Nope, it means to bore sb to death with silly, stupid, uninteresting talk, often with reproachful context.

I didn`t win sth (e..g,a stomach in the book) in the lottery.

Of course, let`s not forget it was built by/for aristocratic Germans in 19th century, not Poles.


Survived the WW2 in a good condition except the interiors damaged by the Red Army troops. I tried to find some detailed info about it but it is too general. We may presume that woodwork which you like so much is post WW2.

The short period of the Soviet control caused significant damage to the castle's internal fittings in comparison to the minor damage caused by World War II.

Yes, I was the so called water boy scout coz we had boats and sailed in the Mazurian Lakes. But I didn `t like sailing as it was so boring, I have always loved camping and forests much more.

Not so fast, darling. It is obvious you know nothing about the arrangements between governments. Read more about it. :):)

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]

If Polish men are rude to other men, as you say, it is natural - other men don`t have a vagina. I am surprised you seem to lack insight into such a simple thing .

Yes about swindling. Yes, it isn`t nice but it still functions, although more and more rarely.
To gypsy means to lie.

to poison to sb.

First of all, stop stuttering.


Exactly. I like this situation a lot - all loser scum who had used to occupy benches in housing estates or parks, especially so called blockers, seem to have emigrated to the UK. Thanks to it, Polish streets have been cleaned off many moronic savages. Life in Poland has become better.

Thank you, UK. Keep up good work.

The case is simple: hold is trzymać physically in hands or arms, keep is trzymać in more abstract contexts, like a pet at home. I was tired.

Yes, of course, you are right with this holding. I am already tired, I need to go to sleep earlier tonight, I am spending too much time here. :):) Due to the school deform, I have to get up at 6 am.

Goodnight.

Yes, I think I saw her. One of the therapy points was to draw or paint the images of the castle:

It is a song from a known film from 1960 based on a known book. I have always liked that melody. When a boy scout, we used to sing it at the campfire.

Life / Do you know these characters from Polish movies? [223]


But I saw one scene and the acting was stupid and unnatural. Besides, there is a kid. I am biased against Polish films with small kids coz they are lousy actors most of the time. Besides, I hate stories about naughty kids and their patient carers. It reminds me of my job too much.

That is why I will never watch that silly film. :):)


Will I get some dry bread for my horse? hahaha

Reminds me my boy`s years in the communist housing estate. Every Sunday a peasant riding a horse cart yelled at 7 am: Potaaatoooees!!! I fekking hated the guy - if I had been bigger, I would have strangled him alive and fed the lousy carcass to his horse. :):)

Nope, it had been devastated much earlier. What got destroyed in WW2 was only two simple buildings built in 19th century. Historians claim the restored castle is ahistorical. Sort of Disneyland for the mass tourist with zero knowledge. :)

There is a great site about Polish castles, with very detailed commentary and description

  Two buildings before the war

  See what was reconstructed from the scratch after a few centuries of no existence.

Yes.

Two meanings with one word:

to gypsy sth out of sb.

Yes, it it is still Crossaxe. Nice.


This one is controvercial to historians coz it was reconstructed from a scratch and they claim it was all made up.

Again you are either lying or misinformed. Apart from the main troll hate group which consisted of about a dozen people there were also other which haven`t been revealed yet. .

Yes and even worse - make a fool of sb.

Bigger things were restored from the scratch so technically Crossaxe restoration isn`t a problem.

Yes, in 2007.

I read rumours about the plan to restore the place.

This prysnąć actually means to start running away.

As for a bomb, no, the opposite - it meant an F. Just like the barrel (in a rifle, e.g.)

to make a balloon of sb.

It seems you don`t know what you are talking about coz you are unable to provide one true fact that PiS trolls and haters wrote about independent judges. Mr Expat, do some research before you start talking about Poland coz it is obvious you are completely lost.

Besides, I also detect you are trying to take the responsibility off PiS actions, while it was them who gave the green light for the troll factory.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]

The last Polish king was deposed in 1795. Returning after 224 years? :):)

Why not? When the UK falls apart after Brexit, England and Wales will be too small to accomodate the whole Family so Poland might invite one of British royals to come and reign here.
