Not sure who you are trying to shock but in the rest of the English speaking world it lost it's offensiveness some time ago - in Australia and Scotland it's a very common all purpose pronoun and you would use it even for mild banter

I know you are unfamiliar with bars but might be like this

"here's your rum and coke"

"I wanted whisky and coke you daft ****"

Not really the done thing to use in front of women though.

Yes, but still only half as long as their previous illegal invasion of Afghanistan. Putler thinks it can go on indefinitely but without mercenaries from the 3rd world, Iranian drones and Venezuelan oil it will be much more difficult.

Ukraine still mopping up farm boys in Kurpiansk this morning - they are hiding, illegally, in a hospital but that will be their last mistake on this planet

I presume they also considered the serious possibility of the rusty crap exploding on launch and making a new Czernobyl (which would actually improve many areas of rural North Nigeria)

Nobody cares about your boring missiles dude. They are good for only one thing - being strapped to some crappy truck and paraded in Red Square every May in front of the war criminals and the Presidents of Burkina Faso and Hungary

Maybe Ant went to a superior standard of university that was captured by communism ?

You can imagine the outrage from the North Nigerians if the Ukrainians started attacking their power grid.

Or maybe they would save that furious reaction for something really important like Putler's palace supposed being targeted

Found a solution to the Audiobook problem - Empik way cheaper for Polish language than Apple / Audible and Spiracle, UK company, will come in about 60 percent of what I pay Apple for English language titles (though the choice is far smaller, there is still plenty to listen to ).

Overall I will save probably 1000 zloty a year. like Finchy I am a "book a week" person

Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos are having a FAFO moment LOL - I will be sure to publicize that to all my audiobook loving friends

They are the signs of desperation.

I don't know how many more of these crappy Oreshnik's are flightworthy, maybe 5. And they are no more " nuclear capable" than Novi's battered old second hand Lexus. I know this was supposed to scare and impress Poland but we simply don't give a fig about it - right now I am wondering whether to have tea or coffee with my eggs, not panicking about some fake ass missile.

What else happened this week ? Another ally folded, with North Nigeria powerless to help. Iran teetering and paid stooges like Hungary and Serbia will follow soon.

The video of the poor bastard african suicide bomber has been seen round the world, yet another NN war crime, and the flow of mercenaries is already drying up. Even the most desperate and least educated of the planet don't want to wipe their butts on North Naira these days.

And how is it going in Pokrovsk BTW ? I am waiting to see videos of North Nigerians enjoying parties in the streets of the captured metropolis. Maybe in 2027?

You are. With your crappy pistols

Who is going to attack it ?

Is that a reason to kill her ? An unarmed woman ?


Which one ? Fleeing the scene or using it as a deadly weapon ? Anyway, why didn't they just shoot her tyres ?

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [481]


A few light insults and blocking the road

That's a reason to kill her ? Only in America.

Life / Life in Poland - ECONOMY [62]


20 years ago many were foreign owned - German and Dutch especially

But these days Polish ownership of manufacturing is quite high and there is a good entrepreneurial culture here - far more so than in Czech and Hungary.

I will look it up but my guess is circa 50 percent is in Polish hands

Romania will be a challenge to Polish manufacturing but the wage difference is shrinking quickly and it won't make sense to move existing production there.

Other than that, nobody is going to move outside the EU especially as the close options are politically going in the wrong direction - Turkey, Belarus, Serbia, Egypt etc.

Life / Popular and Practical Cars in Poland [81]


In most of Europe definitely - parking is a huge problem and fuel too expensive

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [481]


Why not just shoot the tyres ?


The backyard where we live longer, healthier, happier lives with more time off, more job security, less crime and better food.

I don't know but maybe someone could have asked her rather than murdering her - and not even letting a doctor near

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [481]


Iron I am surprised at you - being a single mom, dating, being an "activists" (probably writing a few letters. How is this "looking for trouble"

And whatever she was doing does not warrant being shot.

Why didn't he shoot the tyres ? Easier and safer. The guy was out of control.

Yeah I like that. Max Burger (swedish) is also good but pricy

Why didn't he just shoot the tyre ?

Apart from the fact that he is a bloodthirsty murderer

So I am sticking it to the US imperialists

McDonalds started messaging me with offers - they obviously noticed I'm not going any more

Fight the power !

Only one fast food this week so far - "Chinese" from a dodgy Viet place on outskirts of town. Edible but wouldn't win any prizes and certainly worse tasting than Macs

Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [481]


I think even donut loving Chief Wiggum could have stepped out the way of that

And it wasn't a cop - more like some unlicensed militia.

Fortunately in decadent old Europe such things never happen. Our police are not ideal but they are not lawless fascists

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

Yeah - I don't think there are many options these days for the deposed - Honecker was in Chile, Idi Amin in Saudi and Kaiser Wilhelm in Netherlands. Used to be quite a collection of African tyrants in the posh suburbs of Paris.

I'm wondering what Trump is going to do after retirement.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]

I dont know - maybe some kind of military tech. I heard the North Nigerians are worried that the US will be able to reverse engineer their supposedly most sophisticated tech in Syria and Vz.

Whatever tech they have is probably several decades behind so it's weird to make such a fuss.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [338]


Huge bag of stolen cash probably

Assad landed in North Lagos with a plane load of dollars and Euros, which Putler promptly swiped from him

Having run out of horses the North Nigerians had another bright idea - a column of quad bikes

How do you think that ended up ?

They had a good chance to take Pokrovsk now with the world tied up in Venezuela. Instead they have gone backwards.

Oh - that sounds kinda familiar

Like the 3 days it would take to capture Kiev ? LOL

Just remember to bring some ammo, a GPS and some fuel this time !

But I'm not changing from Apple - too much of a pain in the ass. I will however go as long as possible without replacement, cut down Apple Store purchases etc
