side?

So after the fist week of man playing I find things even more interesting. The coach brought in a lot of new players and is obviously building next generation team after a lot of the team is getting old and after the Olympics it's time for a change.
While less...efficient and accurate they are also more unpredictable which is kind of fun to watch.
No losses for the guys for now.
The girls are back on this week and won their last two games. They do seem to struggle though a little bit with consistency.
They do adore their coach though and that is really cool to see.

Today they play against Turkey. First set lost. Let's hope they pick up.
