Work / Going rate for translators in Poland? [12]

Trying to read a text translated into English by a native Pole is like eating soup with a fork.

yeah yeah, Barx is absolutely right!! I'm still learning here, for example : a lot of ppl here use: she do. I was stupid believing that: she does :O Idiot me! :) Sometimes Polish can be usefull for spelling. My landlord, English, always ask me how to spell tomorrow etc.

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

When I was a child I loved Monty Python, Hotel Zacisze (Fawlty Towers), Allo, Allo, stories and movies about Robin Hood (not a bit like our Janosik?:)or Wilhelm Tell and many more. Howeve don't forget we have a knowledge about your history, literature and culture also from our schools and because of private hobby. And we enjoy it. We Polish are ambitious nation, love to feel helpfull and needed and we are also sons of powerfull kingdom which Poland was. My friends who were travelling to UK before our great migration to England, felt much better then now. A lot of Polish LOVED travelling to legendary Albion, because they wanted to discover history, found King Arthur's sword, taste the legend, now can feel made to do it, i.e. economical situation etc. and in the heart they are suffering, because we cannot feel like the partners sometimes and then it starts stupid discussion between us like: polish (beeeeeep) contra english (beeeeep). Maybe we sometimes angry, upset and drunk but never do acts of terrorism against you, cause we don't hate you, maybe sometimes we just feel not understood and no approciated like a nation, like a people, like a workers and like the potentional friends by you.

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

I want to know if people who go back to Poland will be changed by their experience in Britain and if that will then change Poland in any way?

Unfortunately the world is not ideal, so it's utopia and impossible to talking about healthy economy. We, Polish feel that we are only guests here, but we learn English and I suppose Polish guy prefer working hardly then make 5 or 6 children and live from your benefits. Is it true that child benefit is lower for British then for Pakistani? I'm here 2 years but still don't understand a lot and don't know you. Where are those great! (nomen-omen)British we liked? What about famous British sense of humor? Where are all gentelmen younger then 70 yrs? If somebody is opening the door for me in the shop etc I say: dziekuje. Many guys were suprised how could I know they are Polish. Because I've NEVER met English here who is doing it. Believe me, a lot of Polish felt they are going to FRIENDS, interesting, funny, a bit cold on the first sight, but incredibly intelligent.

Sorry, but a lot of us is changed in depressed, pseudoposh, eager for money and frustrated. Polish who I know enjoying UK only in pubs and shops! Why on many sites many English put under: "hobby" mainly: shopping and clubbing????

What about your famous culture? I want to talk about many things, but, o dear! sometimes I know MUCH more then you about yourselfs! Of course I've met brilliant people here, but too less.

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

Soon I will make a list of the great things about the UK

It's fantastic idea!!! However I would love to see the list not of your famouse writers, singers which we just know, places, cathedrals, castels which we just know also etc etc . I would like to hear where I can meet openminded and openhearted people, how to understand you, how to be appreciated by you.

work in lower paid jobs

Hmmm, you know, it's a bit strange why I cannot find right job if I'm well educated, frequently awarded by Univerity of Education because of my achievements. Why England don't give many possibilities of deserving jobs for Polish? Do you need us only to low-paid and dirty works?

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

british degrees are worth less with each year of graduates hitting the employment market...

don't expect anything handed to you on the silver platter.

I never was expecting this lol I've got a wide experience and I was studying in Padova University ALSO. Just have wanted to be useful here, change your opinion about Polish, I never expect that everybody will be licking my feet (but could be nice:))

Some of my Polish friends got a scholarship here. They were scary of education's level. Now they are grumbling that they've got the same things in high-school. They've wanted to learn something new, more difficult, not only to be the best students, because they just know all the stuff.

However Eurola I think the best environment for me could be the small house in the forest by the lake or by the sea :) and I'm fighting for it:)

Howewer here is a bit like in Poland. Employers don't want you without experience, but you cannot gain this experience without a work. Voluntary is good for someone who don't need to care about bills, food etc. because i.e. parents pay it. However sometimes employers want to PAID experience, so the circle start to close.

Life is about choices, like Eurola truly said, so I'm looking for the right people who can appreciate my knowledge, enthusiasm, experience and do not care about appereance. Could be I've found them, but we will see. I want to feel happy and useful in my work, wake up every morning with the big smile on my face: "I go to work!" and I wish the same all of you :)

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]

Both of my granparents were in Oswiecim, one of them was in the first transport to that place with 135 number! During the proccess they saved one kapo telling that if he would shoot them with the one bullet for every LEAF of bread they stolen for patiens (another my grandpa was a medic there)they could look like a sieve. My grandparents had a lot german friends later, my granpa was travelling in Germany to teach about war young german people. One of them said that his granpa was a officer in Oswiecim, but his is not proud of that anymore. I have also german friends, we remember about consequences of the war, but we try to repair old mistakes and be open to the new times.

she hoped they would be interested in her for her qualifications

You are absolutely right! My appereance NEVER have helped me in that. Could be if I wish be a lap-dancer LOL. One of my on-line friend had the story in London, serious employer from serious background start touching her during the interviev and when she said: no, he told her she is not open on communication with him, so.......

would you really want to work for them anyway?

NO WAY!:) :):

she didn't tell me, I know only she is pregnant now with her partner, however was affraid of consequences. She is lovely girl, preety but I think quiet fragile

If I've got a problems, mainly with the girls LOL If they want to touch me I suppose only with a heavy boot:) What is more ridiculous usually I pass all the tests or phone intervievs till they see me in the reality. Even if I'm in the trousers and modest blouse

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

Yes, ALWAYS I consider my defects, so because of that I was a great student an how I said always I pass all tests and intervievs here, but writing or talking by the phone. I don't talk only about English employers and remember I've got a good job here, but i'm looking for something more. And hehe, I'm interpreter here! Don't worry, Italian one. I've started learning English here, I'm sure after this time you could be much better in Polish then me in English. Like I've mentioned I consider my defects. On this forum I try to polish:) my English. I'm still learning, so you don't need to be ironic.

and no, Im not jealous of your looks..

I never have told it nor to you and nor to someone else.

I also consider myself to have both brains and beauty.

I never have told that I'm pretty, because I know de gustibus non est disputandum, but I'm happy you feel like that:) Maybe I learn this confidence one day....

and English of course LOL

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

P.S. ooops, I'm THANKFUL to people on this site who are HELPFUL and OPEN-MINDED, so I thank you all:) However I consider EVERY opinion IF it make sense, even if is antagonistic.

Most educated people welcome migrant workers from all parts and readily accept them as part of the community.. however, with such huge numbers arriving in recent years, many people are worried about the longer-term effects that this might have on our economy/resources.

I understand it, because I try walking in English shoes also. In the same situation I suppose my opinion could be the same.

Yes they are paying tax but the lower the wage the less tax, and this tax does not cover the services which they use, from an economics point of view, yes GB is doing well, as a country we are falling apart.

So because of that I'm looking for what I'm looking for.

"Why on earth shoul foreigners come to UK and get all the good jobs while there is plenty of Brits who need to work themselves?"

Employers look who will be good worker here, not who is British or not, however they are more open to the Brits sometimes..and it's absolutely normal.

Magdushya do you honestly think your english is as good as native speaker's?

Well mine isn't and i know so and i am completely happy with a minor office job that gives me an opportunity of development.

You have not noticed I've mentioned I'm not good in that...YET!:)

give me some terrific well paid job that no other Brit deserves?

Could you quote where I said that?

You couldn't get a great, up to your standards job in your own country

REALLY??? LACK of info. I had a very well paid job in Poland, BUT I'm traveller AND many people through the AGES were travelled LIKE ME to different countries, willing to develope, to know new cultures in the countries where they could gain some experience, knowledge and learn language non through English courses only.

i am completely happy with a minor office job

Like I said de gustibus non est disputandum. What's more I'm not suprised. However is hard to believe you are Polish, I don't know anyone who is talking like you. I!! want to GIVE something from me, I want know better Englishmen, be a FRIEND and PARTNER NOT thankfull slave (I prefer leave it for the masochists), what's more I don't think that English need it. They've got good proffessionals I'm sure they are able to find a good job, but I don't think English are terrified because our fantasic densitst, doctors or engineers coming here. Somebody who is doing minor office job maybe is not good canditate for other positions.

This is not a question to be grateful, but partner in MY opinion. For now I've got some interesting intervievs, I was ALSO invited! to come to Ireland, Google's headquarter, (kind of MAJOR office:) because their head-hunter have found! my details on-line, the same with London- sales executive position 30.000 per year etc etc so I feel appreciated in great Britain, maybe you've got the same opportunities so it's your choice to do minor jobs. It's ok, the world need different people to many other proffesions. I don't want always repeat- I'm looking here not for big money, I could get them even in Poland, Italy, Mars maybe. I'm looking for right people to work with, to feel good in my job, to know better this country and maybe go to see other places or maybe fall in love in UK and stay here? Who knows?. Life is too short to waste it. If somebody like it, ok, but do not make me to to it the same.

UK, Ireland / Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British [273]

Sorry Joey, for me this khm khm debate with you is pointless, even if I start to use Polish and believe me in this I'm sure I'm really but really good. Don't take me wrong, you've got your point of viev, I've got mine. If you didn't understand what I mean so doesn't make sense I will be trying again. Ok, maybe one LAST time, I don't WYMAGAM or ŻĄDAM it, I want to ZAS£UŻYĆ na GODNĄ work. Could somebody help me with the better translation of these words please, better than "deserve"? However, like Sadie, I wish you really good luck for the future, whatever it means to you :)

so I followed them home later and burgled them

oh Sappire, I live in B'ham hehe, You are not only foxy lady but bad girl also :)

Scouse: Spiegl refers to this dish with a pun: pot-au-feu l'hiver poule. The word comes from lobscouse, a sailor's (very likely a Norwegian sailor) dish of stewed meat, vegetables, and ship's biscuit, not unlike Irish stew. Lobscouser became a slang name for a sailor. As a port city, Liverpool became known for this dish. The word Scouser came to refer to a native of Liverpool, the city where they ate scouse, and Scouse referred also to the pronunciations and usages of that speech community. Debates about details continue, but some of the details are fascinating, for instance the fact that in Norway today Lapp Skews (not all that far from labscouse) are stewed strips of reindeer meat.

Can some one tell me if there is a better "definition" of a Scouser?

S is for Sardonic sense of humour
C is for Comedian born and Bred
O is for Only supports one soccer team (but has two to choose from!)
U is for Unswerving love for all things Liverpool
S is for Scouse eater
E is for Eulogizes Liverpool at every opportunity
R is for Rejoices in a good argument

Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Scous*er (noun) First appeared 1959: a native or inhabitant of Liverpool, England.

UK, Ireland / Polish night in an english club? No way....... [51]

many young british visit poland to buy cheap drink & have sex with girls

these guys which I! know are incredibly nice, so shhhh don't ruine my belief that English men are gentelmen....:( and believe me they don't treat Poland like a cheap sex-party club.

good if somebody likes our cheap and tastefull! drinks. :) You are welcome!

They can do anything for money...

Ohhhh, even sleep with English???:) NOOOOOOOOO????:)

I tell you something- if someone is a bijatch or son of the this one is not important which nationality is. I cannot think after your comments every English hates Poles, is rude and agressive. True? So or tell why you are like that or please stop it, it's running to stand still.
