UK, Ireland / Belfast Telegraph won't print my comment. [133]

Im baning my head on the table here...what do you want me to say???????????? I dont think Poles are low, because I dont...The majority of the Poles I have had contact with in the UK have been through work (I work in an office)...

As for these great jobs, well you just showed us that you think you are superior, because for me someone who works the bins, is just as good as me...he does a job that needs to be done..we rely on them...look at the chaos when they dont turn up..

I wrote something completely diffrent

So tell us what you wrote, so we can understand.

History / UKRAINIAN GENOCIDE AGAINST POLES DOWNPLAYED [57]

And to think that most of these crimes were commited not by actual soldiers, but by these peoples neighbours. Family men who had lived by these people all their lives in peace, and who came home after a whole day of murdering, with no sense of guilt. Now they build monuments for these animals...

This has happend time and time again all around the world....Remember how Germans treated German Jews? Or how Slovakians treated Slovakian Jews? Remember most recently the Balkans and how neighbours behaved...Im not sure what makes people behave like this but its a reacurring factor when war occur, people forget that they once shared a coffee with these people, they just see them as the enemy and turn in to animals.

Sweety ? are you trying to be a smart ass?

Its a term of endearment...my mistake I wont use it again when I speak to you.

so go on give me more shite that I am inferior

I didnt say that you were and I certainly didn't intimate that in my posts. I like your posts and respect you as a member, so I dont quite understand why you are having a go at me.

Where would we be without garbage collectors and the 'lower' rungs of the ladder?

Just as a side note: do you know how much they get paid? They get paid very well so, for me they are not at the bottom of the ladder and they do an invaluable job in the UK.

no Shelly,I live of my hardly earned cash, no fricking benefits, and I dont do any poject at the moment.

I didnt mention benefits sweety, I just said you earn a living in NI and not in Poland hence the reason you are in NI and not Poland..Im not really having a go at you, I really am not, I just dont get why you are getting so mad about some paper not publishing you letter, see post 91

The problem is NI is far far bahind USA in XVIII.

Thats your opinion. You feel intent on trashing NI, thats your choice, but remember, they are giving you a living that you couldnt get in Poland, so evidently not as far behind as you think.

I don't get it, more likely there is nothing to get.

Its a Polish person complaining about Poles were treated badly in another country. Religion was brought in to because naturally there is the history with Ireland and the Catholics and the Prody Dogs....As I said earlier, if you dont like it dont read it.

I'll tell you about freedom of speech and news papers, 99.9% of letters that get sent in by the public generally get a good laugh in the office, then bined..that .1% that gets in the paper usually gets in there depending on how the editor is feeling, how do I know? Ive just finished a 12 month contract working for a national news paper. So if I were you, I wouldnt waste my time writing a letter in the first place.

NI is a rasist country and I am not talking about minorities

You really dont get it do you....Like I said you dont understand Ireland...If you hate it so much, go back to Poland, who of course are not at all racist.

We get told time and time again, that we do understand the "reality" of Poland, well, DB, you do not understand the reality of Ireland.

that is harsh. He has the right to do whatever he wants to do Shell, we live in a free world, unless this has been my understanding.

I understand what you are saying completely, but NI is a completely different kettle of fish and its hard enough for the locals that live there that have to put up with with the sh^t that goes on, without someone form the outside complaining and thinking they can change something that has being going on since adam was a lad.

That is how things change, slowly but surely.

Things have moved on but there are still underlying problems that only the Irish can sort out between themselves and some foreigner complaining about the situation over there will just anger most people. You have to understand the Irish mentality to understand the situation and outsiders do not nor will they ever understand, because they havent lived with the situation for hundreds of years.

We don't live in a free world at all and I could write 5 books on why not.

Ironically we are "given" freedom, whats fee about what someone choses to give us?

Shelly its really unavoidable here especially if you are trying to understand where you are so that you can integrate.

I completely appreciate that, but you know as well as I do, it is up to IRISH people to sort out these problems and outside interference isnt viewed well.

Depends if you're talking about the Prods that bang on about being British..

Not sure why you brought religion in to either..You're an outsider so why get in to the politics of Ireland, you dont really have any business doing so. Sorry to sound harsh but its the truth. We have a saying in England, never get in to discusisons about politics and relgion, it only causes arguments.

I ve sent them that prods should burn in hell, is that very offensive?

Id say so. My mum is a Prod. But having said that, having lived in cold Manchester all her life, Id say she'd be glad of the warmth ;0)

Having never read either papers I cant really comment sweety, I can imagine your anger at the article but at the end of the day, you are a foreigner living in a foreign country...expect to read negative things in local papers written by the indiginous population.

True but I get annoyed when i know other people do.
Just the way I'm built.

Its tomorrows chipper paper and there will be fresh articles just as hurtful and insulting, thats the way of the world...

UK, Ireland / The paradox of Polish drivers getting car insurance in the UK [14]

I have phoned a couple of insurance companies about getting car insurance for her but they're not interested until she's been in the UK for 12 months.

Try Tesco, they'll insure anyone.

Here's a whacky idea, why not get her insured as a second driver! Crazy idea I know but it might just work, also if you get your car insured for anyone to drive (another crazy idea I know), if she is over 24 then she can drive it...I must be out of my mind suggesting such things, but who knows it might just work!

Life / I'm an American who lived in Poland for 6 years. I'm not welcome anymore. [169]

#38
Dont forget that many poles go to usa on visit visas and stay there for forever.

Pots and kettles...at least they dont get in, in the back of a bloody lorry or try to import hundreds of their poor village relatives when they get there!! You know what as an Indian you really shouldnt get in to conversations like this, we are deporting so many of you lot every week and refussing visas for even more a day in Delhi!

majority of the west europeans who are also in EU refuse to go to poland on company assignments.

You are such a nob, we've got 5 Polish guys in our office working on a high profile project (all expenses paid, plus a nice uplift on salary), they've been seconded from our Warsaw office! The company was started by an English bloke, we have several English guys in the Warsaw office and in the Krakow office, so you my little British visa rejected friend are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong! England cant get enough of SKILLED Polish wokers - they understand the work, unlike the Indians who are working in the design office where a friend of mine works, who is almost tearing his hair out because the drawings are wrong every single day!

Love / Polish honey's rules and regulations [14]

No, he does not seem to mind what I do in my spare time, nor does he comment on other petty issues. He only talks of how much he can help me towards my finances.

Do you trust him? Do you see marriage on the cards? Do you feel he loves you?

Love / Polish honey's rules and regulations [14]

It reminds me of a story a friend once told me about how her mother used to give her dad "spends" because he once lost them a house, by the time I knew her (we were 9 years old when we first became friends) they lived in a nice house....Maybe he just wants to secure your future, but who knows, I dont know him....controlling comes in all forms...Does he mind you seeing your friends or family, does he tell you what you should eat or what to wear?

A compromise to the whole thing would be that he manages your finances and you only have a card that allows you to draw out what you have and have no overdraft...the other account he could manage...thus you still get to draw out your "own" money but know that you have a limited amount.

Love / What is your opinion on the Polish Ladies in Krakow? [82]

In Czech Republic Ostrava and Brno have a better reputation for friendliness than Prague.

Ive been the Prague quite a few times and have found the Czechs nothing but nice....I also enjoyed Pilsen and Karlovy Vary...In fact every place Ive visited in t!he Czech Rep Ive found the poeple friendly and really helpful. Brno is hardly worth visiting to be honest, I visted on my way to Slovakia.

Krakow the customer service was crap but the people in general were very nice, Wraclaw the service was excellent and the people were nice...

I hope the Polish Ladies realize the reason why so many men in the world have an interest in them is because of their non-Western reputation. If they Westernize, the traits that caused the interest will die and eventually so will the interest.

Oh dear another man who thinks that Polish women love nothing more than to stay at home and cook and clean LOL.....

UK, Ireland / Friend told "just allow your son to forget Polish" by school. [96]

ShelleyS, there's every indication that this child will _need_ Polish in the future (considering how much family he probably has there and how many Poles in Britain don't stay there forever no matter what they may say). Telling his parents to let him forget Polish is not serving his best interests in the slightest.

Then let him learn Polish when he goes back to live in Poland, or at least make English his first language, at present his life is in the UK and whilst Im sure in LIR's day it was easy to teach the odd kid who didn't speak English when they arrived for their first day at infants, in the present day situation it is becoming almost impossible for teachers to cope!

Im all for children learning another lanaguge, but I do think that they should at least speak one properly before they learn another!

And I'm not suprized. Tell your friends not to speak to their child in English at home.

Where do we initially pick up our language skills? Where did you learn your ABC? Mine was all at home, if the child isnt speaking English at home, then how is he to improve? Or should to the school be teaching him English? IMaybe some Poles should club together and open a private school, that way there wouldnt be a problem :0)

Is it enough to be british when you have been born and rised in UK ?

It would seem so? Sasha BC is part Welsh by the way, so he's at leat half British, personally I prefer to be called English...since any goat and camel can call themselves a Brit these days...
