Life / ANYONE KNOW THE COST OF A MEDICAL OPERATION IN POLSKA..? [28]

I thought about that , but there is nothing that requres emergency treatment , no arms hanging off or whatever...i suspect they would simply declare me fit to travel back to the UK for further treatment...

i am pretty sure there is no way round it really...just going to have to pay up...No i am not registered here as a farmer...just as a resident...

Life / ANYONE KNOW THE COST OF A MEDICAL OPERATION IN POLSKA..? [28]

Due to my long and loopy history of doing stupid stuff , such as crashing motorcycles at high speed , it looks as though i am going to require an operation on my arm to move a few nerves about , and grind a bit of bone off..nice...!

Just supposing i have to pay for this operation here in Polska , can anyone give me a bit of a clue as to how much it might cost...?

I need to know if its going to be cheaper to get it done here , fly over to the UK , or get a workshop manual and have a bash at it myself... thanks...

Love / Why are Polish girls constantly ill? [166]

[quote=PlasticPole] why you see more colds and flues when the weather is slightly cooler,

My old farm is cold and draughty , not exactly cosy in the winter , but i have never been ill here... I think its the people in the warm cosy houses that tend to suffer more from illness.... ]

Food / Mushroom Picking Parties (Poland tradition) [74]

I have said this before , but maybe no harm in saying it again...If you are not 100% certain that the mushroom is safe to eat , then DO NOT EAT IT... there are reports that some of the deadly ones actually taste quite nice , people have said so , just before they died...!

You can buy all kinds of books on the subject , but sometimes , even with great photos in a book its very difficult to identify all of them , there are some mushrooms that can be eaten , that look very similar to ones that you definatly should not eat....

If you really want to go picking mushrooms , the safest thing is to go with a local Polish person , even the city folk seem to be pretty clued up on whats ok to eat , and what is not , mind you , even they can make mistakes...

Its not just death you need to worry about , some of the mushrooms on the danger list can make you very ill , and leave you with permenant and severe damage....

Enjoy your Polish mushrooms , they are the best...just be carefull....

UK, Ireland / Leeds: Beware of purse snatch gangs in supermarkets [11]

You lived in Armley? Me too.

Actually , i lived in Pudsey , but Armley , is just down the road from there , a Polish friend of mine that i took to the UK to find work now lives in Armley , and works in Pudsey....

I had a number of Poles living in my house in Pudsey , and all were decent hard working guys.... Of course , you get thieving bandits in all nationalities , but sadly , if these bandits turn out to be Polish , it will reflect badly on all Poles in the area...As Jonni has said , there was a problem with crime in that area long before the Poles arrived , its not one of the better areas of Leeds...

UK, Ireland / Leeds: Beware of purse snatch gangs in supermarkets [11]

I see this has occurred in the area of Leeds where i lived for twenty years , before moving to Poland , and yes there are quite a few Polish people , living and working in the area , along with Latvians , Rumanians , and other nationalities...

If these bandits are Polish it will no doubt make life a bit harder for the majority of Polish people in the area who are honest and hard working , hopefully they will be caught , and if found guilty they should be thrown out of the country...

Whatever nationality there are , they are scum...

Food / POLISH BREAD..... isn't it great... [22]

That sounds great , but a bit too close to cooking to me..heating up a pan of beans , or slapping some sliced cheese in my Polish bread is about all i can be bothered to do.....

My Russian friend assures me all that is going to change tho , she is a great cook it seems...AND she can make bread.. Anyone tried Black Russian bread..? its the sort of stuff you could bulid a house with..!

Life / Stolen car parts [30]

I have seen Polish friends remove their wipers and put them inside the car before leaving their car parked up for the night , but this was in a city , out in the sticks where i live , they leave the car unlocked with the engine running while they go into a shop...!

Food / ENGLISH FOOD...delivered to your door in Poland.. [9]

I have mentioned this company before on the forums , but for new members of the forum i will do it again...Christmas is coming..

If you live in Polska , and you are desperately missing certain brands of English food , or you live in the UK , and want to send that special something to friends in Polska , there is an English company that can help...

I have just had a large carton of stuff sent to me by my sister , containing all sorts of lovely English grub , and yes , lots of Heinz beans...!

You can choose on line what you want to include in the carton , orders can be large or small , and they will wrap it very carefully , and send it to any place in the world...what a great idea...!

the company can be found at britishcornershop. give them a try...

i have to add , that i have no connection with this company , other than as a happy customer...

UK, Ireland / ABERDEEN MEN ADMIT ATTEMPTED MURDER OF POLE... [15]

As you say Seanus , Scum come in all shapes sizes and colours , and from all nationalities....I am supposing these particular scum are Scots , but thats not important , what matters is that they are scum , and should be flushed down the toilet...

Thankfully the Polish guy is making a good recovery....

It must be mentioned that the reason these scum were caught , is due to other Scots in this community giving evidence to the Police so it would be wrong to label all the people on this estate as scum , many were shocked by this senseless attack....

UK, Ireland / ABERDEEN MEN ADMIT ATTEMPTED MURDER OF POLE... [15]

It has to be said , that some people are just scum , and they breed more scum....I don,t know what the answer is in a free society...The ony answer i can see is to steralise the scum untill the race dies out , but then thats getting a bit close to Hitlers ideals...
