Travel / Polish Marine Traffic [2]

Here is a site that is useful to anyone with an interest in whats coming in and out of Poland by sea.

Use the guide on the left of the screen to see if the ship is a cargo vessel, passenger carrier, tanker etc - then click on the icon to tell you where its destination is, its cargo, speed, direction and ETA.

All data is live.

History / Jaruzelski asked Soviets for assistance [51]

Actually, we're talking about Martial Law in 1981.

My mistake - I have been reading about 1970 lately and it was on my mind.

History / Jaruzelski asked Soviets for assistance [51]

I'm surprised there aren't more threads about this.
Timely reminder of what happened in December 1970.

Is there accurate figures for how many people were killed ?

News / Twinnings moving to Poland [4]

Twinings of London are to shed 236 jobs in England as part of this move. I dont think a site has been identified yet, if you go to the Associated British Foods website and ask customer relations.

Probably in the North near the ports and near a population centre.

Theyre like 6 of them that walk into the bar all dolled up in high heels and pass out drinks:)

Yeah, that happens to me a lot
- then the Alarm wakes me up to go to work.

They dress up in black and spray you with deodorant cans. Very sexy!

I prefer the sound of

They show up at the polish bars and give away shooters:)

Wait a minute - am I being too fussy here ?

News / Nigel Farage voice of reason for Poland and EU? [79]

He is a good speaker and seems to enjoy being part of the theatre he is criticising.
He makes good clear points but starts to lose focus a bit when he goes on about CND - could have gone on about nepotism a bit more.

The real loser in this clip is the chair, Jerzy Buzek - he is so weak.

UKIP are irrelevant in Scotland - they didnt even field a candidate at the last bye election in Glasgow.

Crazy

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

Ok, so you have a choice.
1) Sit at home in Scotland - there is a frost tonight, rain tomorrow.
or
2)Be in the Bahamas sipping Rum, out on the boat, maybe chill on the beach later.

No brainer.

Connery

Thou shalt not take the name of Sean ( Hallowed be thy name ) Connery in vain !

slips into each role very nicely

Apart from maybe his Irish accent in The Untouchables or his Russian accent in Red October.

"All women need a good smack once in awhile." - he was misquoted.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

I think Dan Gillerman summed up

Didn't Mahmoud Ahmadinejad say something similar ?

booby-trapped their houses

Can you elaborate on that please.

The Israeli army does what it can to minimize civilian deaths

The stats from operation cast lead show that the IDF are complete failures in this respect.

Hamas bear equal responsibility for the death of those killed by the IDF

C'mon, thats stretching it a bit.

Does Hamas use terror against civilians - yes.
Does the IDF use terror against civilians - yes.

Why support or seek to defend either ?

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

That could equally be said for Hezbollah

1,200 Lebanese and 158 Israelis were killed. Of the dead almost 1,000 Lebanese and 41 Israelis were civilians

The stats speak for themselves.
Israeli terrorists have a civilian kill rate of 1 combatant per 5 civvies.
Hezbollah terrorist have a kill rate of 1 combatant per 4 civvies.

Hezbollah rockets weren't being fired at military targets were they??

They had a better strike rate - unless you are saying that Israel purposely targetted civvies - in which case you would be correct.

drug-lords

Israel traded 400 Arab prisoners to free an Israeli drug lord.

Hezbollah are more likely to be buying pharmaceuticals for their hospitals and health centres.

them last time they fired their rockets at Israel

Yep, Israel thought they would have a quick success and Hezbollah were more than their match ( South Lebannon - 2006).

As usual, Israel had no regard for civilian casualties - 1,200 Lebanese and 158 Israelis were killed. Of the dead almost 1,000 Lebanese and 41 Israelis were civilians

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Jews, Jews, Joos, Juice........

Being a wee laddie from the North of Scotland with limited experience of coming in to contact with Jewery ( I think at the last census there was about 250 in an area the size of Belgium ) I have dejuced the following, there are

Jews - normal blokes that happen to be four by twoish.

Israelis - That happen to be Joos in Israel.

Zionists - That are Jews and are fanatical about it.

Nutjobs - That would probably be nutjobs in any religion but they just happen to be Jewish so Jewish supremacy it is.

Of course there are also those that are a mixture of one,the other or all of the above.

Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong in my theory or are all Jews the same ?

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

The whole world knew what was going on, yet nobody of the Western world stopped it.

Too true, I remember seeing a film ( or TV programme ) on General Romeo Dallaire. Poor guy had to stand and watch as his own troops and civvies were killed.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

So you are telling me that if two gorgeous women come up to me in the street and want to take me to a bar and get me to buy them cocktails - there is a fair chance I am getting ripped off ?????

Nah, refuse to believe it !!!!!

Now i know not go somewhere i where i get invited from the street

To be honest, a lot of street promotion is legit. Lets face it, half the bars in Krakow are hidden away in basements.
Get a bit of crack with the PRs, find out prices etc and you can have a good night.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]

How many white kids grow up the townships?

The townships have changed quite a bit, although there were always mansions in large ones like Soweto.
maponyamall.co.za/about_us/about.asp

Or have no education?

If you live on a farm in the middle of the Transvaal - where do you get your education from ?

White kids are the most privileged in SA

15 years ago, not now. Oh, and not all white kids were.

all live in gated accommodation with their families.

Wrong, any gated communities outside the major cities ?

They have little contact with the communities that are most affected by sexual violence and crime.

They are part of that community.
