Work / Why is Polish workmanship so bad? [52]

frd:
because capitalism in our country started not so long ago

So how does that stop you from using those vodka-saturated Catholic brains of yours?

Life / Ripped Off in Poland? - Expose here: [185]

If you travel to and from Poland by coach, NEVER travel by "Orbis" nor "Sindbad". My very recent travel experiences with them BOTH ways UK - PL - UK are: toilets out of order (is that legal?); luggage only accepted if you bribe the staff a tenner; coach smelly; windows filthy; very rude staff etc., etc. A jerk who 'works' for Orbis wouldn't take my suitcase (ONE normal-sized one) until I gave him ten pounds. He called it a "wersalka"! Now that's what I call a Polish Catholic chain-smoking lard & vodka guzzler. Everyone on the coach was complaining they were ripped off. PASS THIS ON. Orbis and Sindbad deserve to go bust!!

I said this in another thread: the Polish work ethic is "why do something right when you can always f*k it up.

Magdalena:
You would still have to be able to prove it in a court of law.

Only if you're the plaintiff. Or is it that the foreigner is always wrong?

I still wake up screaming sometimes.

Keep taking the tablets, Magda.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Well 'przelotem', at least Poland is a MUCH better place now than it was 20 years ago, and now - almost - in the 21st Century (unless you belong to the church which is still in the 15th Century).

Forget the f*g batteries, forget pencils and fans and cheap clothes. I started this thread so you guys can name and shame those who ripped you off. What crap did you buy, name the shop or shop the person who did the dirty on you. Names and addresses etc. I've been shat on in PL by MANY individuals who assume I have a hundred mansions in the USA and can afford to be ripped off. Quite simply they're jealous, church-going Catholics who steal often (except Sunday when they have to be seen going to communion). Well, that's my personal experience.

...and?

OK, you bought batteries and...

Surely you know it's the principle, not the small change it cost, which is the point. Multiply that a few thousand times and you're rolling in it, mate. As for the 17.000 zl, that was for building work which was meantto be carried out. OK, call him a sucker, but he's a decent bloke who didn't deserve it. You just wait till you're ripped off.

News / The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign theft from Oswiecim, Poland [240]

The modern version of 'Arbeit Macht Frei' is "Karma Yoga Liberates You", by a big business called the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres all over the world. They make you work till you "burn out" as they call it. Whatever you do don't give those greedy so-and-so's a single groszy, unless you're happy to finance another castle for them like the one they have in Paris (they say they're a charity - yeah right!). They now have at least two places in Poland.

Genealogy / The Meaning and Origin of the Last name Czekaj [9]

Some Polish surnames are straight out of Monty Python. There are a few people I met called Jajecznica (Mr Scrambled Eggs!); or Wielobłota (Mr Loads-of-mud). Can you imagine having your name called out loud in your GP's surgery? And now for something completely different.....

Life / Ripped Off in Poland? - Expose here: [185]

Not only me but some of my friends have been ripped off in Poland; some big time (ie to the tune of 17.000 zl). This is in ways you wouldn't expect in, say, the UK or USA etc. In Bochnia I bought a pack of brand new DURACELL batteries from a decent-looking shop in "Pod Filarami". It's the only shop there which sells electrical stuff like calculators etc. OK that's small-time stuff, but it's still annoying and being ripped off all mounts up over a period of time.

Name and shame who ripped you off.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Maybe this was already mentioned somewhere here but anyway:

1 - almost everyone chainsmokes
2 - almost everyone eats animals, especially pigs
3 - the place is under snow for 5 months of the year

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

At last, it looks like (hopefully) JohnP has woken up to the basic fact that we aren't as stupid as his establishment bosses hope we are. Hooray. Not even my cat believes the brainless fairy story that 9/11 wasn't an inside job.

2. Closemindedness(is that a word)

That's narrowmindedness. The Krk /Kościół rzymskokatolicki/ is responsible for Poland still being stuck in mediaeval times. They have made Poland a joke abroad. As for the bad economy, it's originally the red revenge at the end of the Communist era. They ensured that the Western system so long fought and desired for by the ordinary Polish people was the worst possible form. Their mindset was: "chciałeś, to masz!".

So, Polish Church and Polish politics; the combination of the current systems couldn't be worse for Poland.

All in all, it strongly looks like JohnP is the end product of establishment brainwashing, and a CIA agent. Of course he'll deny every word of it.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

You're saying it's OK for USA and UK to have WMDs, but not who they decide is an 'enemy'? Funny how whatever 'enemy' it is, just happens to be sitting on oil.

Remember the Yankee attacks on the Balkans about 20 yerars ago? They have SOME oil, but not huge reserves like Iran has. Iran is next.
With all the technology and expertise USA has, they didn't manage to find WMDs? Come off it. And who put Saddam into power in the first place? USA.

Remember a Mr Kelly, the WMD expert? Funny how he took a walk down the road, and was found far off in the woods, having topped himself "because he couldn't stand the stress of being questioned". No-one to date has found WMDs in Iraq. That Hussein must have had magic powers to make them invisible.

Accept the fact that the real terrorists are in the White House and in Downing Street.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

I really like it when a Polish "builder" claims, when you ask him what he is skilled at, he'll usually say 'wszystko'. OK, let's see his pilot's licence, his gynaecologist's diplomas......

The one body that's got its act very well together is the Catholic Church (a.k.a. Krk). Who else can - or would - ban the film "RELIGULOUS" from the cinemas? Everything else is as well organised as a looneybin.

If you want something done (ie building or house repairs), it may as well be carried out by a Mexican snail on Valium with heart disease!

I've had much more stuff nicked in one year in Poland than in 20 in UK; and that by my own immediate family - PEASANTS!

On the positive side, there's (still) cheapISH beer and vodka (and lard!). If you're into eating pork (pigs have about 90% human genes), that's cheap too. Make the most of it; the prices will shoot up come the Euro.

The missiles will ultimately be controlled by the US president who publicly stated he was born on the planet Krypton, not in a manger (infowars). I'd feel safer under Monty Python. Keep taking the tablets, Obama.
