Real Estate / Current price of Homes in Poland [41]

there are too many variables involved to answer that question - size and location for starters.

polish real estate prices are largely based on a sqm figure. work out what this is for the property you have in mind, compare this to other properties on the market locally and go from there.

exactly what is happening in the polish real estate market atm will depend on who you talk to. i spoke to 3 agents yesterday and suprise suprise was told 3 different things. it will also depend on the individual property in question. where i am, prices havent so much dropped as leveled off and the market is much less fluid than it was 6 months ago.

again where i am, properties are taking longer to sell and people are dropping prices to move properties quickly. if the property you are looking at has been on the marlet for a while, and the owner wants a sale, then obviously there is scope for an offer that reflects this.

using an agent can simplify the negotiation process but comes at an obvious cost - their fees. what they are able to negotiate for you with the vendor may negate the additional cost of the agent and frequently they themselves are open to negotiation with what they will charge for their services.

as said, there are too many variables involved to really give a concrete answer to your question - if the property has been on the market for a while go in with a low offer. they might say yes. if not, go back to the negotiating table and move from there. a property is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it!

good luck

strangely enough there was a reasonable mexican place on monte cassino about 12 years ago. didnt last long as i think only me and my german friend ate there. shame. its all gone down hill since then. the one in the crazy house tries, but as you say, cabbage with fajitas just aint right.

too many children and not enough food is a 3rd world thing...

lets not forget that the majority of americans were in favour of the war not so very long ago.

UK, Ireland / UK is Poles apart from home [39]

any man who like beer and english brekkies cant be all that bad in my book. he came over to blighty with his mrs and he got on with building a life and a future for himself. none of this sitting around moaning about how hard done by he was. got a job and found a home. good on him

theyve got aspirations and they are achieving goals. they are probably raising their child in a better environment that they themselves grew up in. good luck to them

UK, Ireland / Survey of Poles in the UK [24]

for many reasons. the sample size, the way the questions have been phrased, that it was conducted in english etc etc etc the list goes on. it's a probable fail of a first year business studies student questionnaire.

mate, youll be sorely missed. but can you just give the bog a quick once over before you fuk off back to your own cuntry.

if such a disproprtionate amount of poles hadnt turned up in the uk over such a relitively short period of time then they wouldnt have made such an impressionable impact on england and found themselves on the receiving end of the inevitable backlash. l

lets draw a comparison to the stags in krakow. if such a large and noticable number hadnt turned up in such a short period of time then perhaps they wouldnt have wound the locals up to such an extent.

lol

you just have to look at the title to know its written by a pole moaning about how hard done by they are

get over yourselves guys and take a little responsibility. you might find that people start taking you a little more seriously

Life / My girlfriend wants to go back to Poland as she thinks lifes better there [36]

didnt giles write an interesting thread about just how difficult many poles find readjusting to life back in poland after time in the uk.

there is all this talk about standards of living but this is near impossible to guage. little things we take for granted in the uk are frequently not available here in poland, especially if you are living outside one of the larger cities. dont see many 24 hr shops here, very little choice if you want to go out for a decent meal, limited brands in the supermarkets...

was speaking to giles earlier in the week. he has done his sums and recons for he and his wife to have a lifestyle andywhere near comparible to what they had in england they need to clear a minimum of 10K zl a month.

if you run a car, petrol will soon cost more in poland than the uk. probably by the summer. put things into perspective

UK, Ireland / Survey of Poles in the UK [24]

passing this survey off as a credible source of factual information is a little bit offensive really. i would expect more from the beeb

News / Why does Poland love the US? [144]


polands fears of russia are irrational and the eu and nato are more than capable of defending poland if push comes to shove. poland is deluding itself thinking that america has any agenda other than self-interest by placing its missile system on polish soil.

if poland wants to strengthen its ties with america over those with the eu then fair enough. but as you say, close distant relationships need a special understanding and if you p!ss of your neighbours, who knows what they might chuck over the garden fence.

so whilst the eu and nato are capable of providing the security that poland feels it needs against a perceived threat from russia, the time might arise where the question to be asked is 'do they want to?'

UK, Ireland / Life in the UK for some Poles (sad article) [124]


if you pay peanuts you get monkies and if youre a monkey you are happy to work for peanuts.

the simple fact of the matter is that noone forced the polish to come to the uk and work for a pittance.

the simple fact of the matter is that the polish flocked in their hundreds of thousands to come and work at the bottom end of the employment market

if you stopped 'buying' stupid job proposals people would stop 'selling' them to you.

why do you have such difficulty understanding this?

every now and then you meet a cheeky little polish kuhnt. it aint no thing. you just got to treat the like the cheeky little polish kuhnt they are. i met one last night. he thought he was big enough to take my friends chair whilst he was at the bar. i said listen you cheeky little polish kuhnt, youre a cheeky little polish kuhnt. then i pulled the chair from under him. all his friends thought that was highly amusing. i didnt put the boot in whilst he was down. i wouldnt do that to a dog and even though he was a cheeky little polish kuhnt i thought it best not to do it to him either. i might have spilt my beer afterall. then there would have been trouble. cheeky little polish kuhnt

Study / More and more foreign students in Poland [33]


dont kid yourself, primarily they want their people to be educated where they can afford to pay the fees


customer satisfaction within education is recognised as being very difficult to measure. what the stats show, if anything, is that these students' expectations were perhaps met. just what expactations these asian and african students had of the polish education system is not shown by a percentage figure

im not knocking the polish education system per se, just putting things into perspective
