News / iPhone to be Released Officially in Poland? [21]

Apple and battery technology - a strained relationship. I always wait for the second release of Apple products. Maybe I've been unlucky but hey, thrice bitten many time shy

UK, Ireland / Polish worker's excuse and a vacuum cleaner (UK) [79]

particularly in Eastbourne

Which given that the average age of the population in Eastbourne is 107 means there are Polish senile delinquents over here, hardened criminals who have honed their skills by pushing in queues and sticking the ends of their umbrellas in my foot.

UK, Ireland / Negative attitude towards Polish immigration in UK becoming stronger [90]

Polish skilled workers are at your door !!!

Thank goodness.... I thought it was trick or treaters!!

Being serious for a moment I agree 100% with TripTic. It's about time people recognised that nobody has a divine right to work or success from being born in a particular country. The real villains here are a sucession of UK governments over 30 years who have overseen the decline of our education system for all but a privileged few to the extent that many of our children are not qualified to compete with those from other countries.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

But I'm very frightened of what would happen if I were to hit an Elk while driving one

Good point. We don't have too many large animals to worry about over here.

Life / What do Poles do for fun? [49]

Melme - there are about 20 existing threads on polish music here. Just search for them and have a trawl. I am sure you will find some good (and recent) recommendations there.

Well, the older women like this.

Good point. But I'm older than you so I get to kiss all the young lovelies hands LOL. Coming from me it's seen as cute and old fashioned.

UK, Ireland / The Daily Mail's Swans Are Back [29]

who the hell would eat a swan ?

Officially only the reigning monarch is allowed to kill and eat swans in the UK. Swan was at one time eaten at formal dinners at certain Oxford and Cambridge University colleges. I think that was abandoned a long time ago. These days they just order in some pizza.

PS - just ignore the Daily Mail. Nobody takes it seriously

News / Zabiega, Zientarski and a Ferrari [12]

(how much can these guys earn if they're driving round Warsaw in a f###ing Ferrari?),

The driver was an automotive journalist and the car was not his I believe - just on loan for a road test probably.

UK, Ireland / Polak moving to north-west England [56]

I was mistaken for a French once in Worcester, speaking Polish to a friend..

I was once mistaken for a foreigner in Malvern when speaking English... not surprised they thought you were French...

Love / Polish Girlfriend obsessive and not trusting [59]

older women are ugly as hell and really ******.

Funny that, my wife of 25 years still has just about the sexiest bum on planet Earth. Perhaps I just got lucky or maybe living in Engalnd has preserved her in some sort of way. LOL

UK, Ireland / Many British have inferiority complex [131]

Why are Brits so attracted to animals?

Because animals never tell you that you can't go down the pub.

Was there any famous British composer (except for Haydn who doesn't count as British)?

Elgar?

Will British sportsmen ever win an important competiton?

Probably not

UK, Ireland / What's So Great About The UK? [416]

The greatest thing about the UK is the preponderance of well educated, witty, tolerant and devishly handsome males who have that typical British nmodesty and self efacement about them. Obviously I am one of them.
