Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

Look at the photo in post 31 - due to the variety of colours, it is one of my favourite pics from the farm. :):)

Currently, I am still picking red and yellow ones coz mine are of repeating fructification. Roughly, a gallon a week. I see their prices in the market, we save a lot of money. :):)

Order from the sweetest:
yellow
black
purple
red.

Those yellow ones are already sweet when they are half ripe.

PS. I am picking our first mini kiwi fruit ever. Delicious! Sweet, soft, a little sour. The only problem is they ripen at random so the fruit in the same bunch can be either soft or hard. I read they fall down when ripe but I don`t want to wait so I have to check fruit seperately.

PS 2. Funny. The cauliflowers I planted in April/May and which refused to grow in summer due to high temperatures are developing like crazy now. The same with certain varieties of kohlrabi and lettuce.

PS3 While going for walks in the area, we passed fields of potatoes and took close looks (funny, as a child I was never interested in examining such silly stuff). I decided to grow some next year.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

No, Milo, you didn`t check out what Atch was talking about. Due to the double intake, a result of PiS deform, high schools are congested. When panic breaks out, students will trample on each other like a herd of gnu. Look at the photo above. It has nothing to do with climbing trees and other stuff you teach kids to become tough for life. Would you like to be a father of a student who is crushed to death in the overcrowded corridor?

When we visited it in 2011, it has just been retrieved by the old owners` family and renovated but they hadn`t managed to furnish the interiors so it looked empty inside. The exterior was impressive, though.

The same problem you have when confronted with different views of posters here. And don`t call Ziem names coz you are the lousiest ciul here.


You don`t know about Brzechwa, the same applies to other authors. Your knowledge is close to zero, Mr Expat.


Prove the photo of a Polish school was manipulated, Mr Expat.
Ha!

That block of flats resemblance is really disgusting to someone who knows how it looked before.


Whenever I see that castle, it reminds me of that Indian Taj Mahal. Also, I recall the old game Civilisation in which you could choose the style for your Palace.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

I am sorry, I didn`t add that I grouped a few quotes from the article into one paragraph. But it is short so they are still conspicuous.

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

Sorry, that is a direct translation. :):)

But the rules here are less cruel than in Photo Riddle thread - when sb doesn`t know, we should explain immediately.

Do rzeczy means sth is good, worth taking, buying etc. . Also sb. She looks do rzeczy means attractive.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

It is unbelievable but for real: there is a special site devoted to Smoleńsk air crash.

smolenskcrashnews.com/what-is-donald-tusk-interpreter-magdalena-fitas-dukaczewska-afraid-of.html

I found it after looking for info on today`s second ruling of the Polish court which annuled PiS prosecutors` decision to interrogate the intepreter who took part in Tusk - Putin meetings after the crash.

BTW, do you know any other democratic country where interpreters mustn`t keep secret about what they heard and translated from and to politicians, even heads of states?

The site is heavily partisan - communists propagandists used to write in that style long ago, today it has been successfully adopted by PiS in Poland and probably Am Poles on their pathetic site:

Check it out:
Donald Tusk's interpreter is hysterizing. What is Magdalena Fitas-Dukaczewska afraid of? Madam Magdalena Fitas-Dukaczewska is clearly unaccustomed to being treated as an ordinary citizen, not a celebrity. Is this a coincidence? I do not think so" - states hysterical Dukaczewska. The last name of her husband - the former head of the communist military intelligence services, WSI, no longer works like a magic spell.

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

KOL had absurd humour which I always appreciated. And great actors, too. The paradox is that it was critical about the system, but communists still allowed it to be aired (at late evening hours). Today it would be impossible in PiS television full of primitive propaganda.

Staff, thanks for reminding us about this thread. To be honest , I nearly forgot about it.

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

No, it isn`t one turn, all our glasses except champagne ones have thick brims and it takes a few turns. Besides, I roll a thick base for cutting I don`t have time to fekk with a silly glass. :):)

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

Not so best. It isn`t as sharp as a cutter and I waste time.

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

It is funny she uses the glass to cut out the base. Me too but whenever I do it, I promise myself to buy that tin cutter and then I forget.

Judging by the dark content, are they meat or cabbage and mushroom?

No, it means to rebuke sb.

I am going to gush/squirt with you. What does it mean?

I had my feet in fruit when I made my home wine so it is not a problem.


I never wind up people. It is against my style.

As for Kaprys, she advised doing it in jars and yes, I found such pics, too. I must try it one day.

We joined that stupidity immediately when capitalism was introduced in early 1990s.

Yes, you know it is 10, but millions of other customers lacking your imagination believe it is still 9. If it didn`t work, sellers wouldn`t use that trick.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [492]


Of course, I meant those several millions only, not all Poles.

Let`s change the topic coz we have had enough politics for a while in this thread.

Latest scandal is that the most popular discount chain sells products from other countries tagged as Polish - first potatoes (from Germany), now apples (from Portugal) Polish Produce Trading Association protests and sends its activists to replace foreign stuff with real Polish one.

And that is sad coz it means Poles are going to the dogs - they are selling out their morals for money from PiS, as maf said. Prostitutes!

I thought female hands are not as good as the feet of a heavy adult man, especially in peasant garb.

PiS human resources are special, including Parliament Guards. What barbarism. PiS has been choosing such guys on purpose and they are everywhere. My God, Poland will have to recuperate for decades after PiS rule.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [492]


Yes, it seems that PiS is doing their best to excel in scandals and beat former PO/PSL government. Once we ridiculed PO for baby octopuses and an expensive watch, today it is time to make fun of PiS pimps, among others. :)):
