I'd guess it'll be prosecuted in the same way. There are already 'virtual' images of child abuse and these are certainly illegal.

Some countries' precise laws may need a little tweaking however that is normal.


Remember, AI is only a step towards something that will follow it.

By some.

They were mostly just fairly ordinary people. Very few of them were nobility or anything like it.

Cheapness for the provider, increased profit margin.

CDs had a massive margin compared to vinyl.

Downloading music and those appalling talent shows have only made things worse however the companies that push them make a higher margin.

There's nothing good about it.

Some people do like it. And remember, we're relatively old. People under 25 or even 30 nowadays think that the internet is real life rather than a newspaper small ad that blinks.


And always tell someone where she's gone and with whom. That or leave a note.

News / Brilliant Poles and Polesses - presentation [64]


This one looks even more old fashioned.

Love / Polish guy canceled 3rd date on me, is he uninterested or am I reading too much into it [32]


We're talking about dating and the fact that the woman usually calls the shots not individual religious views on marital dynamics.

Some "good books" permit polygamy, anyway and some religions forbid dating.

That's a bit like parts of Africa except there they roll a cone of paper first and then tip the herb in through the wide end of the cone.


I'd probably have docked it already and had it put aside early on.

It's amazing how much gets wasted sometimes. You see people chucking away dimps with a one sheeter's worth in.

Indeed.

To get back to the lady who made the first post, it's just the same online or off with some guys. They'll promise anything but just want a notch on their bedpost.

If she's doing online dating she needs to remember to treat it like TV ads in that 90% of the ones she sees are either lying or aimed at someone else, 9% sound better but are timewasting and within that remaining 1% there's a product that suits.

And she should remember that as a woman, she can call the shots.

He reminds me of an old scabby donkey that someone I knew got from a rescue sanctuary. It had some sort of bleed on the brain and just used to run around in circles making weird braying noises annoying the neighbours.

They had it shot after a week or two.

There are some very very nice ones there, for those who like those things. Perhaps all these 'comments' are from people who buy at supermarkets which have rubbish tomatoes in Poland as well.

That or people originally from villages who have a genetic need to touch soil and probably grow their own.

Is not decided by you.

A poster described you a few minutes ago as "a full time troll".

A fair description however I'd also describe you as a crazy who just repeats the same boring crap again and again.

Middle class isn't a socialist term. Bourgeois is, so I'll use bourgeois.


And each Kaczynski considered himself a great leader.


Yes, the most distinguished Polish historian, Norman Davies, points out the inconsistency with numbers and terminology.

Of course not; we met through mutual friends. We aren't married though, even after 15 years. We probably will sooner or later though.

Is that how you met yours?

You need a plural.

You have many problems.

Not many of those. 1% of the population. You're maybe confusing them with the middle class (szlachta), around 15% of the population.

No reason they shouldn't pour water or any other non-toxic substance. After all, in Czech they got the young ladies with sticks on Easter Monday.

For sure.

It's a hazard of online 'dating'.

There isn't one.

He doesn't sound interested. It was just sex from the internet.

MiniEuropa used to have frozen French lamb.

They called it lamb but from the look of it the animal in question must have been the tallest girl in the sixth form and definitely on the skinny side.

Parmo, not Parma (autocorrect).

Nice but not kind to anyone's waistline or cholesterol levels.

Made from wheat I think. Very old recipe.


Me too.


They can't say "thee" and "tha" (a very South Yorkshire thing; I grew up saying it) with the "th". They pronounce it a bit like dee and dah.

There's a ton of regional dishes, some half forgotten. Some nice ones from east anglia and Lincolnshire. The northern ones tend to be a bit less user friendly since they're from poorer or geographically wilder places. Catholic Pie from Lancashire is nice. I like Bavarian Buns which you only ever see in Bradford.

The North East is a bit special about traditional food. Singing Hinnies, pease pudding (Northumberland hummus), the best kippers in the world and since WW2, there's Parma, an Italian/American/Middlesbrough fusion food.

About food from the south, I don't know much since I've not really been there much apart from London. A friend from Kent says there are local specialties where he's from.

What about the South West? Is there anything there that you don't see elsewhere?

I got some Henderson's Relish a while back. I'd not really had it despite it being a Sheffield thing and fairly local to me. They call it Hendo's there and Deedahs (Sheffield people) around the world take it with them or buy it online. It's been made for about 150 years about 100 yards from the original factory (just behind the big flats you see in The Full Monty).

It's a bit like an insipid Worcester Sauce without the kick. A bit like the very bland stuff they have in Germany and sell as Worcester Sauce. A sort of relation to Maggi.

It's good for vegans and I'd guess it would do as a substitute for a light soy sauce in cooking. Probably food with delicate Chinese recipes.


About Stargazy Pie, nobody outside Cornwall (where it was pretty well forgotten too) had even heard of it until about a decade ago when a theme park in China started selling it.

I like Dock Pudding (a Halifax specialty) and Herb Pudding (sort of Westmorland/south Lake District).

The latter is easy. Pearl barley, herbs (nettles are traditional, onion or leek, egg yolk and sometimes cream, baked in a mould.

Mushroom ketchup is nice. Rare in the shops and best home made.

Very nice if you cook them properly.

There are a lot in the U.K.; they tend to be sold fresh near the coast and of course there's a lot of coast.

They're sometimes eaten raw, just marinaded (if they're very fresh) though I'm not fond of that.

Any decent recipe for Coquilles Saint Jaques will do.

And not many tomatoes. More flavouring, dye and e numbers.


Eaten many, have you?
