OK, picture of the most recent attempt at gołąbki. :) Mushroom sauce this time and boiled potatoes. :)

Possibly Admin was working on something at the time. It's alive and kicking though. :)

Good post Miranda, but one thing:


It's alive and well and has never been inactive. :)

I wonder if you can still get that perfume.


I kind of thought you were after something like that but I can't think of anyone at the moment. Helena sprang into mind when I read "famous" and of course "iconic" made me think of Marie Curie but I see Grzegorz already posted a link about her. :)

Helena Rubinstein, cosmetics, born in Krakow and eventually became Elizabeth Arden's biggest rival. She made millions and her cosmetics are still a world best seller.

Sorry I don't know too much more about her off the top of my head. If you google her there will be plenty about her. :)

Thanks Vincent. :) Actually I am surprised by how well I did in that round, if you recall in the Euro 2008 threads my predictions were awful! ;) Maybe I will be there in the next round. :)

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

Vincent, you did a great job of being guest writer in the omnibus edition. :) Perhaps you and szarlotka could share the task in future? :)

Me being joint 2nd in the football thread is a temporary glitch and be assured that after the next round of matches order will be restored and I'll be languishing in about 10th place if not lower. ;) Unless I do my homework properly and knock jbman flying from the top! :)

The next guest contributor to the PF Omnibus? Who knows? ;)

So he's a Polish lawyer? Or you're threatening us? :)

Lukasz, what now? This the OT section, so it's expected that discussion will not be about POLAND.

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

Well, he said it was a "guest" but if that person remains anonymous then the post goes under szarlotka's name. He then ends up putting up with whatever is said about that post.

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

If it appeared under his name...he wrote it. He didn't attribute it to anyone else.

It was szarlotka who wrote about 1500 posts being blown away.

McPardon? All my thoughts on football and my predictions are from me own mind and views. :) You're just sore because you got beat by a girl... ;) hehehe ;)

Edit: It's true, sausage and I are joint 2nd. :)

Good because there were none. Who knows why they stayed together? Some of them didn't as the first picture shows.

They were quite difficult and it took me a while but I wanted to cook them because I liked the idea of them. I'm glad they look good, thanks. :) I didn't look at any pictures of them until after I cooked (and eaten some of) them. It was a good way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon. :)

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]


So do I which is why I have started trying to cook some Polish dishes now. I have a few ideas of what my next experiment might be! :)


I do apologise. :) I waited until after I'd eaten tonight before I posted this thread :)

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Seems like a good idea. Someone else told me to fry them a little or grill them. I think oven is better though. :)

I'll post more pictures when I make more. So I hope to see a few other pictures on here ;)

Thanks pgt.

Question: what is the best way to re-heat them?

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Thanks. They turned out better than what I expected. :)


It's a bit of a "PD style" sauce but it's similar to



this one here. I didn't use bacon, cheese or the mushrooms though. :)

You should read the article.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]


It doesn't seem clear but the whole things stems from immigrants outside of the EU. I was listening to something about this on the radio this morning.

noimmigration - the reason they want a cap in Scotland is because of the rapid growth in population and they've made a forward prediction. It's more about the future rather than the here and now. Right now we do need the immigrant population.

Well, there is already an entire thread dedicated to Poland's geographical position within Europe so we don't need to turn this thread into one. ;)

Yes, independent jewellers, like most independent retailers carry their stock in their cars and vans in order to transport from wherever they have purchased their stock from. Not everything is delivered to them. Whether or not their insurance covers this I do not know, I would be surprised if it did but there might some loop hole.

noimmigration, as the article clearly states there is no ID to these attackers other than they are "Eastern European" so if you feel strongly enough that they are Polish then perhaps you'd like to go undercover on the streets of Glasgow and prove this point to us once and for all. If not, then accept that the real identity of these thieves is not known.

You might want to do a bit more research into PolishForums then and realise that for one, if you are posting about Polish in the USA, you wouldn't post it in Polonia - UK & Ireland...

And if you consider this statement


as meaning the whole of America then you need to get your world map out and just check the size of the USA.

Hmm, we could offer England noimmigration in exchange for a few thousand immigrants... ;)

It's true though, the Scottish economy needs immigrants to stop going home!
