Love / Moved to Poland to my younger boyfriend, now got sick; he's got a new one [194]

just trying to protect other women-least i can do

If you must.

When you have left him, leave a nice message at nasza klasa

...................................................................... .................

And for anyone else... I know that I shouldn't encourage this sort of thing, but one of our own has a admitted similar action. And it seemed OK then.

edit: Isn't it strange how alcohol affects the thought process.

News / NUDE BRITISH MEN RUNNING AROUND IN WROCLAW [82]

Yes and Yes, do you not have the cringe factor, though?

Not really. At least not after this episode.

It is because it is becoming the "norm" or "usual"l that is annoying.

It's becoming the norm in Wroclaw. This is not the first time folk from the UK have danced half naked in Rynek's fountain.

just plain stupid behavior... it doesn't say much about them...

Of course this is true. But I'd argue that they didn't harm anyone, but themselves.
I think we are all entitled to make fools of ourselves at least once in our lives

Love / Moved to Poland to my younger boyfriend, now got sick; he's got a new one [194]

he should do whats expected from his culture -young girl lots of babies-he already feels he failed first time round.

What rubbish. You live in Gdynia. How many families do you know with more than two kids.

He sees you as someone who pays the rent, provides the food, satisfies his sexual needs... And nothing more... except this: He has a vision of a future commited to an older woman who will soon be drawing her pension.

He is one of the most selfish people that I've read about on this forum.

Get rid of him.

Can they do that on Piccadilly Circus?

I've seen some strange things in Piccadilly Circus. Nude drunks don't come close.

I've no idea what the fine is over there.

why they do that?

drunk, having fun, living life. I don't see it as a big issue. They just got caught on camera and probably had a little fine to pay.

UK, Ireland / British celebs that are bigger in Poland than in Britain [49]

There are a lot of British bands (older acts/has beens) who turn up for various music festivals and New Year's Eve parties.
It's difficult to know if they are bigger here or not.
This is apart from regular tours by modern day greats.

U2 might be bigger here because of New Year's day (is this the song about Lech ?). They will be in Poland next year.

He's become a complete celeb based on being a Brit.

There was a programme on Polish TV a few years ago in which foreign folk were invited to take part. The programme was basically about making fools of people who couldn't speak Polish very well.

Kevin may have started out on that programme. I'm not sure.

News / Another Case Of Intentional HIV Infections in Poland [73]

A Krakow lawyer has accused a 47-year-old man of unsafe direct transmission of the HIV virus. Spokesperson for the Krakow District Attorney, Boguslaw Marcinkowski, is searching for women who could have been infected by Wieslaw S. The spokesperson adds that the suspect contacted many women via Internet, so they are able to find the addresses of many women on his computer.

This time the guy admits guilt. He has been a carrier for 18yrs.

My thought: If this guy infected as many people as Simon Mol who infected possibly 40 women (according to news reports) and these people infected two others... By the time you get to eight generations of contact. That's over ten thousand infected men and women.

Be careful who you sleep with.

Love / Such a mess with my polish boy...:( [30]

But it's so frustrating to stand by and watch him destroy himself..:(

He needs to know once and for all that there is no way back, it is over between him and his ex.

He is hanging on to something that will never be.

Once he has actually got the message and absorbed it... then you can move on together and forget the pills.

(If she were to petition for divorce then it might begin to sink in).

They were dancing in the fountain. Not the first time Brits have done this.

Life / COFFIN PHOTOS FROM POLAND? [11]

How are things in other countries?

I've never seen such photos in the UK. Northern England to be exact.

Only old mortuary photos of murder victims or murderers etc (after a death sentence). But these are only in books and taken, in some cases, from old newspapers.

Life / COFFIN PHOTOS FROM POLAND? [11]

The last time I saw such pictures, of a then recent funeral, was ten years ago.
The pictures were taken in the church, before the coffin was closed for the final time.

An elderly woman on a tram was showing her friend the photos. I was sat behind her.

I imagine that it still goes on.

Life / Biedronka - retail chain in Poland [48]

That has to be an urban legend. I simply cannot believe that to be true.

One way to find out for certain. I'll ask when I'm next in the store.

I'll let you know tomorrow or Monday.

News / Poland awarded at close of EXPO 2008 [5]

In the opinion of the jury Poland’s display at the three month event was exceptional in terms of the quality of exhibits, internal and external design and functionality as well as its clear link with the main theme of the current EXPO – Water and Sustainable Development. "

If that's how good third place was. How good were first and second ?

The only link with water is that it is as dull as dish water.
