"Own" a Hedge Fund? He doesn't even own a bloody hedge.

Perhaps he "owns" a hedgehog.


We all know about your wife's double prolapse however I'm sure it's only that bad before her annual shower

"Own" a Hedge Fund???

I've heard it all now. Keep digging, Jim.


It's the best fun on the internet since that video of the r*SSian woman whose tıts fell out of her wedding dress.

Off-Topic / What was the point when Europe stopped being all-White? [66]


Like Epstein Island without Melania and the parties.

If he can afford a Ferrari, he can afford that.


In the EU too, so presumably taxable. Probably less likely to enforce rules than Germany though. An unlucky guy.

The most unlucky car owner I've come across was in Warsaw. He bought a new performance car. It was delivered to the street outside his house and stolen that same night, before he'd taken out insurance. Expensive for him.

Deflection and squirming.


An evil individual surrounded by the worst people. The trumpet crime family are an appalling bunch.

You were pretending it had started already a while ago.

Changed your mind, have you?

History / Let's talk about the POLISH ARMY [79]


Nor me, though armies are a rule to themselves, and there may well be something the media don't know, given that military operations were involved. The same thing happens in the UK sometimes; families want to know but the army don't want to say for reasons they don't make public.

There are a lot of details, as you say, however there may well be issues not in the public domain yet.

History / Let's talk about the POLISH ARMY [79]


A few reasons. Could be the nature and origin of any poison, could be another security issue, could be about morale. Armies are a rule to themselves sometimes.

It's dangerous being a soldier. She was evidently very brave and her family must miss her.

About as dodgy as it gets. Reading (or more accurately quoting) matter for mental midgets.


Even on crowded trains they don't often check.

He just melts down and digs himself into a deeper hole. Probably the only hole he gets nowadays.

It's just a shame he can't admit he's a clueless faker.

History / Let's talk about the POLISH ARMY [79]


I'm sure they would.

Remember, it's military, and the military don't always give out as much information as people want.

Also, if they did a Post Mortem Examination (Americans say 'autopsy' which sounds very old-fashioned in English), at all, it would not necessarily have been a civilian one.


Very possible. In hot countries there are all sorts of illnesses we don't think about in Europe.


If that's the case, I'm sure it wouldn't be in the public domain.

More meltdowns from a guy who reads financial terms in websites without the slightest understanding of what they mean.

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]


Most people in the world have never heard of it.


Can you think of any other reasons why market traders in the developing world might welcome a European tourist "as a king"?

It's not relevant to the floods though, and good news that people seem to be safe now.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


Very true. Hate is a very easy emotion and a very destructive one. Forgiveness is is much harder but much more powerful since those you forgive no longer have the power over you that hatred brings.

There are a handful of individuals I hate because of things they've done or tried to do that either affect me personally or more specifically affect loved ones, however hating a whole group of people for things that happened before any of them were alive is a strange thing.

News / In increasingly chaotic world, diaspora of Poland moving back to Poland an masse? [71]


Nor me.

Some people who were early post-2004 migrants and were middle aged (with adult kids in PL) at the time return in retirement, though some don't. Other individuals return if things haven't worked out or after a divorce or if they're genuinely unhappy there or if there's a sweetheart waiting at home or a particularly good job or inheritance to return to, however most certainly stay, especially if they've got school or university age kids.

Those people will probably always stay since their kids generally become British quite quickly and will stay there and their grandkids have little do with and little interest in the place their grandparents came from. Many migrants dream of one day returning however it doesn't usually turn out that way.

Anyway, Luton Airport is much nearer to Warsaw than Szczecin is, and a Wizzair ticket sometimes not much more than (and sometimes less than) a train from Warsaw to Wroclaw. If people want food from the old country they can get it there and Polish TV is available in the U.K. on satellite or online. Plus the standard of living is usually good and wages are higher.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]


Haters will always find something to hate, sadly. If one target is removed, they find another.


It's the same with r*SSians and Germans. Both have tried very hard to destroy Europe within living memory. Ukrainians are very much victims of both.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [650]


Exactly.

Poorhouse Jim just googles things from finance websites without actually understanding what he's trying to read.


Personally I'd rather have the chewing gum and a nice pint of Carlsberg, however people's tastes do differ.

They aren't though, are they.


Not in Europe, or anywhere else. If anything, the opposite is true.

Law / Polish inheritance rules with regards to property that was transferred before death [7]

If someone made a gift before they died, and assuming that person was mentally able to decide and there's no suggestion of coercion, why disrespect the persons wishes and attempt to claim something given to others?

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1304]


That ticks a couple of boxes.

There was also extreme nationalism, irredentism, a view that women didn't belong in the workplace and of course his party had its roots in street fighting gangs, another few boxes to tick.

There were elements where falangism diverged from fascism, particularly in their strong support for the cooperative movement, however that regime was resolutely fascist.


There's something in that. A glorification of violence and primitivism.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1304]


Political scientists define political terms.


He certainly used the term, and falangist too. Franco ticked most of the boxes.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1304]


It can certainly be defined, however since there are different iterations of fascism in different environments and sice its barely a century old and evolving, there are differences in interpretation as there are with most political concepts.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1304]


That's basically Socialism in most of its iterations, Workers' control of the means of production. With facism though, the governments are not in any sense by or for workers.

There's also a few other factors which identify fascism, something notoriously hard to define. Much is to do with their views on society, their distasteful opinions on ethnicity and extreme authoritarianism.


Which is certainly what they are. They don't even try to hide it.

USA, Canada / Canadian companies (that hires) in Poland? [10]

@Ron2
It would depend a lot on whether you're in a big city or small town.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [650]


The fees of course being one of the reasons they're longer term investments.

Amateur 'day traders' would just lose even more if they bet on them in a normal economic situation.

USA, Canada / Canadian companies (that hires) in Poland? [10]


Why not? It's a nice place.

Travel / Bus or Street Car in Warsaw [12]


You'd need someone faster than a cheetah to do that.

And if you knew the slightest thing about Polish law, you'd not have made such a stupid suggestion.

I suppose trolls will be trolls.
