Don't forget four-time convicted felons. Well, one four-time convicted felon anyway.

A new low, even for poor dumb jimmy: now he's claiming that three is the same as "a single"! LOL! What a f*cking retard! No wonder he can't tell you what a quarter of 16 is. Hoot!

And poor dumb jimmy is still to dumb to understand that a PPK is not the same as an IKZE! LOL! Next he'll be answering questions about a PPO by talking about an IZE.
Poor dumb jimmy, so dumb that he believes every word AI tells him! Of course one can have more than a single IKE. I have three (one with Alior, opened to make use of their commission-free purchases of WSE-listed ETFs; one with BOSSA, opened to take advantage of their commission-free FX transactions in order to purchase non-WSE-listed ETFs; and one with XTB, opened to make use of their 0% commission on shares). The point is that one cannot invest more than the annual limit each year.

You can open a single IKE with a bank or investment fund

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [791]
You're completely right. The quality of life in Madrid is far lower than in cities such as Valencia or Monte Carlo, but one needs to have been to Europe to know that, so the poor dumb one doesn't know it.
And one needs to know Polish to understand that Życie and Madrycie rhyme, so that also counts out the poor dumb one.
I don't think this is about the quality of life in Madrid. It's just that Madrid rhymes well.

Have you been asking poor dumb jimmy for advice about numbers? cms neuf told you about the divorce rate in Vermont, i.e. the number of divorces per thousand of the population there.
Vermont also has one of the smallest populations and oldest populations.

To be fair, some of it is his own work, given that there's no AI out there so stupid as to write "residence" when it means "residents".
A Polish friend once explained "Jutro, jutro" as meaning "It's like manana manana but without the sense of urgency."
People never believe me when I say I can spot unedited AI writing....

Makes sense. We say "manana manana".

Come on, it can't be any surprise to you that Republicans are hypocritical! They've long proved that they believe it's "Rules for thee, not for me". Just look at the way their supporters ceaselessly whine about crime while ignoring their own multiple felony convictions.
A surprise then that states that vote for twice divorced Golden Cow have a far higher divorce rate than those that voted Democrat

How amusing: the Michigan Mystic has learned how to put questions into Chat GPT! Just look at that punctuation, LOL! What a pity that he's too ignorant of Poland to understand that a PPK is not the same as an IKZE. Although perhaps from his perspective they are both the same: they're things he'll never have, because both require investments of actual money rather than the fantasy dollars poor dumb jimmy uses to do things such as buying a $1.6 million position in Tesla. But because poor dumb jimmy is too dumb to know that total account value is assets less liabilities, and too dumb to know how much a quarter of 16 is, he tried to claim he'd made a profit of $456,000 when shares worth $1.6 million went up by 21.91%! Hoot !

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [437]
I was in Fukier in the late '90s (3 January '98) and the only other table in there were to badly dressed gentlemen who spoke Russian to each other and English to the two ladies of negotiable affection who were with them (the ladies were speaking to each other in hilariously bad French) and to the waiter. At the end of the meal they asked the sommelier which is the most expensive bottle cognac he can offer. He replied that they had a couple of bottles of Louis XIII in the cellar and that's the best they have. "It is the most expensive?" "Yes, it is also the most expensive. It's $12,000." "We'll take it." So, out comes this glorious looking bottle, it's poured for one of them, he sniffs it, samples it, nods and says "Please pour for everybody. And bring us four bottles of Coke."
Utter philistinism...

No connection that I'm aware of.
Definitely two different people, and the living one is a good six decades younger than the other one.
I always thought he had something to do with the owners of the forum, was that the case?

Why spend 250zl and then mix with tonic when you can spend half that and get something that tastes almost identical? I'm sure that I can tell Harris gin from Gordon's ten times out of ten but I'd be struggling if they were mixed 50:250 with tonic. It'd be easier with something more distinctive, like Monkey 47, but even then the tonic would kill the flavours.
What is there to understand?

Speak for yourself! I put a drop of water into some whiskies, to open up the aromas, put literally one or two millilitres in a 50ml pour. As for gin, anything under naval strength I always drink neat, and naval strength I mix 3:1 with sparkling water. I simply don't understand people who apend 250zl on a bottle of gin and then drown it in tonic.
Makes no difference really since you always dilute it rather than drink it neat

Not a gin fan either, that's a terrible gin. Bottled by a wine company using commercial spirit. Anyone selling a gin that's 37.5% is far more interested in money than gin.
Talking of gin, the Warsaw whiskey and gin festival is 10 and 11 October. Highly recommended.
he liked the gin best, 9/10. He probably wasn't a great wine connoisseur.

I don't think those are even vaguely exotic these days. You'll find both in every Biedronka in Poland. As for why I like them, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Shiraz account for abput 90% of the wine I drink in Poland.
Why such exotic wines?
