Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [649]


Well, not in the uplands or other areas of scenic beauty. Take a trip there and see for yourself. The Czech mountains are a magic kingdom, while the Polish Beskidy are just shite.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [649]


Cracking Delph. I love the Czech Beskidy too - the knedlice, the beer.....the strict laws on no development as you said......Do you know Stare Hamry? Lovely area in both summer and winter.

Travel / Lovely trips to Poland - Warsaw and Wrocław, Krakow and Warsaw, Poznań and Gdańsk [43]


Yeah,yeah,yeah...... I suppose you are similar the gentleman of Asian descent at British customs who asked me what the purpose of my visit was, to my own country. I wouldn't ask an Asian what the purpose of his visa was, as that's his business, visa in hand. No, I kindly suggest you go and do one, you racist.


Yes, you're sharper than my good self, but I felt so insulted by this loon that I didn't get much further than his over-zealous first paragraph. Of course you are right.

It's a wind up. Now, which poster here is it?

Real Estate / Renting flat/apartment with dog Gdansk? [24]

Lots of threads here about Gdansk/Tri-City. Try the district of Wrzeszcz. Avoid Zabianka and a housing estate called "Fala" (wave). And never go down to Nowy Port. Other than those you'll be alright.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


Oh dear oh dear Dolno. Poland started from a rather low base - remember?
It was called totalitarianism FFS. Bob and his uncle could have grown the economy year on year from that.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

The " Local Tory club"?
You don't get it - because, unlike you. I have actually lived in Poland for 27 years now, plus.
I voted Labour in the UK, and always will - Blair proved that Britain can actually afford social justice. Poland palpably cannot. There is no economic base. Poland is too poor for handouts. Not that the economy will ever effect you, as an ageing expat.

Your lack of care for the following generation beggars belief.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]


You are a troll. No German would refer to "East Germany". At the very least, you are one poorly educated chap. Sorry for you - but it's never too late to better yourself.


Another clown. My wife has received a Polish pension at the young age of 60. That is good news for her, as every little helps - but it will clearly help to ruin the economy.

PIS economically speaking is totally clueless. Luckily, my daughter will not be picking up the bill.
Poles - get the hell out while you still can.

Law / Getting a Polish drivers license / Poland's residence permit (how long it might take to get?) [28]

To be fair Einstein, all governments are guilty of this nonsense. Your passport is worthless inside the country. A friend, who was 26 at the time, went to a liquor store in Canton to buy a bottle of gin. "Your Ohio state drivers' license for ID please sir"

"I don't have an American drivers' licence.. I have my Polish passport..........." (spoken in a meek voice, as befits my friends character...)
"I didn't ask for your goddamn passport. I asked for your Ohio state drivers' licence.........."
Etc..etc.....

History / Poland - problem for Germany? (historically continual hostility of German state on Poland) [154]


I kindly suggest you either change the people you employ, or don't encourage their childish prejudices then, by talking at work about the (supposed) defeat of facism 75 years ago then. Problem solved!


Don't worry about him - he is one of the keyboard warriors here (The reason is in the name "PolAM - as in - he contributed nothing to his supposed motherland - and knows nothing about actual history apart from what his grandad has poisoned him with, probably.)


Good lad!

Not in PIS land they're not. This shows how much you know about Polish daily life.

I agree with Lyzko 100%. So that's a draw then.


Congratulations. In Poland we have to pay twice.

News / Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]

But it has. For traders like Leroy Merlin and Castorama the losses are unsustainable. It doesn't take a bright spark to realise that Poland is still poor, and hence people have no leverage to take the time during the week to do such shopping as they can in Germany for example, where the working week is shorter and people are richer. The amount of money people have in the bank dictates whether they are likely to say to the boss "I just have to go out for an hour to buy some bathroom fittings..."

This nonsense of Sunday closing to offer your soul to the Lord simply makes more worldly matters much more difficult for a lot of people , when I am sure you would agree we elect our representatives to actually make our lives better.

News / Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]


Yes. A tax on the poor. Very clever, I don't think.

And the hundreds of thousands of summer tourists who self cater couldn't buy food on a Sunday, or fill their boots with booze. Ridiculous nonsense, and you really couldn't make it up.

That's why I live in Tri-City Bolek. We have no truck with PIS here :)

News / PO to boycott TVP in Poland [37]


Do keep up. I know it's difficult for you. But it was clear from my posts who that term refers to.

News / PO to boycott TVP in Poland [37]


The only thing I'm hoping for is that PIS is soon gone for the good of my second home.

News / PO to boycott TVP in Poland [37]


Kurski is not a public figure, but a political one, and no, sorry to disappoint you, but scum is on the same wavelength as fool or clown.The man has done a great deal of damage to the reputation of respected professionals, and for no reason at all but a political agenda, as I said. Not that you care as you are as biased as the PIS clowns are.

News / PO to boycott TVP in Poland [37]

I do some work with independent film producers here. They had successful TV careers until PIS came along and started interfering with their editorial rights. what they think about Kurski could not be transmitted, even after the watershed.

Pure scum is the description that comes to mind.

News / Poland in the European Union. Polexit? [559]


Yes, the silly people in Poland etc etc, who don't appreciate that if they leave the EU in the near future, refuse to admit the obvious, that Polexit would only mean having to pay most of the subsidies back. And then Poland doesn't have the budget to properly maintain all the infrastructure that the EU paid for in the first place (every single project of any real size here and now was paid for 66 percent bang out of European funding) so history will repeat itself from 1945 onwards, as in - collapsing city infrastructure.

But I wouldn't expect an American to know what he's talking about here.


Well said BB. Better in than out. All the good work of patriots like Adamowicz to build togetherness would go to waste, and let the nationalists in...which in the long term leads to WAR..........

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


Yeah sure. Both countries would still be in the Middle ages if it weren't for the EU. Gdansk, which we're talking about here, was a shi before EU funding came to the rescue, and large parts of Italy still are, because the likes of Salvini will put gutter politics before business. And do please try to enjoy your weekend with your muslim neighbours - I'm truly sorry that they have to suffer your intolerance. Why not come back here and rent a flat in a kamienice in Radom, or somewhere similar? You will feel right at home with the rabid lot in that town. I can guarantee that you will find plenty of narrow minded people just like you to spend time with. Bliss!

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]

Wonderful eulogies from Adamowicz's family. If our families say such nice things of us, then our lives will have meant something, and we will have made a difference. For that's what it's all about.

RIP

How old are you Bolek? do I have to ask you to act your age? More hate speech. Once President Dougpol is in power you will have your social media removed for an initial period of 6 months until you learn to be a useful citizen and stop propagating lies.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


So why didn't they vote to get him out Ironside? You mean people in the Eastern Poland village didn't like him, because they had been taught by PIS to be scared of a few hundred Syrian children being rehoused here? Because the people who mattered, those in Gdansk, obviously liked him.

Are you insulting the people of Gdansk and calling them out collectively? Ironside the all-knowing?
I know who I don't like the sound of. Here's a clue - lazy people who criticise those who try to make a difference to other people's lives.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


That was ("Sir") Jimmy Saville in the UK.
Rightly, or wrongly, at least we salute our social benefactors in the UK in their own lifetime. Until he was proven otherwise in death, the aforenamed was feted by queen and country.

Poland's good people are assassinated in word or deed. There is something seriously wrong, and I think I know what it is. The right side of Poland (both politically, and geographically) would prefer to be still in the Soviet Union. They decry any individualism or community action, and have paranoia as to the accuracy of public accountability (so find it easier to avoid criticism and do nothing) The left hand side has the correct idea generally about what life is all about - they wish to live in a social democracy. And the two different thinking peoples should realise that the politicians are only playing a public game, and that in actual fact, in private they often meet and socialise, and laugh at the stupidity of the electorate.

News / Pawel Adamowicz, Gdansk mayor, dies after stabbing [353]


Try it then in the UK and see how far it gets you. Are you saying that the UK has got their laws wrong on this?


No. It's time for the Polish prime minister to address the nation and to say that race hate and other hate crime will not be permitted.

No, we in Poland are not having that. They both are excellent public servants and selfless individuals. You don't live here Ironside. And likely never have. You are clearly a Kaczynski man, and that's enough now.

One could go on, but stop digging yourself deeper pal. You are one disgusting individual, who does nothing for Poland but criticise.

No. Mayor of Katowice - always independent as long as I can remember. Mayor of Gdynia - always independent.
