Make sure you have a pocket full of Groszy, if you happen to need the W.C. around the Wawel Castle area. Don't try sneaking in either, I did. The old Babcia caught me ( if that's not weird enough) she won't take $1either, even if its worth 7 extra flushes. lol

His best bet is to find a Mcdonalds. They have free toilet paper and much cleaner:)

They both are good looking and easy on the eyeballs. Much better than that anorexic looking Taylor Swift, but all their music is for little teens anyhow.


Na, remember the old saying " A fool and his money are soon parted". Many of these players go broke and wind up being bartenders at your local sports bar as well.

Im not watching another SB until the Bears are in it! LOL

Johnny, the older Ive become, the less I care about professional sports and over paid mentally deficient athletes.


That just re affirmed my disliking of these commercialized events and stupid athletes.


I supposed if youre a tween and like the music of J Ho and Shirka, its a way for them to trick you into watching.

How about if we take the top 10 football AND Basketball players and put them on Jeopardy or a spelling bee? College graduates my ass!

Aye, what a lovely Shamrock Green color, must have been Irish expats that designed it. A must for St. Paddys day! LOL

Have you heard about "Slav Squatting" in Tracksuits yet?

If you haven't heard of this internet phenomenon, check it out, totally hilarious! Get your Adaias jogging pants on for this! lol

diggitmagazine.com/articles/squatting-slavs-culture-stereotype-or-just-meme

New counterculture or fashion statement? Im really glad, I haven't seen many Poles doing the "squat". Yet, once in awhile I'll see someone dressed up in an Adidas tracksuit at the mall. The 1970`s wants their clothes back!! LOLOL

Slav Squat
"squatting with heels on ground in a tracksuit while eating semechki and drinking vodka. Legend has it that if u do this long enough u will activate the third eye of the Slav"

News / Coal-Powered Poland Refuses to "Go Green". EU Ain't Happy. [304]


When I see posters claiming they are going to expat themselves and move to Poland. It's clear, they haven't been there during the winter and theyre in for a big stinky surprise.

Many Poles burn their garbage; plastic bottles etc. in their home furnaces, you can smell this in the evenings, even in the villages. Poles must be some of the dumbest people on earth, don't they know that burning plastic is bad for your health? I asked my friend why they do this, she said it's because they don't want to pay the 10-15zl for garbage pick-up, but they can buy vodka every few days.



When I see the Eurps bragging how much money they have and NATO hasn't been fully funded, its time for the US taxpayers to demand we get out!

I have to agree with you. He did those silly comedy movies afterwards like " Meet the Fockers" and Bad Grampa" a bad rip off of "Bad Santa"


Casio was good, it was prominently Joe Pesci though.

Off-Topic / Random movies (not Polish) proposed by forum users [95]


Its hard for me to watch anything with DiNiro anymore coz he turned into such a Libtard douche bag.

His best movies are Taxi Driver, Godfather or Raging Bull.

Hes a good one to watch Stanley Kubrick`s "A Clockwork Orange"

Viddy well, Droogies!

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]


Same here and I find very interesting to see the differences in the way we live.

I like how they build homes in Poland, nice and solid, all brick instead of wood.


More rubbish from the old decrepit UK where the sun seldom shines, lol


Hahaha, but would they really notice or would it blend in with the rest of the stank.....

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]

Heres an interesting article...."Bacteria's Paradise" or British Carpets

I never see a carpeted bathroom in America. However, there is plenty of evidence about the popularity of carpeted bathrooms in the UK.

"As slippers are unusual in Great Britain, having a soft carpet while you are sitting in the "throne", make us feel like kings and queens."

"You become a royalty person when visiting a British carpeted bathroom"

madeinbritainblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/bacterias-paradise-or-british-carpets/

Does it really make you feel closer to Royalty????

Yet, nobody wants it or has purchased it, but in The UK sales are booming or should we say stinkin!

Renew your bathroom with our extraordinary range of bathroom carpets.

The British have an obsession to carpet. Carpet can be seen in entering the British airport in pubs and administrative buildings, to bathrooms.

Why so lovely?

Wasn't he a drunk and drug attic that died from liver failure? Just because he happened to be Irish doesnt make him a Saint!

keep to the topic of the thread please

Real Estate / Carpetying style? - question to Brits living in Poland [26]


Are you serious? Brits have carpeting in their bathrooms! LOLOL Oh, that must stink!


Total BS! I have never seen this in my entire life.


This is common in the US as well, but in the bathroom is crazy.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [159]


Lyzko lives in a time warp. Hes hasnt been to Poland in over 40 years and somehow still knows everything that is going on there. And if you dare question his authority, he deflects back to the same old mumbo jumbo about FDR or some other obscure topic.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [159]


You admitted that you haven't been to Poland in 40 years, so your stereotyped opinion hasn't any credibility.


Same here Cargo. These guys are living in the past and haven't a clue about modern Poland. The people were very friendly and outgoing, the exact opposite of what they're saying.

Im sure when they go out they just stare/observe and don't talk to anyone. No wonder, they rub ppl the wrong way and carry this attitude around.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [159]

This is good advice. Poles are more inclined to help/talk to you if you try speaking Polish first.

And all the women think its really cute when you mess up words too:)


So, how do these Cowboys sneak their guns past security and onboard the airplanes?? lol

Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]


Krakow is a beautiful city and has a lot of interesting things to do during the summer. If youre earning $60k you'll be fine. You do know about what happens in winter, with the coal burning?

This would be a deal breaker for me, but they are trying to clean it up. Give it a few more years and it should get better after the big retro-fit.....

Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]


Medicare is for senior citizens 65+ years old. Medicaid is for low income families.

I assume, his version of self-employed really means unemployed or severely underemployed.



Which is it?

Are you a senior citizen ready to have children? LOL

Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]


Have you ever been to Poland? If you cant make a decent living in the USA don't expect it to happen in Poland. The wages are a lot lower and the cost of living is much greater when you compare the wages you will possibly earn. Most Americans that move to Poland already have a nest egg saved up, then you can live comfortably.

Perhaps, if you find a little place in the country, but Krakow, bring some money....

My babcia had those plastic covers on her couch and you couldn't wear shorts bc your legs would stick to it..haha


I visited a few homes in Poland where everyone takes off their shoes and they provide you slippers, not uncommon at all.

People may be insulted by not taking off your shoes. I forgot once, and they let me know quicker than a Japanese restaurant! lol
