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

This Polish American likes to harp on about snuffing out genocide, I applaud that. But, it was Clinton who authorised the bombing and stood by when the Serbs were mutilated. Rwanda, wow, what a success story that was :(

Aha, part Greek, right? Yeah, for sure you can.

Where were the Americans in WWII? It took some time as well, it's just the way of things. Britain and America did a sterling job in WWII. Patience prevailed.

She is Polish? I don't think so! I thought you said you weren't a real Pole too, Filios.

Aha, so we have to invest our vast resources so quickly? Gutrot, ever heard of strategic timing? Go and read Bob Woodward's book on American military planning. It takes a long time to put things in place.

Another moaning Polka, why didn't Poland look for a Slavic pact? LOL

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

Britain should have invaded Germany, LOL. That's one of the most historically naive comments I've ever heard.

Life / Are Polish People Hypochondriacs? [50]

Exactly, people harp on about passive smoking and its attendant ills but being struck down from sb else's bug is nasty. They should wear those masks that all the Asians wore when the SARS virus was on the go.

Life / Are Polish People Hypochondriacs? [50]

Yeah, but it's the weakness side of things I don't like. I battle on through thick and thin to do my job. Here, the snivels are enough to warrant a day off for many people. The problem is, you give them the easy option and they'll take it.

UK, Ireland / 33% of Poles in Ireland to return to Poland in 2009 [30]

I read 34% ;)

Yeah, we are Catholic but we don't even know what that means, super. They are likely that type.

Defending their position, even though their L4 record speaks for itself.

News / POLES the BLACKS of EUROPE? [104]

He's gonna be set up in all manner of ways. He has such vision but it's a crying shame that he's not gonna get to realise it. The powers that be will see to that.

Life / Are Polish People Hypochondriacs? [50]

Governmental enquiries and rampant bureaucracy would follow. Vodka would become ever more the stock cure for life's ills. Sales would shoot up.

What happens when a few doctors take a sickie?

Hahaha pgtx, dupa ;)

Oh, they liked it, a bit too much :)

Life / Are Polish People Hypochondriacs? [50]

Generally, they are. I did a class with 15 students, the maximum. They UNANIMOUSLY said that they were. Getting L4 here seems to be like getting the daily bread ;) Bez przesady, ale wiesz!?

How about those ships? ;)

Love / How can I conquer a Polish woman? [84]

Just think, how did Napoleon do it?

Love / Polish Girlfriend gone missing [154]

That seems to be about right. There is a lot of traditional conservatism here, you know, keep it Polish in the long run.

Yeah, they resent that you have all the privileges of a male, in their eyes anyway.

Love / Polish Girlfriend gone missing [154]

Yeah, hedonism runs rife. I've learned that some girls will treat you as a convenience. Sometimes the truth comes out that they feel angry that you are a man. I've actually heard it several times.

Cover your bases and keep your eyes peeled. You have to be cruel to be kind.

It's a sair fecht fir a half loaf

Love / Polish Girlfriend gone missing [154]

You don't know some women here, mysterious disappearances an all. There really isn't much gratitude in a lot of the girls here. It's like, life's harsh so screw you pal. I have a certain type in mind, they are prevalent here but my view really isn't that dim overall. You meet such types everywhere.

Love / Polish Girlfriend gone missing [154]

Greg is probably right here, Cardno. Their reality and our reality can be similar but it's likely different on this one. He knows the Polish voice well does Greg.

More than occasionally, less than often. Well, ok, maybe often.

News / British food exports to Poland up 53% [43]

Sorry, I stand corrected Harry. 1902, as Lir said, was the first to emerge.

However, NZ introduced their version in 1919 with subsequent modifications in the 1930's.

Well, ok, it is a British food. I like it so am proud that it is British.

Food / Large oval shaped Pierogies [7]

The Japanese have sth called gyouza, it's not too dissimilar. They are filled with peas and meat. VERY tasty. You can eat them at izakayas, places to drink beer and enjoy some quality snack-style food. I miss izakayas, many a good time was spent there.

Love / Polish Girlfriend gone missing [154]

Sometimes, patience is a virtue. Give it a bit longer and see if she gets back to you. People have a habit of writing when you least expect it. You have likely signalled your intent on many occasions, so the ball is now in her court. She is likely getting used to the idea of parental rejection, winning trust takes time. Don't give up the ghost, hang fire but keep hope.

Food / Large oval shaped Pierogies [7]

There is a bar here in Gliwice near the beautiful Peter and Paul cathedral. Next to ZUS too :(

It serves huge ones, 7 for 5PLN. It's a meal which will keep you full for a few hours.

IZAL, that's it. With the plus sign on it

Noimmi is right, Heinz are an American company, from Philly I think.

Marmite is from NZ, Vegemite from OZ.

So, a redefinition of British food, please.

UK, Ireland / 33% of Poles in Ireland to return to Poland in 2009 [30]

Boom and bust, kinda sums up Ron Jeremy ;)

So long as people get spooked and overreact to this financial crisis, it won't last long. It has served as an excuse to lay off workers and initiate restructuring programs.

Life / Where can I buy very soft Toilet Paper in Poland? [47]

Yeah, she had that kind of personality. She was brought up with rather strict values that bordered on puritanism. You are screwed if you believe in seditious practices, she will put an end to that, LOL.

Life / Where can I buy very soft Toilet Paper in Poland? [47]

I've often wondered about that myself. Maybe it's because they want to catch any unsuspecting visitors out. I'd describe the first type as urine soakers. You know, excess drips and all that, yeuch!

Or maybe it's a Catholic form of punishment. My Grandma is Catholic so maybe she punishes my Grandad by making him repent for his sins ;)
