Love / All Polish girls are like that? If you were her would you do the same? [62]

mate, for whatever reason (of which only she knows), she has numerous times voiced her displeasure in the relationship and you have talked her out of it.

you are the guilty one here for not cutting your losses and moving on.

and just like every person where you come from doesnt have the same values and ideals, this polish girl isnt representative of all polish women.

if you're so good at talking her into staying in a relationship you should use those skills to find out the real reason she doesnt want to be with you. not asking a forum.

Life / Surgery in Poland (varicose veins)...anyone with experience/advice? [18]

Thanks KS. I assume you had them 'stripped' or cut out; can I ask why you chose surgery as opposed to other less intrusive methods? And yes, it would be good to get some details of everything: time in hospital, time off work, appearance afterwards, any after effects etc. I'd appreciate that a lot.

i have had bruises on my leg for 4-5 years due to the lack of circulation in my leg, so my gp advised surgery, the other options including natural healing were temporary and didnt really solve the problem but hide it. but beware, the flow is directed down another vein, so in all probablility, 20-40 years down the track they will be back.

it is the simplest operation...i went under around 9.30am and came out around 11.30pm. the operation was only an hour or so and the rest of the hour was recovery. note this is the aussie system, i did have to get into the hospital by 6.30am so there was a lot of waiting. i was eventually discharged between 1pm and 1.30pm.

i could walk (and was encouraged to do so) straight after the surgery. your leg is mummified so walking is a tad difficult.

a week later i went to get the bandages cut off, doctor inspected the leg and said all was okay. there are clots of blood along your leg that take a bit of massage, eventually they disappear.

today, no more veins my still 1-2 incision points where they removed the veins all down my leg that will eventually disappear.

all in all i took a week and a half off, but i also had major sick leave to utilise so had 2-3 days extra recovery.

if i have forgotten anything or you need anything else then let me know.

I spoke to the surgeon after my operation.He said the cause was ( explained in my none medical vocabulary !!) . That basically veins have valves, these get blocked which causes the vein to die due to lack of oxygen. Once dead they expand to over 100 / 150 size thier width and float to top of the skin / surface hence making them look worse than what they really are.

He went on to say that it was nothing to do with diet / lifestyle etc

my gp and surgeon also said it had nothing to do with diet/lifestyle and that it was indeed genetic. in my case, my dad had them and his dad had them.

they explained it as most "ordinary people" have say 10 veins in their legs to carry blood from my groin to my foot and i only had 4-5 veins. therefore, to accomodate all the blood the veins would expand.

History / Serbian contribution to Poland's independance after WWI [70]

this thread is about Poland`s Politics and History. What you suggest- canceletion of this section of forum?

Why don`t you start some futuristic thread then? Why you actualy post in this section?

my very parochial serb mate who you remind me of has said that, not me.

King S, that's what I have been telling him so many times. He does not listen :(

i think crow has the "bang your head against the wall mentality, one day the brick wall will give way and all will agree with him" theory going on.

Australia / SEARCHING FOR POLES LIVING IN MELBOURNE, SYDNEY AND BRISBANE!!!:) [3]

hey marta,

i suggest you look at this site and decide what would interest you: visitvictoria.com

no use someone suggesting "the penguins" or the "the 12 apostles" if you care not for seeing penguins arriving on a beach or 12 huge stones in the water.

bring loads of sun screen as it will be darn hot.

if you need to know anything else drop me a PM.

Study / From India, hotel management courses and studying in Poland [29]

You know its not only mean but sadistic to try and harm someones career opportunity? Let the employee and the employer decide.

yet the "employer" taking advantage of the employee is escaping your moral code???

and if someone works in a english oriented call centre type environment then surely decent english is prerequisite.

maybe when poland starts outsourcing call centres to india you will see the frustration when you have an issue with your credit card/telephone account.

Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]

Even at the height of Gangster Rap there were intelligent noises to be heard

straight outta compton is a classic...niggaz4life just some misogynist crap.

ice cube's albums "amerikkka's most wanted" and "death certificate" are 2 of the best albums of criticisms on society.

and getting into nas, q-tip and common now. not gangster rap but far from the bling, *******, guns and cars pedestrian rap that is peddled by most these days.

Australia / Accommodation in Melbourne [22]

"Fu*k off, we're full"? :)

King Sobieski's question wasn't rhetoric I guess, he's actually given you a very Australian answer. In essence he's telling you "to bugger off if you don't like it". ;)

i wasnt offended nor having a go at markpol. nor implying "fu*k off, we're full"

i just find it strange that people go to the effort of posting such stuff on a blog if they really dont like where they are living.

when i was in scotland for 2 years i didnt run to hatescotland.co.uk and post all the sh1t things about scotland.

What are Bogans?

Bogans are like dumbas*es, people of low intelligence that you don't like. It's a standard word in OZ.

or as my serb mate likes to call them:

Dumb Aussies

you probably work with some gus...we all do.

Life / Getting married in Polska - some advice required about mixing traditions [27]

Nice to see everyone slagging off the UK and trying to say our weddings are crap, for everyones information, we have live bands at our weddings, we also have good food, but by the sounds of it most of the Brits here complaining how bad they you've evidently only ever been to one at some dodgy liberal club with Daves mobile disco and egg and cress butties on the buffet..

maybe it was scotland, but the 2 weddings i went to were both buffet food and pay for your own drinks.

in australia, booze is free (technically not as you are assumed to have bought a equivalent priced gift, around the $100) and sit down served 3 course meal.
