Life / "Why bother!" - Experiences of life in Poland... [47]


The English taxman also employs f*cktarded morons.

HOWEVER, it is worth remembering that the chances of f*cktarded morons being employed by the English taxman not actually being English are considerably higher than f*cktarded morons employed by the Polish taxman not actually being Polish.

In fact we can say that whilst f*cktarded morons employed by the English taxman may be Polish, we can say that f*cktarded morons employed by the Polish taxman are almost certainly not English.

View yourself as the fisherman. You decide if the catch is worth keeping or not

No mate. You've probably hooked yourself a goodun. No need to throw her back unless your trousers start disappearing from the wardrobe.

No. It's a national trait.

now watch for all the posts saying this is wrong and they know better

Travel / Does a strong Zloty damage Poland's tourism [14]


I didnt say that but never mind. Anyway, the point is that prices for some products and services appear to be sky rocketing in Poland.

Travel / Does a strong Zloty damage Poland's tourism [14]

Aha. Thanks

Travel / Does a strong Zloty damage Poland's tourism [14]

It's a combination of a strenghtening zloty and prices going up.

Is it normal for hotel prices to go down at the weekend?

News / "We buy out Poland, Hungary, and Romania!" - the President of Israel [74]


I don't think you really understand the ways of the world Poland has now become part of.

Poland has had billions of euros of EU money invested to help POLAND. Foreign investors are coming to make money in this new market in the same way that Poles have come to the UK to make money. Everyone benefits from this movement of resources.


Many Poles do appear very naive. Some also appear hypocritical. Like you.

That was Polish embassy staff, no?

Just in case there were any further misunderstandings.

Travel / WE ARE BACK FROM POLAND AND HERE IS OUR REPORT [96]

Not quite sure what you are talking about Lukasz but I think the relevent topic was just how bad Polish driving tends to be.

With regards to this, the OP said that the general opinion of the forum about Polish driving is right. It is terrible.

I said I agree. Polish driving is frequently horrific. I also said that there are people who can't admit this despite the overwhelming evidence

IMO it's good to question. I believe in looking for solutions rather than problems but I am also a skeptic and tend not to take things at face value. If your questioning reveals that all is good, then great. Problem solved. But in this instance I remain unconvinced.


At the moment, but life takes me all over the place, which is how I like it :)


I did. Smelly ;)

Travel / WE ARE BACK FROM POLAND AND HERE IS OUR REPORT [96]

Thanks for the report. An enjoyable read


LOL. Yes. But there are still those who live in denial.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]


Sorry, its a nationality trait I haven't been able to shake.

I agree with your sentiments and concerns. In one respect it's fantastic that the shale offers a possible route out of our current energy troubles but I sincerely believe that it's not the answer we are looking for. The UK government has just announced that they plan to rebuild of nuclear power stations as well as schedule new ones. Great. But I don't believe nuclear power is the answer either. Something tells me that following these options, we would just be creating problems for our children, or our childrens' children.

Perhaps cow farts are indeed the way forward but I am sure Paty mentioned kangaroos :)

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

are you a fish?

But seriously. Dont you think it would be better for all if we started looking for energy sources that aren't expensive, wasteful and environmentally hazardous?

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

Oh, thats all right then.

The fact that conventional oil prices are high obviously negates the fact that oil shale production is expensive, wasteful and environmentally hazardous. Silly me for not realising that earlier.

Travel / Warsaw Uprising Museum [7]

Judging by the website alone, this really does look like an impressive museum and a must for anyone visiting the city. I was really suprised how cheap entry is too.

I for one will be sure to visit next time I'm in Warsaw

If you ban smacking your children you may well end up with a generation of little sh!ts who need a damn good smacking. A bit like England.


Could you provide your source please.

Im waiting to sell my house at some distant point in the future before I pay the heating bill I will have built up by then. The downside of owning a period property with sash windows.

Travel / Polish spa resorts [10]

My times in Baltic coast saunas have not involved wearing very much. In fact nothing. Which was probably a frightening experience for those in the sauna with me but never mind. I enjoyed it.

As for your dim and pointless question, I would suggest a more casual dresscode than Warsaw. Coastal is always more casual than Capital I tend to think. Plus you might well venture down to the beach for some nocturnal revalry and the Polish coast does tend to be pretty laid back

Have a little self respect. This is the greatest gift you can give yourself at present. Remember, you don't need anyone else to validate your self-worth. A healthy relationship is not formed through a mixture of adoration and constant defence. Have a little self respect.

News / Pope's would-be killer wants to move to Poland [36]


You would like me to be sticking to this assumption, wouldn't you, as it would give you an excuse to scream polonophobia again. Although quite how you would make that assumption from what I have said is not immediately apparent, but that doesn't seem to have stopped you previously.

Is it infact the case that you have experience of neither Polish nor American prisons and have drawn your assumptions on the basis of 'if its Polish, it's got to be better?'

News / Pope's would-be killer wants to move to Poland [36]


I of course don't know that but would expect someone who was saying that A is better than B would have some personal experience on which to base their claim.

It is always refreshing to have people speak from personal experience on the forum and if you have this of Polish or American prisons then please share.

So many here seem to base their assumptions on other peoples' words. Hardly credible, wouldn't you agree?
