UK, Ireland / Polish woman shot in London. [57]
It would be nice to wait and see if the two gunmen were English first anyway.That part of London has a number of Yardie and Albanian drug gangs and if this was indeed a drug related shooting there is a reasonable chance they were not English
not crew english people G just the a$$hole who did this.

Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]
Indya,
I worked in PL for an English company before Poland joined the EU. Like you I had a multiple entry work visa. I did not need any form of resident permit even - the only ID I needed was my passport. My compant obtained Pesel and NIP numbers for me and handled all my tax affairs. There was a reciprocal taxation agreemnt between the UK and Poland so I paid no local taxes or insurances. Having spent more than the required number of days in Poland in any one year I was subject to Polish tax and national insurances. At the end of the tax year our accountants settled the reduction in UK taxes and the amount due to the Polish authorities and they paid any differences. So I cannot help you a great deal. You need to talk to your company HR people to see what they are doing for you. I just hope they are legitimate and are not attempting to defraud the Polish authorities.

Visa sounds OK but surely you have to have Pesel and NIP unless you are being taxed under a reciprocal agreement with India?

The leader of Poland's main opposition party, Donald Tusk, is campaigning in the UK and the Irish Republic ahead of a election in Poland in October.
This is one Pole I would rather not have over here. The last thing we need is any more politicians, be they Polish, Punjabi, or Innuit. We've got eough of the useless cretins of our own already.

Quite. To serve one's Queen, in any capacity, is a high honour indeed. Besides this would not be the worst job I've ever had Derek.

The worst job I ever had was with Jayne Mansfield. You know, she was a fantastic bird, you know .....
DEREK:
Yeah, yeah.
CLIVE:
..... big t*ts, huge bum, and everything like that, but I had the terrible job of retrieving lobsters from her bum.
I DONT MIND WIPING HER ASS FOR 20K PER YEAR

I love it. You can get married at 18, drive a car at 6 (or whatever age it really is) .... but you have to be 21 to get a beer?
all but two states require a couple be age 18 in order to marry without parental consent

In Dirty Pretty Things, Audrey Tautou's character Senay Gilik lives in a flat overlooking Ridley Road's street market.
Is Senay dirty and Dalston pretty or is it the other way round?
And also Fassett Square was the inspiration for the BBC Soap EastEnders
Wow - so the Rio is still open?

Let's go further. The current occupants are all of Germanic or Greek descent. So let's find Prince William a nice Polish girl and have a Polish Queen next. Bigos at the next garden party and out with the cucumber sandwiches.
On a more serious note I've heard that you earn every penny working in the Royal Household.
