Life / The nature of Polish jokes? [125]

my favourite blonde girl joke

what is that a blonde girl thinks when she learns she's pregnant? 'Maybe it's not mine' :)


it means 'In the memory of the seamen of the Black Sea' btw


looks like Greeks are quite obsessed with their.. ducks :P

Life / The nature of Polish jokes? [125]


I know a couple of Polish jokes about penises but they are way more subtle than the southern's one

here's one:

American marines visit Russia - they arrive at Russian marines base - say Sevastopol - an American marine veteran goes for a **** - suddenly a Russian bloke joins in - while they stand and pee the Russiang guy looks over the American guys shoulder and asks? What does it mean 'ORIA' in English?? - oh, it was GLORIA - but a shrapnel cut the remaining part in Vietnam - then the American marine can't stop his curiousity and looks over to the Russian guy - then asks in a surprise 'You also had GLORIA'??? - No, I had 'Pamiati moriakow iz Czornogo Moria' (it doesn't work with the English transcription of Russian sadly)

Love / What strange/unnerving/funny things do your Polish wives do? [153]

I'm serious - I have instantly fallen in love with her ;) - kiss her for me, will you :)

btw all those millions of women you mention are already taken - there is growing demand for PiS-loving women here ;)

Love / What strange/unnerving/funny things do your Polish wives do? [153]

greet your wife and tell her I would marry her in case you leave her ;)

Life / The nature of Polish jokes? [125]

four guys meet somewhere for a social meeting an American, a Russian, a Norwegian guy and a Pole - there is plenty of drink - and finally in the middle of the night it starts getting philosiphical and some pauses begin to appear

then American guy says - You know, in Alaska we have such frigid winters that when you spit your spit freezes before it drops

after a smaller pause the Russian guy says - This is nothing, We in Siberia have such frigid conditions that when you go out in the night to take a ****, you have to watch cause it freezes solid into a an arc and it can actually catch you ;)

after another shorter pause the Norwegian guy says - this is nothing actually, when I worked on an off-shore platform the "Golfsztrom" froze (Gulfstream - definitely needs to be in Polish/German (or maybe Norwegian) because: ...)

good on the bloody Jew - the Pole says to that :P;)

what is that: it's big, it's black, it hangs on a Jew's neck???

Jarosław Kaczyński???

you would be surprised but there is already a joke on PO voters :) I can't rember it quite well though and would have to spend some half an hour to translate it into English though

the second WW - some hard knocking on a steel door of a Russian bunker - the Russians ask - kto tam? (who's there) - swoi? (pronounces sva-ee)(friends) - a skolko was (and how many of you are there) - ein-und-zwanzig :)

no, not always

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]


I very much doubt it - at least in Poland - I have seen lots of very timid german shepherd dogs here and I believe german shepherd is much easier trained into strict obedience than for example rotweilers and dobermans

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [142]

well I actually read some Viktor Suvorov now on the internet and one can read there that the Specnaz often jump from as low as 100 m (sounds quite terrible to me)

I'm not telling your story is not true - I'm telling people can still make up such stories

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [142]

I have heard that Russian paras jump at very low altitudes (like 300 m) - consider the losses the German paratroopers have taken during the landing on Crete - maybe it was the same in all Warsaw Pact militaries

one can deliberately make one such photo using a model - and then make a news of it - while in reality there would be no such trend - go figure - you ever heard of a man eater beaver who devoured a male dwarf prn star??

Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [142]


one photo can also completely falsify the greater picture - so actually it's pretty moron - sorry

putting a picture of pouring wax on water through a hole in the key - like you can't imagine how it's done - you know what that is - a waste of server space

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

Dutch or Flemmish (they have these long narrow noses)

History / The Bar Mleczny / Milk Bar (memories) [15]

yes - the widnow panes always got steamy in the colder seasons - reason: hot food, plenty of people

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]


Poland was never conquered by the Mongols - get your history straight - it was invaded yes, but the Mongols withdrew pretty soon (they did not really occupy the country) because of some dynastic feuds among themselves

Tatars never conquered Poland or any part of Poland either - they frequently raided - mostly to loot and take slaves

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]

it's not about saying the English are not ethnicity - it is saying that if you insist only white people of British origin are English (actually what about the Irish who are now completely assimilated (Liverpool, Glasgow) and have been for a couple generations) the problem arises: what do you call people like the mentioned above Lenox Lewis, Lewis Hamilto, Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole (and so on and on and on) - are they not English? does it matter if they are not 100 per cent indigenous?? -

there are a couple of reknown people in Poland who are of mixed racial background yet they were at least raised in POland (I don't know if also born in Poland - but does it really matter) - their first language is Polish - some even don't know any other language to any sensible extent - are these people not Polish? - sure they are Polish - and noone in his right mind will argue about that - we don't talk about 'white Polish' people is just because there is so few black Polish people - if you say a Pole you imagine a white person simple as that (ok some English morons might actually disagree because their sense of whiteness seems not to be actually based on persons complexion) - it does not work in England (not all whites in Britain/England are English/British (Poles/some Irish(latecormers)/French chefs/Portuguese immigrants etc) and not all blacks are not English) - I thought it was all so simple

btw there is the WASP term in American English - if you really insist on highlighting your ethnic/racial background you can perhaps call yourself Anglo-Saxon or White Anglo-Saxon - you wouldn't call a person of mixed race Anglo-Saxon would you? - case solved??

- btw it seems strange that English people are afraid to state a simple fact they are white (those who indeed are)

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]


well- actually I have met quite a good couple black people in England who you can't possibly call anything else but English (or British if you insisted) - because there are black English people (do I need to list some famous English sportsmen who are black) then you have also the white English (pretty simple and basic logic) - there is no popular term White Polish because of one important thing - there is no community of black Polish people to speak of - there are Polish people of mixed black and white origin but their numbers are so low they don't form any visible minority (you can't say that two or three coloured celebrities in Poland form a minority) -

the question is actually if you believe Lennox Lewis, Rio Ferdinand, Lewis Hamilton and millions of Britons who have some sort of black heritage are English - if not who are they then - consider also that there are millions of people in Britain who are not only black but hardly can be called English or Britons - neither were there born nor feel a strong connection to Britain - so yes there is a point in calling people black English people (to discern from other black people in Britain) - if there is a point of calling some people black English people there is also a point of calling some people white English people (if all English people were white save for some negligible minority like in Poland there would have been no point of using a term 'English, white')

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [441]

being non-white can have its consequences in Poland - that is not promoting racial prejudices - that is just stating there are racial prejudices and racial hate among some Poles

Food / Bary mleczne/milk bars in Poland [30]


Bar Miś is not far from rynek on Szewska street close to the main historic building (the rectorate) of the University of Wrocław - if you go straight from Rynek to the University you won't miss it (well I hope the place still exists - it kept me alive for quite some time thanks to the ridicoulously cheap prices)

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]


yes, quite hard ... to find nowadays :P

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1400]

these were most probably the maślaki pawian referred to ;)

and I still like'em - if made right (vinegar,onion, salt, piment, some sugar I guess) they are great appetizer

Food / Smalec - how to make it? [53]

the best way to eat smalec is on bread with slices of onion, dill pickle and hard-boiled egg on top - yum - then down it with a glass of dill pickle marinade (or whatever you call that liquid in English)

gumishu


don't forget to add a pinch of salt over smalec

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]


it's not only bricks that make buildings - it's also hours and days of people's work - and how many people did it take to rebuild Warsaw - how much time it took

Millions of Poles also left behind their property in the East - they came to the 'recovered lands' and up to late 60's didn't know if they can really stay for good

include the ammount of war time requisition by German military administration - you had to give away most cattle and pigs (if not all)

how do you calculate the price of the lives lost - if husbands died and women were left behind with children and had to make it on their own

Real Estate / How do I rent a flat in Poland? [44]

well you need to know some Polish to effectively look for some place for yourself - I don't think there is any reliable accommodation search site in English (not at this moment of the year - think students are in search of accommodation now)

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]


no we have won the war with the help of this Czech guy ;) - i can't think what would've happened if not for the Czech guy ;)


BTW the Czech guy flew in the Polish 303 squadron voluntarily (he was offered to fly in a Czech squadron but declined)

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]

Harry care to consider that fighter pilots (either Polish or otherwise) were a bit different lot to bomber air crews - one can easily imagine these guys were much more chivalrous -

having said that I think it is good dark things from history are also revealed


Harry there are things you can infer from other general knowlegde - like the idea that for fighter pilots an order to join the bomber force (the only logical post would a pilot of a bomber) was a plain degradation - and I don't think the Allies ever ordered their prolific fighter pilots join bomber forces - I don't say no fighter pilots were ever turned bomber pilots but I very much doubt it was a common thing

as for putting time frames to the history - the article mentions Lancaster bombers - these bombers entered service only in December 1941 - perhaps there was some training before but not long months before definitely

History / 'Battle of Britain' won thanks to Polish aces !! [158]


it is clear from the article that all the servicemen were training to be bomber air and ground crews including the Poles - most of these people simply had to train on bigger aircraft because they used to fly smaller bombers before (yes Polish ariforces in 1939 also comprised a good bomber wing (some 100 light bombers and some 40 medium bombers) - most logical conclusion: there were not many fighter pilots there and most probably none of those who fought in the Battle of Britain
