Love / My Stupid Friend [40]

Koala bear.. you appear to be contradicting yourself. ... one the one hand you say that he is right not to accept the friendship between his gf and the other guy.. but then you say she is an idiot to stay with him.. I dont understand.

Actually I can see it from both points of view, but if he is a newish friend then I think he is right to be wary as it seems to me that this friendship is not entirely innocent.. I think the poster has designs on the woman, whether he admits it or not.

Love / In love with a Polish teacher... [83]

I dont understand why Bendable Bones would want to go to dinner with him and his wife.. surely that would make things a whole lot worse. Lets face it there is no way she is going to be just friends with him. He is enjoying and encouraging this infatuation to feed his ego.. and that is just what it is.. infatuation that will fade with time.

Love / hi ya, im stasha from chicago, in love with a man from warsaw ;) [37]


Thank you. Its easier said than done though when you really love someone. I sometimes wish I could follow my own advice. :)

Love / hi ya, im stasha from chicago, in love with a man from warsaw ;) [37]

Sounds like he is afraid of committment. After 2 years you have a right to know if its going somewhere or not, otherwise why waste time. My advice is next time he says he needs some space.. give it to him.. for good! Sorry, I know thats easy for me to say and very difficult if you love someone, but I think you need to call his bluff.. if he loves you the way you do him, then he wont want to lose you. If he thinks you are going to walk away then you find out for sure if he really loves you or not.

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]


Is this a joke? You say you dont hate anybody, but your post smacks of hatred. If you are serious then it is you who is the mean spirited one and I would recommend your Polish roommate finds somewhere else to live... quickly!

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]

i smoke but I am not addicted... OK I guess you are thinking I'm deluded, but seriously this is how I feel. I took up smoking only a few years ago.. I smoke an average of 3-5 cigarettes a day, mostly in the evening. I never smoke in the morning or even day time except for weekends. I often go for 2 or 3 weeks without any cigarettes and then have one when I feel like it. Im not saying its a good thing, but I enjoy it now and again even though I know its bad for me and dont feel I would have any problem quitting for good if I chose to do so.

UK, Ireland / Polish tramp dies in Wolverhampton. [17]

i was intrigued by this.. Ive been to Wolverhampton many times and have never seen or heard of him before. Mind you I dont have a car, so maybe I didnt go past his island. Anyway, by all accounts he was happy there, must have been if he stayed so long.

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]

i guess you have heard of smirting... smoking and flirting ..where people get together over a fag outside the pub.. well now there is smurking.. smoking and lurking.. where non-smokers join the smokers outside the pubs so they can chat up the talent... soon there will be no need for pubs. Everyone just go to the off licence and meet for drinks in the park, smoking or non smoking welcome.. oh sorry, Polish men already do that :)

Love / My Stupid Friend [40]

i can comment on this from my own perspective. My best mate was a guy and I also have a lot of other platonic male friends.. when I got with my current partner.. he didnt understand these platonic friendships with men, and in particular the best mate. Although it was totally innocent, we were very close and this caused probs. in my relationship as my bf didnt believe it could be as innocent as it was and the mate didnt like the bf so made it worse, by provoking the situation which increased the suspicions. I do still see the mate, but not nearly as much as I used to, which is kind of sad, but I was forced to make this choice. Of course every situation is different, but it sounds like there are some similarities here, that the bf doesnt have total trust in his partner and feels threatened by other males, no matter how innocent your intentions. She may have to choose between your friendship and her relationship, but you mustnt try to force this choice on her.

Love / My Stupid Friend [40]

Av. Joe, i do appreciate your point, but to be honest I am speaking from my own experience of having a controlling, possessive partner..ultimately its up to the individual and nothing your mates say will have any influence if you love that person.

Love / My Stupid Friend [40]


so why are you posting if you are not bothered.. are you just wanting to look out for her as a mate? If so, then although I understand your concern, I would say but out of their relationship.. its for her to decide herself if she wants to be with him or not.. and nothing you can say or do will change her mind.

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

are you going to tell us what it was?

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

never look in a mans bedroom.. you dont know what you might find.. however, in this case it sounds like its a good job you did. I suppose he lives alone and it was definitely his bedroom and not somebody elses? Run for the hills... he is a dirty, lying scumbag who is more in need of a cleaner than a girlfriend.

Love / Bad experience with a Polish Guy who... had another girlfriend :( [49]

Im sorry to hear of your problems, but I reckon you should go meet the girlfriend when she is with him... could be an interesting conversation. I'm sure if she exists she doesnt know about you so why not call his bluff and show him up for the cheating toe-rag he really is.

News / British moved to POLAND on BBC tonight [74]


well I dont wish to be rude, but as we were discussing stereotyping Polish people I believe that Kilkline was joking about the man in the moustache.. and was well of aware of who he was. So your response seemed a tad defensive.. anyway its up to you. Have a nice weekend. BTW.. I know Lech Walesa did a lot in the political arena, but he is really as lecherous as was made out on this programme.. he just kept talking about women all the time.. or was that just Michael Palin's interpretation?? answers on a postcard please.

Love / STRANGE BEHAVIOUR FROM MY POLISH FRIEND [16]

is this the same guy that you mentioned before that only wanted to be mates with you, but you said you werent bothered as you were attached anyway? just wondering as I cant understand why you were going on a date if thats the case.. or is that the guy are you attached to??? Anyway, it is pretty obvious that he is jealous.. might be a case of he doesnt want you, but doesnt want anyone else to either.

all depends on your definition of decent doesnt it. Although it has had a bad reputation, actually some parts of Handsworth are quite desirable these days...got to be better than Newhall anyway.

Love / FEMALE 'BEST FRIEND' ACCORDING TO A POLISH GUY [22]

he likes your company but doesnt fancy you or doesnt want to get involved with you for some other reason... simple as that. Sorry if its not what you want to hear. Relationships can develop from friendships, but listen to what he is saying. As for the last poster... crawl back to whatever hole you came from.

LOL. he resisted the temptation to drink copious amounts of vodka though.. at least on camera anyway.

UK, Ireland / Polls for Poles in the UK [178]

I have to say that Im a bit surprised by this post from someone who normally speaks a lot of wisdom. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I fail to see the problem with people being allowed to vote whilst living overseas, whether they are EU members or not. There were actually 24 polling stations in the UK and 7 of them were in London.. I dont understand why this bothers you.. personally I dont think its a bad thing to have the right to vote.. wherever you may be living

Can you give examples of when the BBC have portrayed Poland badly?

anyway we will be lucky if they make any more programmes, let alone have time to spread Polonophobia.. the way things are looking with their 'small' debt problem.
