Travel / My trip to Poland - I hated Katowice, loved Krakow, and adored Bielsko [59]

I thought Kraków was like birmingham.

And you know what? I'm not justifying my comment to you again.

Katowice was run-down and old, dingy and dark. It was intimidating and dirty. Overall it was probably the ugliest city I have ever been in.

This is my opinion and I'm done explaining it

i only wanted to talk about my trip :(

Ended up talkin bout all sorts of unrelated stuff...

I'v had good beer experiences in the wetherspoons on Trinity Street, i forget the name... But as a rule I tend to leave before getting too involved on a night out... I dont think Coventry is a safe place to go serious drinking...

I hold my hands up and openly admit I was wrong.

I remember hearing somewhere that Birmingham was Capital of Culture, but apparently we missed out... How did they choose Liverpool over Birmingham?!!?

I hate being wrong...

:(

I suppose my comparison to Birmingham was a bit stupid really...

It's hard to explain what I mean, i feel completely comfortable walking around Birmingham, it's not my home city (that award goes to Wolverhampton) but its pleasant and enjoyable. Which is how I felt in Kraków... I always had something to look at, and for a person who was in a foreign country with hardly any knowledge of the language and culture, I stopped feeling like a foreigner... I felt like I feel when I'm in Birmingham...

I don't expect anyone to understand me, hell even I hardly understand...

Just take my word for it, I loved the city...

polish girls are amazing. I was sitting outside a university in Poland last week and my jaw was permanently on the floor! ... How is it possible for an entire race of women to be gorgeous?

Katowice...

It was an awful first impression... I landed in Kraków and only saw the train stations... The first place i got to see was Katowice...

:s

Travel / My trip to Poland - I hated Katowice, loved Krakow, and adored Bielsko [59]

I had to wait at the train station for 10 minutes for my girlfriend, she warned me before i even got there to stay inside, near the ticket offices.

I'm a big guy and can look after myself, she knows this and was still petrified about me being there on my own...

I found the entire city miserable, dark and intimidating.

I'l be happy enough if i never go back.

i live in Coventry as well, and your mad if you think you can compare it to Birmingham.

Coventry is a tiny place, the only attractions are a cathedral and the transport museum. There is hardly any entertainment, the architecture is abysmal, the houses are ancient, the locals are crazy and if im honest, just plain dangerous.

Birmingham is a metropolis compared to Coventry.

I am NOT going to sit here and bicker about which city is better, I dont need to.

I didnt post this thread to discuss the bad points of english cities. I posted it to discuss the good points of the Polish cities i visited.

Travel / My trip to Poland - I hated Katowice, loved Krakow, and adored Bielsko [59]

Birmingham was England's Capital of Culture, its a beautiful city...

Lets please not turn this thread into an argument about which city is better... I was raised near Birmingham so to me it has the feeling of home to help its cause, im sure its the same with you and Krakow...

And i actually didnt mean that it looked like Birmingham, i meant it FELT like Birmingham. A city which once had a purpose in the economy and is now thriving as a city for tourism. The relaxed way everything seems calm and busy at the same time.

Life / help me find some Polish music I like (Doda genre)... [18]

Hey!!

I'm not 12 years old and I definitely have more than 1 hair on my chest...

Her music is catchy and upbeat. I'm not gonna deny the fact that she is sexy but I listened to the album alot before I even saw a picture of her.

I like the music because it's cheerful and lively

Travel / I booked a hotel in Poland, but it may not even exist!? [11]

I knew something wasnt right...

Travel / I booked a hotel in Poland, but it may not even exist!? [11]

I cant wait to go to Poland

Thanks for your help guys

Life / Katowice: what do you think? [42]

Does anyone know if Szybowcowa Str. is a real street... I think I'v been suckered into paying for a hotel which doesnt exist...

Good job I love Wolves then eh?

A well educated man and a model citizen.

I'm done talking with you, you lack rational arguments to support your case and you reduced this thread to stereotypical racist slurs. You claim to be a law student? Hilarious! That's why the country I love is going to hell, idiots like you.

Now you have managed to **** me off, to the point that I lowered myself to your level and retaliated with an equally pathetic retort.

Have a great life, i hope you get hit by a bus.

If I knew you in real life, and you spoke about my girlfriend like this, rest assured I would break your arm for your troubles.

You claim to be a xenophobe? So did Adolf Hitler!

I sit here, eternally grateful, that the world won't let another xenophobe make decisions and dictate governmental policies.

Oh how I would love to mash your face into the ground you irritating prat!

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

I'm english and a very ugly person, I'm fat and have a huge gap between my front teeth. My Polish girlfriend on the other hand is about 5 foot 4, a size 10, short brown hair and a smile which melts hearts. She is the literal definition of beauty.

I love Polish Girls...

Is that what you assume my girlfriend does for a living? Clean toilets and mop floors? I'm not going to shatter your illusions, you seem to need to believe this tripe.

Can I ask? What do you mean to achieve by coming into this forum and being as openly hostile as you have? Do you think your solo effort will make any difference? Perhaps you just want to **** people off?

Either keep your opinions to your self or start a "we hate everything" forum and rant in there. Keep all you nutters in one place.

You have no place in this forum.


Working together to build a sexier world! I love the ideals, and I hope if me and my lovely girlfriend decide to have children, that they get their looks from their mother!

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]

i don't give a sh1t about political correctness. What i care about is you insulting a race of people who I happen to have a lot of strong ties with.

Maybe you have had bad experiences with the Polish, I on the other hand have had nothing but good experiences.

And as for the Polish paying less tax than the British, i suggest you actually research what your talking about first. My girlfriend is in the exact same position as I am at work, she earns the exact same amount of money and pays THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF TAX!!

The polish work ethic is unlike any I have ever seen, these guys will work their fingers to the bone, consecutive 70 hour weeks and whilst working as hard as they do, they NEVER complain.

These people DESERVE to earn more money than us.

I cannot believe in today's day and age that someone as blatantly racist as you can get away living in this country.

The only satisfaction I get is knowing that you're never going to get what you want, the Polish are here to stay whether you like it or not.

noimmigration...

I'm an englishman, I love my country and am proud of it.

But are you saying i should kick my Polish girlfriend out of the country? And then theres my sister-in-law who is also Polish? Should she be made to leave as well? Oh and what about my niece, who's half Polish? Does she come under the polish ******** that you seem to hate so much?

Do your bed sheets have eye-holes?

You racist pr1ck!
