News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


Is it not normal to fall in love? or have sex? to want to spend your life with a person you want to?


That gay people are ill.


Some people are stuck in the dark ages.

Love / Fidelity of Polish women [63]


Some men don't like it, in fact I would go as far as to say they hate it, could be insecurity issues or a case of evil thinkers evil doers!

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]


Some people will never come to terms with the fact that some people dont fit in to what they consider "normal".


I doubt it or they wouldn't have these absurd ideas about gay people.

Thats not the issue, slagging your b/f's mother off on a forum that your b/f used to visit is! It's rude and down-right disprespectful. I like Ewi, she's a sweet kid, but I think this thread is, as I have already stated "uncalled" for.

Maybe it's a Polish thing to wash your dirty linnen in public? Or maybe it's just a personal choice?

Life / the responsibilities of the grandparents in Poland [4]


Not sure if this helps, but my friend was married to a Greek guy and she couldn't get a red cent off him when they divorced because he was in Greece and she was in the UK, Greece are in the EU.

Hope this helps.

Maybe "foot locker" we have them here

Work / Living on the certain income in Poland [30]


Poland for a tourist is cheap in comparison to Italy or Spain or even France, but again it depends on which city you visit...I would imagine that this will change though, especially when the euro is introduced.

Im going to ask nicely - please don't bracket UK with US...we don't like, at all, :-)

Let me clear something up:

In the UK, we don't ask every tom dick and harry "how are you" that would be just stupid, we may say "good morning" when greeting someone or "hi". "how are you" is generally reserved for someone you know who you haven't seen for a while. We say please and thank you regularly because it's good manners.

Some families sit down to dinner at the table as a family, some families dont.
Some mothers / fathers like their sons / daughters partners some dont...

"Some" is the key word here, it has nothing to do with culture - it's all about the individual.


That's just rude! certainly not a cultural thing, it's a class thing.


If it's in private, what's the problem? Some people wee in the shower :) Not sure it's a cultural thing, it's just habits people have, like you said Sash, only some Russians blow their noses into the sink.

I think we tend to get mixed up with individuals good / bad habits and cultural customs.

Not that Im aware, I've certainly never seen one in the UK, it made me smile too

Good boy :)

The above is all I have say on this thread because I think tearing apart the mother of your boyfriend on a forum where said boyfriend used to visit is pretty low..sorry Wyspi, I like you, but this thread is unkind and uncalled for and to be honest I'm quite surprised.

Life / "Finalistki Miss Polonia 2007" WHO'S THAT GIRL?? [34]

I dont actually see how anyone could criticize her, but I guess some people reckson they're just "perfect" and everyone else is flawed!!!!!

Love / Polish men vs German men: Who is hotter? [513]

True...thank god for Becherovka, Fernet and the Infant of Prague!

Love / Polish men vs German men: Who is hotter? [513]


Yep just as I remember Czech men, good job the architecture, beer and food make up for it, more than adequately :) I'm also going to point out that fashion doesn't seem to have changed much either :)

Love / Polish men vs German men: Who is hotter? [513]


And stand to attention when told - ;-)


Why? I've been to CZ many many times and not once do i actually remember seeing an abundance of attractive men...tell a lie I did see one...but then again Id' been drinking absinthe so in reality he might not have been that good looking :)

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


But thats just Greek men who think that, Spanish women are very attractive and so are Italians...maybe Greek men can't handle a woman who knows her own mind?

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]


There are quite a few Spaniards and French people living in the UK and quite a few Italians, plus Greeks...they just don't come in the numbers that Poles or people from the sub-contitents come from and they seem to integrate into British society more, same as those of your mothers generation that arrived in the 40s and 50s.

Life / Why are Polish people cheap? [126]

Along with the number of badly dressed women.... ;0)

WHAT THE FCUK! I've been to Brum many times (for meetings I may add not socilaising) and I have been to Krakow...you cannot even compare the two, I don't recall any windy little streets in Brum or did I miss something?

Love / My polish girlfriend will not leave [47]


Maybe she has a nervous laugh?


Sounds like she gave up a lot.

I think me means the babysham glasses...not flutes :)


A slight Madonna look?

UK, Ireland / The Orange Order vs Poles...again [37]


That's probably the best analogy of the situation in Ire I've heard.

Era, it must all seem strange to Del Boy to understand having not grown up with it and I suppose people pick out the most extreme aspects, hence focusing in on the Orange Men.

Love / Plastic boobs in Poland [44]


Yes, breast implants go under the chest wall muscle :)


It's my point of view.


True, most do, but some are happy with whatever they can get their mits on :)

Love / Plastic boobs in Poland [44]

I think it's down to personal choice and we live in a society where it okay to fix things we don't like and why not? People colour their hair, wear colour contacts, use fake tan, cosmetic surgery is just one step further. Some men like fake some like natural - it's just preference.

Life / What to do with my penny jar full of Polish coins? [10]

Can't you get the little coin bags and sort it out and then take it?


They dont look that pleased to see you in the UK banks either :))

Love / Why Polish girls are awesome? [141]


I just had to google that :) (I thought it was a form of lesbianism - doh!!!) thank you Mr Magic, I learnt something new today at school :)

News / Should rape carry a life sentence in Poland? [146]

Rapists as far as I understand usually get about 5 years, Jacub brutally attacked and sexually assaulted this woman and left her for dead. Had she not been found he would most certainly have faced a murder charge, which would have carried a life sentense.

But do I think rapist should be behind bars for life - yes I do, they are animals who in most cases re-offend. Ask any woman who has been raped what her quality of life is like after the event, some may exist and get on with it! most struggle and continue to struggle to the day they die. Why should a man just suffer for 5 years?


And a fcuking hot poker up his arse, see how he likes sexual abuse!

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]


to be honest, I doubt you have eaten proper english food, my ex was Hungarian and he complained all the time about English food until he came to mine for dinner and I cooked some traditional stuff for him :)

UK, Ireland / Integrating Polish people into the British society [150]


Me personally, none.


Shouldn't that be swans? ;-)


You already said you like the breakfast :( this is obviously a man thing!


Never be to sure about that.
