welcome to Dakka Deliberatus

can hardly type for laughing

There are school clubs for Warhammer so maybe they don't need to put it in the books.
Sounds like the crazy sort of marketing would go in for.
They still haven't discovered adverts at Willow Road.

I've never seen any GW "publicty" in a UK school/teaching book.

Looks to me, from the phrasing etc etc, as if they were just trying to show or use something a bit different or more interesting than the usual disco/roller skating/ going to park/cinema etc etc

( I for one, have no desire ever to go to La Rochelle now due to my French GCSEs, the mere twang of an acoustic guitar is almost enough to trigger flashbacks .. thanks Higher Education ! ).

I would perhaps suggest that comparisons of GW and ( I assume) the Third Reich are .. well...somewhat ridiculous here...


.. *one of oh-so-many punchlines of your choice here*

Thank you for posting this link Deliberitus886. It is very interesting.

It is funny that GW is advertising in a textbook, but I don't think it's "third reich" style. Just old-fashioned capitalism.

On a related note, those English sentences were weird, gramatically. Not bad English, just not how people would speak.

I realize that this is probably what I sounded like when I started speaking French.

So to all those Frenchies who had to listen to me mangle your language when I visited a decade+ ago, I apologize for sounding like an idiot.

Yes I agreed but indoctrinated kids like nazi/soviet do it.
GW doing more controversy things in Poland and world .


I find better translator .

Honestly, your translator wasn't to bad. One I tried for Spanish had me saying 'kittens are delicous' when I wanted to say 'I like cats". My teacher was horrified.

The word you seek is Propaganda.

And I agree, slipping the game into school textbooks is fairly off.

Are you purposely making this as difficult as possible to get accurate results from a translator?

It is also highly misleading.

Wybaczcie proszę łaskawy panie, by uzyskać dla mnie zestaw czterech dodatkowych mocne piwo z tym funta dziesięć uwagę, mam ci dać?

Excuse me please kind sir, would you obtain for me a four pack of extra stong lager with this ten pound note I shall give you?

would be more like it.

I see mining of situation the grammar .
But you understand now watt i writing /or not

Few are those who survive the discombobulation accusal.

Truly thou art forwith numbered amongst the blessed.

Sorry to get sidetracked Deliberitus.

Yes you are coming through loud and clear.
The sense of what you are saying is fine.

It is a bit naughty of GW to do this if it is genuine.
It is hard to say for certain whether it is an internet hoax.
This would not surprise me.
On the other hand, it could be genuine, which also would not surprise me. The only thing GW could to that would raise an eyebrow would be to put an advertisement in a comic or magazine (other than White Dwarf)

Sow you don’t be surprise when I see haw GW cheating when you buy militia box.

They showing parts from other boxes mixed wit parts from parts of that box.
Sow you cannot make that model what show you on the box you ,sow you haven’t got parts for that.
You haven’t got Pitchfork
See the link http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/25234f091dcac78f.html

Deliberitus? Here, on DakkaDakka?

Please ignore him. He's a troll banned from both polish Warhammer forums (forum.wfb-pol.org and www.wh40k.pl) for his pathetic flamebaits and trolling people. Actually some of his posts were so defamatory he had to oficially apologize for them to avoid lawsuits.
If someone here knows polish (cześć!), I can provide him with relevant links and/or contact with admins of aforementioned forums.

EDIT: Ye gods, and that dumb "no pitchfork in militia box" flame attempt. He did that already on both forums. It's not even funny anymore.

Seems Tomash is trying to BLAME THE VICTIM!

But there should be pitchforks

you can't have a proper angry mob without pitchforks.

Or torches.

Definitely
Pitchforks and torches are de rigour for any self respecting angry mob.

I wouldn't call that mob "proper" or "self-respecting." They'd all need monocles and petticoats in addition to pitchforks for that.

edit: After googling, apparently I have no idea what a petticoat is. Let the comment stand, no less.

I think the term you were looking for was "waistcoat".

I would like to add something to this thread. Just for posterity.

biccat wrote:I think the term you were looking for was "waistcoat".

I prefer 'weskit' myself, as in:

6. THOU SHALT NEVER FASTEN THE LOWEST BUTTON ON THY WESKIT.

Ah, The Chap manifesto, a shining light in a sea of oafishness...

Monocles wellies weskits petticoats and pitchforks all warmly illuminated by the flickering of the torches!


Ah! Happy days. *sigh*

Looks like indoctrination to me.

These children are learning English.

They are learning, at this point, about purchases.

Each poage has a GW mini on it and the questions are angled at purchasing their particular products... "Warhammer" is explicitly mentioned.

Despite the language issues and poor translation this is one of the most coherent threads that has been posted in Off-topic in ages...

Ooh, take that everyone

Very funny way of teaching English.
Maybe the language program has a low buget?

In Polish


Bardzo zabawna nauczania angielskiego w taki sposób.

Program musi mieć niską buget?

You kidding?
If it is GW related the Polish schools will be paying through the nose for those books.
