Travel / Passenger plane converted into restaurant near Katowice, Poland [21]

This plane you can find i Kościelec, on the A1 express road from Warsaw Katowice, just before Częstochowa

Coming south route DK1 worth zawitać Kościelec (several miles before Częstochowa ) . If we want to eat , that's where we can enjoy a meal on board a real ... aircraft . This off already with air traffic ship was converted to a restaurant. The plane is a few hundred meters from the highway , on a small square , surrounded by fountains .

It is worth to watch old farm exposed in the nearby small open-air museum . Even a short stay in this place will leave a pleasant experience for the eyes and palate. Note ! The restaurant is seasonal and is open from spring to autumn.

Looks like the onboard service is not so bad. Bad thing is, you are not going anywhere :)

Yes, each time the Warsaw Insurrection is remembered, they forget to omit that for example General Anders thought it was a foolish enterprise, and during the Insurrection some "patriots" found the time to murder jews which had survived the Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

I walked by there today afternoon. The atmosphere was frightening. I never saw so many fanatics together.
Another funny slogan was "I never knew the NKVD was so strong"
Beria is turning around in his grave.

In any civilized country the are around the parliament and residence of the head of state is completely neutral.
The police should have used tear gas and dogs and get rid of these idiots.

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

I think it would be best to leave this Pandora box closed... How mean, how far back would you go? To the first partition of Poland? To the 30-year war?

Got some ancestors who belonged to the glorious Świętokrzyskie brigade of the NSZ? You know, that another glorious part of Polish recent history. They devoted as much time killing Jews as collaborating with the Nazis and as such escaping Soviet wrath.

With the AK having issued death sentences on part of them because of their atrocious behave.

Why is the government so cowardly. And the city?
Why do they allow the whole country to be duped by a bunch of religious fanatics?

IS - It has to do everything with your fanatical Catholic beliefs. Slogans as "Tusk is a Jew" Don't thet tell it all? I bet their grandfathers applauded the Kielce pogrom.

I think democracy is worth a painful moment. Teargas, truncheons, police dogs and general arrestations. The only way to deal with such fanatics.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]


It is the only way to deal with Radio Marija, Jankowski and assorted. They have to be defeated, to save this country from religious Catholic fanaticism.

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]

So you mean your ancestors were part of this outfit? Or maybe of the Blue Police ?(oh yes another part of the recent glorious past)

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

That is because the religious cross fanatics inn Warsaw are prone to do just everything. It just shows how much simpletons can get indoctrinated.
I agree with Harry. A democratic country has the right to defend itself against this kind of danger, even when it requires physical force.

News / "Drink Hard" - Bruce Willis to endorse Polish vodka [48]

This reminds of a funny commercial for beer with French actor Jean Reno - cannot remember for which brand it was though :(

Seanus - almost all Polish beer brands are foreign-owned... That is about the same I guess :)

I do not think the Catholic Church as a whole is a relic from the past. But the way it abuses its influence in Poland, and still is stuck in pre Vaticanum II times....

The Cross show is provocated, initiated and steered by PIS. -that is for sure. With a nice sprinkling of "Nasz Dziennik", Radio Marija and other fanatics. The still cannot cope they have lost the presidential elections so they are provoking nationalistic hatred like this.

In basically every country in the Western hemisphere your religious beliefs are your private business. Only here these berets want to make Catholicism (the Inquistition variant, that is) State Religion. Proclaiming Christ the King of Poland and that kind of idiocies.

In which century do these people live in ?

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]


Actually I read I think basically all books about Polish history published in Polish and Dutch. I am historian from education - be it Medieval History -.

What must I, or for that matter MG - dare? To serve you a few unsavoury facts of recent Polish history?

Hmmm my connection with Poland... let me see...my wife is Polish, I live in the city state of Warsaw... I came first time to Poland in 1989...

And my Flemish village was liberated by the First Polish Armoured Division in 1944.
(I have disappointing news for you on that front - there were quite a few Polish jews serving in the division as well - see the Polish Military Cemetary in Lommel, Belgium)

But I refuse to accept your Dmowski-edition of Polish history.

That is a nice one to get you started.
The previous speaker of the parliament, Marek Jurek, was pushing this idea, and not only him.
it is this kind of people who are the cross fanatics
Torquemada would have loved their mentality.

The essential point here is that such kind of freakish opinions might and do exist in most civilized countries. But in countries where religion belongs to the private sphere this is not doing any harm. They are on the extreme-right unsavoury part of society, but neglible.

The thing is that in Poland a significant minority = PIS, seems to think that Poland is the same as "bigoted catholic". That anybody else is Russian-sponsored.

In Poland a former Speaker of the Parliament promotes this kind of cross views. It is all good and well to adore an incompetent bigoted president, I do not think there is any need to make him a saint.

IS, you would not hot have your personal copy of 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in your bookcase? Perhaps a shared one with Nasz Dziennik?

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

I am just waiting until they start to distribute among the cross aliens the latest copy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion".

Drove yesterday from Rondo ONZ back home to Bielany and at times I was thinking I was driving / sailing through a waterfall.
Rondo Babka was transformed in a lake.

I think the cross aliens and IS do believe it is the true word of their God.
Nationalistic simpletons taking over Krakowskie these days.

P.S. I think Lech is great beer, especially when drunk cold.

Food / I thought Polish beer couldn't compete, but I was wrong [20]

You might have a point there of course :)
Still if I would live in Kraków, cold Lech would be my favourite :)
That said, I think Polish beer is pretty awful :(

Food / I thought Polish beer couldn't compete, but I was wrong [20]

I heard £omża has to be pretty good, have not tried it yet.
The best beer I remember in Poland was from the brewery Śpiż on the Rynek in Wrocław.
I have no idea if they are still in business but the beer was truly very good.

As for Lech - I agree that it was a bit controversial advertisement. On the other side PIS was reacting in its usual paranoid fashion. Anyway for the brewery - mission accomplished :)

IS, some additional glorious facts in your history:

- The Konfederacja Targowicka, where basically your aristocracy sold the country to the Russians.You have to be proud of that
- The invasion by the Polish Army of Czechslovakia on 1 October 1938, in coordination and cooperation with Nazi Germany. Occupying the Czech district of Cieszyn
- The Kielce Pogrom

Life / Vertu (or iPhone) in Poland ?? [19]

Good - people think you will have bought a copy trying to show you are rich :)
What is the use buying a phone which normally costs a fortune, when you can have an average Nokia for a fraction? My 6310 works still like a dream.

Life / Vertu (or iPhone) in Poland ?? [19]

I cannot remember how often it dropped on the kitchen flloor, and it still works.
Battery life, I think much more as a trendy I-Phone.
SMS and phoning - for that it works just fine. For me a phone is basically for that.
Apps?

I think the Old Marshal would spit in your face and Dmowski would be proud of you. Cold Lech as well I think.
As the cross aliens and the PIS electorate and Polska B - all the same - you all should be proud of the reputation you are giving this country.

History / Polish history is 100% glorious [297]


Really? The Marshal was all in favour of the old Commonwealth...the emancipation of the minorities. Actually I think he would have got along quite well with Bismarck. The same sense of pragmatism.

Dmowski would be proud of you. Hoess also I think.

What is interesting...Ask any Pole which of his/her neighbours he likes - that will be the Slovaks and Hungarians. Nobody likes the Czechs. The uncanny thing is - in the whole of Central Europe only the Czechs did not support the Holocaust. The only nation without an antisemitic tradition. Poland's friends actively participated.
