Work / Secret Life of a Jubilat employee [3]

Oh maybe I got it wrong about the Jubilat being national. I seem to remember being in one in Warsaw and Posnan. Anyway, yes it does apply to most supermarkets, but I think that Jubilat takes the "supermarket grammy award for outstanding unpleasant services to industry" .

Love / Why english men like polish women ? [126]

Barney I am also half Irish, we all know the Irish values.

The Irish women are strong people, they don't need someone like Margaret to let the rest of the world know who is in control. We can do this for ourselves.

Margaret had no influence upon myself and my beliefs, you cannot change what you have been brought up. Margaret Thatcher changed some things for the good, I will admit this. What she also did was make people believe that they could persue their careers at all costs. This is not acceptable when you have children,, they come first all the time. It is impossible to have it both ways, something has to give,and unfortunately we have to pay for this in Britain now.

You are from the North of England arn't you? I must admit we are a great bunch of people. Quite unique really, I like to think so.


Oh! what a great role model Margaret was, what exactly are her children doing now. Do they have a permanent job! I suspect not, but they do have great "Victorian Values". Margaret Thatcher was about one person only and that was herself and power at the time.

Life / "Londyńczycy" - TVP's production about Polish immigrants in UK. [11]

I would be grateful if someone could explain what the programme contains. It's just that I want to pass it onto my Polish friends, but if its negative and biased, that would not give a fair overall picture of real life here.

Have they chosen a cross-section of polish people to interview? I was also wondering is it all based in London, or do they choose other cities.

A little explanation would be great, and what time does it appear on TVP1 in Poland?

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]

What's wrong with Jeremy Kyle? I thought that he was looked upon as the "Mother Teresa" of the Uk, he seems to be able to solve everything from alcholism to serial sex offender within one week! and his psycholigist Graham well he has moved mountains, what Graham cannot do is not worth mentioning.

You have never lived outside of your own country have you? Anyone can preach such ideals, whilst sitting in a "lazy boy", comfortable in the knowledge that the state will bail you out if it all goes" pear shaped". Get real and get a life outside your comfort zone.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

I think that I may have over generalised the word "stag nighters". I like Lisa have met some wonderful male "stag nighters" in my various escapades in Krakow, they have been true gentlemen, really funny and great to be around. I suppose it is the a.... h... element I am talking about, that spoil it for the rest of the stag people in Krakow. I remember saying to one party of stag nighters "why did you bring that little s... with you", because he was obnoxious and smart and basically thought he was great, and the reply was "he wanted to come with us". It only takes one to tarnish the reputation of the stag nighters.

I apologise for my over generalisation, it was wrong what I should have said "never bring a little s... on a stag night party, it spoils it for the all the rest" that should be be slogan than goes out to every tourist operator in every high street. It's always the same the minority spoil it for the majority.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

Sorry, but by judging by the state of some of these "stag nighters", they can hardly negotiate their way to their hotel let alone contemplate a night of unadulterated passion!!

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

I have just found the forum. I am someone who lived in Krakow, before the "Easy Jet Brigade" arrived, and go back at least twice a year. I totally agree with you the behaviour of the "stag nighters" is disgraceful. I often apologise to my polish friends and explain that this really is not typical British behaviour, and they would not do half the things that they do in Krakow in their own country.

Yes I love to party and love a great time, however the behaviour of the" stag nighters" makes me feel ashamed to be British and I find myself apologising all the time. However, it does not stop there it overspills to Balice airport, and the party starts all over again,in the airport and on the plane by drunken a.... h..... regardless if there are children on board or not the, the F word is used in rapid succession. I have lost count the amount of times I have told these "stag nighters" that bare bottoms and beer are not acceptable on the dance floor!
