Good for Gliwice and I'm over the moon about your friends new job, but wtf has that got to do with England offering freeEnglish lessons to foreigners?

answers on a post card please!

UK, Ireland / FREE PART TIME COURSES IN ENGLISH! (LONDON) [24]


I very much doubt that too, but it doesnt help public feeling when you're £££ down on last year because of increase in bills and tax (council tax rise circa. 7%, gas circa. 10%, water rates circa. 15%, electric circa. 10% - it all adds up)...and as a national you get nothing extra for working your a$$ off and if you do fall on hard times, forget it, you are right at the back of the cue.....yet you see people come in to the country get free housing, free language class and benefits galor...

And M, please dont think Im aiming this specifically at Polish people because Im not, it's aimed at anyone that's getting freebies, whilst I have to work hard and get only what I work for and I dont expect something for nothing.

Yes I know that it's a political thing and the forum isnt the place to discuss this, but I just wanted to answer you question.

I think the point is about behaviour - and lets face it lads we have earnt rather a bad rep over the years..

But I did a quick search on google and it came up with several companies that cater for stag parties in krakow and they have offices there that provide tour guides and numerous activites.....you cant have you cake and eat it, the revenue that is generated must be pretty damn good......

I'm not excusing the bad behaviour, very far from it, but fact of the matter is, some British blokes are rather loud and silly when drunk...not so much violent though...

Therefore coming out of tax paid and things like this dont help people's feelings towards immigrants - even the most tolerant get a wee bit pushed off when tax has just increased for those poorest and council tax went up on average by 7%..and all the while the government is squandering money!


How about I say, if you chose to come and live and work in a country, learn the language...why the fek should we provide you with free lessons? I think that those Polish tax payers get paid a better wage than they would in Poland and those with kids get child benefit.... would you expect something for free in Poland just because you paid your tax?

and what about people that come to England drop litter and in general treat it like shite, should they be deported? Trust Im not happy about the way a few blokes act of a weekend, but what about the 1000's of people that come to England and have no respect whatsoever! If the Polish hate it so much then they should refuse to serve English people

You're amongst friends Mr B, please feel free to share ;-)

I have to say I probably wouldn't be able to travel as much as I do if they weren't so cheap, but having said that the first time I went to the Czech Rep it cost me £250 for a flight (it was quite a long time ago) and I dont remember there being a lot of English, the only English we bumped into were a group of guys (all in their late 40is) who had been travelling their since the late 80is and yes they enjoyed a drink but they weren't loud and drunken...we only met those kind when we went to watch Sparta Prague play....and they were drunk czech hooligans!

UK, Ireland / More Polish workers leaving the Isles [28]


You're right, Polish people are working in professions, Dentists, Doctors, Engineers and so on, those are the kind of people the UK can't aford to lose (no offence to those in the lower end jobs) and judging by the salaries in Poland I dont think a Polish GP or Dentist being paid £45,000 + a year (in the UK) is in any hurry to go back to Poland just yet.

I can only sumise the reason for the mass exodus is the drop in the £ and the risk of coming to a country with a shaky economy!

UK, Ireland / More Polish workers leaving the Isles [28]

Not sure it will have a massive impact since there are plenty of Lithuanians, Hungarians, Czechs and Slovakians, Im sure a lot that are returning are those that are students or people who have done what they came to do - i.e. save for a better life in Poland...good luck to them, but on the flip side there are Poles that have settled....

Also maybe the person who wrote that article should stand near Chorlton Street bus station any night of the week and see all the cars with Polish registrations, picking up friends and relatives just arrriving... ;-)

True numbers of those actually living and working in the UK isnt really known so i tend to ignore any figures that are published....

Travel / Help, advice and please quash or confirm a rumour about Cracow! [16]

GINGER

My advice would be, act how you act when you are at home and dress accordingly as for places to go, there are a few little bars on Grodzka (just off the main square) and there is a wonderful Italian restaurant on there too....Krakow is a wonderful place to explore, just get off the main square away from where the idiots seem to congregate and there is an abudance of nice little bars to have a nice cold one and while away the hours :0)

Try the Jewish district too, it has some great bars and some fantastic places to eat..

There is a little club / bar called "Crazy Bar" which plays cheesy music and can be highly entertaining, for some reason because of the kinds of music it played - it didn't really attract the same kind of crowds the P£ssed up lout tends to follow :0)

Of course there is something wrong with a person who rapes, its not exactly a normal thing to do, but I would dissagree that it's genetic.

This topic has been discussed before and the outcome was, in general men think abortion is a terrible thing - maybe abortion wouldn't be so common place if women were secure in the knowledge that the man that got them pregnant was going to stand by them!

Sorry to just pick on you Mr S but your comments actually stuck out the most.

Thats a really stupid thing to say, you shooow is a BMW init! It would seem you have picked up some of the attitude! Doesnt matter how tall you walk!

Love / BLACK GUYS POLISH WOMEN [809]

I think in England mixed raced kids are accepted more now than they were 20 years ago and btw it wasnt the white kids at school that gave my school mate hassle it was a couple of black girls! So you see the lesson for today is:

Its not only white people that can be racist!

I personally wouldn't want children that are mixed race, because I would imagine there will be some problems and life is hard enough as it is!

News / Polish - French relations [41]


Now that's funny...We've been in the EU for quite some time now and have good relationships with all the other members (particularly France & Germany)...as for our "special relationship" with US, that's always going to remain, we have a little bit of history with America ;0)

Like Mr W said, just let nature take it course, I sincerely hope that things work out...but long distant relationships are never that easy, jeeze I couldn't even manage Manchester to London ROLF!

Love / DOES HE OR DOESN'T HE have feelings for her?? [19]

I'd say its quite sweet if he keeps the card in his wallet, personally I just throw things if Im finished with the person or have no interest.

Just out of interest how old is he?

Why dont you **** off and die, you are starting to get on my nerves! Do you think Poles in the UK is something new? News flash you little turd there are 2nd 3rd Generation Poles in the UK...lets ask them what they think of the mass influx of ******* Africans and pakis!

Travel / Tips for travel with 1 year old needed [17]

They should stick all the kids at the front of the plane...away those of us who want a quite peaceful flight!..(dose the brat up with Calpol before you get on the flight I hear that works).I had a head ache for two days when I arrived in Barcelona because of some fooking kid screaming all the way there - and not just screaming it was knelt up on the seat infront so it could actually scream in my face!!!!!!!!!!! & Im not even going to mention about the time we got diverted to Brum from Krakow and spent 4 hours on a coach with several smelly screaming kids!

As you can see folkes not only do I think suspected terrorists should be banned from flying i also think that kids should (under the age of 16)

Not sure I find it mildly comic, more like a damn bloody cheek!

As for the economy, when I walk down the street now I see more and more of those little yellow signs reading money transfers - when I go into a shop, Its not Polish people I see wiring money abroard, it is in general Africans so we could also say that they are not contributing to the economy and sending it all back home...but how true would that be?

Love / My polish girlfriend has changed following death of dad.. [153]

Give her time, people grieve in different ways and it would seem she doesnt want any close contact and you are probably not the only one she is pushing away...

Anger and frustration are part and parcel with greif and maybe she doesnt want to be around you when she's feeling like this....Not everyone wants to be comforted some people find this claustraphobic.

I hope it all works out for you.

Oh yes and it shall remain that way, its quite funny I spent a few days in Karlovy Vary on my last visit to the Czech and didnt meet one English / Scot or other English speaking person...it was like Heaven..
