Look I'll do you a favour. I'm having a terrible time with my pipes - how much would you charge to pop round and fit a new set of washers? Cash in hand, no questions asked. Tell your parents you're going to the shops or something.


I've seen them with my own two eyes

Prince shows once again why he is never invited to parties

Why is there high unemplyment in germany and comparatively low unemployment in Poland? Because all the Poles have gone to Germany to look for work. duh.

What pseudoscience is this, Seanus? Callan, like all schools, is a moneymaking method. Saying that a Callanoid is a teacher is like comparing a McDonalds drone to a head chef. I feel disgusted just thinking of it.

Probably because all the young people have moved west to look for work, because they don't fancy milking cows until they're 70, when they'll probably die because the public health is so bad there


Look at a map sometime and see where all the industry is and we'll talk about this again. In the meantime Puck off, Fuzzler.

Sorry - does the Ignac stand for 'Ignorant'? Do some reading before you start spouting off about things outside your village next time.


Neither are logistical centres. Compare with Katowitz and Breslau. What's the new business centre in Poland? Posen. All used to be Germany. Look at the train network sometime. Face it, Poland owes most of its industrial and financial strength to being handed Silesia after the war.

I thought it was just for women but I've just checked and it looks like you're right - Gymnasion is for men and women. Well, for people who like cardiopilates boxercise and yoga salsa spinning classes :)

Where do you go in the evening after your Dungeons and Dragons session by the way?

That's soooo geeky.

If you want to avoid big rounds, get to the pub at the front of the group and hold the door open - this way someone else gets to the bar first and buys the expensive first round. From then on, time your drink to end when only one or two other people have finished - unless you have a really greedy git who will ask for another pint when he's only a third of the way through his current one.

You want to do a CELTA? Maybe try getting in touch with Bell or International House - they both administer it - but as far as I know, the courses are in Krakow, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Gdansk.

There's also a Trinity ESOL course or something but I don't know about it.

Life / PESEL and the White Pages [16]


Good for you!


Are you a Polish citizen? if so, you should have a PESEL You need one for your ID card

Life / PESEL and the White Pages [16]


Well, I wasn't born in Poland so when I claimed Polish citizenship (Dad's Polish), I first received a letter confirming my status. You obviously won't need this if your birth is registered in Poland.

I live in Lodz, so my next stage was to go to my local 'delegatura' (local council) and 'zameldować (register). I had to show proof of residence and the letter confirming my citizenship. Christ the biurwa in the delegatura was a bitch. Seriously. She sat there with a face like an Easter Island statue with an arse full of razor blades. Anyway, after much crying and pleading, the cow registered me and I could move to the next stage.

Which was to go to the local 'Urząd stanu cywilnego' (USC - Registry of Births Marriages and Deaths) to register my Polish birth (and marriage, because I'm married). They processed my personal details for my ID card and calculated my PESEL, because, as you know, it's based on date of birth, sex and a couple of other things. Whether you're a homosexual / communist etc.

Yhen it was a short wait before I could go back to the delegatura and collect my card.

You should find the procedure a lot easier since your birth details will be in Poland. I'm assuming you're not in Poland at the moment? I would suggest getting in contact with the USC where you were born and asking them for advice, since as far as I know, they are the people who assign PESELs. Their number will be on the internet somewhere

Life / PESEL and the White Pages [16]

I guess so - all Polish citizens have a PESEL number.

Have you been granted citizenship but you're not resident in Poland? If so, you need to register yourself 'zameldować' with the local authorities. They will take your details and give you an ID card. This can be a long process (depending on the bastard sitting opposite you in the office) so the more background info you can give us here the more we can help you.

Don't sweat it - Shelly's had a face like an Easter island statue with an arse full of razor blades since she found out I was taken. I suppose it's a woman thing.


He wants to put his sweet love on you and then settle down and marry someone else.

Love / There are some good looking older chicks in Poland no? [25]


Well it depends where you look. Poland does have its share of scummy mummies and frombies as does any country but I am working with some fine looking over 40s. And that's older than me by the way.


Ok the US has Heather Locklear but what does Canada have? Celine Dion? Come on now. I appreciate you playing the Devil's advocate but you've got to draw the line somewhere.

Love / There are some good looking older chicks in Poland no? [25]

you will not be sorry. The only problem is that few middle aged women in Poland go out on the town. They work during the day and stay with their families in the evening. I don't know what they do at the weekend.


More like mature versions :)

Love / There are some good looking older chicks in Poland no? [25]

Well, glamourous grannies are rare but you can see them. Definitely 40s and 50s though

Love / There are some good looking older chicks in Poland no? [25]

No I'm not a biddy fiddler. There are some good looking women in their 40s, 50s and even 60s around. Come on you must have seen a couple hmm?
