Love / Polish men are more sexy.... [64]

Er what's a srub when it's at home.

Why is everyone beating up the Brits?

Are you Poles more sexy than the French, Italians, Nepalese, too?

Travel / me in poland :) [37]


For me that reads' I don't need any religion'. We all need a crutch in life, something that supports us in difficult moments. For me it's my family and friends. I respect the part that religion plays in others' lives. I don't respect having their beliefs forced down my throat.

Just say no to zealots.:)

The East Coast is sinking already (isostasy I think it's called) so you can all go to Wales to balance it up:)

Ola, I understand that. Seriously I do. And I want my sons to be able to buy a home in their country too, if they choose to live here. I'm sure that you know all about wealth creation and how it would eventually work through to the people who deserve it most - he Polish people. The fact is for the people to be able to afford higher prices with higher wages the profits have to be within Poland. I am very concerned about the very high levels of short term profit taking right now. House prices were bound to rise. They were rising when I was there between 2001 and 2004. It can only be compensated by more wealth for the Polish people. It would never have been perfect but with more retained wealth it would have hurt fewer people. Like I said somewhere else or maybe earlier in this thread, signing up to the EU meant that Poland accepted free movement of both capital and labour. I just hope that the longer term benefits of membership eventually outweigh the short term pain. I could go on and on about this subject but it would probably bore everyone to death so I'll stop.

Maybe the most obvious sign of capital takeover is people buying residential property but the biggest inward 'investment' at a corporate level (company takeover, 'partnerships' etc.) was (in the last figures I saw 18 months sgo) from France. And they were reluctant to let Poles in to work. Who bought TPSA for example. How many Novotels have sprung up? A lot of Polish profits are now sent back to other EU countries.

OK as long as you don't mind flying Aeroflot. And don't all of you feel sorry for Daffy and his potato famine. The only reason people can't get potatoes and fries is cos Ireland is so damned expensive these days the tourists can't afford them.

Life / Puertorican says GOOD-BYE to Poland forever [104]

I think the whole world hates a particular type of English tourist - the sort that gets all the press on the stag night debacles and the soccer fans. But there again so do I and I'm English.

As for Daffy's comments on 700 years of occupation, I would like to apologise on behalf of the English and am prepared to offer him a similar deal to the one Jose was on about. Half a square metre of land (in Siberia mind you) and a small whippet to stand on it.

No Dublin's on the list matey. There is no escape.

Yes. The world will be turned into a cherry tart or a nice custard trifle and you will have played your part- heh heh.

There will be phantom flan flingers on the streets of every major capital city in the world before you can say Ossie bin Lady:)

I am secretly in the employ of the Polish National Tart Association. I get 5% of all tart sales (I'd better rephrase that):)

Hey Jose, do you seriously believe that you can converse with people from around the world via written communication in a publicly available Forum and not uncover reactions that are not typical or representative? Most people in most countries are good people but everyone has their fair share of bigots and self opinionated, vocal antagonists. You have chosen to debate racialism and nationalism in a Forum. Take a word of advice from someone whom you kindly referred to as a dinosaur (ageism sucks too my friend) and keep those conversations face to face in the future and with people you know well. Yes you have been naive in my opinion but I have the impression (which is all you can get from these exchanges) that you are a good and caring person. And like Daffy says, Poland is a wonderful country. Your best chance of seeing that is to visit.

Excuse me. The correct method of using this Forum would have been for you to have posted an entry into a new thread under the job opportunities section and then waited for the response. We are merely reacting to the fact that you have hijacked every thread with the same entry. Use the forum correctly and we will not repond in this manner.

Language / Why don't you have only one past tense in English? [14]


Very true Michal. A lot of the tenses have fallen into disuse anyway. Its a pareto distribution, you will be correct 90% of th etime with 10% of the knowledge. Anyway I notice you are studying law which is a far more complex language!

Language / Why don't you have only one past tense in English? [14]

Ah conjugation (for years I thought you would be arrested for it)

Overview follows

1. Judy saved thirty dollars. (past)
2. Judy will save thirty dollars. (future)
3. Judy has saved thirty dollars. (present perfect)
4. Judy had saved thirty dollars by the end of last month. (past perfect)
5. Judy will have saved thirty dollars by the end of this month. (future perfect)

In total there are about (as I recall) thirty different tense combinations. The five above should be enough to srat with. Imperfect tenses next (I was planning to do them now but work got in the way)

My vote goes for Thailand or Vietnam.

UK, Ireland / Have you heard of Sheffield United Football Club? [11]

I think the poster is looking for anecdotal stories about The Blades. You know, things like they have the cheapest meat pies in the Premiership (dunno if this is true btw) or they used to hang visiting supporters if they wore more than two scarves. Sorry, can't help being a Liverpool fan an all.

They got thumped at Chelsea this weekend if that helps. Oh and they've got the biggest mouthed manager in the world.
