Life / How do Polish view others [116]

Yeah...but thats all that is reported from lots of states.......cos individuals are not allowed to express their own opinions...if they do, its jail or harassment........so as its the perception...that no one contradicts the current nutter in power ....then everyone thinks the whole country thinks the same.......!

PS...about 100 of the worlds countries are run by "nutters"...do I have to list them?....lol

News / BRAIN DRAIN ON POLAND [101]

TP, this is after tax....700zl?


Its not so much that...but thats all the market rate is.......if they were in short supply or very valuable to the economy then it would be higher, you have to remember public sector jobs in themselves do not directly contribute to the economy!


Wrong.......its people gain new experiences, skills, which they will eventuially bring back to Poland...never mind the re-patriation of a high proportion of wages......but it will take a little while to really impact.

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]


SW, don't put yourself down....it doesn't suit ya!....:)

Well GB government is known to one of the most "bury its head in the sand" types in the EU..........following the dictats of the USA in all things legal/christian value things too......

Marijuana was legal til the 30s then outlawed by USA ....etc....

Didn't Queen Victoria use a selection of drugs....laudinum ( spelling) being one.....the trouble arises.......when the British masses then want to use..........then its illegal!

History / Want to know more about Poles and Polish soldiers during WWII? [18]

I visited the War museum in Warsaw and was truly belittled by the dreadful time Polish people had during the war.

I can only marvel and pay tribute to a most resourceful, brave and resilient people/country in Europe.

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

To repeat myself.........its the overall activities surrounding drugs/taking of/selling of/rehab etc..........not solely volume....

No idea who controls drug selling...except they are breaking current laws in all EU countries.

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]


Simple marketing/sales facts......more points of sale....more variety, more interest, more likely to use...if wrong drug..more likely to get addicted!!!

As per this quote.........perhaps not absolute volume but the areas mentioned........and yes I get get qualified numbers etc from an expert in the field of 20 years experience!!

You seem to have a more serious interest in this topic SW.....why?

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Nope...GB.....mainland....certain pockets in Dublin, other city areas just as bad though....

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Combination of usage/users and the number of addicts.....now more widespread, easier to find a dealer, cheaper, more acceptable to use most drugs, more "acceptable" to be an addict!

Some usage less criminal, easier to access rehab etc.....

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Well.....look at the drug culture in UK........its worse now by a factor of 10 compared to 20 yrs ago......

What I said was all efforts to date aint worked............who wants a bloody nanny all the time......people make their choices, and then live with consequences...no stupider than the current government!

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Well, broadening it out........wife beating, violence, most deaths on roads down to guys, starting wars....etc..........virtually all guys..........?....guys of a certain age...lack common sense..............so assuming you're now older and more sensible.......:)

People have always drunk to access...why be surprised.........mostly in their younger years...and despite ALL the education...etc...and people who look down on those who do drink.......its getting WORSE...not better.............so?

Food / What are the best Polish sausages? (apart from by bfs) [22]

Lol...where is that arbiter of good taste on this board.............anyone seen her??

Calls out " AAAAAAMMMMAAAAAATTTHHHYYYSSSTTT!!!!!"

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]


So, there are a few namby pambies out there...stuck with that Victorian attitude....laughable...who are these arbiters of how much or who should drink what......complete and utter bukum!

C'es la vie!

Remember Amathyst....there is only one thing worse than being looked over............and thats being over looked!!

Ok, so it doesn't work so well when the guys are drunk...lol...guys are always doing stupid things...why can't girls?......

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

Lol....you're too trusting.......trouble is, as he's a heavy metal band member they have two other groups turning up........lots of noise...booze and delinquency!

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

Fisz...how goes it?

Am leaving our house tonite so our 18yr old can party....good idea?...lol

Having watched a re-run of the asassination of Heyrich in Prague last nite and how the Germans treated the people of that country, makes me angry....

Such contempt they had for all occupied countries and their peoples.

News / Germans file WWII claims against Poland [198]

Yeah.......the Germans can claim off the late A Hitler, after all he started it, and they acquiesed at each and every opportunity to support the most evil regime man has ever known......

Love / Why are polish girls more approachable than north american girls [158]

Not so sure....

Love / Why are polish girls more approachable than north american girls [158]

Well....Maxx.........the Swedish "look" of woman is much sought ofter, why do so many women dye their hair blonde....go for that look, tanned, toned elegant?

How many blondes do you know who've gone black or brunette....or pale....or short?

Plus they don't rely on guys for their self worth.

I don't know any, to approach though!

UK, Ireland / UWAGA - polish women in and around ipswich uk [13]

As per the Yorkshire Ripper..........this was 20 yrs ago......

the lead copper when reflecting on the case said something like "The first few were prostitutes, but we had to sit up and take notice as this victim was innocent".

It seems once again, whilst one guy is murdering a girl every 2/3 days..........hes free to roam.........if it hadda been any other person...a national outcry.........are these girls lesser members of society?

Have things moved on........in UK society?.............not really. The authorities/society itself, are nearly as guilty of committing the crime as the person/persons unknown.

Its pitiful for all concerned.

Good luck and enjoy!

UK, Ireland / BEWARE when coming over UK [363]


You're not serious!!......that fascist like?.......no leeway...no re-education first?

Yes....A...the impact has been at the low end of the wage scale, but its not the fault of migrants who are now entitled to moving and working elsewhere, to improve their own lives.

The blame must lie at the door of a never ending line of immoral employers.....mostly in the private sector...who will humiliate and do down their own people, as well as taking advantage of new immigrants, but this has been going on for decades, not new!
