We are not.

Yes, if you are outside make sure that you are wearing your running shoes.

It's already written about on the forum. But yes, you are going to get wet.

It should stop at midday.

Life / Culture & Women [80]

Could it not be that the alcohol was taken into consideration and the girl and boyfriend were just acting in an adult fashion. Why fight when you don't have to.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


Now I understand your point. And agree.

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


You've been reading too many books. I have no wish to kill anyone. And I couldn't care less if those twats got shot dead. It's people like them who ruin the reputation of others, which leads to more anger from millitants and the deaths of other servicemen.

When I was in the military I never found the need to humiliate people. And are we to suppose that that dog was just wandering around in the mountains ? It obviously belonged to someone.

Work / I'm moving to poland; I got sick of the London lifestyle. Find work? [27]

Why don't you sell your car in the UK and buy a left hand drive over there. It might be cheaper and you can use it when you get here.

Interesting video. Would I care if any one of those guys took a bullet in the head ? No.

No idea.


We have no need for experienced toilet cleaners.


A lot better for those who stayed.

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK turn to fast food [29]


My kids can be the same when I do the cooking.

Seriously. Batter on fish is not so unusual in Poland. This family must have been on a voyage of discovery though. I'd love to have seen it.

UK, Ireland / Poles in UK turn to fast food [29]


You mean they left the best part. Shocking !!!

In my younger day we would specifically ask for scraps [Those bits of batter that came off the fish at the frying stage].

Language / Polglish - mixture of Polish and English [34]


I think it's a crazy idea that might work.

I would limit each sentence to having a one word Polish equivalent, which can be placed anywhere in the text. Otherwise those that know nowt will have a bit of a problem.

Love / what is reasonable - he does not want me to go back to poland [55]


You already have my opinion in a previous thread. Now, on this thread the opinion seems to follow what I said earlier. You are torturing yourself thinking about this guy.

Finish it.

He might have finished his previous relationship three years ago, but if he is a good man he will still be seeing the child. And it follows that he is probably still at least talking to his ex. He has a legal obligation to the child, which he can't escape.

It wouldn't surprise me if he were already/still married.

Life / Goth scene in Poland [30]


There might be people listening to the music, but you don't see [real] Goths on the streets.

Genealogy / Help with DETNERSKI surname please [3]


There is someone from Lodz at Ancestry.com with the same name. Go check it out.


It is, but with a small change it could be Russian. So I'm told.

Life / How Long for a Pole to get a passport [10]


No. She should be able to it in her own city. The same place she got her ID.

The visa will involve a trip to Warsaw or wherever.

Life / How Long for a Pole to get a passport [10]


Passport = about one month.

Visa = not sure, but I think you can also sort it out in Krakow. Phone the embassy to check.

Funny, and possibly true.

News / iPhone to be Released Officially in Poland? [21]


I love this new technology and will probably go for a top end phone in the next couple of years. Also, Nokia seem to be going in a slightly different direction with their phones.

In the past I might have believed that iPhone, iPod were the best, but not now.

I like it too, but unfortunately for me it belongs to my wife.

I've just aquired a Sagem 220x A phone with few extras, but it looks good. LOL

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]


This is the good thing about Germany. At the railway stations there is always a smoking area at the end of the platform. There is the same at Poznan main station, Poland.

I'm not familiar with airports.

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]

The no smoking rule came in January 1st. There is/was a period of grace for a few months.

Seems a bit strong. But Arise_St_George did ask for it.

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]


When I was at a particular place in Berlin recently there was what can be best described as a garden shed for smokers. This shed was quite big, had seating and was tastefully decorated with cigarette packets from around the world.

It came in useful during hurricane Emma, last weekend.

News / iPhone to be Released Officially in Poland? [21]

I don't think the general population will be enticed by Apple. There are many products on the market that look cool. And that for many people is what it's all about. The iPod is a desired item, but I don't know many people who own one.

The next generation of computers seems to be over sized laptops with 20 inch screens. That's what I'll have by the end of the year. And it won't be Apple.

Apple seem to have an image of being a club of geeks and aficianados. When they learn to shed this image their market share will improve.

They also have a problem with companies like LG, here in Wroclaw, who are churning out cheap computers by the truck load.

Too late. We already have Prada in this house.

News / Eurovision Song Contest: Isis Gee to represent Poland [156]

I really don't know. I didn't even know the preliminary rounds had taken place until the next day.
Isis Gee was on the radio a lot before the prelims, doing interviews. And I have known about her for quite some time. That's why I'm focusing on her.

I think I will check the other songs on youtube.
