Life / Pre Paid Visa cards [27]

You cant use a debit card in many hotels, car rental agencies,cruise ships for your incidentals/reservations

Really? I've been very lucky then. Never had a Visa debit card refused anywhere in the world. Now Maestro was a different problem!

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish immigrant in the UK. Ch. 2 - Stress [63]

Christmas actually means something in Poland. In the UK it's just an excuse to drink and shop.

True.... but so is March 10th, April 13th, August 5th and all other days except January1st when your New Year's resolution is to give up drinking and shopping;)

Edit - scratch my wife from January 1st (shopping I meant, it's a compulsive shoes disorder you see)

Can we have a wip round so we can send this miserable kant back to Poland?

Who me?.... Please don't send me there. There's a price on my head in Bar Nobo. I want assylum in the UK;)

History / Matters of Propaganda...Or: how was the West portrayed in Poland? [150]

My mates were selling bits of the wall across the road to people as "a piece of historically importance" and "it will get more valuable with age".

I might have been one of the suckers;)

I have bits of the Berlin Wall in my patio amongst the York Stone.

UK, Ireland / Legally changing my Polish name [28]

I fully agree that you should not change your name. Just carry a block of 4 by 2 timber around with you and every time one of us dumbo Brits mispronounces your name just give us a wack around the head. We will soon learn the correct pronunciation;)

Keep the name please

News / BNP far right in Poland [116]

All politicians and religious leaders are manipulative, self serving control freaks that should be brought to account,,,, Power to the people (at least to those who can string words into sentences)

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

Just reading the newspaper today that claims that Russia carried out a simulated tactical invasion of Poland recently which included the use of field based nuclear weapons. Doesn't sound too neighbourly to me!

News / Poland is the most friendly neighbor of Ukraine and Russia - Ukrainian poll ... [132]

Well, that's a far cry from excercising nuclear attacks on a NATO member...

That is an absolutely NO GO and would be over all international papers by now not to mention diplomatical rows!

All of the nuclear powers simulate the usage of field based so called 'tactcical' nuclear weapons BB but usually not in the simulation of an attack on a particular country!

UK, Ireland / Why do Poles come to England? [514]

All EU citizens have the right to stay and work in the UK - end of story. The reasons they choose to do are varied and quite frankly their decision. Don't like it? Form a political party to amend Eu rules or take us out of the EU.
