UK, Ireland / Looking for freelance Polish people in the UK to do computer drawings [19]

Oh excuse my bad spelling,

Don,t worry about the spelling , its a whole lot better than some of the English people on here than claim to be educated....I know the Heaton area of Bradford , I used to deliver stuff around there when i was a motorcycle courier...Bulgaria is one place i haven,t been to yet ,but i did watch a few programmes on tv about buying property there , and it looks like a good place to live....Landrovers , i love em , simple and will go anywhere , just like me....Let me know how you get on with chatting to Beata , you should not have any language problem , her English is not bad ...have a nice day...Ian..

Life / My neighbours in Poland are stealing all my things [180]

The Poles came and stole all the fish out of the pound

No matter what the subject Michal manages to come up with some story that makes out the Polish nation consists entirely of beggers thieves and scoundrels...I have just had a whole pile of my stuff nicked by Polish people, but nevertheless remain convinced that most Polish people are great folks...What the hell happened to Michal.....?

Life / My neighbours in Poland are stealing all my things [180]

Hey don,t worry about it....People on here give a bit of stick now and then, but most don,t get really nasty...You are entitled to say what you feel , but you can expect to get a few comebacks if you say anything about race or colour ...There are people on both sides of this argument , and it seems to be the subject that upsets people the most....best avoided really......

News / Air-show accident in Poland [81]

Oooops....better correct the load of rubbish i just stated about the aircraft flying over my farm before someone else does......The planes flying over my farm are not su 27,s thats the one that looks similar to the mig 29...These beasts are either the su 22 or 24 , the su 22 is the single seat fighter version , and the su24 is the ground attack aircraft..(two seater)..They come over my farm at chimney pot height sometimes...I thought they must be the ground attack version , as they fly so low , but all the ones i have seen appear to be single seaters , so they must be the su22 , i guess they are practicing flying under radar...very impressive stuff....

Travel / How much is a pint in Warsaw? [15]

Hello Gra....don,t take much notice of beer prices really...i just buy the stuff...but most things in Poland are about half the price you would pay in the UK....Beer prices vary , but i think about 50p a pint in English money...This ain,t bad as Polish beer is double the strength of UK beer...and much nicer...hope this helps.......a Brit in Poland...

News / Racist attack against Poles via Polish language [30]

Polish is difficult to learn.

I agree ..Polish is difficult to learn , but before anyone jumps down my throat , thats not an attack on Poland or its people...Polish is a very beautifull and colorfull language , and if i am to have a life here , then its something i have to do....I have to say tho , that some of my closest friends here are people that i can,t have a conversation with , but we are friends just the same....Sometimes what is in your heart can be comunicated without words......

double strength polish beer is a myth.

You are right....what i should have said is that my favourite beer in Poland is double the strength of what i drank in the UK...and whatever the strength , Polish beer tastes a whole lot better....

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]

I,don,t know much about the statistics , but can only talk about my experiance...In the UK if i went anywhere by car or bike , i would not drink any alchohol , and if offered any i would simply say i am driving...None of my friends had a problem with this , and i was never pushed to have just a little one....In Poland however most of the people i know think nothing of driving after drinking , and can,t seem to understand why i am reluctant to drink when i am driving...I am sure that there are people i know in the UK who drink and drive too , but its not looked upon as normal , and people would be reluctant to admit they drank and drove...In the small vilages around where i live in Poland there are few Police , so little risk of getting caught , whereas in the UK the risk of getting caught is much higher...In the UK its easy enough to get a taxi if you are going out for a drink , in the rural area,s of Poland this is not the case...There are not so many taxi,s about , and people in my area don,t have the money to spend on such luxuries anyway....Put all this together with the fact that a lot of my friends here are reluctant to wear seat belts , and add in the many roadside trees in Poland , and its not hard to see why the death rate is high in Poland...Last christmas i saw two people die as a result of drink driving , and thats a lot considering there is not so much traffic in this region...The christmas before my good friends father died when he swerved to avoid a drunk in the road...The car rolled over and he was thrown through the sunroof , he wasn,t wearing a seatbelt....I don,t watch Polish telivision , so i don,t know if they have anti drink drive adverts on tv , but in the UK we were constantly bombarded with drink drive warnings , and it became socially unaceptable to drink and drive....I think in Poland its still seen as ok among many people especially the young , and its going to take a lot of effort to change it....In the meantime i just hope all my Polish friends are still around next year , and don,t die as a result of drinking , or someone elses drinking.....
