Love / "All because the lady loves a foreign accent..." [19]


Have they? I know the difference between a South London and a North London but its not really dialect, its just the accent and not really that much so a foreigner would notice the difference.

I dont think you can beat the French accent...dreamy...


Crikey I hope the resident nutter on the board doesnt read this!

Love / Are Polish women too controlling? [106]


Why are you bringing Brits in to this, its not about British girls! FFS why are people always comparing the two!

master: Why dont you dump her, in fact Im not even sure why she is with you, you sound like a right limp cock always whining like a biatch!

Life / What should I name my female child? [44]


No its not, its a shortening of Florence! Ya cock! Had he said "the decorators are in" I might have understood your point!


Tradition!

Love / Are Polish women too controlling? [106]


Its called under the thumb, there's many an English man married to an English woman with an indent between his eyebrows :D So in answer to your question, it depends on the woman the man and how their relationship is!

Life / What should I name my female child? [44]


:( It is a lovely name her son is called Archie, please dont tell me you had a dog by that name ;0)

Life / What should I name my female child? [44]

A friend of mine has a little girl called Tilly, its such a lovely name that will grow with her in to adult life.


Yuk!


But where is Rennie?


Its a sign of respect and a tradition, one which my family keeps up where the males are concerened, first male born named after their father. I was named after my dead grandma, nothing weird, its respectful.

Food / Eggs - how do you like yours? Poached? Unfertilised? [60]

Eggs done in a microwave - WRONG!


Get a deep none stick pan (frying type of pan), par boil the potatoes, slice them and place them in the bottom of the pan mix the peppers and lightly fried onion with the egg and poor over and cook it slow and finish under a low grill, let it cool and there you have my version of a spanish omlette :D yum yum pigs bum :D

Travel / I will be visiting Krakow for 8 days, any African restaurants out there? [5]


Are there many Polish restaurants in your country? I google Polish restaurants in a few African countries and came up with nothing :(

As for night clubs, you could try Prozac - it gets busy and they play hiphop, Im sure it woudl be safe enough.

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]


£10,000 fine for employing illegals, its working a treat, foreign businesses are closing daily because they think they can outsmart the Border Agency :D Or think that the fines will not be imposed. Its mainly Chinese, Pakistans, Indians, iraqis and failed asylum seekers they end up deporting - Note I said "foreign" businesses, thats because its only foreign businesses that employ them.


So FP are you telling me that the all the money transfer places that are in ethnic areas in the UK are there for these ethnics to receive cash from their prosperous homelands?

Or, shock horror, could it be that they are sending the majority of their money back to support extended family in these 3rd world backwaters whilst draining this country by having their 5 kids in school here? I saw a report with Rageh Omaar in it, he called it "distribution of wealth"


Are not welcome


Culturally completely different, whilst all European immigrants have integrated (Italians for one example - been here since the mid 19th centruy in Manchester) and not created ghettos, ethnics have. You lot are destroying England brick by brick and wont be satisfied until you have turned it into the shii---tholes you all left!

You are an immigrant, please dont tell us who we should and shouldnt have in our country, as for building up england, a few curry empires is hardly worth bragging about!

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK/Ireland and English speaking Polish media, do they exist? [8]

But I still dont quite understand why you are bothered by it - People will automatically communicate in their mother tongue - look at any ex pat forum and people are communicating in their own language - its just the way of the world.

You could take the initiative and start a news letter written in English?


The amount of Polish shops should dispel that thought ;0)


Thats the internet, for the most part Poles are accepted to a certain point in Britain and Ireland.

UK, Ireland / Poland vs. UK - how the manners differ [48]


Im English and I have never in my life come across it. Im English, lived here all my life and all my family and (bar a couple) friends are English, no burping, no farting, no eating with ones mouth gaping open, no speaking with food in said mouth and in general good manners all round. I havent noticed Poles doing it either, maybe I just mix with nice Poles and you lot mix with ropey Brits.


Dont invite her in.

UK, Ireland / Poland vs. UK - how the manners differ [48]


Where? We dont have foreigners rates in the UK a price in a shop is the price everyone pays whether they be English or Polish, there's no difference.

I dont even know why Im answering your post its just silly.


Would you like me to do the introductions since I'm last on this thread? ;0)

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK/Ireland and English speaking Polish media, do they exist? [8]

There are plenty of Polish news papers / magazines ect in the UK so there is a voice, there are other internet forums that are for Polish people (Polish only language), so I still dont know what more you want?

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK/Ireland and English speaking Polish media, do they exist? [8]

What do you want them to say?

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK/Ireland and English speaking Polish media, do they exist? [8]

Maybe Polish people dont really care, as already stated on this forum:


If thats the voice, then I really hope that you lot keep quiet, there wont be many "mutual" bonds created if your average Brit listened to the above.

UK, Ireland / Why are we paying child benefit in Poland? [63]


Surely you must have the statistics to back this claim up? Also if they are in receipt of benefits in the UK and in Germany they are theiving scum - note the fact I dont say how generous Germany is?


generous gift you say...Oh thats us, give give give give :D Of course, its always someone elses fault...This is the signature tune of a Pole :D

Feedback / LIKE / DISLIKE button - A suggestion to Admin and Moderators [29]


I wasnt in favour until I saw this as a possible option :D


lol - or a thumbs down icon?

Life / Do Poles Lack in Social Skills and Etiquette? [74]

We've just had two secondees from our Warsaw office...they were out every night of the week, pair of little social animals they were :D They were also out every Friday after work with colleagues, which aparently they miss now they're back in Poland because everyone goes home on the dot, no cheeky Friday beers :(

I think its your b/f - If after one year the tight wad hasnt taken you for dinner, you should really consider if this is what you want for the rest of your life?

UK, Ireland / Why are we paying child benefit in Poland? [63]


You tell me how many English kids get payments from Germany whilst they are living and going to school in England? The kind of people who are going to work in Germany are really not going to waste their time claiming benefits in a foreign country.

UK, Ireland / Why are we paying child benefit in Poland? [63]


Isn't as easy to get as one would imagine, they evidntly didnt feel that you were incapacitated enough - surely going back to live with your parents would have been a wise choice, as would any English person who was so ill that they couldnt finish off their studies.

Also why do you feel that the system should pay you something when you havent paid in? The majority of those claiming for kids back home are blokes that are working over here and paying tax and NI which is more (by the sounds of things) than you did.


If what you say is true then we are in big trouble!


Only about those that screw the system, if someone contributes more than they take out, then all is good.


How many schools offer this?

As a side note, people are concerned about the figures of a few million on benefits for Poles who work here pay tax, when health tourism from people from outside of the EU costs us 100s of millions a year in antiviral treatments for HIV and AIDS in fact the amount spent last year could have built 3 hospitals!

Love / Polish girls are pretty and high on morality. [65]


Not native maybe, but you have certainly taken some Americanisms on board :D English women are a not spoilt in any way shape or form, but we do still have some morals and standards, whatever the view of the rest of the world, I should I know, Im English and all of my friends are English.


Ive only visited 3 times and I can safely say I didnt in any way shape or form come away thinking it was anyting but a European country and not some backwater 3rd world country.

Love / Polish girls are pretty and high on morality. [65]



Show me where you wrote "morality"


Please dont tell me that some English girl has invited you to the UK, because I dont believe it for one minute, the only contact Turks have is over skype and most English girls will block you as soon as they know you are Turkish!

Life / Problems for Dual Earner Families in Poland (and rest of EU) [19]

I believe its okay for both parties to work. Why? Because in this day and age its not possible financially for a family to surive on one wage. I do however think its better for the children to be minded whilst the parents at work by a family member, i.e. grandma, with at least one day in playgroup with other children in order for them to learn to interact with other kids.

People spend half their time complaining about single mothers being at home with their kids but them if a single mother goes out to work they are demonised for doing so - I know this is a different senario but its still about leaving kids with other people.

As for being a "housewife" - house work is quite easy these days, we no longer live in a Victorian age where it take 3 days to do the washing and 4 days to clean the house and do the cooking on a range, we can have it all - without much of a compromise, because we simply have more time - its just how people chose to spend that time.


I completely get where you are coming from, but (there's always a but :D) ) We know its not always possible and as I have stated, grandma or grandpa is always a good option, who better to teach your child than the person who shaped who you are today?

Love / Polish girls are pretty and high on morality. [65]


That gave me a right laugh...English women and American women are quite able to look after themselves and dont act like "princesses" Maybe you mean "strong" and not "spoilt" ?


This is very true, but you would think that every woman in Poland and every Polish women outside of Poland is as pure as the driven snow with the virtues of Mother Teresa the way some people go on, when in realisty, its quite the oposite.


Thats another story! One that gets overlooked, conveniently!

By the way I am aware that there must be plenty of really decent Polish females in the UK Jysty being one of them...

Love / Polish girls are pretty and high on morality. [65]


Of course because $haggin arabs for a fake designer bags or sleeping with pakis because they drive a BMW is really classy :D


Well, Polish girls are quick learners, I'll give you that, we've had years of slutting about and we cant even compare to you lot now ;0)

You know what Slonce, I would have stuck up for Polish girls when the guys started to have digs about them but you my dear are a classic Polish girl, inferior and have to abuse another countries females to deflect your own short cummings...Polish girls have a rotten rep in the UK, I have to say mostly amongst your own men.

To the OP, I dont think you'll have much trouble getting a Polka, just flash a bit of cash and tell her your car back home in Pakistan is a BMW and you're only driving a Datsun Cherry here because its good on the expensive petrol in the UK!

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]


Yawn! You may note that the British companys by law are now obliged to advertise jobs in Britain for 4 weeks, so as lazy as you keep saying the English are, if given the opportunity, they might just take the jobs.

As a side note, who do you think picked our tatties before the immigrants came? We have always been and always will be capable of doing our own dirty work!


Exactly!


What exactly did they get when they were in their own countries? so £40 per week plus all the other assistance they receive is heaven! If you really believe all they receive is £40 per week, then you are living in cloud cuckoo land!


Most do, most are employed illegally, because MOST are in fact liars and not asylum seekers, they are in fact economic migrants.


Did any Polish person take you up on your very very kind offer? Since Polish people are flocking to England because there are no jobs in Poland :D

Love / Polish girls are pretty and high on morality. [65]



Give me a break! Over half the population of Brum is from Pakistan! Also you're on a studen visa so you must go to school with 100s of them!


Passport?


PMSL (you are a star)

UK, Ireland / Where, in the UK, is the most Polish? [18]


In general Delph, the kind of Poles that come to the UK do so to earn money (not all), they generally stick to their own Polish friends (not all), therefore they do not integrate in the full sense of the word, besides, there are areas in Manchester that are 'very' Polish, this isnt a problem, I couldnt care less. As for them not forming Polish communities, that was a joke right? There's the Polish Circle club on Cheetham Hill Road which has been there since Adam was a lad, why do you think that is? Possibly because there was a "Polish" community? There's also a Polish church in South Manchester (again been there since Adam was a lad), why do you think that is? Possibly a Polish community?

There's nothing wrong with it, they dont ghettoise areas, they simply tend to migrate to areas where they are in numbers.

UK, Ireland / Where, in the UK, is the most Polish? [18]


Some do, most dont. Im not being offensive when I say that, its the truth, I dont think they're here to make friends, its about earning some cash (for most).


lol...


Weirdo!


Seconded!

Life / THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!! [30]


You heard wrong. There are three types of ex pats in Spain:

1. old farts went for the climate, most have no intention of learning the language and are happy to play bridge with all the other ex pats.

2. 20 somethings who have gone out there to experience living abroad and most speak the language.

3. Families with kids in Spanish school, they speak Spanish and Spain is their home.

Where my mate has her apartment its 70% Spanish and 30% Brits all but one of the bars is Spanish run and Spanish food is plentyful.


Thats a bit rich coming off a paddy! But Im glad you're happy and you are enjoying your new home :D
