Life / Poles like Czech and French... Their attitude toward another nations [21]

No...that they "like" those countires/peoples with certain attributes/ qualites......after all how many polish people would have travelled to France to say they like the French or is just an historical thing...?

Secondly.....how many Polish people know any Muslims to hate them......if you don't know anyone of that faith, how can you hate them....

Ela/Bubb your combined luck was in..........BUT you may still have to shop around...ok?

The best to transfer 100000 Euros, was Currencies direct or Moneycorp ( plus the charge 15 pounds to do the transfer but will cover the cost at the other end...important to check that too on such a large amount!!!!)......they cost 67,783 pounds and the worst was Natwest...at 70,822, pounds a difference of 3,039 pounds....!!.....YES £3039!!!!.............for what!!!????

Life / Why do Poles drink so much? [161]

Gee didn't the Polish people have it easy.........in bl***dy Ireland we weren't even allowed to shag....hence the preponderance of alcoholics in our nation!!

History / Poland has paid £68 Million for helping UK in WW2 [168]

No-one is saying the weren't.....to a degree and in the times that they were....but perhaps seek history sources from France/Poland/Germany and Russia to arrive at some understanding .......whose do you believe..........then arrive at ones own conclusion....

History / Poland has paid £68 Million for helping UK in WW2 [168]

So the tens of thousands of Irish men who voluntered to fight in WWII...did so for their own selfish ends?...indeed so did many other groups...because it was the right thing to do!!!!!

I have full respect for them as patriots fighting for independence of their countries. But their priorities are their own countries

Maybe I was not clear iwona...these were Irishmen who fought in the British army, as they had been for generations...partly because there was no other "work" and partly because they had a yearning for "causes"...doing the right thing.

Sure some may have had other motives...but they joined individually....not a due to government pressure etc...

Life / Do Polish people respect other cultures? [96]

English will make faces, moan spit....zero manners.

The same if someone invites you for dinner at home they always highlight how much they have spent on it ...just to make you feel uncomfortable.

Iwona...just what sort of circles are you mixing in.........chavs "R" us...perhaps......lol

Maybe I am out of touch with UK living....lol

Come on, all you English on the board...defend yourselves against this serious allegation.....!!

Iwona...there was still a huge price to pay....so you would have preferred not to have become independent?

History / Poland has paid £68 Million for helping UK in WW2 [168]

It was actually 40 Billion - we only just paid it off last month!

Way...as you can see it was as below...plus another £1.2 billion from canada!

"In 1945 Britain borrowed $4.34bn from the US consisting of a $3.75bn line of credit and a "lend-lease" loan facility of $586m. The following year the government agreed a $1.185bn line of credit loan from Canada."

The USA war effort was huge, relative to the overall Western effort.....but paltry compared to the Russian........the numbers killed back that up..........80% of all German war casualties killed by the Russians.....!

Aw...so why read it....you aint contributing.....are you........?

I don't mind were the EE people go....I can live virtually anywhere....so don't worry on my behalf...:)

All Russia wants from Belarus is to pay half (!) the price Poland and other EU countries pay, Belarus wants 1/4 like It used to be.

Yes...but Belarus is quite poor....there half is very very expensive compared to the older EU states.

News / Russian bear flexes his energy muscles - threat to Poland? [37]

Yes...am very wary of Russia.....it has its own set of unique values....its the only country in the world which would willingly sacrifice ALL its people to meet its own political ends......

The EE must be on its guard...............tough times could lie ahead.

News / Russian bear flexes his energy muscles - threat to Poland? [37]

I see Russia has stopped the gas supply throught Belarus which supplies other western nations as well as Poland.

How big a threat to the stability of the EE countries is this action? He has already humiliated the Ukraine...who is next?

News / English vs. Polish hostility [323]

i realy do think that this statment is a load of rubbish. i am english and i remember a time when the unemployed used complain and say it was the asian comunities that where taking the jobs.
i think it is about time that those english people who are unemployed and are complaing about this should get off the bums and do try working as hard as the polish and asian at finding work.

Get real............so who are you blaming for 18% u/e in Poland.........the Ukrainians...?...laughable.........
