History / Welcome to Lemmingrad! [59]

hey polonious, do you have any links to well researched 'conspiracy sites about these murders/accidents? I am interested in investigative journalism and proffesional hypothesies, for instance the leper thing was about massive real estate fraud.

While i do not subscribe to an overarching russian conspiracy, i do think different factions of organised crime and inteligence services are involved with issues that do date back the shock therapy/privatisations of the early nineties. We all now how na ostro polish politics and big business play. In fact the last outgoing brittish ambasador said that the worst thing in poland is that the rich are above the law in his farewell speech.

Life / Thinking of a move to Wroclaw, Poland [13]

haha yes its true once u get out of the inner city things start to look a bit grim, i had a bunch of 12 year old skins want to fight me cause i said i had no problem with muzini. and this was in Podgórze just south of kazimierz. delphiandomine\ will have no chance in this poznan slum neighbourhood, he will be lucky to get out there with a few bruises, sans his wallet.

Of course if he goes with his burly polish mates it might be a different story.

UK, Ireland / UK passports if resident in Poland [19]

This means you are unable to prove your identity to Polish police when requested to do so and failing to be able to do that means you can be locked up until your identity (and immigration status) can be established

We can live in hope.. :)

Life / Best Polish production TV show [12]

check out ekstradycja , a great series about police officer trying to take out a drug kingpin and related corruption from his own ranks. Produced in the nineties, it was a nice commentry on the social ills that came with the shock therapy of capitalism. On torrent most episodes have english subtitles. Was a seminal series.

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

Yep.. out of the european lcc's easyjet is my favorite, I would think okencie will now get honest and start to lower their charges to attract easyjet. Would be great to fly to charles de gaule airport on easyjet instead of that dreadfull Beauvais.

History / Do any Poles miss the Communist era? [35]

On real life tests czech still comes out on top, transport infrastructure, less crime, better social services etc. All of these are the result of the country being richer.

Related: Trybuna (Ludu) Newspaper no longer available

The once-powerful mouthpiece of Poland's communist party fell silent on Monday, bowing to the demands of the free market 20 years after the advent of democracy in eastern Europe.

"Dear readers, from the weekend Trybuna is no longer available at newsstands. The publisher of our newspaper took the decision to suspend publication due to the difficult material situation," Trybuna said in a short note on its website.

Trybuna no longer available at Newsagents.

What will I do for unbiased reporting now?

Good! I can buy much better toilet paper in a supermarket. Delicate and scented. Don't despair. A similar paper is stll available. It is called GWno. No problems finding it.

Law / Got Polish citizenship, now I need a Pesel and passport [26]

Yes you must have a registered address 'meldunek' if you want to apply in poland. Better to do it overseas in the country of your birth. However if you rent you can get meldunek.

I am pretty sure that you need a dowod osobiesty first before you can apply for polish passport if you apply inside poland.

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

a) Does Warsaw even need a second airport?
b) In what way is it a leg up?

Yes it does because the charges at okencie are to high for low cost airlines. It is a proven model in many cities to have a 'main' airport for traditional carriers and a 2nd 'basic' and further out airport for low cost airlines.

There will be more lcc flights to warsaw which in turn will stimulate demand.
Also 2 airports will lead to more competiton. The fact that wizz is moving to modlin means there is a chance easyjet will be lured back to okencie

News / Warsaw Modlin Airport is finally moving [29]

Thats right the airport bus will go to Novy Dwor with new services from central.
A train station at modlin airport with skm trains running from central is planned within a year of the airport opening. There is already an rail siding to the airport so it just needs to be electrified and cleaned up. The problem that Modlin is facing is that it will be already overcrowded when it opens, it was built too small and will remind people of the dreadfull etudia terminal at okencie years ago.

This is a good article that shows how ryanair and wizzair do not really compete as they are both funded by indigo partners. Since then they have a few routes that they share but never to the same airport.

ryanair wants to open up a massive base at modlin, but they seem to have a dodgy non compete agreement with wizz air (same investors) so i guess wizz air will be the main player here. Harry, there will be a bus to the railway station a few km down the road.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

Wow the dude from PO basically told the US to butt out, that poland and the US are sopoused to partners, this is an internal matter and the US should act more appropriately.

I feel that Polish people are very pragmatic but mildly apathetic at the same time. the whole concept of protesting just for the sake of protesting
is quite alien for them

Spot on but it seems that the winds of change are too blowing over poland i again, this apathy is not shared by the youth who are in their early 20s and under, However the late 20s generation are very materialistic and don't really care about politics or social change. Generaliastions i know but they mostly hold true.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

sorry i meant after the fall of communism , people just sort of accepted the laisre faire american model. I was talking about contempory issues like the iraq war, corrupiton and health care etc I guess this is a natural process after fighting so long to get rid of communism.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]

There were thousands of protesters in lublin of all places, this is turning into a big issue and is getting world wide coverage. It's interesting that poles hold the freedoms of the internet so dear., perhaps because society is so conservative and also older people have not learnt to protest about bread and butter issues but with something as new as the internet the youth are leading the way. I am proud of poland and its youth in there enthusiastic desire to agitate for change and standing up to power. The upcoming protest in warsaw this weekend should be huge!
