News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [707]


Yes, but the median income in North Nigeria is $3,600 per year, because so much of the money there is stolen by the people at the top.


You do know you're talking to somebody who sold out his own family in order to move to the USA, don't you? When he failed to return to Poland when he said he would, they paid a heavy price and did so for years. That's one of the reasons they all utterly shun him.

Isn't that related to Wassailing?

Yes, but just one person taking a dump in a swimming pool every day stops anybody else wanting to swim there.

Would you want to visit a Christmas market if you knew there was a 100% chance there'd be a crazy old man spewing hate at everybody who came near him?

I'm pointing out that you claimed a particular something is happening when the reality is that it is not happening. What's happening is you being exposed as a liar, yet again.

I really hope she does at least stop by, it wouldn't be Christmas without her!

That said, it's not exactly Christmassy weather here right now. No snow. Temperature a few degrees above zero. Grey skies. Not seen the sun for what feels like weeks. More like a beach holiday in the UK than a Polish Christmas.


I fear you might be right. There's only so much hate-filled ranting from "Rich" about LGBT and immigrants that one person can take.

Another day and still the Joke can't name even a single one of the towns canceling Christmas markets because they can't afford security to ward off Islamist attacks. He's nothing more than a Joke now, just another busted flush.

Nothing connected with FIFA is good. And who is to blame for what FIFA get away with? The people who watch FIFA matches. If everybody just stopped paying attention to things connected with FIFA, it will lose both all advertisers and regimes who want to sportwash their reputations.

As stated in the article, he's charged with undertaking preparatory activities to carry out a terrorist attack that could have resulted in the death or serious injury of many people.


You'd prefer the police waited until he exploded a bomb and then arrested him?

Yikes! A Catholic university student in Lublin, Mateusz W., has been arrested and charged with plotting to bomb Lublin Christmas market. Details are still coming in.

What kind of moron would even think about going to Paris for New Year's Eve? Oh, sorry, the same kind of moron who thinks that claiming to have a tesla is some kind of flex. And the same kind of moron who can't name even a single Christmas markets that's been cancelled because they can't afford security to ward off Islamist attacks.

Four days after being asked to name two of the towns he claims are canceling Christmas markets because they can't afford security to ward off Islamist attacks, he hasn't named even one town that's done that. Seems that the joke has been caught lying again.

History / Martial Law in Poland (1981–1983) [26]


A lesson learned from the events at Prague airport in 1968.


From what I've read some elements of the Czechoslovak armed forces were absolutely itching for the opportunity to invade Poland after Polish forces had invaded parts of Czechoslovakia four times in the previous 64 years.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [747]


I don't know who you use in Poland but you can choose the option listed on whichever European stock market you prefer. Have a look here: atlasetf.pl/etf-details/LU0252633754/availability

I got the WSE-listed one because Alior are doing 0% commission trades for WSE-listed ETFs this year and because I don't want to have to buy euro from my IKE brokerage PLN.

I've also stuck some IKE dosh into Beta ETF WIG20TR. It's a 0.65% TER but I don't see any cheaper WIG-tracking ETFs at the moment.

If anybody is interested in WSE-listed ETFs, have a look at Amundi Core S&P 500 EUR Dist, listed as ETFSP500. It has a TER of 0.05%. Also worth having a look at is Amundi DAX II UCITS Acc ETF, listed as ETFDAX. TER of 0.15%. Both available via Alior IKE brokerage (and other places).

Shush! Trump reckons he got a killer deal, and they've already sent him a photoshopped picture of the 'solid gold' sign outside the ferry terminal.

Have you seen that deal Trump signed last week for unlimited military access to the deep-water ports of North Macedonia? And they've agreed to name their main ferry terminal after him.

News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [601]


Exactly. Kirk said publicly and often that criminals should be executed in public. Obviously I wouldn't go that far, but I do think that those who rant and rave about criminals while themselves having a lengthy criminal record that features multiple felony convictions at four separate trials in three different decades deserve to have their hypocrisy pointed out at every possible occasion.


Because he's a hypocrite? Because even he knows that what he's pushing is utter bollocks?


Yep. Although with ever decreasing effect as his past finally catches up with him.

Of course Renata is, as usual, simply lying. Crown Royal are not shutting down whisky production in Canada.


They're actually closing one of the bottling plants that bottles Crown Royal, because they've finally realised there's no point shipping lots of heavy and fragile glass from Canada to the USA when they can just ship bulk containers and then bottle in the USA. And they just happen to have quite a bit of surplus bottling capacity in the USA right now, because global demand for US whisky is down as consumers around the world react to the USA slapping tariffs on so many things.

That would most probably be cheaper and open up a far wider choice of teachers than will be available in Dallas.

I did report one of Rich's posts, and that one was fairly promptly binned. But the rest of the off-topic posts were left up and more were made and have stayed up.


Make sure you download the PKP (Polish state-owned railway company) app. It's really good for getting around. And it's also available in English (just in case your lessons don't go as well as you hoped).
