UK, Ireland / English, Irish, Scots: They're All One, Genes Suggest [69]


Tigers eats Monkey, unless something artifical intervens.
Similarly, until the industrial revolution people lived and died within a few miles of where they were born. Except in very define events such as invasions or migrations.

Wrong.
You are saying that your parentage has no connection to the language you speak?
People born in Poland randomly start speaking English or Chinese?

Anyone who quotes wikipedia a the pure source of knowledge is is evident fool. You also don't understand genetics and its relation to lanuage.

You also haven't read the article.

Interesting that English is not a germanic language and was spoke before the Romans got here

Law / Tax on import goods to Poland [8]

I bet 50 was a UPS processing fee. It depends what teh goods are different goods get different %age .

Its better to use the normal postal system (in the UK anyway) because major courier companies always collect customs/VAT whereas in the normal postal system, customs let lots of goods in free. Supplier has to mark down value of goods for it this to happen

It MIGHT be the same in Poland.

Law / Tax on import goods to Poland [8]

VAT is standard in EU countries. Anywhere from 15-22%. UK its 17.5% on all goods (not food, books childrens clothing), buying from a EU country will show the VAT included.

On top of that there are customs duties.

So its not just Poland.

UK, Ireland / Wages - UK and Ireland. [26]

Looking in a London Polish magazine (Cooltura) london rent seems to be £60-70 average. Presumably shared.


A friend I know lost her job as doctor (consultant). Council are going to pay her £1900 month rent in Chelsea. Gone from £70K a year to £56 jobseekers allowance.

A similar policy exist in the UK. groups of more than 2 children are not allowed to congregate in certain exclusion area's. Its effective.

Love / What kind of person did your parents or guardians tell you to find? [38]

Judging from the few personal ads I can read before I succumb to hysterics, I think most women's ideal man can be summarised as Prince William. Anything less that a perfect man who is extremely rich and under constant guard to prevent him ever cheating, is just not good enough.

Why on earth women think that 'Prince Charming' will be scanning the internet for missing diamonds, instead of beating them off with a Shi*** stick in real life.

Not surprisingly I've never attempted to reply to personal ads and the world is full of miserable single women in their thirties.

UK, Ireland / My fellow brits here - are "traitors" by not dating English girls? [103]

Its jealousy, pure and simple. Think how you would react if a woman you fancied started chatting up good looking men (ok, you are probably used to it). Women are very sensitive and don't have to put up with that sort of thing very often, so they will use any tool in their book to fight back.

I had an ex-girlfriend pull a knife on another girl because she was jealous.

Lee, where is this club?

Its true that 40% of American loses in WW2 were Blue-on-Blue. I.e. caused by the Americans themselves, a figure that hasn't got much better today.

Love / I had a Polish female friend. Horror in my mind... [79]

Maybe she will in future. But thats what freedom is all about - making your own mistakes.

Travel / Anyone been to Zakopane? [36]

Ok, Zakopane is not the best ski destination but I accept that and view it as an holiday destination for more than just skiing. My thinking is that it can be a second skiing holiday on the sly - married guys can tell their wives that is a Christmas mountain retreat holiday and get a few days skiing in and leave the women shopping or something.

Hell, anything to get to the mountains.

Love / I had a Polish female friend. Horror in my mind... [79]

The US has a problem with child abuse but that is largely because the country is so big. This woman comes from a small town where everybody knows each other. The vast majority of child abuse IS from family members.

I've spoke to quite a few women who's idea of a perfect man comes from fathers or brothers, not surprising that they become the model of a perfect man if that's the main contact they have when growing up. America is not a model for the rest of the world, I think.

Love / I had a Polish female friend. Horror in my mind... [79]


You do realise that most sexual abuse is done by a close family member and its not a nice accusation to make.
Besides its also an unfounded conclusion based very skimpy knowledge of the woman. A lot of women become promiscuous at some point in their life. I think its best to assume that she likes sex rather that psychoanalysing her from afar.

The Russians defeated the Nazi's. If America had not got involved they would have swept up all the way to the English Channel and stopped there. America involvement in WW2 was minimal. It only got involved because if USSR had defeated the Nazi's, communism would rule the world today. And the the USA would not have the technological advantage that it was give by Britain (Radar, anti-biotics, sonar, asdic, jet engine) and Germany (rocket technology).

American abandoned Britain and Europe for two years and sold Poland down the river for 60.

Churchill was the only one who wanted to help the Poles. The Americans sold Poland down the river, they were the only ones who could stand up to Russia, and they didn't.

Apparently not for some people.

Got me too, as he/she sounds like someone broken hearted.

A certain percentage of woman are, and good for them. You cannot get emotionally attached to someone who is, unless you are able to satisfy their needs sexually. I spent 6months with one, great sex, 2-3 times a day, but it was absolutely crazy and an emotional drain.

UK, Ireland / Irish Thoughts on Britain and the British and vice versa [53]


Thats the reason why there was no simply answer, the 'Brits' as you call them were really a different country from the English, Welsh and Scots. They have been there for so long they they have their own separate identity. Mainland UK public really did and does not want to keep N.Ireland - it has no purpose, financial or patriotic and a lot of downsides. It could be said that the Northern Ireland conflict was a Irish Civil war based on religion. The British Government tried giving the country away, but the Loyalists (that is Loyal to the British) wouldn't have it. Crazy and impossible.

Or she could simply be enjoying sex. Hard as it may seem, she may get better sex, more intersting conversation and more fun from an older man. Its quite amusing how younger guys think they always have an advantage based purely on their age.

As for 9 partners at the age of 19, well you have no way of judging what women get up to, women will lie about their past and do whatever they can get away with. Move away from friends and family and the mice will play.

UK, Ireland / Second wave of Polish Immigration to the UK [8]

The Poles who stayed after the war had no choice. Some settles in East Africa, Argentina and Aberdeen. Those I know from Divine Mercy College were either born or grew up in these places.

Modern Poles mainly want to work and return home it would seem, however at least 10% will settle at a guess. I hope so.

Travel / Anyone been to Zakopane? [36]

Thanks ogorek

If anyone has more photos, please feel free to post them here. Is there any possibility for Off-Piste. How about Skidoo driven off piste skiing (don't know if thats even possible in the Alps but it must be cheaper than Heli-skiing).
