UK, Ireland / If I was to move to Poland from Ireland... [92]

How rude of you.

Look , every post there is , on any subject , you dive in and run down Poland and its people , telling us all what a kak place it is with terrible people...You can,t be suprised that you get a bit of stick from those of us that Love Poland and its people...Yes there is a lot wrong with the country , and the people who stole my stuff were worthless scum , but Poland is a good proud country , and has a great future which i intend to be part of....If you can,t say something nice about the place and its people why the hell are you on Polish forums...Do you see it as your duty to warn the world that its so bad here...Those that live here know whats its like , those that do not will come and see for themselves , and are unlikely to rely on your account...Pess up a rope fookstick.......now thats rude.....!

UK, Ireland / If I was to move to Poland from Ireland... [92]

Where's that sense of humour originally from

Well i was born , if thats the right word in the north of England in a small seaside town called Scarborough , but i was on my toes at 16 , and off to London...Since then , all over the world , doing every nutty thing you can think of...Usually involving going at silly speeds on a variety of machinery....I think we have a strange sense of humour in Yorkshire , and people who do really dangerous stuff tend to see the funny side....After a big crash at Brands hatch they took me to hospital with a bashed head....While my girlfriend and crew stood around worried they carefully x rayed my dented noggin....As i lay on the trolly the nurse came out of the room and anounced in a loud voice... ( we have x rayed his head , and we can,t find anything...!) Wot , nothing at all....????

Oh , and the bike is fine....its almost warm enough to ride it here......Almost....

sense of humour

I always thought the Irish had a sense of humour to beat all others....I used to race against a lot of em , ...Happy days , and lots of laughs....

Yeah , come on over for a beer , maybe bring some proper Guinness over , you know the proper Irish stuff , not the kak they send to UK...My mate Joey dunlop assured me they used to pizz in it before they sent it over...i am sure he was right....It tasted much better in his bar in Ireland.....

Joey was your mate???

i have him to blame for me being in Poland....Joey began taking aid to Latvia whilst competing at Riga circuit...I followed his idea , taking aid to Belarus , and Poland , fell in love with Poland...Its all his fault....Sadly it was at Riga circuit where Joey lost his life in a first lap crash in the rain....Everyone that knew him misses him , he was one of the nicest guys in racing...Must get over and have a beer in his bar again sometime....And i want to go and drink a Guinness sometime in Latvia at the place where he died....of course i shall take one for him too...

Love / Sex in Poland (Not dirty or advertising post) [27]

Muktaaaaaa has replied to messages from 18 year girls wanting a boyfriend , people wanting a Pilipino maid and every job there is on Polish forums....His main objective seems to be to get sex , and an Eu passport.....Is this allowed on the forums....i think its spamming...or hamming or whatever you call it.....

UK, Ireland / 13,000 Polish births this year, in the UK [180]

My friend Aneta earned more money working one week as a packer in a factory , than she did for one month as a professor in Poland...Its as simple as that...just economics.....Most people want to improve their lives , and this is one way to do it.....Poland is a nice place , but working your butt off in Poland ain,t going to earn you enough money to buy a house...In the UK it will......

News / The most useless things in Poland [140]

Electricity sockets that come out the wall when you pull the plug out.

Oh its normal then...i thought it was only happening on my farm because the stuff was old....And while we are on the subject.....Why can,t they make light fittings that actually fit to the ceiling rather than dangeling on the wire four inches below it.....

History / Should goverments pull in war criminals from WWII? [33]

You have to bear in mind that when the Germans first invaded the Ukraine they were welcomed as liberators...Most Ukrainians were glad to see the back of Stalins boys , and thought life could not be any worse under the Germans....Many Ukrainians were happy to join the Germans in the fight against Russia , thinking this would help them regain some independace after the war....If Hitler hadn,t been so insistant that all slavs were sub humans unworthy of being allies he could have had all Ukrainia on his side , and maybe Belarus too...The outcome of the war in the east may have been different....Instead the Ukrainians were treated as badly as all the other ocuppied slavs , and soon turned against the Germans.....The waffen ss were a rule unto themselves , they had Danes , French , Dutch , Latvian . and even Muslim ss divisions , indeed most of the troops defending Berlin to the last were not Germans.....

Food / NAME THIS FOOD PLEASE (Hungarian pastry / Zurek?) [9]

I need some help from all you Polish food experts on this forum....First of all i would like to know the Polish name for something i ate in a small cafe in Zlocieniec....My Polish friend told me it was Hungary cake , but other Polish friends say there is no such thing.....The second item was a crusty bread bun which was hollowed out and had soup in it , very tasty....Can anyone name these mystery foods , so i can ask for them again in the future.......

History / WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland [290]

why did they contract with the Poles at all and form an alliance

I think this was done as a deterent , which i am sure they believed they would not have to back up with action....When Poland was invaded the UK was in no position to do very much at all.....If it hadn,t been for that signed agreement with the Poles then i am pretty sure the Uk would have made lots of protests , but would not have declared war , and would have hoped Hitler would stop at Poland and not cause any more bother....After the slaughter of the first war there was no great desire to go at it again with Germany , and had it not been for that agreement we would have stayed out of the war untill France was attacked...

History / WW2: Britain Declares War on Germany to Save Poland [290]

Of course we should not forget that the UK would have been even closer to defeat in the battle of britain if it had not been for the Polish squadrens in the R.A.F....and the many Polish soldiers who fought in the British army in British uniform...My father was in the tank regiment in the desert , most of his comrades were Poles.....By contrast when i was in the Army Poland was a potential enemy as part of the warsaw pact , thankfully it never came to that.....A Polish friend of mine who was in the Army assured me that they would have turned on the Russians first....Thank goodness we never had to put it to the test....

Polish army were quite happy to invade Czechoslovakia.

Well i can,t speak for the whole Polish army , my friend is just one person....But i suspect many Polish soldiers were not so happy about invading their neighbours...

But wasn,t this thread supossed to be about ww2...?
