Life / Brits moving to live in Poland [88]

The Scots travelled far and wide long before 2004, that's a fact!

I agree, Delph. The UK has been swamped with foreigners for a long time.

Poland is a "small" European country? Fooled me

News / What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]

We gave Hitler what he wanted for so long, under Chamberlain. Then we gave Stalin a free reign after WWII.

If America didn't want communism so badly, why didn't they take a stand then? They took the easy option of nuking Japan.

Real Estate / Poland land 50-50 [8]

Yes, a signed letter should be enough. The medical diagnosis alone will show that she has diminished capacity.

News / Poland will take half a century to catch up with the West [240]

Gold Member status can be bought, Puzzler.

I agree, what is "the West"? East Germany used to be the East, ostracised for obvious reasons. Now, through unification, it has become the West. Some may even say that Berlin is the capital of the West.

So, transformation, through which Poland has undergone a fairly radical one on many levels, is ignored in this case? The falling of communism was synonymous with change and unity in Germany, why not here?

Travel / Taking a Camper (Motor-home) to Poland [16]

That's the key, free time to take everything in and enjoy the sights. Getting back in touch with nature would be nice

Life / How do Polish people view themselves? [92]

Polish pride is quite well established. However, behind the ostensible confidence lay insecurities.

TBH, it just depends!

Real Estate / Good Places to Live in Warsaw [21]

I stayed in a good hotel in the centre. I can imagine the rent being sky-high tho. Better avoided!!

Travel / Taking a Camper (Motor-home) to Poland [16]

I'd actually like to take a camper around parts of Poland myself. Being a Scot, I'm fond of camping and sticking to basic supplies.

I sincerely hope that you guys enjoyed yourselves, well, there are fewer midgies here after all.

Feedback / Keeping track of the threads [8]

The Search facility is very useful. All you need is a keyword and you can retrieve old topics.

That's what I do, it works wonders.

Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]

A week ago, well, being homesick is natural. Give it time, adjustment doesn't happen overnight.

Remember why you moved, that helps.

Food / Tatar - a raw meat dish [28]

I was lucky that I lived in port towns in Japan and sashimi was guaranteed to be fresh. Tatar isn't always.

Tatar just isn't tasty enough to risk it. Just like carp, fatty but tastes bad.

Real Estate / Poland land 50-50 [8]

This is a case of 'in loco parentis', just applied differently. I have only a slight knowledge of Canadian law but fairly extensive knowledge of private international family law. When it comes to the statute of limitations for summary offences (in Canada), it is six months from the committing of the offence. However, tax evasion/avoidance is a more serious matter. An action can be raised at any time.

I'm not too well-versed on the following but know that it exists. You mentioned repo action which triggered the memory of a seminar I had on this matter. I'm fairly sure that Canada signed to the imposition of a stated time limit after the occurence of a 'relevant event'. There are time limits to the raising of an action but, I'm very sorry, I don't know them. They may have been subject to revision. The Scottish Law Commission is forever updating provisions, and we follow a principle-based Romano-Germanic system.

Public policy dictates that matters are dealt with expeditiously and fall to the rightful heir, you in this case. However, much like intestate succession, the express intention of the contract makers is important before division is decided upon.

This begs the question, whose plan if for 50-50 may I ask?

I've unearthed a decent article on it. Should you wish to discuss the legal provisions ensconced within, just holler buddy.

Here, ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/dlmoir/propdiv.htm it is Canada specific. Bear in mind it is only to 2004.

Food / Tatar - a raw meat dish [28]

I tried this once, not bad not bad.

I ate raw fish (sashimi) for quite a while but I was reluctant to try raw meat. However, it went down well.

My landlord prepared it well.

Work / Teaching french in poland [6]

There are many schools that teach French here. I was unofficially tested by the French teacher at my school and she is good. She is Polish of course.

News / interview with Donald Tusk (Financial Times) [41]

Poland is not yet a safe country if we are to take Russia's barking seriously but many don't and with good reason.

A good relationship with Ukraine is still sth to build on.
