UK, Ireland / BEWARE when coming over UK [363]

Oh, so you're all mellowed out Arien?????

LOL!!!!!

Well, as a comparator, of all the Irish who emigrated to the USA over the decades, only 6% ever returned to live in Ireland, but, from Italy, 56% returned.......quite a difference!

Don't ask me why though!

No-one knows how many will return and for what reason, all we do know is that joining the EU has allowed the migrant workers from the new countries to avail of much higher paid work than what was available back home...........it won't last for ever, things will change, but at least they got off their butts and tried to improve their lives......therefore you can't berate them for doing that.

Whether they moved inside Poland or inside the EU, is now immaterial....I hope they got as much from the migration as did their new EU neighbours!

Law / What are the current market gaps in Polish business? [18]

And I want a cut of the action before I give you more

I'm not prepared to say what it is, but if people are interested, they could get in touch with me.

Guys, wot is this...milking the poor entrepreneur before he/she even starts...have a heart........!!!....:)

Quoting: lef, Post #12
the current practice of holding dead bodies in private homes till burial is outdated and a health risk

This is still current practice in Catholic Ireland, most deceased people are "waked" in their family home, friends, family, neighbours, visit to say their last good byes, tell stories, touch base with long lost relatives - show their respect over a 24/36 hour period before the body is taken to the church for their requeim mass then onto be buried.

Its an old, old practice...I think its a wonderful way to see the deceased off this world and onto the next. Apart from those with a deadly disease/polonium poisoning(!!) then its perfectly safe!

News / Fake Polish Passports? [11]

Its been going on for years.....its just flavour of the month since 911/7/7....and assorted other events...........

What it really means now...is that the 99% of the public with legit passports are questioned and checked endlessly because of th 1% fakes etc...........

Personally.......if you're caught witha fake/illegal passport............automatic 15 yr sentence...why do you need one...unless you're either very nasty or a criminal!

Mind you its tuff on the persecuted who jump ship at short notice from the multiplicity of nutter regimes around the world!

UK, Ireland / BEWARE when coming over UK [363]

you drive 5km too hard 3 times in a period of 2 years and you lose your license. -

You're not serious!!......that fascist like?.......no leeway...no re-education first?

Yes....A...the impact has been at the low end of the wage scale, but its not the fault of migrants who are now entitled to moving and working elsewhere, to improve their own lives.

The blame must lie at the door of a never ending line of immoral employers.....mostly in the private sector...who will humiliate and do down their own people, as well as taking advantage of new immigrants, but this has been going on for decades, not new!

UK, Ireland / UWAGA - polish women in and around ipswich uk [13]

As per the Yorkshire Ripper..........this was 20 yrs ago......

the lead copper when reflecting on the case said something like "The first few were prostitutes, but we had to sit up and take notice as this victim was innocent".

It seems once again, whilst one guy is murdering a girl every 2/3 days..........hes free to roam.........if it hadda been any other person...a national outcry.........are these girls lesser members of society?

Have things moved on........in UK society?.............not really. The authorities/society itself, are nearly as guilty of committing the crime as the person/persons unknown.

Its pitiful for all concerned.

Love / Why are polish girls more approachable than north american girls [158]

Well....Maxx.........the Swedish "look" of woman is much sought ofter, why do so many women dye their hair blonde....go for that look, tanned, toned elegant?

How many blondes do you know who've gone black or brunette....or pale....or short?

Plus they don't rely on guys for their self worth.

I don't know any, to approach though!

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

I think the point is some women in the UK are behaving like bloody animals when they're out they are showing us up and I dont honestly see a solution to it

So, there are a few namby pambies out there...stuck with that Victorian attitude....laughable...who are these arbiters of how much or who should drink what......complete and utter bukum!

C'es la vie!

Remember Amathyst....there is only one thing worse than being looked over............and thats being over looked!!

Ok, so it doesn't work so well when the guys are drunk...lol...guys are always doing stupid things...why can't girls?......

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Well, broadening it out........wife beating, violence, most deaths on roads down to guys, starting wars....etc..........virtually all guys..........?....guys of a certain age...lack common sense..............so assuming you're now older and more sensible.......:)

People have always drunk to access...why be surprised.........mostly in their younger years...and despite ALL the education...etc...and people who look down on those who do drink.......its getting WORSE...not better.............so?

Well.....look at the drug culture in UK........its worse now by a factor of 10 compared to 20 yrs ago......

What I said was all efforts to date aint worked............who wants a bloody nanny all the time......people make their choices, and then live with consequences...no stupider than the current government!

UK, Ireland / Heavy drinking culture in the UK - is it still the same in Poland? [69]

Combination of usage/users and the number of addicts.....now more widespread, easier to find a dealer, cheaper, more acceptable to use most drugs, more "acceptable" to be an addict!

Some usage less criminal, easier to access rehab etc.....
