Life / What would make a good Polish night out? [8]

'Najlepsza Impreza' = The Best party
'Najlepsza Polska Impreza' = The Best Polish Party
'Niezapomniana Polska Noc' = Unforgettable Polish Night

Be sure to provide Polish beer (the cheaper the better - as daffy said


:) , drinks (based on vodka, but not neccesarily), and music - be it techno, disco or trance (ugh, btw) .

Love / let's speak seriously about the Polish girls and Polish boys [19]


It won't be me who shall judge this :)


No way. It's not my style. Definitely.


Brown


On the background of people around me, I'm not that bad, I suppose :)


I only drink because I WANT to, not because I MUST


Can be moody and possesive


Without reciprocation :(


Sometimes I've got an impression that too hard, goddamit


See paragraph No 1.

UK, Ireland / UK Poles eligible to work - do they need additional permit? [9]

I guess a way to avoid double taxation is to 'unregister' in your community - my dad has done it for me, and now I'm 'homeless' in Poland :)

Love / How does Polish men feel towards Asian girls?? [137]

Hate ? Love ? And maybe just fancy or not ?

Life / Polish positive attitude [24]

Heh, I'm rather pessimistic type, but in contacts with others I try to be positive. It benefits for both sides.

Life / Polish denial of reality - is it a national trade? [117]

The estate merchants can't rise their prices limitlessly, for there won't be any market for their 'wares' eventually. Poland is going through the 'boom' of economic emmigration (many people go abroad to earn as much as possible and then return and buy a house or a flat), but it may end some day. Then all those estate agents may end up with loads of properties with no clients for them.

Life / What is your favorite Polish Music Group or Artist? [41]


You mean 'Bajm' ?

Life / Do Polish people sneeze? [38]

I sometimes sneeze, and even dare to snooze :)

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]


Never heard about adjusting of locomotives' wheels on e.g. Polish-Russian border ?

Work / Poles Go to Work Abroad [30]

When I moved to the UK, I started off with a cleaning job, but now I've got something better than that. So by and large waiting for a long time for some professional upgrade has paid off.

Love / Matrix says that POLISH GIRLS= NOTHNIG SPECIAL [279]

visage joli, I'm a bit confused, are you male or female (look at your profile) :(
...and there's no need for what ?

UK, Ireland / Wages - UK and Ireland. [26]

In addition, there's certain sum tax-free = about £5000. All you earn above that is taxed.

Bus driver (working with First) earns £6.30 ph during training, £7.50 for the first year and £9.30 afterwards.

Life / What is your favorite Polish Music Group or Artist? [41]

Love / Do you think that Poles are faithful [74]

Well, in my case, oblivion is the only way to deal with the evil, unhospitable outside world :)

Life / Life in Pre and Post Communist Poland [12]

The main difference between Poland then and now is that during the miserable real-socialism era people had money, but couldn't buy anything because shop shelves were empty (the symbol of downfall of communism are mustard and vinegard as the only 'shelf fillers') and now they can buy whatewer they want, but many can't afford it.

Living during communist era very often was everyday struggle to get the most basic food products, which you had to queue for for a very long time, and often you were buying products not because you wanted them, but just because they were available (like my parents did with, let's say it, not of the prime beauty pink tiles :) Fortunately, they're still laying somewhere in the loft of our house). You couldn't buy a car or flat like you can today - you had to apply for them and wait even for decades, only if you knew or were a relative of 'the right people' (the best choice were party officials - but that could earn you envy of your acquaintances). The phone line was often beyond reach of an ordinary man - I won't forget the times when people were coming to us to use our phone (and since they often phoned their family members abroad, it provided us with a constant stream of German chocolate and coffee :)). To cut the whole story short - I wouldn't import any features of socialist country into modern, capitalistic society.

I wish I knew them :(


I just didn't know what I was getting into :) But it's not so bad at all :)

I'm very timid, Ranj :)

Love / still looking for another polish girl - i wont give up :) [48]

Yeah, I often hang out in the library, but haven't been luckuy enough :(

Love / Do you think that Poles are faithful [74]


Of course, I'm very picky and deserve the Best of the Best :)

But there's mutal feeling with what Frank said, you're priceless :)

I'll add modestly, as we all are :)

Love / Do you think that Poles are faithful [74]


Of something that Frank can't afford, so I can have you only for myself... MYSELF hahaha :)


Sorry Frank, I'm not going to share :)

Love / Do you think that Poles are faithful [74]


Okay ! Twenty from me ! :)

Do you think that Poles are faithful
It depends on the individual, I think. Everybody has their 'little world' they live in, and sometimes faithfulness is present in there, sometimes not. I can speak only for myself... I don't know if I'm faithful, for no woman decided to share her life with me :)

Life / Black people in Poland [357]

Btw, this is a topic about black ppl in Poland, not in Peckham or Brixton, mind you.

Life / Black people in Poland [357]

And da block is in da bit*y town :)

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

What did you expect Germans think about Poland ? Some time ago I read about a survey about Poland made on a group of young people, and one of the questions that stuck in my mind was 'How far is Polish border away from Berlin ?' Most of the answers were 'About 500 km'...

Life / Poland has killed my inner child [105]

Thanks, but I've already found this site.
And as for Edi, I'd rather stay where I am.

Life / Poland has killed my inner child [105]

Well, I fell kind of a similar to Barx. I live in a big city, far from home, tried to make some friends, but the truth is that everybody here have already their pals and a Pole won't fit in there and is rather omitted. I go out sometimes to the gigs, pubs, libraries, botanic gardens etc., but I'm disillusioned about any socialising with people here. Therefore I locked myself inside, and am now focused on myself - egoism is probably the only solution suitable for me in this situation of desertion and loneliness.

Language / affectionate term in Polish [59]

Ok, it depends on who are you talking to, if it's your g/f :
- Kochanie (Darling)
- Mala (Little one)/Duza (Big one)
- Sloneczko/Slonce - (Tiny)Sun
- Misiu/Misiaczku (Small/Tiny teddy bear)
- Kotku (Kitten)

If you're addressing someone else:
- Male: Kolego, stary
- Female: hmmm, nothing comes to my mind... You just use her name, or ty (you)

Love / Help me! I fell in love with a Polish man! [137]


That's good Ranj, I'm a worshipper of individualism, and


generalisation is often unfair.

Love / Help me! I fell in love with a Polish man! [137]


Yes, I was supposing so, and you need to read beetwen lines in my answer (however there is only one line in it) :)
