Language / Polish Language Exchange Thread [144]

But my first language is Polish that is why I'm able to answer some questions.

My mistake, I thought you said in another thread, that you have two years experience learning Polish.

Absolutely. Bone ignorant, whoever they are.

We get many "silver surfers" like you on here, but they are not ignorant, arrogant, aggressive and know how to use forums correctly. Please consider joining a local computer club, and doing a crash course on "how to use internet forums" It might stop you looking so silly in the long run.

And that does no good whatsoever with no information about which posts got that designation and why. Would it be so hard to PM with a clarification? Apparently yes.

Do you really think someone has the time to go through the trash, to find out why you had a warning 3 months ago? It is up to you to check for yourself at the time of the warning, it's self explanatory that you got a warning for posting off-topic comments on the main forums. Are you still losing sleep after all this time?

Might be a good idea to let any potential builder know which city, town or country you reside. Some builders might not bother "pricing" if long distance travel is involved.

why can't I add posts to threads - am I banned or what

Hopefully you have managed to fix this issue. As someone has already said in a previous post it could be a browser fault, try a different one and also try a "hard refresh" to see if it makes any difference.

Good Morning Ironside. Did you sleep well?

There are no plans to suspend you at the moment, and you can post whatever you like, as long as it is non-abusive and is in the correct thread. Oh and it would help if it is Polish related.

However I have no indention whatsoever to follow any rules but mine.

Fair play, but don't come running to us if your screen goes blank ;)

You seem to have a fixation about gay threads and gay men lately johnny?

The only logical answer to your bias Moderating is that you are gay yourself.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gay. Have a nice word with jon and ask if one of his single friends wants a pen friend.

you wanted that thread closed just like all the rest of the LBGT threads that you have closed.

The reason these sort of threads get closed, is because they always end up going off-topic with abuse, and derogatory language towards other members. It happens every time without fail. The forum may be based in the USA but there are rules laid out for members, read rule #3 in full.

This is an American forum and the Mods should respect the American laws and not the E.U. laws.

You claim to have freedom of speech, but do you? Try going up to one of those black guys who's burning down your cities every night, and say stop doing this you moron! Pick one of the biggest guys you can see. Let us know how you get on.

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

I'm getting conflicting messaging saying Poland will allow flights from UK after Jan 6

With the new variant virus getting out of control in the UK, and new cases at a record high, what makes you think Poland (or any other country) will welcome travellers from London, in just over a week's time?

Also it appears people from UK aren't allowed to travel at all unless there is a valid reason.

Not sure if missing your girlfriend is a valid reason. Let us know how it works out for you.

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

Yes the way the UK govt has handled this crisis is *terrible*.

I agree with you 100%. The UK is only 36 hours away from leaving the EU, there might be new updated information for travellers on the 1st of Jan. Maybe you will be able to pay for a covid test to prove you are negative on the day of travel. Just keep checking the government website. At the moment, they say "anyone living in tier 4 should not travel abroad"

You might argue that freedom of speech has been infringed

Freedom of speech is mostly tolerated on these forums, but when it turns to hate speech that's when it must stop. Dirk/Adrian has used PF for his geo Nazi ideology platform for too long, He has outstayed his welcome many times. I can't believe how many people stick up for him and praise him for being such a great guy. It's looks like the old saying "birds of a feather, stick together" has never been so correct.

Good kebab has lots of veggies and they are integral part

Google how many calories are in a kebab, and then how many calories are in fish and chips. You might be surprised. ;-)

Language / Mixed English Grammar Thread [233]

When can we say nobody knows nothing?

"Nobody knows nothing" is colloquial language in the UK, so I guess the double negation wouldn't matter. "Nobody knows anything" is formal and correct.

Oh come on Vincent!
You don't get to the Euro finals and only lose on penalties if you are a rubbish team!

You didn't see the big picture. England had an easy route to the final and played 6 out of 7 games at home with fans, almost like being the host country. In the group stages they had 1-0 wins over weak teams, and against the Scots (arguably the weakest side in the group) they couldn't score at all.

Next up they played Germany, who many people will tell you had the worst side for many decades. Hell, they almost never made it out of the group stage, it was a late goal and results in their favour elsewhere, that got them through.

England beat Ukraine fair and square, but again not a European Power house team. The Denmark game was embarrassing, and many people thought the Danes were robbed. An og and a controversial penalty got England through to the final. In the final, England ran out of steam, and Italy took them to penalties, where 3 overrated players couldn't score from 12 yards. A poor show indeed, but there have been many poor shows and disappointments in the past, so nothing new to see here.

I'll ask you again, what have they won in the last 50 years.

But look at their world ranking, that should tell you something.

I don't take much notice of world rankings, they are based on points for wins and losses, and are there for FIFA to seed teams in competitions. It doesn't make teams play better.

This is the best England squad for a long time

I've heard this said before every single Euros and WC's in living memory :-)

am going to cash out and take my modest profit of $3k.

Soon you may have to change your username to johnny cash. I've never dabbled in stock shares, and I was offered some shares in a storefront glass company in Portland a couple of years ago, but unfortunately I missed the boat.

Now I can't access "Dyrdymałki o Niczem 2" on my phone even when I'm logged in to the forum in incognito mode

My guess is, you have reached your maximum number of quotes for 2022, and Admin has sent an electronic pulse to your phone to zap you.

Seriously, though, do you close down all the pages in your browser very often?. I have found on my phone, that when I close my browser, pages can remain in memory or cache, and in turn slows down my internet, and makes some sites hard to navigate.

What does it have to do with slow internet?

Two things that you should try, first try a different browser to see if you get the same problem, and second, clear the cache on your phone to see if it makes a difference. The latter, you should do every couple of weeks anyway to make it run smoother.
