Love / Which is better? Being single or being in a relationship? [92]

Having that avatar of Mo is certainly affecting you! I bet you're none of those things you just said!


good advice

Love / Which is better? Being single or being in a relationship? [92]


Why???

Life / do polish girls get pregnant while in school? [28]


I see your point. There are definitely a large amount of teenage single mothers who remain on benefits because they think its their 'entitlement'. I know a girl who had a baby, gets all the benefits and basically never sees her child, she's always off out, her kid knows her aunts/uncles/cousins better than she knows her Mother.

Yes there are single Mothers who remain on benefits simply because for to work, it would cost them money in child care etc and therefore there is no real point in working.

Amathyst - an old friend of mine (I rarely see her now) had a baby when she was sixteen to a guy she thought would stick around - he didn't. I thought she might go down the benefits route and for a while she did - the coucil house etc. Then she changed her mind, moved her and her daughter into a room in her parents house and worked her rear end off getting her nursing degree. She bought a house a couple of years ago with her new husband and her daughter and is a respected member of the maternity team at the local hospital. Although she lived with her parents they didn't pander to her.

UK, Ireland / Flooding in Northern England [74]


I remember you talking about it. I think here we've all just had a major jolt because now its not just flooding, its beginning to be about people not having water to drink or food to eat in some places. There's 6 flood warnings still in place in England so its not easing off any. There just doesn't seem to be an end to it at the moment.

Love / The Polish girl i love has gone back to Poland . [65]

I was going to post a reply but Wroclaw and Sunflower you've said it for me!

I dated a Canadian guy once and he was a complete and utter....you know. Still like Canadian men though!

Its a grim nightmare Amathyst. If you've not read it already then see bbc.co.uk news site there's a lot on there for reading.

Travel / The best city/town in Poland for: A) holidays B) living [18]


he sure is entitled to his opinion but if you read over his many, many posts then you'll see that he does seem to dislike Poland (despite visiting it often) and Polish people. He posts upsetting things often and then argues with people who disagree with him. Its like a hobby.

As for yourself. You don't seem over impressed with Poland either. You maybe should have made the effort to get to Gdansk as nothing else has apparently tickled your pickle!

Travel / The best city/town in Poland for: A) holidays B) living [18]


exactly. I live in Scotland and can't help but see concrete bridges and billboards. I'm pretty much stumped as to what he expects bridges to be built of actually? Straws? Polystyrene?

lol Grzegorz you make me laugh. :-)

Then why go??? Save your money and go somewhere you like! I can assure you - Poland can do without you!


I don't know about living but for holidays it obviously depends on what you're looking for. Warsaw is probably good for a first time visit but then again, there's so much in all the cities...I would pick somewhere in the Tricity because I am a girl who likes the ocean and likes to be near it!

Love / Foreigners in relationships with Poles - do your in-laws accept you? [66]

My parents have never put restrictions on me either. I have never met on/off's parents and probably wouldn't want to unless things become more serious (although if they were over here visiting I wouldn't avoid them). His friends accept me though and this is okay for me for now.

My parents used to hippies so for them - anything goes - lol :-)

Love / Which is better? Being single or being in a relationship? [92]


Yeah I think this is true. I know people who flit from relationship to relationship and spend the minimum of time as a single person! Its wrong. How can you know what you want if you never have time to be with yourself? They say they can't be single!


Yes. I have talked about this on Justyna's topic 'what a girl wants'. I know people who have married young/early so that they not be alone but I cannot understand this.


Where did you get this Pingwin? Its so very true!

News / Polish religious pilgrims crashed coming back from a pilgrimage [62]

Bubba, I just saw this story on another news site. Its very upsetting.

I echo Grzegorz - RIP

For those who survived - take care and get well soon.

UK, Ireland / Trying to find out what Poles like to do in the UK [35]


Sorry, I meant that he doesn't have any first hand knowledge of what Polish people like or do - its all secondary knowledge or stuff that he has made up! Sorry, should have explained myself better - I am tired :-)


True. Actually, I don't know where he gets what he says. Its not from Polish people anyway.

UK, Ireland / Trying to find out what Poles like to do in the UK [35]

My guess is that he is completely guessing. He doesn't like Polish people, doesn't integrate with them himself and therefore has absolutely no idea what it is that Polish people like to do. He takes his knowledge from TV I think.

UK, Ireland / Trying to find out what Poles like to do in the UK [35]

I with you on that one Lady In Red. I get up at 5.15 most mornings for work and I make a cup of tea, get something to eat and I sit down and find out the news headlines on Ceefax and then get the news on BBC News 24 at 5.30. I have never thought this odd at any time. Quite honestly, I think a huge majority of people do this in the morning with television of some kind, kids programmes or just for general noise in the background.

I might add, when I am getting ready for work I have the radio on the background.

UK, Ireland / London, not my cup of tea [30]


this is the bright side...

UK, Ireland / London, not my cup of tea [30]


but you would need an umbrella...and wellington boots...and probably a small row boat at the moment! :-)

Okay, today its supposed to be the middle of Summer but our temp here in Edinburgh is maximum 13 degrees celsius (55 in farhenheit). So its not warm. You can go to bbc.co.uk/weather/ and get temps and forecasts for Britain and Europe.

UK, Ireland / London, not my cup of tea [30]

In lots of places SG. However, if you come to Britain you can come any time of the year! Its always bloody freezing! ;-)


I read your post. I live in Edinburgh which is a much smaller city and getting around is still a nightmare whether you drive a car or take the bus. At rush hour buses are packed and people just barge to the front of queues and bash into you when you're on them. Some people say sorry, others do not and its very frustrating to me because I always apologise if I bash someone by mistake!

Its traffic lights that drive me nuts in Edinburgh, there are so many of them!!!

Life / Will Poland become like the UK ? [93]


Oh I know but I feel that its good to get a better accent etc but to want to lose everything about him that is Polish...its sad but maybe he has his reasons for wanting to do this. I don't know the guy, I just felt sad because I would not want to lose my 'Scottishness' or 'Britishness' should I move elsewhere.

Life / Will Poland become like the UK ? [93]


I am sad to read this. :-(

Life / Will Poland become like the UK ? [93]


In Edinburgh the greatest amount of beggers are from the city itself. Although, I don't deny there are foreigners begging on the streets but the majority are from Edinburgh or Britain at least.

UK, Ireland / Trying to find out what Poles like to do in the UK [35]


This may be true for some Polish people but I can assure you, the Polish people I am friends have a lot in common with myself and other Brits that are part of our group.

This statement of yours that I have quoted is another example of you grouping all Polish people into one - a sure sign that you have no intention of welcoming any Polish people to Britain.

Love / Do polish men look after their nails ?? [49]

I'll still think of something!

Love / Do polish men look after their nails ?? [49]

I won't run you over then

Love / Do polish men look after their nails ?? [49]


yes you will be a hero of course!


the same pleasure we get going through child birth! (altho afterwards we get a cute baby)

Love / Do polish men look after their nails ?? [49]

I don't do guilt I am afraid. I do pleasure instead!

Love / Do polish men look after their nails ?? [49]

Haha.

Does it matter if its me that's driving or not???

UK, Ireland / Trying to find out what Poles like to do in the UK [35]


exactly!!! Its taken ages for my Polish friends to start integrating with a wider circle of friends who include some Brits. Its probably also the reason why my on/off b/f is exactly that!
