USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

Polish winter sucks by any means.

If there is snow- it sucks, if there is no snow is sucks too. It is dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home.

Polish tour guide.
When will I ever learn that it is better to travel on my own? I learnt it again that a day trip to Berlin or anywhere for that matter is way less stressful without some undersexed, frustrated, homophobic, anti German tour guide.

All happy and hopeful when boarding a tour bus a scanned the face of the tour guide. He looked to say the least unhappy. I didn't have to wait long for his happiness to ruin my day trip to Berlin. At 7 am ( when I was still half asleep) he started to bombard the group with the anti German propaganda. My travel company has never heard me swear so much. By the time we reached Berlin we already moved to the back of the bus due to the group attempt to hush up up. The tour guide was similar to Polonius 3 with his views, although I can always stop reading PF if I don't like it. I could not leave the bus in Berlin. Other passengers tried to cope by drinking (on a day trip) or making out at the back of the bus. To make the story short- we left the bus in a hurry and went to the Museum in order to recover hope in human civilization - it was successful, well, until we went back to the bus, where the tour guide continued his lecture about how bad Germans really are.

Well, we are getting our money back for this trip.

x-mas was a typical Polish x-mas : too much food, too much rest and bad TV programs. The highlight was the action of unplugging my father's state of the art vacuum cleaner, during which I found some needles from the x-mas tree from last year.

until later:)

Off-Topic / Ukrainian language [50]

That's the point, many of them were raised speaking Russian and during the Soviet times didn't identify with the Ukrainian language, which was looked upon as peasants' dialect.

sounds like a wishful thinking on your part. I am Ukrainian and I have never heard that Ukrainian was a peasant language. It is a language which had its ups and downs over the centuries, but it def survived and it is no peasant by any means.

Food / Coffee in Poland: cheap and undrinkable / expensive and good [89]

In Warsaw, Green Coffee (a local company) is expanding and is a class apart.

in Warsaw, but not here. I have no alternative. There is a coffee place with good coffee, but the stuff is in a bad mood all the time - no thanks- it is just coffee;)

News / Polish Domination by Germany [69]

versteht sich von selbst. didnt expect other outcome...consider yourself germanized/merkelized. ;)
was war so besonders in berlin? small test german. :)

I would rather be Germanized then PiS- onized- trust me. We already have a German family member married to one of my relatives, so I am taking German, because he is learning Polish -although we can speak English.

What was I doing in Berlin? Went to X-mas market, because there are none where I live.

What do you all think of Poland becoming a part of the new Greater Germany under Emperess Merkel due to the Euro crisis.

cannot be better. Just returned from Berlin and I love it. I am starting taking German again this week:)

Travel / Differences between trains in Poland? [15]

Tickets purchased at Warsaw Centralna have also been consistent with online rates. Any ideas?

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Here in Canada from what I gather most parents opt to have this done simply because they want their son to look the same as the other boys .

so it is a fashion statement in Canada?

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

The power of words has moved the mountains, which cannot be said about some posters on PF. Not everyone is as lucky as Sharly, who, after a lengthy, yet involuntary writing "apprenticeship" decided to leave for better waters of worldly literature.

I am hoping for the same, but I am not ready yet, therefore I am still trying to navigate in the somewhat murky waters of PF.

American Export(s)
We all know that Europe is not so found of the American export, unless it is a fast food chain later adopted to European standards in a form of an underground and stylish McDonald in Krakow, or a fancy Starbucks in Szczecin when the teenage prostitutes can pick their middle aged clients, who finally discovered that paying for a cuppa and some cosmetics will get them an unforgivable feeling in the underground parking.

We all like the American rock, jazz and literature. We like the cars, the American English, which is way easier to comprehend then the British. Not to mention the shopping in the US - it is way cheaper then in the Old and Expensive Europe.

In the age of the internet we also have to struggle with the bombardment of the American Idiocy aka Ideology. Zimmy seems to take the lead in trying to convince us that the American ideology and a way of thinking (did I say it?) is a sure way of making PF readers realize that until now we all have been in the dark. Lately Sky is following Zimmy's steps, but in a much gentler style.

Emerging writing talents
Who would have thought that PF would be a lunching pad for some writing talents?
Havok feels old enough to do some write ups about his past since he is already over 30. I know that the present book authors are getting younger. One would think that it would be an advantage and it is to a degree. We finally have some inside look into what it is to be a human being at different stages of development.

There is another one, but I will not bite the hand which feeds me with a daily dose of brilliance and since I moved to Poland it seems more needed on the daily basis.

Southern has been writing for a long time now, but he could be compared to me playing snooker. I have not made progress since the last time I kicked the ball off the table in some shady bar in Toronto. Yet, the enthusiasm for the game has never left me.

Fiesta for sale
It hasn’t beeb going too well I think. The seller lowered the price so much that the potencial buyers became suspicious. The owner swiched tactics and rasied the price. To no evail. Damn air freshners from Lidl.

The usual offenders aka Missing in action

We all know there are benefits of staying away from PF. One can finally have a normal life, is able to regain a healthy and most of all, a realistic perspective on life and can have time to watch the last edition of Dancing with the Stars. The wine tastes better, the kisses are longer and the sex is not hurried anymore.

Or……..
the Missus has been gone for sometime, but you failed to notice. The only way to cope with the stress is to drink yourself silly and become a member of a cookign forum for the crossdressers or an origami forum for beginners. It actually is not a bad idea since I did a research last night and the X–mas tree in origami style is sweet to say the least.

The diva takes it all
Words have never had so little meaning.

Bloody Canadians
Yes, Canadians!!!!!!!!! Why do they even come to this forum and present us with all the rational, to the point and realistic posts? Don’t they know that their fairly newly discovered confidence and their trust in the Canadian system is only a way of keeping the troubled and burried underneath the snow or a sheet of ice citizens by the not so PC government people in check. How else would the government make people go to work in the -30 weather on the sunny day? Well, Timmies and Starbucks might have something to do with it. Not too mention the maple syrup, which is the best energy boost, provided you suck it directly from the maple tree.

Regardless, their behaviour is very „uneuropean“, but what are you gonna do, eh? I blame it on the snow. Get your shovels ready!!!!!!!!!

The broken record case
Zimmy has been know most of the frequent and no so frequent members of PF. Only the most gentle or the unaware will reply to his posts. Foreigner 4 ( where are the other 3 I keep wondering day and night) has decided to find some reasoning in Zimmy’s posts. He must be ready for a career change or has a dream of becoming the US attoreny for the most hopeless court cases. The truth is that the unvoluntarliy practice with Zimmy will get him ready for a mad house in no time. Foreigner4, save up your energy for something else, since the lost causes are not in style anymore. These days it is all about comfort, peace and saving animals and trees.

I am a daddy now

Does having children put the brains back in some men’s skulls?

How many languages do you speak

Some Pfs speak the language I will never comprehend.

Polish women are the most beaufiful in the world
Well, not when the yelling at their hubbies.

Does 5200 PLN enough for a decent living?
What has money got to do with that?

Pants on fire
Another national Polish trade is to twist the truth. I honeslty doubt that Poles are leaders in that respect. It is enough to read southern’s post and by comparison Poles are angels in covering up their daily misfortunes.

A laughing box
Either Pawian got a bigger computer screen, or he finally got his reading glasses. It is also possible that he got kicked of from another forum, or maybe his wife is taking yoga classes. Regardles, PF has been benefiting from his clear, precise and often cruel spying techniqes on other members. The nice chap who used to post pics of Polish trees, monuments, swans and strange unundentified Polish objects seems to have changes his hat.

Sex on the beach
Has gone out of style. Poland’s couple took a shot at the water park and became the news all over the world. Well, at least the Duck have been replaced by somebody more lively. The tread has brough a wild side in some posters and we found out that ShawH always leaves the wilderness the way he found it. Patty had less lack with going wild then the infamous Polish couple, but she is lucky that those where the days when only a pervertd cops would be holding the flesh light and telling her to turn the ignition on.

Polon 3
What’s with the numbers. I am not going to wonder who the other 2 are. It is not that important since Polon 3 seems to be getting his daily fix by patronzing our native Poles actually living the Polish life in Poland. We should all turn back the time in live in a detached and fairly tale of the dude’s strange imaginary world.

Latest news
The offenders are back so I can say goodbye to peace, slow pace and boredom.

News / Couple Busted For Having Sex On Water Slide At Opoczno, Poland Amusement Park [30]

don't blame you really. It it usually to cold or too many policemen in Canada. Btw - I have heard that students have sex on regular basis in the Robarts library at UofT in order to relive pre exam stress and there is a pool in TO when people do the same, so.........;)

On topic.

I watched that video and as far as I know the couple could not be identified according to Polish news.

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

I see, so it's ok to discriminate in the Polish parliament (uhm, uhm, spell check? ;)) but not in other workplaces? I see, it makes no sense to me but then again, I only do computer games.

it is not OK to discriminate anywhere, yet it happens all the time. If you want to spend time with the company of your choice it would not be the government office, nor a Parliament since the latter is not a social club. ( I can see Flagless coming up with some off the wall comment). That is all I meant.

What spell check? You must have it on American English most likely:D

Anyways, are you drunk?

Aphrodite - totally disagree. The affirmative action is sexist and racist. The goals are noble and I support them. However to say that it's ok to discriminate today because of past practices is a horrible solution.

who is Aphrodite lol
