Warsaw Legia fans prepared a spectacular banner

It has just occured to me to ask this question - do American fans use such amasing visuals???

Spanish Betis team. Legia team was depicted as a raging bull chasing

One more thing has just occured to me - Legia played against a Spanish team, hence the bull like in Spanish corrida! I am getting old if I missed it earlier..... :(:(:(:(

News / How will Polish-American relations change if Trump is elected president again? [812]

Pol Americans` votes will be crucial in the coming elections - many experts predict they might tilt the balance in either direction. That is why Trump addressed Pol Ams again. He exploited the anniversary of priest Popiełuszko`s death who was murdered by communist secret police in 1984.
Amasing!
Pity Trump`s endeavours will be lost on NOVI who is an atheist.
Novi, ty skurvysynu, masz iść głosować!

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

He established the party Confederation of Independent Poland whose radical programme included the collapse of the communist regime

I forgot to say that it was the first openly anticommunist party set up in Eastern block since WW2. It happened in 1979. That is why my aunt called Moczulski a pistol.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederation_of_Independent_Poland

Now when I read the progamme of his party I must say he was a visionary coz he predicted the collapse of the communist system due it its economic inefficiency.

The unofficial program of the KPN was Leszek Moczulski's work Revolution without revolution, published in 1979. In this document, Leszek Moczulski called Poland "a form of Soviet rule". He predicted that the country was on the verge of a spontaneous outburst of social anger caused by the collapse of the planned economy. He claimed that in the perspective of the time in which this social explosion would occur, Soviet intervention was unlikely. This enabled the implementation of the independence program by the method of "constructive revolution", "which is nothing more than a Polish national revolution". The author postulated the gradual construction of the "Third Republic" and emphasized that it was realistic and that it could be achieved without bloodshed. "The whole point is to transform the provoked social explosion into mass actions based on three principles: an occupational strike instead of street confrontation, a universal strike in all regions and economic sectors, and self-organization" .

It all happened throughout 1980s and the system eventually collapsed in 1989.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

your amazing perseverance,

I commented on Feniks` post in another thread and immediately recalled that a few days ago Leszek Moczulski had died at 94. He was one of the main anticommunist opposition activists in late 1970s and 80s. I admired him, just like most of my family for his guts and perseverance in his open stubborn rejection of communism. He established the party Confederacy of Independent Poland whose radical programme included the collapse of the communist regime and taking power by democratic forces in result. That is why communists hated him the most and altogether, after several convictions as the enemy of the communist state, he spent 6 years in prisons. Can you imagine that even Soviet Union leaders like Brezhnev demanded his incanceration???

My aunt called him a veritable pistol which in her opinion meant he was indomitable in his struggle against the system. At least at the time which I remember well.

Moczulski and Pres Bush:

Life / Polish and Czechs [191]

Czech headline about Polish Prime Minister:

Polish version: migracyjny jastrząb Tusk. Co oznacza zwrot polskiego premiera???

Very similar.
Almost like the English of an aristocratic or royal Brit and the English of a plebeian redneck American.


  • Migration hawk Tusk.

News / Poland and Germany should unite, says Lech Walesa [113]

You've been deliberately deleting usernames since you started here in 2017.

No, I perfectly remember he was normal at the beginning. His little obsession started about 2 years ago when he confronted strong rebuttal from posters who didn`t like Germany`s helmet gift for Ukraine.

but this is beyond hard to believe.

Be more understanding.

Life / Banners and slogans at soccer games in Poland [63]

Warsaw Legia fans prepared a spectacular banner for their recent match with Spanish Betis team. Legia team was depicted as a raging bull chasing Betis players.
Legia was fined 80.000 euros by the football federation.
Not for their display, though.
A fine of €50,000 was imposed for the use of pyrotechnics by fans, €20,000 for blocking traffic routes and €10,000 for delaying the start of the match.
Additionally, Legia coach Goncalo Feio was given a one-match ban from UEFA competitions, suspended for one year, for delaying the start of the match.

History / Historic Photos about Poland with Context [37]

here sailing under Sydney Bridge

It was a spectacular stunt because the distance from the water surface to the bridge is 52 meters, and the height of the ship - from the water to the top of the highest mast - is 50.5 meters. So the safety margin is only one and a half meter! I read a report about this feat - apparently the people gathered on the bridge started to run away when they saw a giant yacht under full sail approaching them. From the position of the "bridge" viewer, it looked as if the yacht was about to hit the span with its mainmast. The orchestra stopped playing and everyone froze. And then, of course, incredible enthusiasm erupted.

Travel / Poland one of the best places to see golden Autumn colours [11]

most people find it hard to believe that there isn't permafrost in Poland :)

It is hard to dissipate stereotypes once planted by Shakespeare in his works...........

I have much better ones in Poland???

Better in two aspects:
1. They are Polish which is my primary objective as a patriot of my country.
2. They are much cheaper coz available locally which is my secondary objective as a tightfisted monkey..

So I added another cob

You can easily guess what happened to it. I am preparing a new one........

As for the designation of metal barrels, I am still waiting for replies.

There are none. Amasing!!!

here you are. Everybody can see for themselves so no need to explain. I have cleaned and been using 6 barrels so far. The bath tub is an earlier acquisition - I picked it from a street in the big city.

Who needs Russians,

Nationalists like Iron mainly. They realise they will never take power in Poland unless Russians help them like they helped Polish communists after WW2.
Recently Iron warmly talked about you. It is obvious he is preparing the ground for closer cooperation with imperial Russians.

so much love for each other already?

Don`t be stupid. All countries are similarly polarised. In Poland, decent intelligent Poles and Polesses reject rightists, nationalists, homo sovieticuses and this sort of maniacs. It isn`t a sin. Jesus also rejected bad people.

Ironside has a Hemingwayan ability

BS, His best ability is to crap turd in the middle of the path and hide in the bushes nearby to observe walkers step into it. He derives sick pleasure when they do.

counterlinguistic

Exactly!!! My second name is Improvement of your faulty linguistics. hahahaha This is a Polish forum and it is supposed to adhere to Polish culture. The fact that we use English for communication is completely irrelevant. Polish culture matters more! Ha!!!

Dlaczego takie brzydkie

You can blame yourself. I am too patriotic and feministic to handle the enemies of the Polish culture in velvet gloves. I have been kind and decent for too long. No more!!!!!!

English is one of the least gendered,

Yes, because you have been so lazy with the language for centuries. Do we have to follow that stupendous approach??? Of course not. That is why your lazing English is improved by decent Poles and Polesses and you can`t help it.

Anybody who opposes Poles and Polesses is a stupid azhole who promotes language laziness. Simple.
So far two of them have taken voice. Anybody else???

You remind me of one of my mates in 1990s - when he wanted to disparage people, he used to comment their parents were siblings.
