Nice place, but no - I stay in Glasgow, I was only working there (lovely Glen Shira , you're going to have a wind farm there).

News / Tornado hits Poland [39]

Yeah, I just spoke to my parents on the phone, they told me it was thundering yesterday evening non stop for 2 hrs.
Btw, I saw a tornado in Scottish Highland two days ago (close to Inveraray). That's a quite unusual sight, innit ? (Scottish residents of PF should have something to say about it)

News / POLAND TO SIGN US MISSILE SHIELD DEAL TONIGHT [239]

I hope we'll see Americans delivering oil to Poland if Russians cut off their oil supply. Poles can also expect oil and gas prices' increases.

Guess he doesn't like Germans. But his attitude shows he doesn't like many people.

Love / My Polish boyfriend fancies are Pakistani neighbor. What do I do ? [291]


Not every one of them. I, for one, fancy white lassies.

Travel / What are nightclubs like in Warsaw...? [33]


For the same reasons why some people try 'survival', I suppose.

Life / Metal Detecting in Poland [18]

But, as in many other aspects in Polish life, the law is one thing and the reality quite other one.

UK, Ireland / I married a Pole, we live in the UK - eligibility for Polish citizenship? [15]


But he's a German ! And the Only True Pope (C) (TM) can be only a Pole !

Btw, present this link to your wife/husband, it's a case when you want to move to Poland, though. From what I understood from this: a foreigner must be married for at least 3 years to a Polish citizen and acquire a permit for settlement in Poland.

News / America: Take your missile base and shove it! [116]


Have you checked out the news ? Russians are already turning down the oil tap for Czechs. As long as we're dependent on Russians when it goes for oil and gas supply, we must play safe - and this rocket shield is going to make them even more paranoid than they are now. Besides we should concentrate on strengthening European unity, and not allow ourselves to become American puppets. Poland has never been lucky with her alliances. The USA is no exception here. They don't give a f...k about us. We even still need visas to travel to their country. Polish PM announced withdrawal from Iraq for autumn this year and I hope it would commence as it was promised.

Language / Talking about the weather [22]

Hmmm, perhaps Silesian way of speaking (further differing depending on the area) is similar in some extent to drawl. Got no idea what 'glide' is - Cambridge dictionary doesn't explain it in context of speaking.

Language / Talking about the weather [22]


No, actually it's something you do with certain syllables in a specific manner that makes them last a bit longer (I don't know the English word naming it, neither does my dictionary).


I told you it's car, didn't I ?

Language / Talking about the weather [22]


Wasn't me ?


Cara - kogo ? czego ?
car - the big boss of Russia & Co. a long time ago.

As for the right accent question, it requires a verbal communication. I'm unable to demonstrate the pronunciation in writing.

If you happen to visit Silesia, don't forget to add '...na banhofie' (I'll omit the accent question).

I learned after I sat behind the wheel. It's a personal matter. Anyway, all-present traffic enforcement cameras will make you drive quite slow in built-up area.

If you want to buy yourself a nice standard flat, you'll need >£80 k, which would be connected with the area of its placement. Rent would be some £400 for a studio flat, £550 and up for 2 bed (+bills, council tax, which is about £120/month and depends on the area you live in).

UK, Ireland / Tell me about Glasgow [59]


Honestly, if I were legally living in the US, I'd never move to Glasgow. I live here only because of my job. When I finish my professional courses, I'm going to look for a job somewhere else. The only attractions here are the clubs in the city centre - there's plenty of them to pick and choose. Besides it's an industrial, gray moloch.

Travel / Going to Kędzierzyn-Koźle in August [10]

Yeah. Town neighbouring my village. Been there thousands of times. Nice place to visit and hang out in bars, but not much perspectives to live and work. That's why I regretfully left it.

Yeah, let them come to the UK - 1 litre of petrol = £1.15, on some remote islands £1.40...

UK, Ireland / Sun hires Polish journalists to cover Euro 2008 [7]

There has already been some Polish lassie in a Scottish tabloid (don't remember the name of the paper, it's my co-workers who buy them). Of course there was some old, not-funny-at-all-already joke about pole dancing next to her photo.
