Real Estate / Renting in Poland - tenants' rights? [51]


30 years ago you could threaten him with sending a gang of Russian tough guys to his place. Today it doesn` work anymore. hahaha
So, you can go to court but that will cost you time and probably some money too if you decide to hire a lawyer. However, if he loses the case, the lawyer costs will be refunded to you.


The court will certainly take this entry into a serious consideration.

Genealogy / The last name is Krzywoszyja. Help? Am I Polish? [30]

Yes, your landlords gave you that surname behind your back, while you were toiling in the fields like slaves, doing mandatory pańszczyzna service. Fortunately, we got rid of those leeches who sucked your precious blood - there are no more wicked landlords in Poland and all people are equal. God bless democratic Poland.

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [470]


Black seemed to me the most exciting colour when I got my first cat in early 1990s - a female cat who later gave birth to another black one which I kept. They lived for 18 years.

Today I have changed my preferences - I consider ginger ones the most attractive.

Uff, at last! hahaha Yes, the First Holy Communion and those Highlanders had been invited, too and came in traditional costumes to make a bigger impression.

Why did it take so long???

Life / What do Poles really think about cats? [470]

Jon, and all cat lovers. As I told you, I was planning to see the black cat which one of my students wanted to give away. I paid them a visit and took the cat - it is 2 months old, all black. My student called him Diego - tomorrow I must ask her if she was thinking about Diego Zorro. I quite like that name, though first I intended to call him Koks..

Our two old cats are stupified, they are shunning a closer contact with the novice, I feared some violence but for the time being it didn`t occur.

As usual, I made a surprise to my family - all our cats have been one.

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

Effortless. I replanted one rootstock in several places all over the garden and they grow fine.

Let`s not forget decorative sunflowers

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [160]


Why do you mention money at all? How about a lack of a father? A male happily produces offspring but when it comes to taking care and rearing them, he is not longer so heroic.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

Yes, alcohol.

You can obtain/achieve sth but it will cost you dearly?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

Not a wedding. And it is a family event coz all family members come to celebrate it. And it is nationwide. And in May.

No, it is not underfloor heating coz the worker is installing pipes in the overhead cupboard. Besides, such heating has electric cables, not pipes. Sth else.

Genealogy / Last name - Murzyn [33]


Which is amazing exactly????

it talked
it was about whites
it was about Poles
it was about people
it was about people called Murzyn
jon said sth
he said Moor.

yes, guys, stick to the topic, please and comment on my cat`s name - Murzyn. Was it inappropriate in 1970s?

Now I am arranging a new cat for us - a student of mine has 3 to offer - one is black and I am going to see it tomorrow.

Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]

Yes, we climbed Tarnica on a really hot day ---- I was exhausted and sweated like a monkey. The last few hundred metres are a steep slope with steps carved in the trail, they made climbing even harder.

Yes, that is Winnie Hut shelter in winter.

Yes, the stag lived there for a few years and sometimes made an appearace to tourists We were lucky.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


No, I meant your post from 12th July.


Yes, of course. But I also consume a lot of carcinogens killers at the same time so there is balance in nature.


You mean joints are affected? Fortunately, I have a remedy for ot, too - my amazing amber spirit - all aches in joins or bones vanish after 2 days - I recommend it sincerely to you.

Genealogy / Last name - Murzyn [33]

We had a male cat in 1970s, all black, and his name was Murzyn.

Midnight was closing in, I wanted to enable johhny to get out of his den and participate in the forum for a while, that is why I was in a rush.

Yes, I am always infatuated with decent intelligent people.

Dear Chemik, you have already mentioned the proper answer to pipe issue. It was by accident, so now think which of them is correct.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


By pure accident. They were chasing Hannibal. Not Lecter, of course.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]


No, don`t touch the red button! And if you do and then you see the light at the end of the tunnel, don`t walk to it!


Yes, exactly. So, just like a wedding, this event is a strictly family one. Those goralenvolk are sb`s family!!


Please, skip conventional thinking in Western terms! This is Poland! Anything can happen here. hahaha


Of course not made of metal - they are white - metal pipes are seldom white.


Slowly, slowly, you`re getting warmer, warmer.

Hey, what a hint! Did you notice it?

Oops, two minutes to midnight!! We must be quick! Iron Maiden is chasing us!

Language / Polish sayings [237]

In Poland the saying goes: a man who is only a little better looking than a devil is handsome enough.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]


No, wait!!! We can still talk!!!


And, who mostly attends weddings?


Yes, pipes. Those mysterious cables are pipes. Hurray, pipes!


Try to liberate yourself from conventional thinking - remember, this is Poland, the country of Mrożek! High or low, it doesn`t matter really.

But still, it is not heating.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]


No! When I see how people suffer, I melt like wax! I feel terrible now!
I would tell you but it is too easy.


Nope, we already said they are too fat for that.


Yes, they are a little significant, a small curiosity, but only in the context of the whole event which is much more important than those gorale. Please, one more effort. Hint - you can see 3 seperate groups of people - who/what are they in each group?


Hmm, that might give you a hint. Think of the oven, think of the oven. What does it share with those would-be cables???

Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]


As far as I remember, that is the trail that goes along the mountain top called Połonina Wetlińska - it leads from the shelter called WInnie the Pooh`s House. The walk is a pleasant one, without steep slopes except the last metres where you need to climb giant stone steps to reach the peak Osadzki Wierch.

Tarnica is a real torture, though.

Yes, I can see it and I am so awfully sorry to torture you with it but as I said, it is not a big deal for native Poles so I am still waiting for their response.


TO ALL POLES! :):):) Look again - there are only 3 goralenvolk there - the rest are ordinary people in formal clothes. It means those gorals are accidental guys. Just a pure coincidence.


Yes, cables which aren`t cables. The size limits for photos here makes it impossible to get a better quality view of those cables. So, we must engage our Sherlock Holmes` deduction skills. Now think hard - if they aren`t cables - what else can they be???? We know they are white and long and made of.............. and are used to .............. to the house.:):)

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [160]


That was only an introduction to a much more meaningful revelation, namely about a stone which, first rejected by builders, became a crucial cornerstone. That was Jesus - initially rejected by people, gave foundation for a world-shattering phenomenon - Christianity.

Love / WHAT TRAITS DO POLISH MEN LOOK FOR IN A FEMALE? [34]

hahahaha Nope, my would-be wife was enough for me.

Yes!


I read all stories as a boy and then read the best ones to my kids. Good reading, indeed.

Off-Topic / Are Polish Christians here? [160]

After the churches were open after the quarantine, we started going to the evening mass for one main reason - there are fewer people. That is why - see you after the service.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]


Yes, reading ABARTH, a kind of racing Fiat car.


Nope.


It`s without a fixed day, always in May.
You strive for 3 people and you can be excused but I am surprised that native Poles still haven`t offered an answer. It is so obvious.

Ok, a hint - I haven`t shown the main element of this holiday, coz it would be too easy. Here you see only the backstage, sort of.

Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]

We still haven`t reached the last step on the trail - Bieszczady Mountains, for decades considered the wildest part of Poland.
