UK, Ireland / Do Polish immigrants wish to stay in UK - long term? [92]


Ermm yeah since our economy has picked tremendiously after we got re-united no problem at all.

Anyway, personally I think the majority will go home or elsewhere at some point. I too came to Ireland from Germany for the job not for the country itself (although i like it here). For me (and I assume for most other human beeings) it is about making money and progress my career. If i ever feel like I can do that in a better, quicker way elsewhere I'm off. Now some people think I'm crazy but I actually feel that I can earn better wages and progress my career in Poland.

I agree, "Glasgow with Style" is a joke. Go north or venture ten miles towards west where you'll find a neat little town they call Paisley :-)

UK, Ireland / Polish doctors fly over just to work in the UK [15]

This isnt a new thing. I guess they must have run out of stories so they picked up on this issue again.
There was a really interesting programme on the bbc about young british doctors who are well underpaid and school leavers not being interested in medicine due to the fact they can earn more in other professions. There have been german doctors working in NHS hospitals one and off for years and same for south africans.

I take it that when you go out and one of your friends points out that stud that just walked in to the door all you have in mind is what his personality would be like and what nice and interesting topics you could talk about.

Funny how its ok for woman to look at and talk about a mans bum but not the other way around .........

Of course :-)

Polonia / German nation - degradation or just deviation? Your opinions? [66]


You are indeed confused. Russians who live in Estonia are of course Russian however Estonians (is that what you call them???) arent. Austrians are not Germans because they speak the same language. I suggest you stay away from Scotland, Wales and Ireland in case you think that theyre english giving they speak the language.

I am curious to know which "nation" you think the Swiss or Belgians belong to?

Ah ok so thats where the difference is................

Polonia / German nation - degradation or just deviation? Your opinions? [66]


Actually they don't. There is no such thing as a Greek Cypriot Nation only a Republic of Cyprus.

One can argue about that but in my opinion nationality is defined by what it states in your passport not by language or religious beliefs

Actually I am German only living in Ireland. With regards to people from Northern Ireland they now have a choice between passports. People who were born in Northern Ireland but wish to carry an Irish Passport can do so I believe since the good friday agreement

I guess we could just agree to disagree as the two words apparently can have two meanings

Life / Polish Train Travel - Scary? [101]

Has anyone ever travelled on Ukrainian trains? I'll be making the 16 hour journey from Kiev to Donetsk next week and was wondering if I should approach the whole trip with some extra care etc......

News / So why is there so much animosity against Poles? [65]

Interesting and it sounds like a debate the writer had in her/his local bar after a few beers.

Ireland and the UK have agreements amongst each other such as travelling between between the UK and Ireland without the need of a passport. The rest of the mentioned nationalities are/used to be part of the Commonwealth or colonies.

To my knowledge it also only citizens of those countries who are eligible to join the UK Police forces except for Northern Ireland where also other EU citizens can join the PSNI.

Would the Polish Army let citizens of other countries join?

Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]


Personally I think it worked well in Ireland. Being a smoker myself I must admit I enjoy going out to have a smoke as you always meet someone new to talk to. Although last time in Warsaw it was also good to just sit down and enjoy a cigarette with a pint.

The Pubculture in Ireland seems to be changing though. A lot of Pubs are now closing especially in the Town that I live in. One closed three weeks ago and four more are due to shut their doors within the next couple of weeks. Business simply isnt the same anymore. Whether or not that has something to with the smoking ban i do not know ........

Personally I think a physical attraction is just as important as anything else in serious relationship. How can you ever get "close" to someone if you're afraid to touch them?

Maybe its just me I don't know............
