Life / What to wear for winter in Poland [51]
Especially in coastal areas where I lived. You get the wind chill coming in from a frozen sea area.

Winters in Poland CAN BE harsher than in the British Isles but not necessarily. With the exception of 2005, I have experienced many colder winters back home.

Work / Little Help finding out right to leave 1 yr contract. [15]
Sometimes it is stipulated in a contract that you can't leave. Well, you can, but you'd face a hefty fine. Trust me, I signed this provision.
I think I know the Callan school in Rybnik. I live quite near you and have fairly extensive experience of contracts, I hope I can help you.
Eh, good native speakers really bring a new dimension to teaching. Sometimes Polish teachers can't quite express sth as clearly or make careless mistakes.

Yeah, a bit calmer these days. I got my cash after some wrangling so that helps. More than a few straggles along the way but hey...
Weren't you home,Dave?

Marmite, yummy. Bovril is good too. Vegemite is also addictive.

You are the expert, hun. I can come near you in some ways, especially when it's non-grammatical. However, I trust your judgement more than mine.

Sushi, now there's a plan. I sometimes have it for breakfast thanks to my talented young fiancee. With various fillings. Not like I had in Japan in terms of variety but comparable taste-wise. It's so expensive in Europe.
Go with the flow pgtx, that's the way. I like soups for breakfast when the mood takes it. Barszcz, yummy

Why not? Flaki would make a reasonable breakfast. I love the soft texture of the meat and the fiery broth which it lies in. Flaki is underrated. Maybe it's cuz I like haggis too. Haggis is very tasty.
Breakfast tomorrow? Hmm, hard-boiled eggs and tomatoes on Polish bread, with cheese slices. Polish bread would be so much better if it actually lasted more than a day. It's so tasty fresh.

My schools were very clear in asking me to furnish my degrees, together with my CELTA. However, my first school here saw both as merely a bonus. Wow, makes me really feel that I invested my time for a worthy cause.
You just have to prove your worthiness and reliability to a school. Be proactive, get in their faces.

Good riddance then!! I'm not one of those people who believe that we shouldn't speak ill of the dead, although I tend not to do it as a matter of course.

How come you never pursue a Polish lassie, Osioł? There are some real crackers out there. I'm not shallow, I don't mean facially, I mean as companions and able-bodied individuals.

Work / Teaching English in Poland, no degree just certificate [41]
There are quite a few here without a degree but some insist on it. You just have to know where to look.
A degree education helps but you can get by without it if you are cluey and keep yourself 'in the know'. For me, personally, some of the ideas which I studied have come in handy but they shouldn't be seen as a prerequisite to teaching. It helped my thinking more than anything else.
Like any job, you have to show yourself to be the best candidate, the top dog.

Greg is like a Romulan vessel. He decloaks and fires off a lame comment or two, then disappears back into a cloaked state, not to be seen for a while.
I'll have to start calling him Tomalok. It even looks Polish.
Scary closets? You should report to Polish TAPS and go onto Polish Ghost Hunters, LOL

I'd just stick my neck out by saying that the level of mutual respect isn't as high as you may surmise. Still, I don't wanna go round in circles with this. The Poles would respect them for going through a hard struggle in the same way as they respect Scots for our toil and graft to see us through trying times.

The two are not mutually exclusive, no.
If the support level was so high, this should have been reflected in a governmental rejection of the Kosovo settlement. It was sold down the river.
Many just don't care enough tho
