Language / Polish Case System [32]

Sorry I thought you were talking about Polish Casework and reports, of which I was curious, you are obviously talking about the grammatics of the language.

Language / Polish Case System [32]


What is a Polish case system?

Travel / Snow tyres in Poland... legal or reccomended? [25]


Really is this true, when I lived there I was under the impression that it was obligatory, that is why I had them put on despite the fact that I don't do many miles. I was also told that if you have an accident, your fault of not, that the insurance company would not pay out if you did not have snow tyres on. Maybe things have changed.

The statement offered no enlightenment of the reader. It is like saying "I like apples but I don't like pears".

UK, Ireland / Why are we paying child benefit in Poland? [63]

Well forget about that for now, if Britain signs up to the EU changes on inheritance law, I think that child benefit will be the least of their worries!

Life / Why are Polish people so ruthless? [87]


Polish people are not generally like that, maybe it has something to do with you as a person that you bring out the bad side of people.

To make a statement like that is quite unfounded and without an substinance at all.

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]


Yes, well you go into the "underworld "of illegal immigration and asylum seeking", same thing really, and make this statement and I am sure that they would be delighted to accommodate you!

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]


The choice that they have is to stay in their own country, instead of fleeing because of persecution, how is this really going to change the circumstances in their country if they choose to quit, and run from the problem. Some of these rings are highly organised, strange how they are not able to establish and carry out these highly organised rings in their own country!.

I have no problem with polish people, they are not asylum seekers, the majority work hard and integrate very well. we are europeans after all.

The problem I have is with asylum seekers and illegal immigrants as they are a drain on resources, you have already said yourself that they are prohibited from working, what exactly do they contribute to the economy? apart from their "sob stories" which may increase the sales of some down market tabloid.

Life / 3 Things I LOVED about Poland [58]


I think that you can recognise the polish mafia in any establishment. They are the ones that stand back and observe, do not engage in conversation, but people know who they are, and I would much rather have a great time in a bar run by these people than one that is not. They know when a situation is about to arise, or some drunken bum is going to make an A... of himself and he is either a ejected, if he is english or given a stern look if he is polish.

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]


Maybe so,but if you put it into prospective the amount of money that asylum seekers manage to embezzle from the uk, is very very high. Working the benefit system, and "milking it" is very different. "Did we all not grow up with varying degrees of poverty in the uk in the 60's", that did not entitle us to seek asylum in another country, thata was wealthier.

UK, Ireland / What is the british obsession with Polish workers [39]

The huge problem in the uk, and the most expensive are asylum seekers. They offer nothing and give nothing. This is the true problem that should be addressed, they barely speak a word of english, enter the country illegally, and are entitled to almost everything that is available, and quite happy to take it. At least the polish get of their a..... and work which is a "foreign term" to asylum seekers, the word does not enter into their vocabulary, if they can indeed spell the word.

In Krakow there are so many underground caverns, that you do not realise the time. When you come out daylight is beginning, the atmosphere is just fantastic, so different to the uk.

I have also associated with those "shadie characters", but I have never seen any violence, or the level of aggression anywhere near to the level that you see in the uk, even after numerous amount so vodka.

Now come on Southern we all know that this is a " little pork pie". We must be honest with ourselves and accept the truth. I can give you councelling if you wish, free of charge, of course.

UK, Ireland / Can I join the British Royal Marines if I"m a Polish citizen? [17]


No only on reality tv "I'm a Celebrity let me stay in here as long as it takes to resurrect my failing career"

UK, Ireland / Can I join the British Royal Marines if I"m a Polish citizen? [17]

Foreign legion will take you straight away, no questions. asked about nationality or residency forms or background.

UK, Ireland / English tossers give Brits a bad name in Poland [139]


Yeah I have been in that situtation too, only it was with a set of females, whom I went to school with, but get them in "pack" and anything can happen. You are never sure what is going to happen next. I like a good laugh, with the best of people, but some people go too far. I think the key factor is the "pack mentality", where they feel safe and secure in the group that they know, which give them licence to do whatever they like.

Love / My Polish girlfriend checks my mobile phone all the time [70]

There is still trust between people. The above contracts you talk about are precisely the reason why they are taken out. LACK OF TRUST. Maybe they should be called "lack of trust contracts".

Love / My Polish girlfriend checks my mobile phone all the time [70]


I don't think that trust is a complicated word. Infact it is one of the most simplistic.
It simply means that you believe in the reliability of that person, how can this be complicated.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


Sean there is no answer, because nonone has come back from the dead to explain. If we look at things from a scientific viewpoint how was the first life created on earth, how was this possible?

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

Slawek076
Yes I suppose you are right, however, at least we know who they are and don't have several different names, like some cultures, no excuse for drink driving though. Noone can be responsible for a car under the influence, however much they feel they are.

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


The big problem in the uk is asylum seekers (with the great sob story, the bigger the story the better, because basically the british are a set of mugs and love a sob story, just look at reality tv), and the illegal immigrants, who enter the country commit crimes and noone can track them.

Oh and of course if the illegal immigrant happens to be an asylum seeker, well bingo that person will receive every symphathetic vote going, even from that disgruntled taypayer who is paying for him.

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


and don't forget the word "corruption" in your government. No different to the british government, only they don't like that dirty word corruption, they use a more sophisticated word "expenses" same thing really, receiving money to which they are not entitled!

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


This will never happen, because by the time all the illegal immigrants and asylum seekers reach polish " red-tape" the majority will have died of hunger, frostbite or old age, or got so "peeved off" with the timescale that they took the bus back to London to repeat the phrase "you want car wash madam".

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


Sean is this true? I find this a little hard to believe since a british person say with 2 children, and living in the uk would receive approx £130 per month, as child benefit, irrespective of the fact that the father or mother is working. It would seem so unfair if a child residing out of the uk is receiving more benefits each month than an child residing in the uk.

Perhaps someone could clarify the criteria for child benefit to those, non-english residing in the uk and outside the uk.

Food / How is vodka consumed in Poland in bars and restaurants [21]


I had one of these however, it was called "szalony pies" is this the same translation crazy dog?

UK, Ireland / Polish driver dies as car shears in half... [38]


Maregeea you really have to go to the top of the post to get the real picture, you are quoting things that get transposed. Harry did not say this, or anything that resembled this.

Take time and think.

Work / Teaching English in Gliwice. Schools? Can I start after September? [28]


You sound like a very mature and experienced person, your gammar is great, especially for an American. It is hard to believe that you are American with grammar like this and so young, perhaps you went to a private school in America.

Nevermind, maybe you should think about the prison serivce in the Uk, with your experience in the prison service, and I get the "vibes" that you can offer so much to young inmates. Everyone makes mistakes in their lives, and sometimes it is not until we are older and wises that we accept this. I know that you will appreciate this from your experience but even the hardest of criminals will tell you things that they have told noone before. I wish you luck on your journey.

Work / Teaching English in Gliwice. Schools? Can I start after September? [28]


I cannot understand why you want to teach english, why don't you use your qualifications you have gained in the prison service, and teach young offenders, or old offenders for that matter, surely you will be putting your experience to a much better cause, especially when you speak polish.

UK, Ireland / Polish driver dies as car shears in half... [38]


Especially the parents of this person, they must be devastated at the fact their son has died at such an early age. I am suprised that his friends did not try harder to really stop him, but then what do you say to a 26 year old "that they don't already know". Very sad.

I am not out of place in saying this, however, everyone in Poland knows that there is a hugh problem with drinkdriving. It is the norm and was very common, I don't know about now, but before you could bribe your way around the police, if you were caught. It may well have changed.

UK, Ireland / British news: The Poles might be leaving but the prejudice remains [52]


I have yet to see a polish doctor,or a polish dentist or indeed anyone from the polish medical profession falling the street, which the Independent article seems to profess, by the way in which it classes all polish people together.

Do you have animosity towards your polish doctor if you are dying and he supplies you with the painrelievers that you need? do you have animosity towards your polish dentist if you are in severe pain?

For gods sake get real and stop accepting this crap from a supposedly "reputable newspaper"! They feed you with this rubbish, and only the fools subscribe.
