UK, Ireland / a trip to Dublin at Christmas? [30]

I lived in Dublin for 30 years up until 8 years ago, I found it fine; I do believe things have changed a lot over the last 8 years.

If you want to come to Ireland and want nice friendly people, good craic, go to Galway (the city of tribes) its way relaxed, you can get into pubs, clubs etc without a problem. Its cheaper than Dublin. Weather can still be crap but hell its Ireland.

If you want to know more like where to stay etc let me know

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

Polish men definately sexy and handsome :)

Life / Driving in Poland, Zebra crossings in stupid places? [26]

I am glad to see that the roundabout rules are the same except for the obvious giving way to the vehicles coming from the left/right. Rules are fine, but then culture comes in, and in Ireland its simply "he who dares wins".

Sorry I can imagine the Germans sitting there, but its not as bad as the Americans who are completely cluless and either sit there doing nothing, go the wrong way or cause mayhem by lane hopping, or worse drive around with thier eyes shut. -seriously.

do you have roundabouts in Poland, or are you more American with junctions everywhere?

We have these roundabouts on our motorways - its like Russian roulette on speed.

Love / "All because the lady loves a foreign accent..." [19]

Ta Moko is a very complex issue and I can recommend this link
history-nz.org/maori3.html
(but can not make it a link due to my very bad computer skills) read the mans face and then look at him again - the site shows you an outline of what the ta moko means.

Oh, (going week at the knees) yes ta moko can be on the body too :)

To me she is beautiful, the essential picture of a Moari Woman.

Ta moko rose in interest again during the 60's when black power became active in New Zealand. It became a symbol of the wearers strenght to regain their land, artifacts and human remains taken from them.

The strangest thing is that, when you first meet someone with Ta Moko its all you see when you look at them; yet, I recently painted a picture of my friend who has Ta Moko, and it was my Euopean friend that noticed, I painted him without Ta moko, I had not seen it, I had just seen him. It was the first time I had knowingly seen him without Ta Moko.

I think in Europe we see Ta Moko as tats which hold a whole different meaning here. When my friend comes to Ireland, we find it difficult to eat out, get into a pub and we are always the centre of attention as we are presumed to be up to no good LOL. In new Zealand, no one notices.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread, did I say ta moko is an obsession of mine :)

  Body Ta moko :)

Oh, yes just keep talking to me............

In my opinion there is something in women that attracts them to the man that is different. Some where in our genetics, a voice will say - new blood, better breeding. Similar to the male thing of unknowingly looking at hips and boobs, good breeding stock.

We like different on a very animal instinct level.

I spend a fair bit of time in New Zealand business and pleasure - I cannot stay away from the Moari men, especially the ones with ta moko. I find myself looking at blokes here going mmm a good ta moko and he would be attractive, but on the whole been bored with them? It sounds shallow and I dont have an answer to that, some women just like something different, exciting, challenging?

Though I think men find women who are different threatening?

My last partner was 17 years younger than me, we spend 10 happy years together before he passed away, he was six years older than my son from my first marriage. My latest squeeze is 12 years my junior. I'm not famous, just happy.

The question is does he make you happy, and you him, if the answer is yes, then age should not come into it.

Age really is just a number.

I do wave back at him and smile, I think he might be a bit shy, and my boss hates me talking to any of the lads (dunno).

Gonna make sure I get to talk to him this week, as the boss is away on holiday, and I will flutter the eyes at him again. That is if I dont get a giggling fit thinking about the hands on the hips bit.

Food / Polish Milk, Just not the same [54]


Oh yes, make all my own butter, cheese, youghurt, sour cream, etc I do it from 3 goats that I milk everday. I use an old hand cranked seperator then put the cream in the Kenwood chef and by the time I've cleaned up I have butter, I freeze my surplus. cheese is from the two mornings milking. I also freeze milk to see me through the dry period as I have to borrow a billy every year.

Life / WINKING - A GOOD POLISH SIGN??? [28]

Hi, just stumbled into this site on the web, hope you dont mind me crashing into this thread?

I'm Ecoprincess a name given to me by a group I do voluntary work for in Marine Conservation are.

I live in the North West of Ireland where I run my own smallholding and I work in a local company. I am originally English, well travelled and am now officially Irish having lived here for 27 years. So many interests I couldn't list them all here, I love life, like to live my life to the full.

Thanks for the above information in the thread. There is a a group of Polish men working as drivers where I work and one winks at me, I have never known how to interpret this. I am naive and had no idea what it meant so growing more confused I googled it and landed with you lot. :) When I came to Ireland things were a lot different to how they are now, no one ever offered me any assistance, so I go out of my way the help the Polish Community at work. They all seem to appreciate this and wave at me as they come and go.

So this chap winks at me a lot always smiles and sometimes when we are in a group of other Polish men, he repeatedly winks at me. He also waves at me coming and going from work, if we meet in the warehouse we always catch eyes, and make a point of speaking, he will go out of his way to meet me. This may all sound very teenagerish, but after 20 years in a good relationship I am now widowed for the last 7 years, and well this whole realtionship thing has moved on so much. I can not help but think I may be reading these signs wrongly, and that he is just been friendly and not interested in my romatically.

Ok it would be easy to tear me apart for my niavety, but some constructive help would be useful:
1. is it more than friends hes after.
2. how do I let him know discreetly that I am also interested, what would a Polish woman do next?

thanks to all the postive assitance responces. :)
