Just registered my vote for Wyborowa.
Cant believe how many people say Zubrowka is their favourite. Ive had a bottle of it in the house for ages - and thats saying something.

Must be the ladies.

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]

Briefly speaking -
Gazprom ( Russia ) control a lot of the supply to Eastern and Central Europe, including Poland.
Periodically they turn it off when Putin gets peed off.

To prevent this Poland is looking to get 20% of its hydrocarbons from Norway (Skanled).

Because this wil lessen Russian influence, Russia up the stakes by building a pipeline to Germany which bypasses Poland.

US are looking to gain influence in EU by building a pipeline through the Stans ( including Afghanistan).


USA saved Georgia ???


Russia/USA - whats the difference ?

19th Century.
Who has repatriated more land - Russia in the last 30 years or USA in its entire history ?
( Ok, apart from the Phillipines )

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]


What about in Russia - Barents, Yamal peninsula, Sakhalin etc etc
Russian influence - Iraq, Iran, Africa etc etc

What would Europe do if Russia chose to sell their West Siberian gas to China instead ?

Edit - Together Russia and Iran have nearly 20% of the worlds proven oil and gas reserves. Still a lot of drilling to be done.

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]


oil pipeline linking Russia’s far east with northeast China is set to start operations late next year, state media reports. Construction of the pipeline, slated to run from Skovorodino to Daqing and is projected to carry 15 million tonnes of crude oil annually between 2011 and 2030. - China Business News 2009


I would say its wrong, the proven reserves will still be producing for decades.


October 13th 2009 - Lukoil ( Russia ) agree terms to start drilling in West Qurna-1 ( proven crude oil reserves of 8.6 billion barrels ).


Nah, its the geo political situation that is the most important factor.

Welcome to the forums.

One thing I am wondering - what do you want out of the relationship ?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


Sounds like they are taking the proverbial.

As flattering as it is to think that women 20 yrs younger are after your body, the reality is they probably are not and instead, are enjoying playing along a more senior person at their whim.

Tell them to take a hike.

Love / My husband is Polish and I was wondering why he drinks all the time. [66]

Six drinks on a Sunday doesn't sound like a big deal. Being drunk every night after work is.

Having a drink is no excuse for behaving like an arse. I have a feeling he would be an arse with or without the drink.

Life / Beggers namely Kurwa boys in Poland [70]

I thought the beggars in Poland weren't too bad compared with others - "dwa Zloty" was the usual request - met with a "Youre joking mate - I'm Scottish" response.

The worst are in Paris - Albanian Gypsies who shove a note in your hand written in English
" My huband is dying of Leukimia and my children are hungry" - kinda sick.

Life / Beggers namely Kurwa boys in Poland [70]


They wrote on the card that they were from Albania, the families dress suggested they were Gypsies.

I concluded they were Albanian Gypsies but I was skeptical over their life story and the incredible bad luck they were having.

Edit - here is a link with a pic what do you reckon?

Life / Beggers namely Kurwa boys in Poland [70]

It would appear that they were probably from Romania. Apparently they get more money if they say they are from Albania or Bosnia.
The clip at 1.30 explains why..

Travel / What should I wear in winter in Poland? [29]

So the answer seems to be - Timberland Boots, Jeans and a thick check shirt.

Wearing a KD Lang T shirt is an optional extra.

The townships have changed quite a bit, although there were always mansions in large ones like Soweto.

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


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


Wrong, any gated communities outside the major cities ?


They are part of that community.

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 !!!!!


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.

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.
