@Bratwurst Boy
Yes, though Bonfire Night (the autumn traditions long predate Guy Fawkes; back in the day we actually drew lots and sacrificed someone, rather than just burning an effigy) are more a late Equinox than an early Solstice.

Plenty do, sadly.


It is a generational thing regarding those who are loudest on either side. Younger people seem to have other concens.

Yes, so much loud noise drowns out the fact that most people are somewhere in the middle on the issue and don't think about it daily or hold strong opinions. Very much a generational thing.


A finding by the Olympic Commitee would be (though not her specific medical details) however this is just gossip, allegedly obtained in a dodgy way. As far as I know, any procedures by the IOC are still ongoing and of course confidential.

However clickbait is clickbait.

The big Autumn celebration. Nicer than Halloween. Plenty goes on in the week before and after.

Yes, reporting confidential medical records allegedly obtained by a journalist is desperate. And proves nothing.


To rile up people like Roz and Novi who both fixate on trans issues. Very easy to do with people like that and drives up traffic to their website.

According to your story, a journalist 'claims' to have secret and probably illegal access to her private medical records.

To be taken with a pinch of salt, and hardly worth mentioning.

Our media's been quite light about it. Mostly because most people dislike trumpet and the sort of people around him and are bored of hearing about them and partly because we have a new (and excellent for most people) budget and plenty of other stuff going on like Bonfire Night and the Bake Off.

No. We didn't have it until recently either. I'm not sure what the point of it is.

And at the time they were written, that meant good order in society. No European with an IQ out of double figures thinks that today, nor should it be considered a rule for life.

It's all in the interpretation. Living, word for word, according to a set of instructions given to Iron Age Greek communities by their religious leader without thinking that the context we live in today differs from the lives of the intended recipients of those letters is just so upside down.

Now go forth and multiply, and don't forget to render a burnt offering at the holy of holies.


Why?

Insider know you were a Gnostic Syncretist..

You should be fine with female clergy though.

That's meaningless. The Vatican Councils were years ago. And all religions have but a glimmer of the transcendent.

The rest of your post is equally bizarre. Jesus and His disciples would probably have given you a good kicking if you said that in front of them. That or shared some of their Clozapine with you.


Female clergy are quite normal when you get used to them.

Indeed. And the few female clergy I've met have seemed very modest. Just like male clergy but (usually) with slightly longer hair.

Do they?

More historic and popular with tourists. Nobody lives there, and yes, it feels a bit grubby. I wouldn't go to a Mexican restaurant there and am not surprised that one exists. A sort of "go to once" place for the tourist trade.

Yates' Wine Lodge does good pies and is mostly tourist free. The York Arms always had nice giant Yorkshire puddings but last time I went past, a few months ago, it was closed.

There used to be a really good Mexican by Rondo Wiatraczna. I think they had another place in Warsaw. Supposed to be more authentic.

Genealogy / Where to DNA test myself if I'm related to Doliwa? [5]


Do one with, say, Ancestry.co.uk or one of the others (avoid 23andMe right now). It will bring up any relatives who've done the test as far as about 5th cousins. Beyond that, someone can't really be called a relative.

DNA tests aren't popular in Poland (and are illegal in France where there's a large diaspora community).though.


Do you mean nobility or szlachta?

Injara. Budeena if you're one of the Oroma, the largest demographic whose election win is the reason there are middle class Amhara and Tigreyans coming to Europe and opening restaurants. I've never been in an Ethiopian one I didn't like.

Incidentally, if you put Injara roll into google images, you can see the giant machines they make the big rolls on.


Campeche. The company had protocols about not going out of the hotel, not speaking to strangers etc. A bit annoying since it looked interesting.


There's an old Scottish version called cerveach which is worth a try.

I last had ceviche in West Africa and it was a treat compared to the other fvck-awful food there.

It's delicious. Very veg based and all spread out on a sort of giant pancake. Most of the refugees who've opened the restaurants are richer Amhara/Tigreyans who call it "injera". It's actually very nice. The food is spicy though, heavy on chilli.


What most people outside Mexico think of Mexican food is actually Tex Mex.

I only spent 2 days in Mexico for work and all I remember of the food is OK salads and leathery steaks.

Yes, they're in terminal decline now, whereas the major European countries are strong.

There's some quite nice ones. Perhaps Joker was going to downmarket tourist places.

The new thing is Ethiopian and Eritrean bars. Usually very nice food.

Not all clergy are members of that denomination.


Kaplanka is a word. It's used for female chaplains and protestant pastors.

@Farrukh Wasiem

There's only one hostel that's very near to the main Mosque near Zachodni Station.

This one is closer to the centre but not too far to go to the mosque ans is much cheaper:

They're not bad at all, however yes, the customer service isn't what it might be. Standard for all airlines, and if they're bought out by Air France/KLM as Macron wants, it won't become better.

Travel / Mystical places in Poland [18]


Yes. I've stayed in the castle (with T). The bar/restaurant there was interesting looking however I think we ate at a little schabowy place in town. Handy for Święta Lipka.

About places less talked about, I was referring to places with spiritual or occult or esoteric connections/history that aren't really for civilians. Some are of interest only really for people with a special interest, one (belonging to UAM Poznan) an absolute goldmine. Perhaps 'the' goldmine, however the most interesting items they hold are under lock and key for religious/cultural reasons, and several places of great peace and spirituality.

,
The Templar castle at Rogów is interesting. One of the few places the Templars reached in PL.

The mansion in Dobryczy (Pałac w Dobrzycy) has certain mystical and esoteric aspects of its architecture. Open to the public and very worth a visit.

Plus a few places less talked about.
