Real Estate / Poland Property...should I be scared [127]
with all due respect, shelley, your uncle and some of the people who worked at the same place as you do not qualify as *most English people*... do they...?
following your reasoning, more ex-pats go to the middle east to earn tax free wonga than say, france, spain, america, australia... or even poland... for the food, lifestyle, weather, whatever...
and lets not forget the thousands of wouldbe English teachers that leave every year for nothing more than the experience of seeing the world...
so if we want to generalise and say that *most English people* go abroad for one reason rather than another, then it's probably not because of the money...

but I think that sometimes the Poles turn a blind to what is actually happening in the country as regards Jews, homosexuals, and other minorities.

have a look around when you get here... it's so competitive that one company or another will have a promotional offer at the time...
... then again... if you are renting then its possible the house will have a connection already...

Life / Music tastes in Poland [23]
i disagree with this SunRa - I spent a couple of years in the tri city in the mid 90s and there was definitely innovation and creativity on the hip-hop/big beat/acid jazz front...
...and when i go out there now i am hearing hip-hop more than i would on a night out in the uk - i am also seeing innovative and creative jamming sessions every week lead mainly by glennskii - see above link - who also lead a project called groovekojad [sp] five or so year ago..
... one thing i have noticed, however, is that many poles still associate hip-hop with black artists and have trouble acknowledging white artists...
Concerning Polish hip-hop, it was never innovative nor experimental

UK, Ireland / I understand poles coming to uk [196]
yeah... aint being funny or nuffink like but the jobs they tend to be taking have traditionally been done by lazy good for nuffink rip-you-off locals... and the poles want less money for doing a better job... duh... no brainer...
why should i employ some dodgy-as-f*k british builder who is going to charge me silly money for sitting on his fat ar*e all day drinking tea... had a bloke... and his little mate... in last year to do some plastering... took them four hours... including a two hour lunch break... and half a bag of plaster and the radge wee c*nt wanted 4OO sovs... guess where i told him to go...
so decided to try my luck with the poles...
three of them came in... worked 14 hour days... no endless tea breaks... painted my house from top to bottom - 3 floors - put in a new bathroom and re-decked the patio... took them a week and they wanted 5 sovs an hour... cant say fairer than that guv innit?
so... the moral of the story is that this is a competitive consumer society... if the local good for nuffink lazy f*ks are bothered by a sudden influx of competition then they can get off their poopers and start working... hard... for their money instead of sponging off the rest of us...

now... on the first occassion i celebrated a birthday in poland i was shocked... to say the least... that the birthday boy is expected to get the drinks in... absolutely outragous and really not on...
so... the question to be asked is...
who gets the drinks in!!!

in th uk it's like "hey mate... it's your birthday... let me buy you a drink... put your money back in your pocket... it's your special day... this one's on me...!!!"
if i am invited to a party then i bring alcohol... of course... polite... manners... and then when i go home if my alcohol hasnt been drunk then i leave it at the party... i dont take it with me...
and when i am out with friends i get a round in... i buy everyone a drink because they are my friends and it's a pleasure for me to buy them a drink... and then the next person gets a round in.. then the next person...
[quote=Matyjasz, Post #35 ]don't worry about the alcohol!quote]
i know from experience the generousity of the poles but the way you write it makes it almost sound like people wont come to the party of they have the worry of buying their own alcohol...
Since it's the birthday boy who invites people, he buy's the drinks. In Poland it's like "Hey boy's, tomorrow is my day, come to my party and don't worry about the alcohol! I will take care of that". I guess Poles like to be generous, and this tradition goes way, way back to the middle ages.
Don’t be so shocked, though. It's the same way like with the weddings. I don't think that in England the guests are expected to bring their alcohol with them to the party, are are they?
