thanks miranda:) hope this means I'm forgiven :)

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

To save Mr szarlotka from any more hate mail and death threats, I have to step forward to save his good reputation and confess it was me who wrote the last omnibus.

I apologise to all to all who felt they were offended, and promise not to write in any more editions. It was supposed to be a light hearted look at the week in pf but the writer forget that most women don't have a sense of humour:))

Mr szarlotka has already demoted me back to office boy and my only work now, is making him cups of tea and cleaning all his Liverpool memorabilia. I hear that also he is looking for a new proof reader if anyone is interested :)

Have a good day everyone and take care.

Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]


To be fair to it, there is also a pdf in polish with it, and one can be obtained in english too.So between the two, every word or sentence, can be translated.

As you and miranda both share the same writing skills, and the same sense of humour, why don't you both be duel writers to the Omnibus edition? She could be your North American correspondent, keeping an eye on matters across the pond, and you can keep an eye on us crazy folk in Europe?....just a thought:))

Food / OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT? [43]


Beers or lagers on main land Europe are much better than Uk beers too....probably stronger, and don't have the laws that we have in this country...that tells us, what ingredients the brewers , can or cannot, put into their brewing process

Food / OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT? [43]


yes, the only disadvantages are ...it takes about 5 minutes to pour a pint.. and one is never enough. Worth the wait tho:)

Food / OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT? [43]

There is a very big difference in a pint of Guinness sold in Ireland, than one sold in another country there is just no comparison..any other stout or porter is just a poor imitation :)

Language / Pimsleur v Rosetta stone [27]

there is another thread about this somewhere...worth a look.

I have had a sample of both, and prefer Rosetta. Pimsleur is good for mp3 player, but the lack of a written dialogue makes it hard to look up words. Rosetta as you know is visual too and there is written material with it...I have heard it said that both can be downloaded from the web, but I would not encourage you to do that:)

Life / Is it me or do any guys in Poland not have shaved heads? [113]

Is that because, you think ....never again:)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

my second guess.....the two ladies closest to the blonde lady....are not polish but the other three are:)

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

I would guess....the blonde one, closest to camera

Language / in Polish slang, what is the difference between Siema and Siemka? [64]


yes it does ...many thanks for detailed explanation :)

Language / in Polish slang, what is the difference between Siema and Siemka? [64]

excuse my ignorance...but I always thought dimunitive meant smaller/small.. so why is siemanko a dimunitive of siemano when it has an extra letter , making it bigger:):)

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]


The Guinness in Ireland is really smooth like milk..takes 5 Min's to pour. Could not build roads with it ..but you could probably shave with it :)

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]


if you ever go to Ireland, have a couple of Guinness , then tell me if notice any difference between the Guinness there, and the Guinness sold to the rest of the world. No contest..:)

Off-Topic / An English Version of Gadu-Gadu? [105]


Someone on here about a month ago, said they had a virus or spyware trouble with it.

UK, Ireland / Polish opinion of England as a country and the English nation [64]


I don't like it, either but, in this day and age, it has to be done for every-one's safety.

Thanks Janusz...these videos are much appreciated.

Language / English-Polish tests [23]

Thanks for taking the time and pointing out these mistakes.

Language / English-Polish tests [23]

Thanks guys. Glad that you are finding it useful.

I must admit, I'm finding it a bit addictive, but it is a good way to find out how sentences are constructed. I have just been learning polish for three months now and, my average correct words in the first 20 tests is only 5. I did manage to complete one and, have a few 8's and 10's. It's the different endings for words, that's seems to catch me out.

Still it is a good learning tool and, hopefully in another 3 months my average will be much better. I wonder how many words, you guys are getting correct?
