I was thinking Keira Knightley would play the part of my girlfriend and I would have to play the part of me. To provide true realism of course, I think that some bedtime scenes would have to be included......

Oh bugger. Well I dont have much chance of meeting them, if there are any, when admin is merging my posts into ones that dont have much relevance:(

Well, if all users wanted to ask detailed questions about the Polish place they live at, it woudn't be very practical. So far you created topics about:

- Chinese Restaurants in Torun,
- Polish lessons in Torun,
- Want to meet a British in Torun,
- Want to learn Polish in Torun,
- Want to find a teaching job in Torun,
- Want to get tips on living in Torun

Perhaps it would be better to find a website that specifically covers Torun area?

What about an Englishman living in Poland? Try to look outside the box here. An Englishman madly in love with his Polish girlfriend moves to Poland, gets a job , finishes with girl then uncovers a plot by one of his fellow teachers to take over the world. It is the Englishman alone in a foreign country trying to save the world(and also having problem making the girl from telepizza understand my address, stupid girl) Sweet Jesus I have just thought up an idea for a film.

Yes ok Bart I will accept the BBC's funding for this project but only as a personal favour to you. You seem like a good guy, also you have the name of my favourite charachter in the Simpsons. With your cash and my plot we will rule the world.

Life / Help... only 14 or 15 more weeks to relocate to Poland! [6]

Well if you are looking for a quick way to get a job teaching English is a good idea. There is a course called Callan, it seems to be very popular in Poland and most schools will take you without having a qualification. Its very easy to teach and is a good starting base. You would be surrounded by Polish people all the time and although you would be speaking English mainly they can tell you translations, you can chat during the lunch breaks and also talk with the other teachers. There are may of these schools located over the country Ill post a website that has most of them for you

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]


I really cant remember saying anything like that. However i did try to explain that ruining the girls life and wishing death on the guy wouldnt help :) The only person i have really tried to defend is the girl. After all he is the one that has made a lifelong promise to someone else. If she knew then it is very bad what she has done , but at the same time one glance at a wedding ring should be enough to resist temptation.

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]

come on. this guy went away on business and met a young lady. What do you think the chances are of him tell her that he is married are. You previously mentioned the Polish views on marriage and breaking them up. Unless maybe he is an honest guy and did tell her. However I thought everyone was saying that this man is a pile of crap and isnt truthfull so if that is true I think he didnt tell this girl;

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]


I think if he had to tell you. Think how you would have felt if you bumped into them one day without knowing it could happen and saw that she was pregnant. Wouldnt you feel worse? The pain and suprise would be clearly visible to them and later you would feel worse that you had shown them this. At least now you have a chance to attempt to put on a brave face if you should ever bump into them,

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]


No that doesnt make it ok but it gives less reason to intentionalty ruin her life :)

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]

but jackson you cant spend your life hoping that the people who have hurt you will one day feel that pain. They didnt do any of this to hurt you. I know it hurts please believe me its not just amathyst who understands this feeling, but if you spend a long time wishing bad for other people it wont help you. In the future when you are getting over this you will see what I mean. Yes your husband is a bastard for doing this. I belive that if someone wants somebody else then out of respect to their partner they should explain things before doing anything. however when somebody wants something different it is inevitable that person will go.

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]

sounds like a woman scorned. Yes youre right go out and ruin this girls life. Get her a bad reputation, ruin her chance of getting good CV's and therefore make life hard for her and her baby. Im sure that will make jackson feel better knowing that there id 1 more child growing up in the world in a bad situaton.


T no point have i said I dont feel sorry for Jackson loosing someone you love is a terrible experience, I know this. however I dont feel it is neccesary to wish death upon that man and then make a pregnant girls life difficult. I suppose it depends on your outlook on life

Love / What makes Polish girls tick - or is it just women in general....:-) [64]


Thats really great. Wishing a man to die for deciding to start a new life. I had someone in my family murdered and I would even wish death on him.


Clap clap clap. I dont think that would be a good idea. The woman has not fallen in love and got pregnant to hurt jackson51. She doent even know the woman. I could understand doing something like this if it was a friend who had done this to her but still it seems a pretty low thing to do especially as she is will be bringing a new life into this world, she will need to be able to support that baby. Does the baby really deserve to be punished?

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

best advice is to live in Torun. It has clubs pubs cinemas restaraunts etc. The town centre is nice and you can walk around the town at night. It is only 40 minutes to Bydgoszcz if you have your own car so you could have the best of both worlds.

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

Hi I live in Torun which is next to Bydgoszcz. I also work every day in the town. I must be honest I havent really seen a lot of the town. My understanding is that it is a good twon. It has shopping a shopping centre and also cinemas etc. For a family of three it really depends on what sort of accomodation you will be looking for. Food wise i spend about 150zl a week (about 30pound). So its safe to say you can times that by three.

Also if you are going to live in Bydgoszcz I strongly recomend you get a car. Public transport isnt too bad but with the shopping centre being at the edge of the town its best not to be relying on buses to get your shopping back home.

I only hear things about Bydgoszcz from the people I teach. The adults seem to like it but the teenagers moan and say there is nothing to do. But I think that is the same for teenagers worldwide:) Feel free to email me any time Ill be happy to help. oliwerpalmer@yahoo.co.uk.

Ive been here about 5 months and im still loving it. If you need any help setting up I can help you I only live an hour away and like I said I have to go to work there nearly every day

Love / Why some of the polish girls look so cold but they are not? [16]

I dont think it is a case of being cold but more a case of shyness. I imagine you met her in a country different to that of her own. My girlfriend was different at the start but then you have to realise that women are genarly different in Poland. They behave much more elegant and dont normally sleep with guys the first time they meet them. So they have to think how an English girl behaves and is probably thinking is she behaving much differently. There is also the language difference which between 2 people isnt very bad but all around her every day she hears a different language so it may have been hard for her to feel comfortable. Anyway Polish women rock and they are very loving towards their men.

I know its nice to encourage him and all, but this is a business venture we are talking about and it involves peoples money. Every Polish person I have met laughs when we talk about beer in UK with stella being the strongest sold in most pubs at only 5.1%

I dont think it would be fair to advise this guy to bring Bud here. If it works then fair enough, but I think you can see from the comments that a minority think its a good idea. When considering a plan like this he should think about what the majority thinks as that is where the most cash will be. Whatever they decide good luck.

Life / brits learning to drive in poland [4]

I just wonder if you speak Polish, if the instructor will speak good enough Polish, and is there a Polish theory exam? That could be the tricky part but its a good idea.

Law / American beer business opportunities in Poland [84]

Budwieser??? Here in Poland??? Ha ha ha ha No way my friend , Fosters 9which tastes abouy as week as bud) is sold in my small local shop, in my 5 months of being here not one has been sold. The dust is really beggining to build up. One of the few continental beers that sells here is Corona which tastes great with a little bit of lime in the bottle. If bud were to offering something different then maybe it would work. The average Polish beer is about 5.6 percent and has a full flavour, so you wont get many people drinking your bud. Maybe the ladies would like to drink something a bit weeker, but i doubt it. Sorry mate

Surely if they had transfered to Poland the children would require Polish lessons not English?
