UK, Ireland / British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home. [184]
No, I do not agree. I have a friend who studied with me in Portsmouth in 1983. He failed his first year examinations and returned to his parents in South West London. He is still there till this very day drawing social security benefits. Recently, he was successful in increasing his social security payments by applying for a top up-an invalidity benefit. This has increased his weekly allowance by two. My question is this, if Margaret Thatcher talked of moving to find work, then how can anybody be unemployed in this country and can apply for state funding if we can also accommodate millions of Eastern Europeans. After all, there are others not only Poles, though I do appreciate they are a majority. I was in a hotel in Leatherhead inquiring as to rates and the girl was from Bialarus, why should therefore be an unemployed pearson in Kingston-Upon-Hull yet we need to recruit in russia?

Travel / Trips and Nights in Gdansk / Sopot [30]
Is it still in business? I was told by someone on this forum that the pub or the whole building was up for sale. He( the joint owner) was a trained teacher of English and that should the pub venture fail then he would go back in to that line of work. I liked Sopot, not really like being in Poland at all. It had a North European feel about it something like being in Denmark, I should imagine. When I was there there may have been one or two ex pats but mostly Polish though the number has probably grown over the years.
he opened the language pub in the latter half of the 9Os... i dont go there - full of expats and not rea

Travel / Trips and Nights in Gdansk / Sopot [30]
Sopot was nothing special in the evenings when I was there, mind you it was winter time so I can not judge it during the summer months. Do you still have contact with this man? I do not even remember his name but he was a nice guy from what I remember and it was quite a walk to his bar in the evening as I was staying at a hotel called Maryia or something similar. Anyway, it was right up the other end of Sopot and it was my little 'home from home' in the evenings. Most of the people who frequented his bar were Polish with no connection to England and he was having trouble with his license as the locals were complaining and not allowing him permission to gain his publicans license. In fact, when I was there he was illegally operating and his bar was supposed to be closed. The second time as I was there in Sopot, he was regrettably back in Scotland on holiday.

Travel / Trips and Nights in Gdansk / Sopot [30]
If the weather is nice, Sopot would be nice to visit but really in the day time. I would have thought that Gdansk itself would have more to offer in the evening. There used to be a small bar in Sopot, though I can not be sure of its name-something like the Language Bar run by a Pole and a Scotsman. He was very nice and went to Poland originally as a teacher of English-check it out and help him make up his profits!

Language / Polish Language Pronunciation - Example Words and Phrases [220]
It comes from the reflexive pronoun siebie, which comes from the Russian siebja. Ja mowie do siebie-I am talking to myself for example. Sometimes though, verbs in Polish must be reflexive even though they are not in English. For example, ja zastanawiam sie, I am wondering...

No, that is true, you are right and I do not know all Polish women. I think that men can be devious too but generally, women are more so, wherever they may be from, not only Polish.
How on earth can you make such a remark ? You don't personally know 'all Polish women'.

I do my shopping in Tescos and sometimes in the evening the bus brings all these Slavs to do their shopping. They are garden workers doing picking work of some sort. You can always tell them apart as they always buy such utter rubbish. Tescos own bread, butter, biscuits, milk, jam ect. I sit there in the car and just look at them and there is certainly something wrong with them. You can certainly see the difference-they could never be mistaken for a German!
nother reason the slavs are not that intelligent generally is that if the ayrans fond an intelligent slav, they would kill him. another reason is the smartest people became priests and yet the priests were not allowed to have children. So anywhe

News / Thoughts on present day Lech Walesa [27]
As far as I can make out, he was simply 'the right person in the right place at the right time'. Some years ago I was in Gdansk and he was trying to stand for election again and it was a big joke and his spoken Polish was dreadful but as I was a personal friend of one of his advisers so I said nothing to the contrary but yes, he was like Hitler who seized the moment and rose in the same way during a certain political backdrop in history. He had his day and now it is time to move on.
