Life / I don't understand why my girlfriend wants to live in crime-prone Krakow [37]

t seems to me like your girlfriend does not want to try too hard to do anything. It is good to live close to mommy, walk to work, and if she gets bored with you she can dump you and still will have it good...Not too brave or adventourous. Apart from that it is much easier to learn English then Polish. I would think hard before marrying her.

I have to agree with this. I'm no fan of the US, but you are going to have a much poorer life in Kracow than Florida and the girls sounds like a liability.

Love / Mexican in love with Polish girl. Need advice on what to do. [49]

It is certainly not possible for a non UK resident to marry another non UK resident in the UK. In any event the question is academic as he would not be allowed in the UK. I would have thought his best bet is to go to Poland and marry her in Poland if that makes him a Polish resident/Polish passport holder and I do not know the answer to that. However that almost certainly means he cannot go back to the US.

This seems like the best advice. Coming to the UK is a problem if you want support from the state to live. If your wife can support you it would be much better

UK, Ireland / Foreigners: Please don't buy the English Land! [83]

favourite saying of the poles at that time was 'are you stupid or just ignorant?'... not only did he hit the nail on the head, as many young germans do, but he also asks a question very relevent to you and your people ola...

QFT.

UK, Ireland / London, not my cup of tea [30]

Using the worst summer in 60years as a definition of the UK climate isn't fair. There have been days in this century when temps hit 39C, most of the summers have have 30C+ summers and no rain for months. This year is an extreme exception, Scotland isn't a the best place for warm weather either.

News / How Poles truly feel about their situation in Poland and being in EU? [76]

We are treated unfair.

Its a strange attitude to have. 'We are being exploited for our cheap labour by the EU', yet Poles come to the UK to work and earn far more then they would do working for a Polish employer in Poland. I've got a Polish girl staying with me who is earning TEN times her wages last summer in Poland.

'Money for the roads', who do you think is paying that? I'll tell you; UK, Germany, Holland and a few other countries who like the UK get ABSOLUTLY NOTHING from the EU except the bill. How do you think Germany feels, paying 15 billion Euro's per year to the EU? Raped, definitely. Poland gets billions of euro's from its membership, raid growth and rising wages - I'm not surprised Poles are positive towards the EU because they are not stupid.

Love / I've met a Polish girl, and have feelings for her... [44]

I agree with you Jambo that men have feelings too and that the novelty wears off.. but he is 20 years old and is being offered sex on a plate with a sexy older woman who is leaving the country in a couple of months... I think most young guys would find that perfect... just my opinion of course ;)

Seems like a good idea, but infact it can end up as a painful disaster.

Law / Foreign direct investments in Poland are on the rise [4]

Reason why they open their companies in Poland is very clear: very cheap workers and EU.

And Growth potential. Educated workforce.

Property investment isn't bad. Going from 100% Polish ownership results in Poles getting paid more for any property they own. You obviously don't own property, otherwise you would be crowing about how your property was increasing in value. I don't either, so I know your pain.

Law / Foreign direct investments in Poland are on the rise [4]

A total of 11 billion euros in foreign direct investment (FDI) flowed into Poland last year, and at least as much is expected to arrive this year as the country continues to rank high internationally in terms of investment appeal.

UK, Ireland / 713,000 new foreign workers in UK [44]

We have no way of knowing how many immigrants we have in the UK, but I would guestimate - about a 1/4 of the population of the UK are immigrants.

Its actually less than 10%. If you live in London you have no idea what Britain is like, the population is complety different.

Being part of the EU can have other advantages

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6912965.stm

Six Bulgarian medical workers who were imprisoned in Libya for deliberately infecting children with HIV have arrived in Bulgaria after being freed.

The five nurses and a Palestinian-born doctor, who served eight years of the life sentences they received, had always maintained they were innocent.

I've got it Tivo'ed. I'll watch it.

I suspect a very large number of these NI numbers are students coming over for summer, I've help two get jobs and they say all their friends are doing it.

UK, Ireland / 713,000 new foreign workers in UK [44]

The UK issued National Insurance numbers to 713,000 overseas nationals in the year to April 2007.

That number - which includes those who may be in the UK for a short time - is more than twice the amount issued to non-UK nationals four years earlier.

The figures include self-employed people as well as the employed workers who are counted in other surveys.

The number from new EU counties working in the UK for the first time rose to 321,000 from 277,000 a year earlier.

News / Polish religious pilgrims crashed coming back from a pilgrimage [62]

Yes, how unfortunate that the non-religious are uncomfortable offering such valuable and consoling cliches as "I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers."

Uncomfortable? Why should they be uncomfortable about not doing something that is meaningless?

I not going to offer something that is worthless to the bereaved.

News / Polish religious pilgrims crashed coming back from a pilgrimage [62]

I agree this is such an awful tragedy, and we will never understand why it happened.

It happened because the vehicle was using the road illegally and wasn't equipped to deal with mountains. It didn't have the permit to use the very dangerous descent.

news.independent.co.uk/europe/article2793099.ece

Forty-three pilgrims died in a crash on the same road in 1973, while 29 people died in a crash in 1975. Buses are prohibited from using the five-mile road without a special permit.

``We can't manage to make this descent safe,'' Jean-Jacques Defaite, the mayor of the neighboring town of Laffrey, told LCI television.

Some said the bus' speed could have been a factor in the crash. Grenoble state prosecutor Serge Samuel told France Info that four motorcyclists following the bus said it was traveling about 44 miles per hour before it crashed. Experts would verify the bus' speed, he said.

Real Estate / Don't buy a house in Poland if you are British!!! Corruption!!! [67]

So a guy, who bought a flat here 2 years ago to sell It now for twice as much is making us richer ? Wow.

To explain it another way, tell foreigners not to buy Polish goods at all. Why sell Polish food to distributors who are going to make money on it when they resell it?

BTW, welcome to capitalism.

Love / The Polish girl i love has gone back to Poland . [65]

19 year old barely out of school, just a child - 40 year old adult should know better, hardly a level playing field

Life / Polish hooliganism in sport [141]

Yes it was 50 years ago but it lasted for 50 years!!! We are free country only for 17 years!!!!!! You cannot just deny that wahat happened and live like the west becaouse our economy has no chance to be like the west yet. We were occupated for too long. While they were richer and richer we had to work for Russia for 50 years. Ask yourself how nuch damage it made for our cuontry. It was not possible to rebuild the country that for the last 50 years and before that another 50 years of wars. Look at the whole history not at the recent 5 years and you maybe will understand what Im talking about. Bubba dont be so cocky because history is tricky and meybe you will understand one day polish people, although it is the last thing I would like to see :(.

For this you blame a bankrupt little country, not Russia and the USA who allowed this to happen at Yalta? Give him his due, Churchill tried to keep Poland free at Yalta but the US and Russia didn't care what he said. The only thing that would have freed Poland was a war against Russia and the dangers of that left us in the Cold War for 50 years.

Poland was simply in the wrong place, tough luck, live with it.

Why is thread in the sports section?

I didn't think Homo-erotic posturing by inadequate young men was a sport.?

Life / Polish hooliganism in sport [141]

Looking at the picture, it seems they are more interested in men.

You were the worst hooligans in Germany last year. Yo were fighting on the streets but that is an untold story keeping in secret.

Untold because its not true. I saw none of it when I was there.

UK, Ireland / British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home. [184]

there are more english speakers in china alone than all the english speakers put together outside china. same goes for india.

Ok I'll explain it to you slowly. If there are more english speakers in China than the rest of the world put together how can the same be true in India?

Find a piece of paper and write it down in numbers. Try and add it up, or get a grown up to help.

Idiot. You can't spell, write or add-up, never mind produce a logical argument. I find it unlikely you managed to get to University.
