Love / How to gain the attention of a Polish man? [71]



So you have something in common and a topic of converstation.


I would just ask. You are going to chat while he is doing your tattoo, so I think it would be a normal to ask certain questions which will let you know if he is taken or not.


He may have assumed he was your boyfriend.


dont think you should worry about that.


relax, have fun and be yourself....nothing to lose :) go for it!!!

Love / Techniques for meeting Polish girls [68]

To the OP, just be yourself and be confident (not cocky), there is nothing more attractive than that.

Life / More Polish supermarket griping...this time about customers [29]

lol.... Im going to try this one :)

It really annoys my friend if someone sits beside her on the bus where there are plenty of vacant seats. She starts talking to herself and twitching or scratching - it usually works - but I'm not going to try that one when I'm waiting in Tesco.

USA, Canada / America's Got Talents Judges kicked the Polish Triplet sisters.. [37]

The Hoff - what a talent! :) lol

Life / More Polish supermarket griping...this time about customers [29]


I think it has happened to me once.

Number one also an issue here too.

I dont know about Poland (yet) but it really annoys me when you are waiting in line and the person behind you is almost lying on top of you. Back off!!!!! it does not mean the line will move any faster!!!

UK, Ireland / Any Irish have child with Polish partners? [44]


Definitely, there are many children of different nationalities in schools in Ireland. My friend is a primary school teacher and her class is a mixture of all nationalities, she says that all the children get on really well.


I don't think so. Its not that different.

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]


I would not say that, just think about how you can apply your skills in different ways to work for you.

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

I don't get there till 15th September but I will be there until next year so lots of time :) there goes my diet :)

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]


I'll check it out, you won me over with the mention of cake :)

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

hey Dunc,

Im moving to Bydgoszcz in September. When I decided to move I was flexible about where to live. I tried every multi national company I could find but without any luck :(

I then decided to give teaching a go, I had given private lessons to exam students but that was about it, no other experience. I completed a CELTA course and while it's quite demanding I really enjoyed it. I think teaching is a good way to start, once you are there and settled you could then start to look at other options. What do you do at present?

Also I don't speak Polish, I have been taking lessons but as you will read on here, it will take more that a few lessons, for me the best way to learn is to be surrounded by the language.

Love / What are your views (or Polish views) on abortion? [102]

Abortion is not just about being married or not, I know of married couples who have had abortions.

Having a child requires a person to be responsible and to be able to provide an adequate life for that child - where there is support and security for that child.

Making abortion illegal will not make it go away, it will just push desperate people to do desperate things. Since when has forbidding anything meant it doesn't happen?

I am not against abortion. I believe it is a personal choice but it should not be abused.

Love / What are your views (or Polish views) on abortion? [102]


But if they become single mothers the state will also have to support them and over a longer period of time.....maybe this suits government?

Love / What are your views (or Polish views) on abortion? [102]


Married couples also choose abortion.

Love / What are your views (or Polish views) on abortion? [102]


oh please and the people who teach this faith - Catholic priests - abusing young boys and having children with their housemaids!!! Great example

Love / What are your views (or Polish views) on abortion? [102]


and the men were happy enough to take advantage ;)


Some are just children themselves and not mature.

look how many babies and young children are being abused and neglected and even murdered because somebody became a parent when they should not have.

I think it would be better if focus was on prevention or support, but in life not everything works like that.

Love / Polish boys - are they handsome? [46]


Lucky for me I know a few :)

Love / Polish boys - are they handsome? [46]


yes I think so.

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]


I speak no other languages (ok whatever Irish and French I learned at school and I'm learning Polish now) but I feel it is important to know as many languages as possible. It opens up more opportunities - trade and business is global and I dont think any language is not benefical to have when it can be used for such opportunities. I may not be as educated as you or speak many languages but I don't feel this makes my opinion any less valid but then I am just one of those normal average Irish citizens who is not happy with our situation but I see where the blame lies.

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]


What am I doing to change it???? having an open mind and willing to accept the change that is needed, having my wages cut,paying levies, services decreased, - what are you doing? You want Ireland to be a little Island all by itself and you think that will slove the ****? How do you see your ideas improving Ireland?


How will that help all the children, who when they are old enough will leave this country? I agree we need to keep the language alive, but saying it is of use?

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]


I mean its good for children to learn languages such as Polish for example....it may be more of a benefit to them in the future.

UK, Ireland / Irish Primary schools to teach Polish [223]

After the report today An bord snip núa will make sure some of the children most in need of education will be at a disadvantaged....

This country is sinking and sinking fast!!!! It's a sorry state and the only people to blame is Government...

We need to think outside the box because as a country by itself Ireland is finished!

Life / why do People in Poland speak so quietly? [23]

Oh and on drive through ATMs, I was in UK a while back and at a McDonalds drive through there was an ATM on the way in. Good or bad idea, I'm not sure.

Life / why do People in Poland speak so quietly? [23]


When I'm speaking with my Polish friends I usually have to raise my voice if I want to be heard, they all seem to speak so loud, but then I speak quietly.

Think it depends on what part of Ireland you are from, my friend is from Wexford/Carlow area and I can't hear or understand a word he says!

Life / Life in Bydgoszcz [39]

A lot of mixed replies above :-?

Finally, I am moving to Poland and to Bydgoszcz. Anyone else just recently moved there? I'm moving early September. Excited and nervous!!!! :)

UK, Ireland / Polish man sought after murder of Irish man! [36]


so someone who wants to kill, will kill, regardless....

You don't comment on the second story? I can find more for you?

UK, Ireland / Polish man sought after murder of Irish man! [36]


mmmm probabaly because it would promote racism, nationality has nothing to do with the person who committed the crime, a criminal is a criminal wherever they are and wherever they are from.

"Irish Times.com"
A man has been arrested in Dublin this morning in connection with the fatal stabbing of a Polish man in April last year.

Robert Kwiatkowski (33) died after he received a serious stab wound to the chest on April 20th, 2007 at the Waterville apartment complex in Blanchardstown.

Polish man burned for cans of beer
A Polish man who suffered serious burns in a random attack was targeted because he refused to hand over cans of beer to his attackers, it has emerged.The 35-year-old was walking along the Dock Road area of Limerick city at about 2am last Sunday when a car with three males inside pulled up and one of them asked him for a cigarette.

It does not just go one way you know! You can also read horrific stories of people of all nationalities committing crimes here....You are just focusing one aspect....problems like this, our economy, unemployment, etc happen for lots of reasons and not because there are Polish people living in our country.

Work / Tips of English Teacher interviews [6]

Thanks guys :)

My interviews are for schools in Bydgoszcz and Szczecin. I didn't expect to get interviews so quickly so I feel a little bit under prepared.

UK, Ireland / Modern Plantation for Poles in Ireland [352]

[quote=RevokeNice]50,000(204 euro a week plus other assorted benefits) Poles on the dole here. 3,000 Polish families claiming rent allowance.

Knife crime is rife among the Polish community, every couple of weeks Poles murder Poles after a house party at the weekend.

Poles are our biggest ethnic group on welfare, again it does not break down fraud by nationality. Lets just say that a lot of the Poles emigrating here are not your average decent Pole you may find in Poland.

You can not claim welfare unless you have worked for a period of time and paid into the state.....therefore they have the right to the benefits available.

Every couple of weeks there is a murder at house party.....where is the evidence of this?

Do you have a problem with the Irish who fraud the system? I think you should have a problem with anyone who frauds the welfare system. Some people never bother to work a day in their life, Irish, and can claim welfare but you are ok to support these people? I think its worse.
