Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]


I can assure you this gadget offers a lot of fun.

Eventually, I have established a few facts:
1/ the rat is gone for good.
2/ so is the hamster.
3/ the cobs I had left in the spot were abducted by the rat. I found their remains among the clutter in the barn. It is impossible the hamster took them there.

I wanted to save the hamster but fed the rat instead which is lost anyway. This is called squint-eyed luck in Polish.

Off-Topic / THE POLISH FORUMS CHRISTMAS TREE! [56]


Exactly, but to my thinking we mustn`t disregard the underneath of the tree coz it plays even a more essential role than its upper part. In our contemporary times, the sole existence of the tree depends on its bottom content, in my humble you know what.

You are close, as usual. ):):

However, pulling a rug suggests a sudden motion as you wrote.
While throwing logs implies a longer process which is quite logical coz you can`t throw all the logs at a time, you need to discard them one after another. :):):)

So???

Nope, the last one I had was 12 years ago when I was taking photos while driving and scratched the side of my car against a road barrier.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

A real loss. My fave comedy actor, Stanisław Tym, died at 87. He played the main role in the cult comedy Teddy Bear, made in 1980, which mocked communist ideology, economy and social relations. It is the best Polish film which I would take with me onto a desert island if I had to stay there forever. The film contains scenes and quotes which have become the cultural heritage of the nation.

I have mentioned the film and some cult scenes dozens of times in the forum.

See how the director Bareja mocks handing over passports in communist Poland. With Eng subs:

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]


Again two groups of voters are going to clash in elections: decent intelligent people who vote for Trzaskowski and all kinds of rightists, nationalists, psychos and homo sovieticuses.

PiS is worried about Mr Trzaskowski`s opening day:

However, after the KO convention , the mood in the PiS ranks is more serious than the posts on social media would indicate. The politicians we talk to admit that Trzaskowski's staff has learned its lesson from both Andrzej Duda's victorious campaigns and the last American campaign - it focuses on patriotism, economic issues, security and politics focused on the problems of ordinary people and equalizing opportunities.

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [105]


Today afternoon, we had just set on our return journey home after doing the usual shopping in the nearby town when suddenly I noticed sth really peculiar - 3 young men were running along the road, stopping and taking photos of the still sunlit sky and then running again to another location, probably to catch the best views. I got the camera and my wife took photos, too, coz we were convinced the view they were hunting for was some rare eclipse. Coming home I found out the commotion was caused by Starlink satelites.
The Starlink space train will once again be visible over Poland. It is the G9-14 series, which has been flying over our country since Thursday. Although the weather is not spoiling us, it is worth trying to catch this small fragment of the mega constellation of satellites that crosses the sky above our heads.

Check the space train in the photos below

Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [263]


I saw it today in the news.

Janusz Waluś, the murderer of an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa, landed on Saturday morning at Warsaw Chopin Airport after 30 years of serving in a local prison.
Waluś was a right-wing extremist and former truck driver who was convicted in South Africa of the murder of Chris Hani, a communist activist fighting apartheid. He was originally sentenced to death, but after its abolition it was commuted to life imprisonment. In 2022, the Constitutional Tribunal of South Africa decided to conditionally release Waluś, the deadline for which expired this week.

Guess which party`s prominent politician welcomed Waluś at the airport??

Nationalist Konfederacja`s, of course. Is it a coincidence?? Of course, not.
