News / What needs to happen in the world so that Poland and Russia form alliance? [297]

On another note here. How close in similaries are the British to the Germans. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hear everyone call, but just think about it. I think the British and the Germans are very much alike. We have the same little routines and customs, we really do like to stick to rules and regulations, we are an oppressed nation, both countries extremely wealthy. We are a perfect match actually. Any other opinions?

UK, Ireland / England, Dirty, Expensive and a dangerous place to live? [205]

New Zealand looks and sounds great but expensive too, Australia, nah i could never live there as a Pomm. Ive worked with many Aussies and i dont really see eye to eye with them personally.

Oh I like the Aussies, they do call a "spade a spade" and you know where you stand with them, probably coming from the North East of England I prefer this approach than the "behind the scenes" commentary, which sometime occurs in other countries.

New Zealand is also a great place, a bit underpopulated I think though, beautiful scenery but I cannot help but think ,for younger people they will get a bit bored. One of the reason they move to London ,take temproary bar work, is because they are young and see another side of life.

M-G (tsk)

Mr Mgee I am interested to know, why at the end of your comments you speak in the 3rd person. It is almost like you, as "mgee ",are detaching yourself from the comment. Please explain.

Travel / Question about Wizz air flights to Katowice/Kraków... [20]

I have flown with Wizz air the chances are you will be flying to Katowice and then joining a bus which will take you to Krakow (a 1 hours journey). Why not get your inlaws to pick you up at Katowice is is only 30 mins on the motorway, however, make sure when you check in. I have never heard of a ticket which states krakow/katowice, it is either one or the other.

Life / Car stereo thieves - is this a problem in Poland? [23]

Maybe forget about getting a sterio in the car, simply get a hand held device then you can play loud music, and have no need the park, thus illiminating the prospects of you having to park your car and have your new sterio stolen. Problem solved I think.

UK, Ireland / Poland Flying the Flag at Gay Pride in Manchester [75]

I heard that the Uk was becoming a haven for Polish homosexuals.

I believe the "political correct term" is peace love and understanding, fly a rainbow flag and it gets you into the EU, free of charge the world has gone "pear shaped" in my opinion"!

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

You can't say that and then go on to spout your belief, this is a public forum and I have as much right to post my opinion on here as you do.

I did not say that, you can say whatever you like, like anyone else but the end result is going to be deadlock. You have your opinion and I have my opinion, no leeway ends in deadlock. Therefore there is no point of furthering this discussion, it will only lead to bad feeling unless new material can be produced to the contrary.

Sean this is why I said agree to disagree. You have your beliefs other people have their beliefs. Just call it a day, because everyone could debate until they are "blue in the face" and it will not change anything.

Travel / The most overrated or disappointing places to visit in Poland? [13]

I think Sopot is a great place for young people and families, the beach is great you can walk to Gydinia along the coastline, its a small place and really really safe. I like Sopot very much. If you want Mcdonalds and the daily mail on every corner, coupled with English breakfast in every cafe, well this might not be the place for everyone.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

After Paintballing, after the BBQ we were scullin pints in Alchemia, the bar, and some how it came up that I am an Atheist and you said you'd have it out with me on PF for that:)

Why don't you both just agree to disagree. Nobody knows what is on the otherside until you die and therefore noone can relate this back.

I personally believe that there is something on the otherside, not the afterlife, but your spirit lives on. When people die in. hopitals they open the windows the let the spirit out, even in life it is the spirit of a person that makes them who they are, not the body.

Genealogy / Looking for an old friend, Krzysztof Koziołkiewicz [6]

There was a time many years ago that I lived in Germany and had the greatest of fortunes to have made some fantastic friends from Poland while I was there

Oh what a beautiful story, I really hope that you can find him. It is awful when you have lost contact with someone that you still think about. Best of luck.

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

Let's not forget the "Jubilat experience". It's like a game of chinese checkers. First the cashier scans all the items, and then, and not until then, when the bill comes to 100zl or more are you allowed a free white plastic bag, normally used for putting inside

foot bins.

You may then proceed to pack your things at a rate of 150 per minute, as the rest of the people are waiting to pack their things. It is only at the end of the transaction that you are 100% sure that you are entitled to a free bag, and only one.

No free bags are given out prior to the transaction taking place.

The pub itself is pretty old (15th C wooden framework outside) and serves some pretty decent ale

Oh I just had a passing thought whilst trying to visualise this building and Wild cop, World Cup Wyle cap just sprung to mind, with a mixture of black and white wood. a slight incline. I don't know if this means anything

Are you sure it was the picture or the actual price per night of the hotel?

Love / Is Polish girls' beauty a myth? [78]

In Poland the looks of most girls are in the middle. This becomes deceptive of course, and make some needy foreign guys spread the word that all Polish girls are hot, when in fact all (most) are average, and the average slightly above the average of other countries

I think that many polish girls dress extremely smart, and the majority have lovely figures. They always seem to take the time to present themselves well and look after themselves.

I am not sure about being beautiful, many do not have the natural facial features, otherwise they would be snapped up by well-known model agencies straight away. Yes before anyone says beauty is made up of many things and not just natural good looks, I agree and that develops with time, however, for someone to be stunning it is the impression one gets from an immediate glance. I don't think they are naturally stunning.

I also think that girls in England are far too overweight, far too overweight to look extremely attractive, and therefore they wear clothes to compensate for this, which appear ridiculous, if of course they wear any. Coupled with that the drink culture in the uk is out of control. It appears to be a total reverse situation ,where it was the men who drank everyone under the table it is the men who dance around the handbags and the women who swear and drink pints at the bar, is it any wonder that when they go off on a trip abroad to somewhere like Poland they are in heaven, because many of the younger generation have not seen this time of class in their lives. They see women behaving as women and they go into total shock.

I have to share a little story, sorry for the long post. On a flight back from Krakow I overheard one stag-nighter saying to his friend, he had obviously got the girls name and mobile number. "It took me a whole day to try and pronounce her surname", understandable.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

Something else a few days after i met my wife she told me about a fortune teller she met years before hand, so far everything has come true right up to the birth of our baby girl

A spiritualist, not the ones that read from the tarrat cards, the ones that actually get the messages from the dead, even said the name of my son. She did not know myself or my family from adam, so I believe that there are people who can really contact and mediate with he dead.

people do things and don't admit to them" (or forget they did them)

Well maybe so if they were sleepwalking, I have heard of this. and of people doing strange things, like opening and locking doors, and walking down the street in pyjamas.

winds blow things around; people

Yes but surely it would have to take one hell of a strong wind to blow a heavy chair infront of the tv set, indoors at that. Infact unless it was a tornedo I can't see how this would happen.

I think that you have been studying the wrong psychic books, maybe you should change your material because I don't think the ones you are reading are working that well.

I have studied various books in this issue. However... are you an introvert?

No I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert. I am however a very open person, meaning that I can strike up conversations with almost everyone, whether I know them or not.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

I have a question for misingfromheaven. I have been told by a few mediums that I have psychic powers. For example when I walk into houses I can feel the atmosphere in the house, almost straight away. Sometimes before something has happened, I have felt the stress, it is a feeling hard to explain, only to someone who understands, its like taking on the stress before it happens,the build up if you like. I pick up on atmospheres almost immediately, even if it is the first time I have met these people. Even if the person appears to be extremely nice on the outside, something seems to warn me and a dreadful feeling comes over me, I become quite nervous inside unable to relax.

I would be grateful if you could explain this from a mediums point of view, or any one else who could provide imput. I have also had many premonitions, sometimes hours before they happen, or sometimes minutes before they happen.

Life / How to obtain EHIC (European Health Insurance Card,) in Poland? [41]

Well you just telephone and one is issued, usually within a few days. They do not tell you anything about not being accepted in private clinics abroad, so naturally people think that it covers them for everything at anytime.

Life / How to obtain EHIC (European Health Insurance Card,) in Poland? [41]

And the EHIC website is pretty clear:

Pierogi, nobody looks at the website, once they have these cards in their hands they believe they are invincible. It is almost like a passport to them. Why these cards were introduced is a mystery, maybe to make the government look good. The majority of people in the uk believe that they do not need insurance once they have one of these E11 cards.

People , before these cards were introduced were perfectly happy to take out insurance with the tour operators, it was part and parcel of the holiday. Now they wave the card around, like it is their passport to europe.

Life / How to obtain EHIC (European Health Insurance Card,) in Poland? [41]

The E11 card is absolute crap. People go on holiday with these cards believing they are fully covered for every eventuality. The minute there is any cost involved, the card goes down the drain and the credit card take presidence over everything.

If you have to use the E11 card out of necessity you will be shipped off to the shitiest hospital imaginable, equivalent to the national health in the uk!
