Basically it lists all the threads that have been posted in since you last checked it.
If you haven't used it for a while it'll be full so you should click on "reset the checking date". That can be found in black writing among the red writing at the top. Try todays date. It'll clear more of the threads. Clear the rest by scrolling down to the bottom and ticking the grey box next to "delete selected". Do this for each page until you have only a few threads left.
After doing that, if you use the checker each day you'll see which threads have been posted in (even after the disappear off the latest discussions page). Remember to deleted the selection each day though or you'll end up with hundreds.
Hope that helps a little more. :)

Life / Uniformed people in Poland - explanation needed. [17]
I used to think that until I called the police one night when a group of 5 boys trashed a woman in my streets garden and I called the police. I said, a woman in my street has had her garden trashed by 5 young males and now they are harassing her in the street. The 999er said "are they physically attacking her" and I said "not yet" and they said "so it's not an emergency." I replied that it pretty much was because she is in her 80's and I was about to hang up and go out to get her and they asked me name and I said "why is that important?" and they said they needed a name to dispatch an emergency vehicle and I said "but Crimestoppers says you don't need to provide your name and address."
I'm still waiting on the Police to arrive on that one by the way and that was four years ago. When I contacted them to ask about the lack of response they said they'd done drive-bys. So I told them I must have missed that while I was waiting in casualty with the woman and hung up.
Believe me PD the UK doesnt do things that badly, and Poland doesnt do things that well. Wait till u live here, u'll see

Don't they have a little sign that they ask you to place after your shopping saying "till closed"? (or in Polish).

Self-checkouts - I won't have anything to do with them. Either it won't eat your notes or it won't accept your card or it breaks down half way through scanning your products. My local store removed them.
Tescos here (for me) seems to be the one with most tills open and in the others there are queues. I was in another supermarket on Friday in a giant queue and they put out a tannoy message listing about 8 names to come to the checkouts urgently and open up...I still waited 20 minutes, no one appeared that I could see...(PD is having a rant! ;)
Good, somewhere has it right at least.
depends on the time of the day, but i gotta say that when there is loads of people around all the tills will be opened. it's not like in tescos in uk when they frantically start ringing a lil bell when they see that quite a large queue forming. tescos, out of all the supermarkets in uk, in my opinion is the worst. and i hate the self check out tills, they are always broken!

No, it's Oct 2009 without a doubt. Other breads have Nov 2009 so I asked our chef and he said it was something about long-lasting (freezable or something) and should remain fresh, when unopened, for a year. Worries me that.
In the bigger stores in Poland is it normal to have 23 checkouts but only ever about 7 in operation (like it is here)?
ha ha must admit never seen anything like that, when i was single i would have bought it in a flash, now id get a slapped ear for glancing at it, sure it was supposed to be oct 2008.

How many preservatives do you think are in bread that has a sell by date of Oct 2009 like I found in my work today? I prefer to buy fresh bread that only lasts a couple of days.
not like uk which will last 9 days with all preservatives,

Life / PAYING TO TAKE A PISS IN POLAND, it's BIZARRE [77]
That's true, you just have to look but I'm not sure about pubs and restaurants. Here most pubs/restaurants want you to be a paying customer before using their toilets so that isn't really free. Many department stores have customer toilets.
-pubs and restaurants
-public libraries, culture centres, university buildings etc.
In a city you can always find a free toilet if you know where to look for it.

Who doesn't though? Overall money creates a better lifestyle and people crave a better lifestyle. Most people don't work for the love of the job but simply the money it generates. Or they may love their job but equally love the money.

Although I will say, I think that most Polish people who arrive in the UK would fall into that first group. At least from my experience. Having said that, I know a few Polish people who are now encouraging their parents to join them.

OK, just to try and be helpful I asked my friend these questions. She won't register here (no idea why not) so here goes with her answers...
1. - Second group.
2. - job prospects, moved to Bristol first where her sister and brother-in-law were living also travelling, has live in a few places in the UK.
3. - Has no plans to go back to Poland at the moment and if her boyfriend settles in a job they'll most likely stay as she is about to start college here.
4. - See answer 3
5. - No because of the economy in the UK but it should pass. Overall, happy in the UK, moreso where she has settled now.
What's wrong with that? You're a vampire, you're in your 100s! ;)
