Life / Under 18 curfew in Poland [16]

I don't see any problems here, so we don't need a curfew.

Besides if anyone is going to commit a crime they will do it regardless of a curfew.

I don't know much about it. It's all down to our education minister. And you know what we think of him.

Life / Dance/Rave culture scene in poland? [6]

Blackpool,

I came here in 91 and people were listening to 70's rock. The reasons. Lack of radio stations, the old political system, Lack of effective record companies, everything on tape was bootlegged.

I was listening to the Shamen and Stereo MC's at the time.
It all changed within two years. And then people asked if they could borrow 'that shite' that I'd been playing one or two years earlier.

To answer the question 'Dance' has been around for about 15 years.

Some of these firearms are real. Others fire gas or gas fired pellets. Either way they will make a mess of you.

Life / polish classic rock bands?? [9]

There was a band who sounded like early Yes. Keyboards, guitar and very little vocals. Two guitarists, one of whom played a double neck.

And I can't for the life of me remember their name.

Paul,

I would say that you choose a name-day that doesn't clash with December 6th or December 24th.
Your parents may have other ideas.

My name-day is too close to Christmas for me to gain from it.

There are duplicate names because of the many Saints. Polish people are named after these Saints.

If you think I can help please send me an e-mail, through my profile. You might have to become a member to do it.

News / BRAIN DRAIN ON POLAND [101]

Grzegorz,

When in Poland they are potential high earners. Doctors, Dentists etc.

When in the UK they are low income workers. They take a change of direction workwise.

Is this what you mean ?

I find that those in there twenties don't really know what to do when they get to England and will settle for almost anything that pays reasonably well.

Older people have a wife and kids at home, so they take job hunting more seriously. They find a better job and then go.

Unemployment is 9% here [Wroclaw]. Which I admit is still too high.

Grzegorz,

Where did you get the idea that these people are low income workers.

News / BRAIN DRAIN ON POLAND [101]

If we had a government that was working properly and not arguing all the time then they might be able to do something about the brain drain. As it is, people like the Mayor of Wroclaw, who is not aligned to any party, are the only ones doing anything.

I also see an exchange of people. There are more and more British husbands/wives coming to Poland and starting up new companies.
There is a lot of new business here (in Wroclaw) so I don't think the problem is so bad.
Those people working abroad are the ones pushing up property prices as well as foreign investment.
We can't all win.

I'd wait for ideas from a few posters. Many things at Christmas are regional. And besides you still have plenty of time to think about it.
