The rules apply to everyone. It is our American members that are posting most of the off topic posts on the main threads, hence they receive the most warnings. Simple maths!

Edited.. Please try to keep this thread for Polish music, thanks.

Travel / What's next from Chopin's Warsaw? [13]

What exactly do you mean by your title, "What's next from Chopin's Warsaw?"

Feedback / "Ignore" option for certain posters [69]


A couple of points. First, I haven't suspended you for not using your ignore function, and there would plenty of other reasons to do so than that. I'm guessing you could be in the early stages of Dementia, or had a little too much moonshine. There has been no warnings on your profile, to suggest 'you had a time-out', nor has there been a red sad emoji next to your username in this last couple of days.

Next, you have been listening to the self-proclaimed 'King of the internet' Cargo pants, who nearly always get things wrong. I wouldn't mind betting that I'm 25 kilos lighter than both of you, judging by your photos posted on these forums. I also don't have diabetes, which is another false piece of information posted by the Indian "troll king" of the internet. Have a nice day, slim Jim. :-)

If you are going back to 4 years ago, then yes you were. However, that suspension was given by the owner of this site and not by me.

Off-Topic / Things you can't get used to in your new country [95]


It is dangerous in the kitchen if you touch a socket with wet hands. The main ring circuit is protected by a RCB, which means you could get a shock, but it probably wouldn't kill you. The only socket allowed in a UK bathroom is a shaver socket with a two prong connection (there are no switches to turn it on or off), and is at half the voltage compared to the kitchen, it is also possible to buy an adaptor to charge a toothbrush, which is safe. You will also notice that the light switches in a bathroom are a pull cord type as well, this is to stop people with wet bodies touching anything electrical.

Back in the day, there was no health and safety, so anyone could do their own wiring, and this lead to many strange (and dangerous) circuits. New regulations were brought in about 15 years ago to stop this, and now if you do some wiring, you need to get a qualified electrician to inspect it, and issue a certificate to proved it was checked.

I've seen "hot whiskeys" served in many pubs in NI, as a remedy for the common cold.


Black Bush is also stronger than the more common Bushmills white label.

According to the British bookies, it's Israel who has a 50% chance of winning, with Croatia at 32%.

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]


Most YouTube videos have subtitles, and can be useful sometimes.

Never heard or read anything about this in all my years following football. Now, Rangers and Celtic would be a different matter of course.

Getting back to topic, what accent is this strange (but cute) English language?

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]


I used to visit some friends in Stoke quite often, as well as my aunt in Stockport, and somewhere in between, I've heard that accent.


I would say that also. BTW she has a wicked sense of humour and I can't believe I've never heard of her before.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


Labour won by default, Tory voters voted for Farage and many stayed at home.


80% of the country didn't vote for Starmer, that's 4 out of 5 of the population didn't want Starmer. Let's see how happy Labour voters are when this government run the country into the ground over the next 4 or 5 years.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


How did you figure that out?

40% of the population didn't vote because the Tories and Labour are two cheeks of the same arse. Ones as bad as the other.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


Your argument is flawed, it was the lowest turn out since early 2000. People working abroad can vote by post, if they are sick they can get someone (officially), to place their vote. There is no way someone would forget about the election, it was in the media 24 hours a day for 6 weeks.


These poor souls were just foot soldiers for Starmer, put an X to the Labour candidate box, and you get Starmer and his crew in number 10.


The two main UK political parties were both singing from the same hymn sheet, no doubt there was some higher authority pulling their strings. let's remember to visit this thread in 4 or 5 years time, to see if there are any changes.

News / What will Britain's Labor Coup mean for Poland? [100]


They are spot on. This is also the consensus here, 40% didn't vote because they knew the Tories had lost as soon as the election was announced.

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]


I wish Global warming would hurry up and get to the UK. Despite what the met office will tell you about the warmest record months since records began, It has been rather a cold year, with less than 14 days when the temperature got over 24C.

News / Flood in Lower Silesia in Poland - looks catastrophic [94]


The one thing that will cut temperatures is clouds blocking the sun, and later turning to heavy rain. There have been many reports of cloud seeding or geoengineering going on in many countries around the world, and recently they are being more open about it, saying it is a £ billion business. bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30197085

Fairytale of New York is a great Christmas song and probably my favourite. Another one played a lot this time of year is by Mariah, not a bad song either.
