News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


Check your stats before you make insane posts like that.

When you have done that please come back and tell us how many illegal migrants live in the USA and how many live in the UK.

Have you not noticed that Trump does that too?

Yeah as an inferior partner......


You could not easily trade with a Fascist or Communist Europe....DUH!


Europe makes better quality goods than Asia and the USA can't make anything anymore that is cheaper than buying from Asia......even your beloved pick ups are mainly Asian! Drop your tailgate down and serve up a Chinese takeaway!

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


I did and to be fair, it is probably the best video you have posted to PF.
However, some of the stats she quotes are not just questionable, but are outright lies!
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels and London are NOT over 50% populated by recent migrants from Africa and the Middle East!
Besides her obvious lies, she was right though.

American cakes in general seem far too over the top for me.
Keep it basic, keep it tasty and don't add too many distractions to it.

Ok, you will say that I have never tried Cheese cake from Juniors.
But I have tried many Cheese Cakes from across the world and as delicious as some of them were, Polish has always been the best!

Life / Barking Dogs in Poland [65]

@pawian

The barking dogs are one of my pet hates of Poland(Pardon the unintended pun).
Most Poles seem to have no idea about treating dogs well and training them.
They are just a defence system for them and not really pets.
I think it's disgraceful.

Because America needs Europe for trade.Simple.
That was the main reason America joined WW1 and WW2..... late, but it took them a while to work it out.......

Life / Polish Music. [303]

With all the "Pop and Rap Music" happening in Poland, people forget that Poland also has a very active and very good Prog Rock and Metal Scene going on too.



Probably Poland's greatest ever Prog Rock band..... Riverside....



I would class this as "Prog/Metal" and it is at least as good as any of the stuff coming out of the "Anglosphere".......



I'll end tonight with an oldie from 1979 (Communist times!)





Oh come on!The flute features at the very beginning of the song and at the end of it.For the rest of the song it is at best a tiny part of the song.
The main player is the Sax towards the end.
Funny how we all hear music differently.... :-)

More good Polish Rock Music.......

My Polish parents used to grow it in the garden and it was added to soups, often with hard boiled eggs.
My sister and I would go to the garden and eat it raw, because we loved the bitter, lemony taste!

A very silly but fun Polish Pop song.

Very few I suspect.The difference between Polish Americans and Anglo Poles is quite acute.Most Polish Americans are talking about great grandparents or even further back.
Anglo Poles mainly came to the UK during or after WW2.So much more recent, even my kids had Polish grandparents!

@Lenka
Obviously not filmed in Poland.I somehow missed the flute in there but heard plenty of good Sax.

Not a bad song though!

I have followed Mela Koteluk for many years now because I love her voice and music.
So I am just posting songs from her tonight.This song title roughly translates as "Why trees say nothing".



This song title translates as "Walk Away".


This song was the title track to her debut album and translates as "Parachute".


This is my last post from Mela Koteluk tonight, I struggle to understand the point of her lyrics, no, that is not because of my poor Polish, but because the lyrics are rather obscure, but perhaps they are meant to be.The song title means "Invisible" and the extensive use of red and white in the video adds to the mystery about what this song is about.Whatever!It's a great song!

Bad move if you live in a safe area of America.

Why move from American safety to a potential war zone?

Whilst I take on board most of what you say,
Imane Khelif is much more male than female, even though she was born a woman.
