Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [743]

This isn't 'your' thread.It is a PF thread regarding shares, something we are discussing here.

One to discuss might be Boeing; they obviously just dropped due to today's crash. Not a good investment at the moment due to uncertainty over sales and the doomed 737 Max however long term, I'd buy.

And what is a 'riddle thread' and why would you want to trash it?

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [229]

This newspaper said this:

"It all happened so quickly," Mr Ramesh, who sustained injuries to his face, chest and feet, said. It is not clear how he survived, but parts of the plane appeared to be intact after the crash.

"When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me," he told the Hindustan Times from hospital.

A sad thing is that his brother was on the plane too and presumably didn't survive.

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [229]

A miracle. That sometimes happens.

A horrible crash, and nobody knows yet how many people on the ground died. The media said it crashed into a Doctors' hostel.

Think about it.

Or try to.

News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [993]


We're talking about Poles (and I had nasty xenophobic comments made against me there by someone who assumed I was one). What they do about others is their own wisdom or folly. Anyway, give it a generation or so. Not that the native-born Dutch are rushing to do the crap jobs. In a way, it's a toxic combination, a country ruled by organised crime being settled by people who generally do it better than them.


That's on much the same level as those titheads who used to very earnestly tell me that antisemitism in Poland exists because of the Ubeks, as if nobody had ever been a bigot before. The Dutch (especially in the south) have been judgemental since the waters receded from Noah's Flood.


Come on mate, that's an extreme religious fundamentalist youtube channel. What next, "Scientology Today"?

Is that a problem?

Do Poles in the Netherlands not pay taxes or use shops then? Does their labour not contribute either?

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


Badly for him, given a. how well the police there are trained and b. it's not Wyoming where the nearest response team is 50 miles away.


I doubt any of us have heard anyone there (except the occasional farmer) say this was anything other than the right move.

News / European News and Poland Thread - part 4 [993]

Closer to anything relevant, the Dutch government has collapsed again.

The problem is in their southern 'bible belt', the part most hostile to people from other places, including Poland, who've moved there for work.

He's got this place to be an arsehole in, at least.

To be fair to him, he was pad to be a twat in that role so he was just doing his job.

He's done reasonably well in Poland as both PM and President.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]


He's just won his confidence vote, and of course he has several more years experience being president than Nawrocki since of course he held that role.

The one that had the sex doll in also had a load of Marks and Spencer curtains. Not edgy and modern and not really suited to Polish tastes in decor (or window sizes) but very good quality and would probably look great in the right room.


When I was young and poor, I found a very good suit in one, would have cost a fortune to buy new and looked like it hadn't been worn.

Ours don't routinely carry any sort of gun. And they aren't all men.

Not quite that many (despite lurid headlines whenever one happens), and not nearly as bad as mass shootings.

Some progress finally in the investigation into the murder of Izabela Zablocka.

Ms Zablocka came to the UK in 2009 from Poland and was living in the Normanton area of Derby, but lost contact with her family in August 2010, when she was 30, Derbyshire Police said.

Anna Podedworna, 39, of Boyer Street, Derby, had been charged with murder, preventing a lawful burial and perverting the course of justice.

Police launched the murder inquiry two weeks ago and human remains, believed to be those of Ms Zablocka, have since been found in the garden of a property in Princes Street, Normanton.

The very best thing. Not too hot, not too cold, plenty of milk or cream and very very strong

Everyone likes cats. A nice thing about Warsaw is that people feed them.

Which is of course why the Auschwitz Memorial have strongly criticised this. The scale and horrors of the Shoah were so vile that they speak for themselves.


Quite. They do not need the oxygen of publicity. All they are is some social media crap anyway.

It just means a small cut.

Quite a lot of words in Polish seem to come from English.

For some guns they don't even have to have a psychological assessment before being able to buy.

Hence a 22 year old with issues being able to get h9ld of one.

Austria has shamefully lax gun control.
