USA, Canada / Married a Mexican guy in USA - can I Divorce him from Poland? [16]
You have to be present in the country to apply for this - divorce is her only choice, unless she goes back to the US.
For a divorce she will just need to show her marriage cert to her solicitor and he /she can start the proceedings - citing the grounds for divorce etc. (would recommend speaking to ex before hand to agree on best option) - just because she didn't register her marriage in Poland doesn't make her a single woman.
I imagine there are no children or property involved so it wont take too long and it wont be too expensive.
Think long and hard next time sweety :)
The annulement would be better but it has to be done under a year.

England has some very funny laws, I mean why?
Some are very out-dated but can still be used our legal system has been around for quite a bit.
I was on the Shetland Island and there is some mad law about it being legal to shoot a Scot in a kilt on the beach on a Sunday with a crossbow, something along those lines, you will have to excuse me if it is not exact.
It sounded like some Lord did this and then made it law, therefore getting awa with it?

That just reminds me of a time I was coming back from the pub and over the charles bridge towards the castle one winter I was in Prague....it was completely deserted and was snowing - it has to be one of those moments that when I think about it, it will always make me smile :)
I can recommend a great Italian restaurant on Grodzka, 1 min from the main square - the waiters are pretty fit so that sould be nice for the wife :))))
when nobody is around, it is like a scene from the lion the witch and the wardrobe, with huge snow flakes dancing in the ever so slight breeze

Wrong, my friend waitressed when she was at uni and it's down to who you are as a person she worked in a Beefeater and was nice to everyone, miserable people will be just as miserable where ever they work and I've encountered some right biatches in nice restaurants.
The money paid to staff is a factor here. When you're in a fancy restaurant the odds on being served well are better :)

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK Turn Out to be Star Waiters and Waitresses. [13]
Okay I have no anti polish feelings (I think everyone on the forum knows that), but I find this incredible - service is done in a miserable and unwilling manner in Poland and to be quite honest I have not experienced any great hospitality (when out in a bar or restaurant) from a Pole in the UK.
I think it's probably one person i.e. Noimmi - anyone with an grain of sense knows that work is work no matter what you do.
Poles can be admired for many things, and there is plenty of good stuff in this article about hard work, but treated politely in bars and restaurants?? Polite, in the sense of not really bothering with the waitressing aspect of the position or the customer service end of things.

Some (mainly English) on this forum think it's funny and demeaning for Poles to clean toilets and wait on tables. They forget that these types of menial labour are usually simply a means to an end.

Maggie was a self-absorbed person who's only goal in life was to be PM - at the cost of her family life, not a woman to admired to be quite honest - she didn't have it all she had a career in politics from a young age and that was all she cared about. She was practically a man - minus the tackle!
Her espousal of Victorian values suggested that the traditional female role was one that women could continue to follow without having to justify themselves. ie women could choose their own path.

Any age group - I worked in a male dominated industry on a secondment for 12 months in that time I had over 20 propositions from married men! all English! That's not what I call committed to marriage.
what age group are you talking about ?
i dont know if it is different in Uk,but from what I have gathered most men in their late 20s and early 30s are willing to commit.

I could only laugh at this remark:

Apropos the 'Chunnel of Love', would the French ever be insane enough to demand land back which the Normans conquered back in 1066???

It all looked fairly safe, (if not the filimng :D), 90 mph isn't really that fast considering the type of vehicle, I would put money on it that a mercedes clk would stop quicker from 90mph than a Polonez or any other badly maintained **** you see on polish roads would from 60 mph.
