OH NO IT'S NOT <delivered in my best pantomine voice). It never has been over, just running at a more relaxed pace

Or the fact that the RAF can't afford to fly at weekends and most of the crews get the weekend off. If the Soviets ever find out we could be in trouble.

Yes but two of our boys were in Typhoons that are VERY new.

News / Air-show accident in Poland [81]

Aircraft were Czech aerobatic type. One of the pilots was one of Poland's finest civilian pilots and the other one was a bit of an up and coming star. The display team is an internationally acknowledged one and it sounds like a tragic case of human error, although the investigation will revelea that to be the case or not. As for the cr*p about this being a common event that is simply not true. As for the claim that PL has outdated sub standard Soviet aircaft that is not true. The only front line Soviet type sare MIG29 s and SU22s which are excellent aircraft. Add to that the F16s. All of the current training aircraft (both fast jet and turboprop) are Polish I understand.

UK, Ireland / Why do Poles come to England? [514]


Well said Fisz.

To me this one phrase sums up all of the Polish people that I have ever worked with. All the ones I know are hard working and have a ‘can do’ attitude. To a man or woman they have exhibited a strong desire to learn and better their knowledge and experience. Maybe because of the field I work in I have not met any of the ‘feckless’ Poles (to borrow the uttered and almost immediately retracted phrase used by their Prime Minister when in the UK). Of course there are going to be Poles in this category in the UK, it’s a statistical certainty. but it is so unfair to put down our new Polish co-residents with vitriolic and unfounded statements that apply to a small minority.

Travel / Mazurian Lakes pyramid - Help me win a bet.... [15]

"A desert is defined simply by the amount of rainfall that falls in an area in conjunction with the amount of evaporation. In essence, its any area that receives on average less than 10 inches of rainfall per year, and where the yearly evaporation is more than 10 inches of rain a year."

So I disagree. But what's a small disagreement on definition among friends when I get beer out of it?

I'll try to come up with equivalent littel known facts for the UK so you can get some beer too.

Travel / Mazurian Lakes pyramid - Help me win a bet.... [15]


Ah ha. Good man Krzysztof. I'll keep the desert in hand for the following week. although techncially a desert is defined by the lack of rainfall rather than the nature of the terrain. Still good enough for a beer or two though.

Travel / WhizAir - is it a good airline (Katowice-London)? [16]

Easyjet fly from Krakow to London (Luton & Gatwick I recall)

Ryanair fly from Krakow to London Stansted and I believe they have a flight from Katowice but I think it goes to Bristol though

You can only talk about your own experience ... which has not been good from what I have read. Sorry to hear about it. Others have been much luckier so don't write all Polish girls off, although you may be understandably wary next time you see the next high cheekboned, long legged Polish lovely!

It's all on the home office visas section website. Read this first and then navigate around the site. The key to it is not your status but your GF's in that she has to prove that she is 'settled' in the UK. Good luck - as long as this is genuine of course.

UK, Ireland / Why do Poles come to England? [514]


True in that we have less to complain about. It's just that I was told by my Father that the Poles he fought with in WWII used to complain about everything (in a funny way) including their country. It's an intersting thought - is is experiential or not?
