News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

You said that it would happen for sure that Poland would become more multicultural but not without a fight. I mean, if the situation noticably started spiralling out of control like in parts of the UK, then a response would be put in place.

Oh right, you know what Seanus, Im not against controlled immigration, but the situation in the UK has gone beyond that, along with the situation in several other European countries, people in Poland have an advantage in that they can put in place restrictions before a problem arises.

UK, Ireland / Here comes the Anti-Immigration marches.... [114]

The strange thing is i remember ShellyS saying somewhere that she also has a mixture of french english Jew and god knows what other blood. So she herself is a foreigner in my eyes. Funny how its usually the mogrels themselves who cant accept others just like themselves......

Jew isn't a nationality - it's a religion

The god knows whatever else is Irish - a few generations back - Im a fraction of Irish and a fraction of French and the majority of my family names have Anglo Saxon roots - Oh and Im a Roman catholic so we can rule out me being a Jewess - Most people in the UK do have a certain amount of other European blood, you do remember to the Normans don't you? Before that the Saxons and before that the Romans? Europeans I don't have a problem with.

SS wont reply today as its Saturday and she will not be at work. She is probably the worst racist on here. Mainly towards the Paki's.

You're damn right, I have better things to do on a Saturday night than respond to whiny biatches - some of us like to entertain friends or spend time with family.

and yeh shes got a foul mouth on her alright. It amuses me that she pretends to be a middle class lady with some cash. I'd bet plenty that shes a low class unhappy women forced to work 8-6 mon - fri at a crappy desk job just to make ends meet.

Absolutely, I can sware like a navey, 12 months working as a consultant at Network rail saw to that! ....I don't recall saying what class I come from, you obviously assumed this all by yourself. Again regarding my life, just more assumptions on your behalf.

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

Hmmm....Learn to cook? Multiculturalsim isn't all it's cracked up to be, look at places like the UK, but then again you don't live here so it doesn't affect you. Personally I don't like it when some big African approaches me with his hand out asking to borrow my phone as he doesn't have credit on his!

I also don't like is when some African pervert convicted child molester get compo because he says he was unfairly locked up before being deported! Harry the list is endless, if Poland do allow people from outside of the EU to settle or work then it must be professionals only, those that can contribute in a positive way. Not a free for all like the UK.

Love / Love my polish girlfriend alot but under pressure from family [166]

It is not my intention to make Poland look bad. When I visit Poland, I want to see and talk to Poles. I want eat Polish food. I do not want to see American fast food restaurants. I want a change of atmosphere. I want to feel like I am back home. I do not want to feel like I am visiting an another western city.

Didnt you know it's offensive to minorities if you want to keep your own countries traditions and food!! ;)

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

How? I didn't say all Polish women were fat with tashes. As for the men, I'm being honest, I've yet to see an attractive Polish bloke in the UK, in Poland there was an abundance, saying that you didn't really see any over the age of 25 out and about so they were all quite "fresh"... Oh and if Mr Magic is reading this, *you don't count you left the UK so therefore fall in the category of "in Poland"*

Love / About Personal Problems (English / Polish relationships) [32]

That's a lie.

Not really - most the cheating threads posted where one is married, it is usually a Polish "man" who has a wife back home, who whoops! forgot to tell the English or Irish girl that he has a wife and 2.5 in Poland. The Polish girls that cheat on the English guys, don't appear to be married they just cheat.

UK, Ireland / Polish female bringing a chinese husband to the UK -advice needed :) [19]

i think there's little chance of that happening...would they part families to do that? i think it's one of the most important reasons to be given a visa...

They can do what they like, a visa is granted - it is not a given that he will get one - refusals happen all the time and judging by your attitude, I really do hope that they refuse you... ;)

if i have no choice, why not?

Why should the UK pay because you can't aford to support yourself, you chose to come here..No?

that's strange, last time i was in the uk i was told i can apply for benefits until i get a job...and before that, i've only worked as an au pair and haven't been registered anywhere, no insurance or tax payments...well maybe i wouldn't still get it.

Im not aware of what benefits are on offer in the UK having worked all my life, but I'm sure as someone just walking in to the UK without having paid a penny, you wouldn't get a penny - you are a member of the EU and rules are rules, oh and because you are a "new member state" the rules are quite different.

must be a good reason for that :P

There doesn't have to be a reason, you are assessed and then they take a decision.

not really :) i mean, he didn't study at the uni or anything...just finished high school, then army...
but we may still look online for something...

Then he has no chance of finding work, unless he works in some restaurant.

tuition fees for overseas students would kill us :( with me it's a different story, i'm the eu citizen.

You still have fees, uni education is not free in the UK.

Suggest you read this article - You might want to re-think coming to the UK :)

it would be better if west european men work with their own bad self confifence, than to talk shit about other man in the world...

I dont think that West European men have bad confidence, I think some "men" have bad confidence regardless of where in the world they are from.

Sorry for repeating my mind....but just couldnt help it! lol!

I complete understand where you are coming from. :)

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

I actually found myself looking at English women from a fresh perspective.

You were doing excellent up to this point!

And then..............

After years of trim healthy looking young maids, one gets the urge for a dumpy, noisy blokey sort of gal who doesn't know how to dress properly? After years of prickly self-conscious Polish women obsessed with their highlights, it's good to relax with someone who lets their armpit hair grow a bit and talks about cars with you.

tut tut..Trust me there are plenty of prickly self-obsessed English girls...

If I had the choice, I'd have a Pole in the kitchen, an English in the pub and maybe an Italian in the bedroom but most legal systems won't allow it.

You slightly redemed yourself with the above though ;) I would be interested to know if the cooking skills of young Polish girls will dwindle over the next few years due to a life style change....

UK, Ireland / Polish female bringing a chinese husband to the UK -advice needed :) [19]

Foxtrot, maybe you are not reading the newspapers, but there are around 3,000 people per day being made redundant in the UK. He has little or no chance at present of getting a job, unless he has some very very "special" skill which is still in demand in the UK

visabureau.com/uk/news/21-01-2009/uk-to-restrict-advertising-jobs-overseas.aspx

Looks like he is only allowed a visa for 6 months initially under the rules as he is not living here already. Like I have said, they don't have to issue a visa.

EEA Family Permit Requirements (for non-EU citizens outside the UK)
The EU citizen intends to exercise their Treaty rights in the UK (employment, self-employment, study, self-sufficient, etc)
The couple must be legally married to each other / in a civil partnership with each other
They must have met each other
They must intend to live together
The couple must be travelling to the UK together or the EU citizen should already be in the UK

Conditions of the Permit
An EEA Family Permit would in this instance would usually be issued for 6 months and allows unrestricted employment in the UK for the duration. In the course of those 6 months it is expected the EU citizen applies for a Residence Permit (if not already held) and their spouse/partner applies at the same time for a Five Year Family Permit.

UK, Ireland / Polish female bringing a chinese husband to the UK -advice needed :) [19]

but the thing is, as far as i know i would qualify for financial assistance in case i can't find a job -jobseekers allowance in this case-

Wrong, this is a contribution based payment.

i know many Polish people claim benefits in the UK, on the same rights as the indigenous citizens do :)

If they have spent time in the UK and paid tax and insurance then of course they have the same rights.

or maybe you mean students don't qualify for that,

Exactly.

not that i plan to become a parasite sucking the british society, usually the university itself has services helping its students finding a suitable part-time job.

I wasn't suggesting that at all, I was just letting you know about the reality at the moment in the UK, things have drastically changed over the past 6 months :( As I stated, 2 million plus out of work and those "part-time" jobs are few and far between.

am keen on giving it a go as Polish unis are not as good as the british ones..

Dont be so sure about that, ive heard good things about Poilsh unis, I know a few people that have left the UK to finish off their studies back in Poland.

the system of teaching is entirely different, cramming lots of pages only to forget most after the exam. in england you focus more on the practical side of things, like you have lots of workshops, you do your own research, you are encouraged to develop your own opinion on various topics and try to support it :) totally different formula.

You know the reality of both, so I suppose you can see the benefits for your particular course.

as for my husband, well...i realize it may be a bit tough to find him some decent job, but i still think it'd be easier in the UK than in poland as he knows english and no Polish at all :) well he can jump with a parachute but i doubt that would turn into any financial advantage :)

It might be tough for him to get any kind of a job, I don't want to be negative here, but remember that we are starting to go through the worst recession we have been through for years :( And he, like you will not be eligable for any kind of financial assistance, if he cannot find work and been in continuous employment for over 12 months.

Life / When in Poland, should I be British or Scottish? [104]

He's just jealous nobody really cares about the Norweigan!

Kambilia

I dont want to put you off, but you stated that you will have to work while you study, at present there are over 2million unemployed so the chances of finding part-time work is going to be tough, You will not qualify for any kind of financial assistance and niether will your husband, chances of your husband finding work, unless is has some kind of "special" skill is quite unlikely. It might be easier and less stressful to study in Poland, at least you will have family support and better chances of finding work while you study. Good luck.

News / Reuters News Taints Poland by Association of Prostitution Ring Leader [15]

Yes, true, however, Israel and only Israel has a notorious reputation world wide for prostitution rings and child trafficking.

Really, Ive never heard that before?

I fail to see how his religion is of any importance at all, but then I'm not a bigot like you Ela.

True!

Really?

I suppose that made two of us that had never heard this before...

Study / WHICH IS THE BEST CITY TO LIVE IN FOR A FOREIGN STUDENT in POLAND? [7]

The chances of getting a job without speaking Polish are pretty much non-existent - uless you teach English, I see from your profile that you are from India so I would pretty much cancel teaching English out as I would imagine Polish people would rather be tought by a native speaker.

As for Wraclaw there are lots of foreign students, there are plenty of threads on this site that will tell you what life is like.

Just go in any of the clubs, as long you don't look or dress like some old fart you should be fine :) Go in Prozac, for pure entertainment value, it's hilarious watching the Polish kids trying to dance to hip hop :)

Life / Protestant Churches in Tricity?? [9]

If that is too difficult, maybe somebody could suggest a catholic church/priest that might agree to a wedding blessing (they will already have been legally married in Ireland).

Not a problem in a Catholic church - they have always done it in the UK, don't see why Poland should be any different, Catholic church is Catholic church, right?

A few banknotes should solve the problem...

Such a cynic Doggie! But it's the same UK these days!
