Life / Giving tips in Poland [235]

Tipping is important though, even in Poland. It's always good to keep restaurant staff on your side, just in case of any mishaps.

Thats not the way it worked in England though but changes are coming.
These new measures will apply to England, Scotland and Wales once parliamentary approval has been secured.
Commenting on Monday, Kevin Hollinrake, business and trade minister said: "It is not right for employers to withhold tips from their hard-working employees.
That would NEVER happen in the U.S.A. or someone would get shot dead.

Pawian is the expert on Polish recipes here so don't embarrass yourself with pretending you are, Brit Boy.

He often modifies them in his own way.

How Polish can you get !

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2815]

because some people from across the globe don't like the fact we don't want to follow their laws?

No, because some people from across the globe are tired of spilling American blood on soil of other countries that can't defend themselves.

There is no significant movement to get it changed

So there is a movement but it is not "significant" yet ?

There was about 1.000 abortion a year in Poland before the change in law.

Let me reword that for you, "There were about a 1000 LEGAL abortions in Poland before the change in law.".
How many illegal and how many went to other countries to get them ?
Point is that you cold blood murder far more people in Poland by dismembering them alive then guns do shooting them.
I am starting to see why there is so much domestic abuse in Poland too.
While I don't condone it with women like you Lenka, I certainly understand it.

@Joker
Bring your e bike for the bike paths up there.
Then go into Mackinaw City (about 3 miles or so) for a rack of ribs ($25+ tip) at the Key Hole bar and you might see me OR go across the street to Scalawags Whitefish and Chips and I will be sitting outside having a three piece whitefish basket with coleslaw and fries and a root beer. $20 and no tip)

And if they are packed walk down to the corner and try the Dixie Saloon, they have great food too.
Darrow's family restaurant in Mackinaw has the best deep fried white fish in the State IMO ($25+tip)
Mackinaw City hotels and Mackinaw Island employ over 1000 Jamaican workers for the summer and they have a restaurant of their own in the Crossings (behind Scalawags) that serve exclusively authentic Jamaican food..(Jerk chicken, bammy, curry goat, Ackee and saltfish with excellent Rasta reggae playing that you have never heard before, straight from the mountains back home.(Mostly Jamaicans go there) (Novi wouldn't like the atmosphere there I am afraid.)

Lume's shop is just down the road where you can buy marijuana legally if you are 420 friendly for as low as $25 an ounce up to the face shaker like you like for $10 a gram they tell me.

Do not stay at the hotels and motels in Mackinaw or you will pay $300 to $400 a night, ask Novi.
Stay at the motel across from the Pellston airport for half that which is about 10 miles south of Mackinaw.
Or bring your tent and camp in Wilderness State Park right on Lake Michigan with a shower and electric. (What a spot for an e bike)

Click on the little hard to see arrows on the pictures to see the bike path and the park.

www2.dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails/details.aspx?id=509&type=SPRK

Stop at Krueger's Fish Market in Mackinaw and get some fresh smoked fish (Lake Trout, Menominee or Whitefish out of Lake Michigan) and a box of crackers and some cheese for your bike trip. (The best but pricey)

I should be a tour guide.

I would say that their music was not that good, it was just that they kept coming up with new stuff all the time for a long time.

Of course in my humble opinion.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2815]

And now we are at trans again?

Lenka let me ask you, "Do you know what an analogy is ?"
Here so I don't have to keep explaining it to you.
Noun:
a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.

Did ya get it that time ?

I wonder - do the posters here think the easier gun laws should be introduced against the wish of most Polish people?

A few of us here have already agreed that since vodka is Poland's national drink that relaxing the gun laws for them would be a bad idea however for the rest of the responsible and law abiding citizen should have at least a choice to own a gun but you think if you don't want a gun then the next guy shouldn't have one either.

That is a typical Liberals mentality.

Analogy #2
You are pro abortion and believe in murdering babies is o.k. verses me who is anti abortion and murdering and taking lives from innocent children is not o.k.

Did ya get it that time ?
Guns in Poland killed 35 people last year and half of them deserved to die and the other half were ACCIDENTS yet 120,000 defenseless babies were killed INTENTIONALLY in Poland last year. THAT IS AN ANALOGY !

Now address that or STFU !
If you don't like me telling you what to do then don't tell me what I should or should not do.
Did ya get it that time ?
Talk about a Stubborn Polak.

Now, that the weather is warming up, Im sure shell be going out more often.

When I went to college they suggested we take astronomy classes in the wintertime because the air and atmosphere is much clearer.

I really want to go to Alaska

I wouldn't suggest going there in the summer as the mosquito's are horrendously thick and big even though the sockeye salmon run starts in the middle of July.

Nothing beats a FRESH sockeye on the grill.

@Jokers Daughter
Another recommendation I would suggest for your daughter this summer is to visit The Headlands International Dark Park in Mackinaw City Michigan.
They have an observatory there and is recognized internationally.
They have a huge telescope there that you can look thru, or you can bring your own.
It is a very beautiful spot and very surreal and safe place to visit with ZERO crime.
Sometimes the shooting stars there just don't stop for hours on end.
No artificial white lights are allowed.

Imagine her going to take a dump.

Imagine her bald pretending to be a tranny wanting to use the men's locker room.
Imagine riding in a cab with her and having her break wind.
Imagine when Milo was going to have sex with her that he would have to sprinkle flour first on her crotch to find the wet spot.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2815]

@ Fenkis
Did you hear about the pregnant lady that got killed in a car ACCIDENT
Should we outlaw cars too?

You haven't even addressed the subject of the unborn child that died as the result of a shooting.

Thats because you refuse to address Accidental deaths compared to Intentional deaths.( ie: ABORTIONS)

The deflection tactics you're using.

No deflection Pam, I am spot on, you are unable to counter so now you are desperate and come up with a b.s to deflect.

Better you just stfu when you don't have one of your Bimbpo's to back you up.

Unborn children are expendable?

You're asking me ? 🐍
I should be asking you that since you are pro abortion and think it is a womans right to commit murder. 🐷

Guess guns really do trump the lives of the unborn as far as you're concerned.

How on God's green earth did you ever come up with that one, Karen ? 🦨

She did not like the form of protest by farmers who blocked the border with Ukraine and spilled grain on the railway tracks.

Quote:
Polish farmers continue to block border crossings with Ukraine.
Over 1700 trucks are queued at only two points, according to Andrii Demchenko, a spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The more important thing is that he even tried to find it.

I'm not saying that insider trading doesn't take place with our governments top officials, so I will let you decide.
Nancy Pelosi recently realized a $1.8 million profit from a stock investment in NVIDIA over the short period of 92 days.

msn.com/en-us/money/markets/nancy-pelosi-scores-whopping-payday-on-controversial-stock-trade/ar-AA1nmTvO?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=ENTPSP&cvid=14ec03f24f2a4945811a2d2bac2f7f18&ei=29

But if Trump did it he would be charged and have that money taken away from him.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2815]

Abortion and the right to own guns are two completely different topics.

I agree Karen, I was simply pointing them out for analogies of which one was an accidental murder and which one was Intentional murder.
I don't want to have to tell you that again.

That shooting of the pregnant woman and her unborn child wasn't an isolated case either, there have been others.

Really, how many because we already know that a 120,000 children in Poland were murdered last year Intentionally so please post your sources of how many pregnant women in Poland were shot Accidentally.

Man you are on the rag this morning.

Quit playing stupid and accept the fact that I answered your question politely.
I have heard my Polish relatives use that Polish idiom when I was a kid many many times.
You being a Brit most likely never heard of that and that is why you ask in the first place.
So ? now go argue that too, Karen. πŸ‘Ί
Maybe if you started going to church on Sunday mornings you could learn how to resolve some of your anger and hate issues.

What is meant by 'To not be in the sauce' ?

"sauce" is a slang name for alcoholic beverages 🍸🍺

This idiom has nothing to do with alcohol.

Did ya get it that time ?

noun

informal
(the sauce)

I'm afraid I must graciously decline -

Ms. Atch, hate to break the news to you but you have already given to much information not to be identified.
It took me about two minutes to locate your book.
You must be more careful.
Being that I respect you I will not post the name of the book.
Is that your real first name or a pen name ?
