Off-Topic / Polish Music. [269]

we can safely say that this thread is now dead and buried.

Why do you keep saying this? Just because it's not posted in every day doesn't mean there's no interest.

A couple from Artur Rojek who used to be the vocalist and guitarist in Polish band Myslovitz.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [280]

I feel in my fingers I feel it in my toes....

That's from a song ' Love is all around' by the Troggs. It's been covered many times. The saying 'I feel it in my bones' is an English one as far as I'm aware.

Here`s your pain, city slicker!!!!

Not much idea about this one.

What exactly and why in bones???

All I know is that it means to have a strong feeling about something. Intuition if you like. You haven't given any context as to what.

The saying comes from the notion that people with arthritis. rheumatism etc could feel pain in their bones before the onset of cold and rain, a predictor of a change in the weather.

ignore his input and continue guessing. :):):)

If he guesses correctly I can't do that or I'll be taking the credit for his answers which wouldn't be right.

he's got a silly grudge against me for some reason

Really? I'm surprised. To be honest I've lost track of who is and isn't ignoring each other. Novi periodically bores us to death with his ignore list and at the rate he's going he'll be in an echo chamber before long.

From early in the morning till late at night? Dawn to dusk so to speak.

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [178]

I got used to the cold pretty quickly but I wasn't prepared for the dark. It took a few winters before I adapted to that.

I'm not surprised coming from somewhere hot. I've never really adapted to either. I feel like I was born in the wrong country. The clocks only went back last weekend but it feels forever ago. Still getting used to cooking the evening meal with it being dark outside :(

Give me Florida!!!

I had a lovely classroom, very big

I have visions of it being extremely tidy with everything in its place with lots of little personal items on your desk. Chocolate in your desk drawer and nice stationery :)
Did you ever play the piano?

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [178]

I love the dark evenings and the dark mornings even more!

I'm guessing that you're more of a winter person Atch. I find the darkness very gloomy almost makes me feel claustrophobic. I could happily go to bed in October and wake up in April. Like a dormouse :)

I actually feel better after December 21st because I know the days are getting longer.

Used to turn off the classroom lights and just have the tree lights on and a lamp on my desk

Now I do like lights at Christmas time. I'm sure your classroom looked lovely.

This misses being kitsch by about an inch but somehow works.

The fantasy style and colours appeals to me.

Banksy's latest.

Hilarious and true!

I'm so happy that galleries that show such art still exist

He's a very good artist, I would go to see his work.

creates a sense of intimacy in some scenes - it feels like we're in the room with the person depicted in the painting.

I find some of the his more intimate paintings make me feel slightly uncomfortable. They're so realistic that looking at them almost makes me feel like I'm intruding.

I love the time change, but only the autumn one,

I am the opposite. When it gets dark so early makes me feel like the walls are closing in. I really don't like the lack of light, it's depressing. Give me long summer evenings every time.

the experimental Covid poke by definition at the time was not a vaccine.

It's a vaccine not a therapeutic as Alex Berenson tried to claim:

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]

My name is not Jesus, its johnny reb.the sinner just like every other mortal man.

So that's your excuse to say the vile things you do to forum members? The real life stalking of them that you do? Being a sinner makes everything you say and do acceptable?

You're nothing more than a hypocrite.

You don't have to be religious to be a good and decent person but then you wouldn't know anything about that.

you have no idea what the definition of a Christian even is.

It's not someone that posts filth like this:

Thats it, you done already, Lucy. 😋
(Wipe your chin)

polanda.com/off-topic/random-chat-88490/19/#msg1982808

You're completely delusional if you think that your words and actions are in any way those of a Christian.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1413]

To it looks like there are bones in it... I still say tail of some critter.

I agree with you. The only reason I mentioned stomach is because of Pawian's response to Alien thinking it was stomach. Not dark enough for oxtail and I don't know if that's even popular in Poland.

Of what animal?

So it is a stomach? Sheep?

I was reading this article yesterday which some might find interesting. The first on the list made me want to vomit as it invoked unpleasant childhood memories....

Unbelievably, beaver tails are also on the menu!

Food / What exactly is Polish Bread? [90]

I like the one with cottage cheese sweet filling.

I have only tried this once as I haven't seen it since. Absolutely delicious. Although I think it tastes more like a cake than bread.

not that great. All because of GMO crops.

I presume you mean Polish bread in the US. GMO crops are banned in Poland.
