That would do it, I reckon. And Polish widows are quite cheap to maintain, as long as you can stop them sending money to Radio Marya.

Guys. Polonius is exempt from backing up his libel because he Just knows. He feels it. He gets a vibe. And he says he doesn't like hippies.

Sounds like the usual romantic crap about ruddy-faced yeomen farmers wassailing. As we speak I have a can of Żywiec in front of me. The figures on the can look nothing like the guys I see outside the nightshop at six in the morning in Poland.

Thanks very much for your informative reply; much obliged.


Half: mother Irish, Dad a Londoner. In fact I've probably got a bit more than half, as they used to say in London, "Everyone has an Irish grandmother". Then again, my mother's grandfather was English. People in the British isles are well mixed up genetically, which no doubt strengthens the gene pool.

If you walk through a doorway in Poland and then hold the door open for someone else coming behind you, why don't they thank you? This used to p1ss me off but I know Polish people are generally very polite, so it must be something else. I know this may seem trivial when compared with elected kings, etc. but it intrigues me.

Who's going to tell him?

Life / Do Poles drink before noon? [95]

It's a village where people either farm or commute. There are quite a few dairy cows and, yes, people keep hens. I doubt many of the farmers' kids want to continue farming on a small scale because it's a rotten job. When I'm having my morning coffee at six o'clock I can see people bringing their milk churns to the depot up the road. Who would want to do that? Some of these people have a just couple of cows. How much milk is that? 30l/day/cow?

Do you mean the Indeks?


Ask to see their Indeks. It's a semester-by-semester record of their grades for each subject on their course. If they say it's in Poland, don't believe it. The degree and the Indeks go together when Polish graduates apply for jobs. As for cheating, don't get me started...

As far as I know the Dyplom folder is for their degree certificate. btw the Indeks is history now. First years last academic year were not issued with one. It's all done online now (nightmare).

hudsonhicks. It's not going to change, is it? The England you would like to see is never, ever going to happen. Are you going to let this bitterness eat you up for the rest of your life, or are you going to find a way of dealing with how you feel? If it bugs you so much, why not emigrate? I'm not kidding.

Food / The great British teabag hunt thread [66]

The tea is only one component in a good brew. The water is the other. You have to find a tea that goes well with your local water. That's why blenders blend tea for particular areas. I've posted here before about the excellent 'Yorkshire Tea' brand, which tastes great in the north of England but awful in London.

Bleugh! Don't tell me you put UHT milk in tea. I stopped putting any dairy products in my cup decades ago, and now, when I'm back in blighty, I take my tea as nature intended there, too. Once you go black, you never go back. Or something like that.


I have no doubt that the excellent people at Twinings take the water into consideration. Their tea tastes great where I live, anyway.

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


Moscow, ca. 1996. Hungry and tired of fish with dill I spy a modern-looking fast food place. Above the counter they have the usual meal deals illustrated by back-lit photos. I ask for number one and the lady starts telling me something I don't understand. After a while she calls her colleague from behind the scenes. This lady has obviously been coached by her boss in a very useful English phrase, which she no doubt has to say many times every day. She clears her throat, gestures towards the display photos and says, "Is only for beautiful; is only for beautiful."

Then I saw the real menu and chose fish with dill.
