UK, Ireland / 800K of Polish immigrants in UK don't pay taxes -what do the poles think [190]

What do you do for a living ?.

I have a good job - I pay a lot of tax to subsidise your education.

Did you go to university ?

Frequently.

I am not paying you to sit on your wee plukey arse all day, tugging off to the Daily Star.
Now put down all those tabloids and do some proper studying. Either that or come and clean my toilet for me.

that you only pay back if you earn over £15k a year

And at a subsidised interest rate...

What is he spending the money on anyway ?
Students already living in Scotland normally pay no tuition fees for full-time courses, they are subsidised by tax payers.

Noimaginations education is costing me a fortune and I have to say I am very dissapointed.

I am not in your country

You are in MY country having a subsidised education which is being paid for by the very workers you are criticising - you should show some gratitude.

sponging scots are scotland problem

Kettle - pot - black.

It is a scottish matter

Well why dont you discuss it as one ?
When you go to work in your daddys pals firm you will be working in Scottish not British law.
Quote some Scottish stats laddie.

Dont even try and turn this argument on me

You are the one who is criticising workers who are paying tax to subsidise you. Everything you have posted confirms that, at this stage in your life, you have taken more out of the system than you have ever put in.

Only morons who have never been to university to could say something as ignorant as this

Wrong.

Only spolit kids like yourself can spout the crap that you do.

toilet cleaning pole pay enough tax

Pays more tax than you do just now.

What gives a subsidy sucker like yourself the right to criticise those that want to work for a living ?

Stop sponging off taxpayers like me and your parents - then you might know what it means to support yourself.

Travel / Kayaking in Poland [4]

Can't really help you but here is a link to a really good forum for open ( canadian ) canoes. There is a thread about the Vistula and some really good discussions.

songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Related: Poland kayaking in April?

Quick question, is it possible to go kayaking next weekend (being that it is April and quite cold) ?
Where would be the best place ?
I have no experience, I just want to have a day or two on the water :)

Somehow we're in for a very warm and long weekend. About 26C in Warsaw and nearby for next 4 days. Kayaking would be perfect in such weather. Try this: masuria-canoeing.com

Love / Soldier born in Poland / living in England. Fiance going away for ages. Complicated... [205]

Army life sucks big time for the families and loved ones left behind.
Your going to stick with him because you love him and its going to hurt sometimes.
Six months, a year - it soon passes.
Life can be tough coming out of the Army.

Do you support the army in Iraq? I will probably get crucified for this one

Wrong thread Sean.

Anybody care to explain the above and maybe give some examples ?

Edit - Came across these but I dont know their English translations.

nonsensopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gra_p%C3%B3%C5%82s%C5%82%C3%B3wek

Would going into a Pizza shop and asking for a "duzo pizda" count as a "Gra półsłówek" ?

Life / Polish Integration with other Nationalities [150]

in order not to appear racist,

You seriously believe they slept with him not to appear racist !
Must try that next time I am out in the pub !

I know of no black girls who have ever dated or would even consider dating a white guy, I have never seen a black girl with a mixed race baby or indeed seen any asian girls with a white guy or a mixed raced baby.

And you live in Manchester ?

Travel / Is train travel recommended for tourists in Poland [14]

In my experience they are better than in UK.

Cheap, comfortable, reclining seats ( hey, you actually get a seat )and a buffet carriage that doesn't need a mortgage.

If you smoke its a bonus, if you dont, be careful where you sit !

Great way to meet people.

Life / Poland's Health Care System - NFZ [11]

efficacy of your system.

Scottish Government are seeking to scrap efficacy targets introduced by London as clinical staff were focussing on meeting their targets rather than a patient focussed service.

Travel / US to Poland - the best place for tickets in July? [10]

I was hearing on teh radio today that some Airways are taking a £200 ( $400 ) surcharge for fuel costs.
Bit of a nasty surprise if you book ahead and then get the bill just before your flight.

UK, Ireland / Do many British carry knives? [60]

Yep, Fiskars are Gerbers, I use them for filleting fish.

The Ontarios I like for their simplicity, they aren't going to fall apart too soon. Both brands use good steel which stays sharp. A sharp knife being a safe knife.

I haven't heard of "Cold Steel". Dont want to rub it in but with the present exchange rate, good US knives are really cheap just now :-)

As for violent situations, the worst thing that can happen when seeing a knife is if the victim gets an "Adrenalin Dump" which makes them vey succeptible to commands from the assailant.

I think that Psychology is a major part in any incident. The people that tend to carry knives already have questions about their own abilities and confidence.

If cornered give them choices and options not to use the knife.
If you have an exit route - run !

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

they are quoting prices of £ 107 per NIGHT without breakfast

The way that Hotels price their rooms is a real mystery - ever tried Las Vegas ? Their rooms vary by the hour !

Always best to phone and try and get the rate down, the advertised rate is always their opening gambit.

UK, Ireland / Do many British carry knives? [60]

Living in a semi rural environment I have a few knives ( prefer Fiskars and Ontario Knife co. ).
I get them over the internet as its difficult to get good fixed blades now due to the nutters that want to be Rambo.
I only use them in the country.

( Scots word for the day - Gralloch )
