Life / Mishmash facts about Poland and Poles [142]

29,000 priests? Wouldn't that mean that there's one priest for every single Śląskiego?

But today`s priests are Jesus` disciples, like original apostles. That means something, doesn`t it?

Not really, he appointed the apostles.

As I ask my Polish Catholic Mrs, when was the last time her priest told his flock to read the bible? And my old Gran was a nun at one point, so I'm not anti catholic, but educating the masses about what is said in the bible isn't seen to be important (quite the opposite I'd say).

Hey, I live not to far from Cisek and never noticed that sign panel when I've been there! Not really equality though, is it? The 'reds' get an Eagle and the 'blues' only get a "52" and it isn't even on their side. Shame there isn't a sign for the hospital in Kozle, as Krankenhaus is my favourite German word. Apart from Krankenwagen... and maybe Krankenschwester.

Back on topic, please.

Oops. OK.... 76% of Polish construction industry workers living in the UK have a moustache.

Moustached me:

Wow. You're a lot friendlier in words than in pictures. At least you don't look very Witamy in that particular photo.

Is this guy Polish? I guess he's big on straws too.

Life / Vasectomy in Poland is illegal? Why? [123]

: ...for the sake of debauchery...

Debauchery? So it's coitus-highly-improbable-us or it's debauchery?

Or it could be well balanced, normal, healthy, intimacy between people who care about each other? No?

And.... I had it and there was no mutilation or negativeness at all, apart from all the horde of female medical students observing. Made me feel a bit of a prick and I wanted tell them "It's cold in here Ok! Ok!!".

Life / Diesel GTI not a good choice for Poland? [25]

On the topic of running costs: How many people have fully comp insurance?

My Mrs WON'T and says it's a waste of money and none of the people I've asked have it. This includes her pals who recently spent 80 000zl on a brand new Honda and can't drive it until they save up enough to have it repaired: It rolled down a friggin hill into another car, as a result of not using the hand brake, this being another local fashion, I've noticed. Christ knows why.

Ah, good, some more ammunition for the fully comp argument.

Funnily enough, I had an idea that the hand break thing might have been to do with cold weather experiences, but this happened in July so it was just stupid (along with not have comp on a new car).
