Food / what is the best way to skin and cook a rabbit? [60]

Grizzly

mega roadkill. Likely to be more damage to the car than the bear:)

How long does it take the average family to eat a grizzly? Or do you throw a BBQ for all your friend?:)

Life / Are there any Polish buddhists? [43]

although it's commonly seen as a religion, it actually isn't

You are of course absolutely correct. Sloppy language on my part.

Love / Why some of the polish girls look so cold but they are not? [16]

To repeat myself (not unknown) I think we smile to be polite in the UK whereas Polish people tend, in my limited experience, to smile when they are amused. They also tend to be a little more reserved and formal when first meeting someone. But when the smiles come they are warm and genuine. None of that 'have a nice day and give me a tip' smiling that you sometimes (and I repeat) sometimes get in the US for example.

Statstical note: The conclusions drawn are from a small sample and may not be statistically significant.

News / GERMAN PSYCHOPATHS INSULTING POLISH PEOPLE [95]

It would have been much more effective to break him with well thought out responses backed by facts and watch him squirm.

IMHO, this tends not to work very quickly with people of his ilk. The quickest way to rid us of their inflammatory commnets would be to just ignore every comment until they get bored and go away. Rising to the bait just prolongs the problem.

Very public spirited of you Pingwin. Well done. And it is great when you're sober and your friends are plastered.

UK, Ireland / Polish Migrants makes room for '20 to a house [59]

There is no way you are British!!.......

I don't know, the spelling and grammar are awful. Could well be a product of an inner city state school. Let's give him the Citizenship test to find out!

UK, Ireland / Polish Migrants makes room for '20 to a house [59]

It's a world wide thing for young people travelling. Why waste cash on accomodation when you can be saving it or enjoying yourself. Last I hear there were 10 people in my son's house in Canada when it's only supposed to accomodate 6.

As for the Aussies slagging. Good idea - I do it all the time at work.

Last I heard South Kensington was Australia's third largest city:)

Life / Smingus-Dyngus - Polish tradition [155]

Why don't the girls soak the boys in water? Whatever happened to equality and all that?

I've just been attacked by a girl with a PRESSURE WASHER. That's not equality, I just used a bucket of water. Fight fair ladies:) :) :)

UK, Ireland / Polish girls 'too pretty' for British schools [150]

As for fashion

As I head to the goal of total enlightenment, only one question remains to be answered... what is with Polish women and pointy shoes???

Answers on a postcard please

UK, Ireland / Polish girls 'too pretty' for British schools [150]

they all have those "pimp" pointy toes, or worse still the point and flat end.

Yeh. I've got size 12 feet. The last thing I need is another B****y two inches on the length (of the shoes, wash your mouths out). I look like a clown already. Don't want to make it look worse.

Love / Nail Polish on men!!!!!!!! [30]

I listened to Roxy Music and never painted my nails, neither beofre nor after

Wise Lady:) You avoided the hallucinagenic effects of nail varnish remover.

Love is the drug..Im just a slave to love and need to dance away the heartache on Virgina Plain

I'm impressed - go to the album stories thread and cut n paste:)

Real Estate / Poland top overseas property hotspot [29]

from the Poland real estate bubble did it 10-15 ago

Actually the best time to have bought it was when the negotiations for EU membership started in earnest and that wasn't 10-15 years ago! Don't forget how difficult it was to buy in then either. You can't argue that Poland is not a good market. Every friggin survey you can google will tell you that.

Travel / Warsaw - a good place to meet young Polish girls? [20]

Warsaw - a good place to meet young Polish girls?

Student discos. That's where most of my younger colleagues used to go. There was one called Park I think.

how about bars Bolek and Lolek

Which was the one in the park? Or was that another name that sounded similar.? Good sausages I recall. Oh and awful live bands. Apart from the night I ended up playing there when the lead guitarist fell off the stage ! That was a good music night.

News / Abortion - how is the Polish government going to deal with this issue? [273]

My father is almost 80 and he cooks and cleans by himself because my mother is no longer there. He doesn't miss her cleaning or cooking, he misses her company.

I understand miranda. It was a bit thoughtless of me to stereotype for the sake of a cheap laugh. Sorry :(

UK, Ireland / The Welsh Language [14]

Yep. On average Welsh takes up 15% extra character space. It's just screwed up a computer system design I'm working on.
