News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [427]

Im going to get jumped on for this remark, but I can no longer leave this thread alone

Of course Poland is recognised as being part of Europe, at present they are more like the poor relative, but of course that will change.

Progress, insolent teenager, is the engine of humanity. If you don't develop, don't become
richer and more powerful, then and only then you fall into decadence and your fall is only
a matter of time. As long as your power and wealth grow, you're safe.

We only have to look at history to know that this is true, the wealthy countries who strived, progressed, whilst those who did not fell by the wayside.

But progression also brings with a whole host of problems, usually social problems and erosion of core values because "all things shiney" become more important - always a price to pay.

Ive only ever visited Poland as tourist but didnt see any difference in its cities to any in France or Spain or any other european city I have visited (apart from miserable terrible service)...I also hear about how people who live in Poland complain about the public sector..well..after taking 2 hours to get through to the council tax department, I cant really see a difference in our countries...ALL public sector departments are CRAP!

It is, I agree. I am surprised you would love country you were born in less than country of your parents. But is it true to all or you just generalize?

Oh no its not, look at who committed the London bombings, its wasnt 1st generation pakistanis, it was 2nd or 3rd, its hard to tell because they "import" one of the parents from the homeland (yes they do call it that, Ive heard it said)...There is always an influence from "back home" because they dont like to marry someone too westernised...its the same with the Turks in Germany.

Love / ARE POLES ROMANTICS?? [36]

Anyways after hanging out with them on a few occasions I've learned that they are your stereotypically liberal thinking Western Europeans- mostly after casual sexual relationships and anti-family.

Yawn! They were students in a foreign country FFS - they were not thinking about marriage and kids!

I know.. they haven't traveled is why. It's sad and relatively dangerous to not know other cultures, etc. The European criticisim here is usually justified.

Scrappy, it has nothing to do with Europeans, the person that started this thread was born in Canada - most people I know dont make generalisations about the relationships and sexual behaviour of Germans and Swedes or the French or the Spanish...Why? Because most people really couldnt give a $hit thats why, unless its parked on my drive, its not my concern...

UK, Ireland / Its strange that there arent many Poles who live in the UK on this Forum [102]

but i really think the chinese take the cake on that particular issue.

I have to say that I think you're wrong, first generation chinese kids mix very well with English kids and the most mixed partners Ive seen in my city are chinese girls with English guys, they also have flawless regional accents, the only way of telling they are chinese is because of their features. The are 100% westernised in dress and ways. (off topic but I had to mention this)

even if you do follow the gossip on tv and at your workplace a bit too much ;).

Surely you get this in every country? But I agree the topic of conversation amongst a lot of Brits is somewhat limited, I remember the first Christmas my brothers now wife spent with the family and was overwhelmed because of the conversation - its mainly politics and about whose read what!

I'm not justifying their behavior in anyway but "normal" people can start acting "funny" for a reason and "reason" could be as simple as misunderstanding of intension and/or expectations.

I believe Jysty 100% a friend of mine (Polish) moved in with a couple and another guy, the couple are complete tw*ts to him - he's pretty laid back and they do everything possible to make his life miserable - he's been threatened a couple of times by her boyfriend and he is such a nob, he said one time I was round there "I am the Landlord you will do as I say" I was shocked, he collects the rent, nothing more! Pathetic little power trips! The girlfriend left a list as long as my arm (Ive got very long limbs) of things he could do and not do and things he could use and not use! Ive never come across this with English people who share with other people...

Which ever way you look at it, those people that have made an effort to learn and understand English to a level were they can hold a debate on a forum deserve all our respect.

Absolutely, I particularly enjoy the wit displayed by a few of the Polish forum members rather than crudeness..I have to say Im quite guilty of the former, but as I stated, it is rather more to do with lazyness than lack of vocabulary.

back to what you said though, i feel a 100 more times comfortable speaking to Brits

What can I say a woman with impecable taste! :D

Just because people do it all the time doesn’t make it right.

Then tell all the men on this forum that, I get sick of hearing about how rotten English women are, how fat we are how this and that...It happens, its part of life.

You cannot be precise when commenting over the whole population of a nation…it’s ludicrous

It is, but most of the stuff posted on this forum is.

I repeat what I said before, I know what Noreenb wants to say, it’s just the way it’s worded, nothing else.

She said it from her perspective, nothing more, I think everyone would have understood that this was her view and nothing more, if not then they have problems understanding basic English.

The thing I enjoy about listening to Polish people with an excellent grasp of English is, that they use words that a lot of us natives have taken for granted and stopped using, but I also find it quite sad as an English person, because it shows how lazy the English have become and how some are quite inarticulate when faced with an inteligent conversation with someone whose language isnt even English.

News / HUMANE TREATMENT FOR CHRISTMAS CARP in POLAND [55]

My friend keeps saltwater fish.. namely Lionfish.. well they have to eat live feeder fish, goldfish and guppies, etc. He told me that's illegal on cruelty grounds in the UK.

I doubt it, people are allowed to feed snakes with mice, frozen or alive, so I doubt they'd be that bothered about goldfish.

As for carp being kept in small tanks, they are fish who cares? Only fury animals count :D

Or a gerbil, the Asian fellow claimed it was a hamster and was focking proud of it too, it defenitely looked like one.

I want names, dates and a copy of the menu or it didnt happen!

For me, just after two weeks holidays abroad, Poland seemed to be a bit sad country with many sad people in the contrary to (for example) UK.

Trust me the English have similar views when they spend time out of England, I realised how dirty England was when I got back from other Europeans countries, I also notice other things that make me realise what a crap hole England is, but its my crap hole and for and good and bad its my country and I love it.

As for Polish people and forums, I think people are more comfortable when the communicate in their own language, its easier and its what comes natural.

I understand what you want to say but you cannot generalize over a nation.

Why not? People do it all the time. She also said "for me" so she was not being ambiguous she was precise in what she was conveying.

Work / Job Opportunity for Non Polish speakers in Warsaw [27]

Jay24

You still dont get it do you. I couldnt care less about the person being employed in Poland, Id just like to know why you are running an employment agency in Poland who are recruiting for companies in the UK. Its fecked up! Strawberry pickers is one thing, but professional jobs! pff!

Well excuse me for not being up-to-date with a law that came into effect 3 days ago. Doesn't stop you being a sad, lazy, plastic nazi with no mates, does it.

If you read the news you might have heard about it. You are really stupid, honestly, change the record dickforbrains, I have Polish friends, I have a friend who is studying HR, but what chance has she got if some tit keeps bringing in cheap labour.

You're typical of the lazy, unskilled, incompetent bunch of unemployables that Labour's Britain has produced, and the reason you have a bee in your bonnet is because you feel threatened.

Were you dropped on your head? Did you read the bit where I said "there must be lots of educated Polish people living in the UK that could do the job"

Show me the law which state that a UK job must be advertised in the UK. Please refer to the text of that law. Can you? No, you can't, because there isn't one.

You really are a retard.

[i]All vacancies advertised on or after 14 December 2009 must be advertised to settled workers for 28 calendar days:i]

bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers/points/sponsoringmigrants/employingmigrants/residentlabourmarkettest/#header1

Where job vacancies languish unfilled for months.

I very much doubt HR vacancies "languish" unfilled for months, in fact this a myth created by people like you.

Ahem, we're in the EU. It can be done anywhere.

Ahem...You are wrong.

Stuff you, and stuff your placky BNP mates.

LOL another standard response.

What he is saying, he wants to set up a recruitment office in Warsaw to employ Polish people to work in HR in UK based companies.

Recruitment consultants are part of the HR industry

Recruitment consultans work for private companies who supply labour for companies, recruitment for HR professionals or administrators is usually done in the UK and should be done in the UK.

I think you've missed the point as usual.

What point did I miss?

The point where he is bringing more labour in to a country that is shedding workers daily?

recruiting to the UK.

I think you proved the point I was making, dont you?

By the way will the HR people you are employing have their IPD?

No it is not. Moron.

I think you will find that all jobs must be advertised in the UK. If they are setting up shop in Poland and employing Poles to come and work in the UK, they are not doing this, they are in effect steeling jobs, they are not giving a person living in this country the opportunity, there are plenty of educated Poles here, why go to Poland to find someone.

And if 'native' British people got off their lazy asses

Standard response. Where did I write Brits? Have you seen what his recruitment consultant is specialised in - HR - hardly the kind of person who is sat on their arse..

Go into any high street agency in the UK and you will often find they advertise for German, French, Spanish etc, etc speakers for a whole multitude of jobs. This is the same principle.

Thats the point you are missing, they are advertising in the UK for people who are actually living here, not importing more people...there are lots of Polish speaking people in the UK already, why are you setting up a recruitment agency in Poland to recruit people?

In that case why bother yourself with this post.

Because what you are doing is illegal.

Because he's clearly another Brit that BLAMES THE EVIL POLISH FOR TAKING HIS JOB when...well...he wouldn't take the job anyway.

Evidently thats what is happening, by the way, they are recruiting for a HR specialist, I hardly think thats a job that people dont want to do. Im a SHE, not a HE.

Its a recruitment consultant based in Warsaw, working with UK based companies.

Did you actually read the post? It's based in Warsaw. Honestly, what a c0ck.

Yes I read the phucking post you tit. He is looking for a recruitment consultant to work in Poland who will be dealing with companies in the UK, why the phuck do you think that is?

My company are looking for an HR/Recruitment consultant to work in Warsaw.

the role will solely be dealing with a client within the UK market

I couldnt give a flying phuck about the person going to work in Poland, thats one person, its the reason that he is looking for a recruitment consultant!

How about the Poles that you are recruiting in Warsaw for your UK based market? Are they going to be on Polish contracts?

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]

What bull ****.

Abuse is abuse or do you think female to male abuse is fine?

I have already stated its unacceptable for violence by either. But its just quite ironic that some knob like Zimmy to come on here crying about women abusing men...whoops, sorry feminists abusing men...When women have been putting up with this crap for years and in most cases dont talk about it because they are so ashamed or believe its the norm because they've been subjected to it for years.

1.Kicking your ankles ''by accident'' in order to make you move.My answer.If she does this again,I give her a kick as well.
2.Coughing in your face to make you move.My answer:If repeated,i cough with spit on their face.
3.Pushing all over to make you move.My answer:I do not mover no matter how hard they push.Then all their pushing power gets back to them and they stop.Or better:When they start to push I get fast away so they have no support and fall down.
4.Small punching on your back to make you move.Pull your hands to make you move.Once I turned around and punched her the same way she did.She was shocked.

You've dated some classy women is all I can say.

Love / Abuse in relationships (my first Polish girlfriend) [216]

Typical female excuse on your part. When a woman hits a man women ask; "what did he do to make her hit him?" When a man hits a woman then women conversely state, "he is such an abuser". No questions asked.

Its not really an excuse now is it, men have been abusing women for centuries, now just because a few women (certainly not the same numbers of men) give a bloke a slap, we get whining fannies like you crying about men being abused!

womensaid.org.uk/domestic_violence_topic.asp?section=0001000100220036&sectionTitle=Statistics

1 in 4 women in the UK suffer domestic violence Zim, I suppose these are all "feminists"

Once again, your prove my point. So you seem to be unaware that female abusers do it because they can and not because they were abused.

Women hit back out of desparation, women dont just decide to start attacking a man, women are not built that way, they are not wired that way, years or even months of abuse can change a person.

More stats for you Zim:

homeoffice.gov.uk/crime-victims/reducing-crime/domestic-violence

not saying your not a good person, but you have to let go of this vendetta you carry
because its way to much. you do sound like a true woman hater at times

He sounds like a complete bloody nut! We're not women Pattie, we're "feminists" lol :D Zimmy there are shelters for battered men in the UK, we are aware that this happens, but when it starts happening on the same scale as it happens to women, then you can have equal sympathy. By the way if you look at abuse against men, its usually gay couples, so the abuser is actually male!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are they feminists because they're gay??? PMSL!

Life / ANYONE KNOW THE COST OF A MEDICAL OPERATION IN POLSKA..? [28]

As I said - there exists no record of 'registration' in the UK and it's perfectly possible to go completely off-grid to the point where even the government don't know where you are. How can the NHS differentiate between someone who has gone 'underground' and someone who moved abroad, particularly as there's no systematic record kept of entries and exits from the UK? The point is that they can't.

If someone is living abroad they are generally not paying NI or registered with a GP or have a perm address in the UK. As for not knowing who is entering and leaving, you really think the government dont know? Dont worry when the ID cards becomes compulsary, the UK will have exact records of who is entitled and who isnt ;0) Roll on that day!

Hang on a second. If that website is right, then there's a very good possibility that the NHS has been charging people wrongly.

Who knows, who cares, health tourism should be stamped out, its costs British tax payers, i.e. me millions a year.

People should have medical treatment in the country they are living, why is always Britain that gets milked for everything!

The flip side that feminists never, never, never admit.

Yawn! What makes them feminists? You probably dont even know the meaning of that word.

Violence is unacceptable from a man or a woman.

But Zim, have you ever thought for one second why domestic violence against men came about? Do you think that women maybe got sick of being punch bags???? The abused became abusers...sad but true - it has nothing to do with feminism.

WR's chances of getting an op straight away without referal is almost zero. LIR is correct when she stated that they ask for information, GPs are now being asked to charge patients that are not residents for consultantions.

By the way Delph, we have a little thing called a medical number in this country, every patient gets one when they register at their GP, so there are ways of checking if someone doesnt have a right to treatment.
