News / Komorowski won Poland's presidency vote? [125]
exactly, why the hell are everyone so sure it's over.. they haven't even released the first vote counting numbers
That is how politics works, of course this only applies to people easily influenced by populistic slogans and those who do not understand how economy works and so on..
I'm baffled, I was pretty sure all Marek Jurek voters will surely vote for Kaczyński..
Not yet, last time exit polls favoured LKs opponent as well.
exactly, why the hell are everyone so sure it's over.. they haven't even released the first vote counting numbers
Actually, people who don't want PiS to regain power, should have voted Kaczynski today.
After two years during which Civic Platform will have total political power - Prime Minister
and President, people will blame Civic Platform for everything bad in their lives. Silly as it

I voted Marek Jurek in the first round and stayed home today, as I can't possibly imagine
voting for either of the candidates.

In other countries there's more private sector bussiness and less public - hence more people actually caring about their jobs.

Life / Help me find this Polish band and song.... [117]
I did some googling earlier, couldn't find any hints :/ And the only "countryside" themed song from my childhood was "Rolnik sam w dolinie" ;) which was more of a child's game then a real song..
sounds like "rano" - morning, or "Panu" - lord, probably the first one, but if it was a religious song then it could have been "Panu"...
This one another version of "Rolnik sam w dolinie":
Rolnik sam w dolinie, rolnik sam w dolinie - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik sam w dolinie.
Rolnik orze pole, rolnik orze pole - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik orze pole.
Rolnik sieje zboże, rolnik sieje zboże - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik sieje zboże.
Rolnik kosi zboże, rolnik kosi zboże - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik kosi zboże.
Rolnik młóci zboże, rolnik młóci zboże - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik młóci zboże.
Rolnik miele mąkę, rolnik miele mąkę - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik miele mąkę.
Rolnik piecze chlebek, rolnik piecze chlebek - hejże, hejże, hejże ha!
Rolnik piecze chlebek.
but no crying in this one ; o

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]
stop moaning about the victory parade which this thread is clearly not about. Back to the topic - many pilots of all the countries claimed more shoot downs than they actually did. Basically pilots took hits for granted if they have noticed smoke or fire and the plane disappearing at the corners of their eyes. I've read "Poles in defense of GB" by Polish authors and they wrote that on numerous occasions polish pilots have misreported shot down planes that later turned out to come back to the german base safely. A pretty interesting book consists mainly of reports by english german and polish pilots (so is a bit boring if somebody doesn't like reading) It says a lot about some of the heroic flights by Poles but in the same moment it's not sugar icing. There's a lot of critic of polish pilots having hard time getting used to the steering and general handling of British planes (which they destroyed frequently and were sent back to training, some even over and over again) or multiple cases of friendly fire by Polish pilots. Despite massive failing instances I personally think they did a good job there. Case closed. ;o
damn I must be really tired ;) "doesn't like reading tables with lots of numbers and similar data" ;)
Please don't trot out the old lies again: 303 pilots were invited to the London Victory Parade. And they were also all given jobs and homes for themselves and their families, far more than Poland ever gave it's defeated allies.

I haven't mentioned any peasant jargons - but accents are same for educated and non-educated people. Hence I can't see the need to degrade some poor babcias ;) Actually countryside - if that's what you mean by mentioning "peasants" - is the natural habitat for sustaining different accents and dialects...
