My Russian lady is in Moscow at the moment , trying to sell our appartment , but she spent the summer here , and will be back for good soon . . .

Polonia / POLES vs BULGARIANS [160]

After 12 years living in Poland , i now live in Bulgaria . . . In Poland it was impossible to make my English car legal , here in Bulgaria its no problem , mind you it was also no problem in Moscow . . . I am not thought of as a free bankomat here , and there has been nobody trying to sell me stuff at twice the price or buy stuff off me for half the price . . .The people are warm and friendly and life here is much easier than i found it in Poland . . .My electric bills are a quater of what they were in Poland where i had a very basic house with almost no electrical stuff , here i have all electric stuff . . . I have some wonderfull friends in Poland , but i very much wish i had spent my 12 years here and not in Poland . . . .

UK, Ireland / Who can transport my car by trailer from UK to Poland? [23]

You won,t be able to make your English car legal in Poland anyway , i tried it . . . Its no problem in Russia where i lived for two years , and here in Bulgaria it took only four hours to change my English car to Bulgarian plates . . .In Poland . . .forget it . . .

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Poles don,t like any other nation . . .they will tolerate them while they are working in those countries , but they don,t like them . . .

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]

Poland being part of Moscow would be more likely , very handy for me , my Russian wife and i could live there without a visa , i could make my English car legal as i did easily in Moscow and Bulgaria , and i would not have to pay huge electric bills because i am English . . . my home in Bulgaria which has every electrical item you can think of cost seven times less than my farm in Poland which had only a computer and a few low energy bulbs . . .

News / Polish prosecutor 'shoots self after news conference' [93]


I was just replying to the statement that said it was probably a Russian hit man....

Since when has any Russian hit man faliled to kill the target after shooting them in the head at close range....?

For your information , i have many friends in the Polish air force , who i respect and admire , and thats probably why i have no respect for the people at the top who put my friends lives at risk by sloppy training methods...

And.... you can say what you like about Russia....if its true i will probably agree with you....

News / Polish prosecutor 'shoots self after news conference' [93]

Definatly not a Russian hit man....

For sure its a Polish job...the guy missed....and is still alive....

Law / Buying a world war two motorcycle in Poland to import to Ireland [2]

Are you interested in a 1930 model c Harley davidson.....?

Its in full working order...

News / Tragedy in Russia - shouldn`t Poland declare national mourning? [41]


That was unforgivable....even in times of war enemies respect the law of the sea and rescue their enemies from sinking ships if they can do it without putting themselves in danger...

To sail past a sinking ship of your own countrymen in peacetime is unbelievable.... The Russians know the name of these ships , and it seems have already identified and spoken to the captains , no doubt they will be punished....

Of course its possible the passing ships were overloaded with passengers , and were afraid of getting close to lots of survivors who would try to get on board...?

To be honest i think most of those who died were trapped in the boat when it sank , and even if a passing boat had come to the rescue it would not have been able to save many lives.....but its no excuse for not trying....

News / Tragedy in Russia - shouldn`t Poland declare national mourning? [41]


Russian news RIA NOVOSTI says this....

The ship, built in 1955 and renovated 30 years ago, had no license for carrying passengers and had a number of safety faults, including a broken engine and a list to starboard as well as being grossly overloaded.

News / Tragedy in Russia - shouldn`t Poland declare national mourning? [41]

Seems the boat had not been inspected for years it did not have a licence to carry passengers , it was overloaded , a boat designed for 120 passengers had almost 200 on board , one engine was not working properly , and it set off despite a storm forcast...

Thats not a tragic accident...its manslaughter....!

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


No , Poles have all kinds of noses , and quite often you see girls with quite a beak on them....

My friend Jowita has quite a long pointed nose...but she still looks beautifull ...

News / Tragedy in Russia - shouldn`t Poland declare national mourning? [41]

A terrible tragedy , but sadly one that was bound to happen...

These boats are old and in poor condition , they dont carry out regular safety inspections , and they are often carrying far more people than they were designed for...

No doubt there will be an inquiry , somebody will go to jail , the laws will be tightened , but not much will really change...

This is Russia , and sadly it won,t be the last time that people die due to poor management , greed and slack operation...

As always the innocent suffer...

Travel / Poland wildlife and similar wild life where you live. [246]


It seems so.... i read it on some science page.....

Before i went on my first trip to Belarus and Russia via the Baltic states i had an injection to prevent tick borne encaphalitus , as i was doing a lot of wild camping in the forests...not a pleasant injection , but not as nasty as the Rabies injection i had...

during my second trip i did not bother with all the injections , but i was a bit more carefull....

Yes if the tick gets distressed it can pump the blood back into you along with any virus , you need to be quick and efficient at removing them....

My cats get them quite often , so i have become expert at removing them just with my fingers...Oh , and if you do touch one of these ticks....wash your hands , you can get something nasty just by touching them...

Travel / What is the weather like in Poland where you are now? [210]

It was hot and sunny all day up here in Zachodniopomorskie , and quite nice in the evening when i rode over to my friends farm near Borno Sullinowo...

but about 9pm the sky started to look a bit dark , and i saw a flash of lightning away in the distance , so decided to head home...

On route i ran into a really heavy downpour , and got a bit wet...must put some insulation on the ignition system , got a nice blue flash from my knee to my naughty bits as my wet jeans touched the ignition leads...great fun...!
