Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

The electric Nissan leaf and Mitsubishi were total flops.

Bollocks of the first order.

Since its inception, more than 250,000 Leafs have been sold worldwide through December 2016, making the Leaf the world's all-time best-selling highway-capable electric car in history.

News / Will America send troops to fight a Russian invasion of Baltics and/or Poland? [281]

still no one is able to provide conclusive evidence of the presence of regular Russian military formations in east Ukraine

Except the rest of the world has dropped sanctions on Russia and the Russians are screaming about it. Nobody believes you because nobody is that stupid.

Ill keep my American small block v8 German v8s and v12s and turbo diesels thank you very much.

You will get to enjoy that from classic cars, but for day to day uses electric is going to replace ICE within a decade.

News / Polish man tries to sell British mother into white slave trade [128]

Clearly something is very wrong with British society....

Village idiot sees money in the UK and comes up with a money making scheme based on a fantasy story he read about on the internet: the demand for Polish girls by Arabs in Egypt.

Real Estate / How Poles can pay wlasny? (mortgage) [16]

What you consider a risk is quite different from what the regulator considers a risk, and they set the rules not the bank or you and I.

For instance, did you know that the exit strategy of a sale cost twice as much for a bank as a remortgage (with another bank)?

Real Estate / How Poles can pay wlasny? (mortgage) [16]

I personally rejected a mortgage deal which would have completely tied my hands and incurred costs far above what were once considered reasonable.

Wasn't that a short term development loan? There are very good reasons for the terms you were offered, chief among them is that very large numbers of borrows don't pay the money back on time which results in damage to a bank that exceeds the financial benefit they may achieve.

And by damage, I mean lose their banking license. The result is banks don't/won't do those sort of loans and the cost to do them for other companies is vastly higher (banks can borrow for as a little as 0% interest, non- banks pay 4-10%)

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

ant-foreign sentiment seethes below the surface, same as in France, Poland, Sweden, The Netherlands, even Denmark:-)

Its everywhere. America, Europe, Australia, Russia, China varying levels of racism. Its human nature, apparently. Some animals attack, kill and even eat other social groups of the same species.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [565]

If you're okay with that continuing for the foreseeable future, then.... carry on.

Its a direct result of the actions of the US president Bush and Tony ******* Blair.

There is nothing we can do about it now, except hunt down and kill the *****. Panicking like the Americans are wont to do is pointless.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [565]

I was in pub a couple of hundred meters away from the attack. Buggers closed London Bridge station so I had to walk to Waterloo instead.

Nice to see that people, thousands of miles away, view this as the end of civilisation as we know it.

News / Mysterious death of Magdalena Żuk on holiday in Egypt [144]

it's kind of 'shocking' when a young woman is dead though isn't it? not very well 'managed',

No more shocking than the 10,000 people who die every single hour of 365 days of the year.

Every year one in 500 people have a incident or are managing psychosis. Nothing unusual, rare or shocking about it,

News / Mysterious death of Magdalena Żuk on holiday in Egypt [144]

If she had her drinks spiked THAT would explain everything.

No it wouldn't.

For a start, spiking drinks is extremely unusual in reality its an excuse people use to cover the fact that they got drunk.

The other issue is that the drugs put in drinks don't make you psychotic.

Larium does male you psychotic and is often taken for the first time on holiday.

Real Estate / How much would it cost to build a house in Poland? [23]

Are you sure you aren't confusing feet for meters?

1500m2 in an office is enough to support 100 people.

Its 30 x one bedroom flats.

How many children are you going to have - 50?

What do you mean delph, you have already said that Le Pen is being funded by Russia just like Crooked Hillary accused President Trump of only to be dismissed after a lengthy investigation.

Le Pen doesn't deny the funds are from Russia, only you.

"A man in the force of years" (człowiek w sile wieku) is one that comes to mind.

Doesn't exist in Google. I've never heard before.
