Life / Polish Parents are controlling [58]

Sounds like my GF's mum (obviously Polish)
Nothing she does is right and even if what she does is flawless, she'll find something.

So, you made a wonderful, tasty lunch and kept us all entertained...yeah great...but it took you long enough and you should have used baby carrots not normal ones and...

I know it's a silly example, but that's the point. She just *has* to find something to criticise, no matter how trivial or pointless.

Never noticed my mum being like that... strange. :)

Feedback / National Admin appreciation day! [18]

Ouch, I feel your pain, it'd be like living opposite Alton Towers on Bonfire night...i think i'd be wanting to head out and shove a few lit fireworks where the sun doesn't shine. hehe Even double glazing doesn't help in this situation.

Hope they put a lid on it soon, or it starts to absolutely p*ss down. Think that's gonna be your only salvation.

kids dont seem to do penny for the guy these days....

What with costs of modern living, it's more like a quid for the guy these days eh? :)

Love / Do Poles consider getting married more than other nations? [21]

Nah, he didn't invent divorce.
He did something much more cool and befitting of a king; he invented a new brand of religion, with him as boss, so he could get divorced whenever he felt like it, instead of having to kiss the Pope's infallable backside in order to get permission. :)

Gotta love being a King.

Language / Changes in the Polish Language [11]

but in EU there's no official language - unless it's German?)

Not strictly true mate.
There are 20 official languages (23 in 2007) in the EU and when every new state joins, they stipulate which language they want to have recognised as "their official language" within the Union.

All documents, treaties etc have to printed in each language...can you imagine the bill at the printers!

TIR? Transports Internationaux Routiers?

Love / Rules for dating Polish girls [189]

Blackpool is a really boring place in Northern England.
It's very dark there, so they have lot and lots of lights there and also, they force Donkeys to carry small children up and down the beach in the cold and wet.

I didn't know that string fun was banned in Blackpool....wow, yet another reason to never go back!! :)

Are you a security guard... safe and secure?

I personally think he might be a mathematician, after all he did say:

for [=] 1 2 1

Gotta hand it to him.

News / Terrible School Incident in Gdansk, Poland [34]

That is truly awful...i've never read anything so upsetting in a long while. I'm with Shelley though, back when I was at school, the teacher left the classroom and it was party time, we used to sit on the desks, chat with each other, get out the walkmans or gameboys and generally enjoy the sudden, unexpected free time...

I dont understand why the other girls couldnt stop it....

These days, we're in a walk on by society, people in London will step over someone lying on he floor bleeding and only worry that they might have got blood on their Jimmy choo's. Or in Belgium, a man asked a few kids on a bus to stop making noise, they stabbed him to death and the 30 other passengers on the bus promtly alighted at the next stop.

I just feel like we all think, "thank god it's not me," rather than "oh my god, what can i do to help" these days, sadly. :(

Dear koziol what in the world is a bollock

A bollock in its literal meaning is a testicle, usually plural, bollocks (we mostly have 2) :) but yeah in this context it was bollocks...meaning what a load of rubbish. :)

UK, Ireland / They eat a LOT of chocolate in the UK! [30]

Some people would eat it for breakfast, luch, dinner......

Don't forget supper too. Nothing like ending the day with a Cadbury's Caramel. hehe

I know, you can always tell that a country loves it chocolate when they start gigantifying it...good time to be a dentist in Britain perhaps! :)

There was an influx of Hmongs in Wisconsin.

Dunno if this is a stupid question, but what are Hmongs?

Love / What kind of girls do Polish men like, and why? [30]

Good question. When i first arrived in Austria, i thought there were lots of unmarried Austrian beauties walking around, then i found out that it's the right hand not left to show you're married here and my bubble was well and truly popped! :)

Apparently here, you wear the engagement ring on the left hand, 3rd finger, excluding thumb (men too) then when you get married you swap and wear it on the right but the engagement ring disappears. (afaik)

I'm pretty sure that in PL it's the right hand when married too but i'll ask my lass about the engagement ring tomorrow and let you know Krysia.

Language / Speaking bad Polish? [14]

Good question! Can I add to it? Can we also have the translation/reason why the one is bad and the other isn't?

Language / 'mojego ojca' - need some grammatical explanation [12]

in the worst case you can come here and we'll help you out

Not worst case at all, that's very kind. I won't abuse the privilege though. But it's good to know, if i have a question, there is somewhere I can ask.

I'm sure anything remotely recognizable makes your girlfriend very happy

If only that were true.

Guess I should explain.
She thinks i'm daft for wanting to learn Polish...she just can't understand it. She says, English is much easier and after all, as she speaks probably better English than half of my city folk, there is no point.

I mean, I can see her point of view and i'll be honest and say, as i'm speaking German all day everyday, it is nice to rattle away in English once in a while but I dunno, I just wanted to make the effort and try.

(Language is a big passion of mine, you find out so much about a culture and people by the words they use, it shows you what they hold dear etc etc and as she is important to me, I want to learn more about her way of thinking and viewing the world)

Of course, if I ask her for help with anything Polish related, she gets very impatient (putting it mildly! hehe) with me and well to be honest, that's a bit discouraging, so I don't.

Hence why it's such slow going; just me and my Teach yourself Polish book. :)

oh boy, another Essay...Well done if you read all the way to here..if not

WAKE UP!!! It's over.
