SeanBM - Amazing haha
Ahhhh sounds like our house in the East of Poland... terrible in the winter but amazing in the summer.... Last time we had 1 ton of coal which lasts us a while (We are rarely there) which wasnt that expensive, We have a friend who bought a van load of scrap wood for 150zl and he cut it all up... everything from old window frames to broken Ikea furniture! He said it will last him a most of winter.

UK, Ireland / Why do Poles come to England? [514]
In all fairness the British didnt worry about all the industrial jobs before the "Credit Crunch" when all of a sudden there wasnt enough work to go around... All the Polish i knew worked very hard and paid lots of tax and NI......
It annoys me when fellow British people insault the Polish for "taking jobs" most of the people who moan about it rarely work an spent most their time claming loads of benifts them selfs.
Many British have spent most there life living off the system, free houses free car and plenty of tax payers money and have done nothing.... given nothing to the sysem apart from there 5 kids bleading there own kind.
With out the Polsh people, Britian may be evan more in the shiettttt
when they work and pay taxes they should be entilted to the same benefits as the rest.

UK, Ireland / Britain's bad teeth [77]
I had some dental work done in the UK a few months ago.... which i just had redone in Poland.... my fillings in the UK cost £45 each and didnt last a year.... here i had then done for 100zl each in a nice dentist!, i could have had it done cheaper if i didnt want anesthetic..... (stupid question to ask me)
I had a tooth for which all was left was the 2roots.. my dentist in the UK would not do anything with it as it was not causing problems and then when i did i would have to go to the dental hospital.... in Poland 1 injection and 20min later all sorted for a reasonable 80zl with no pain what so ever!
Genrally i think British denists just can't be bothed anymore... lazy, rubish and over-priced dental work!

Delpi recommended him.. really cheap, good service, he moved our 42in TV plus a box full of stuff for £35.. although if u know someone who speaks Polish, get them to call him as his english isnt great (Thats what he said anyhow)
Will probably work out cheaper than driving a van here your self!

I think your American because you use oz's which is 28ml as were in the UK we use 25ml's as 1 shot.
To be honest i spent 4 years writing cocktail menus and manageing cocktal bars so i get really funny with alcohol based things! lol
I nearly agree! although i would make a rum runner:
37.5ml Havana rum
12.5ml Creme de Mure
25ml Creme de banane
half a lime juiced
50ml pineapple juice
12.5ml grenadine (sunk)
OK to be honest the best of all time is just a simple Cuba Libra
50ml Havana 7yr
half a lime juiced
topped with coke
Im drinking Havana Club - from Cuba rite now!
