UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


what is the tiltle of this thread? WHO is complaining???


tourist, right?
sorry, mate but i lived in Berlin for 35 years. belive me once you leave the tourist spots you'll see more than just germans.

what is true though is that foreigners in berlin are not so outstanding as we make it easier for them to integrate... ;)


well... then just don't...


i hope so...

well...

only shows i'm right...

hahahaha...
yes please keep calling me names! i start enjoying that... :D
sometimes it feels good to let all inhibitions go and just leave my education behind in order to be able to communicate with the plain unable...

if you have something to say, guys, do so in a way that people can actually take you serious. you two are so funny... hilarious, really...


look...
before the poles came to the uk and ireland we had many of them in germany. the whole thing was dealt with and now it works for both sides. as it is not attractive enough to work in germany there are not so many coming anymore. the uk and ireland are at the moment far more inviting...

simply deal with it, be patient and that's it.
calling people names is most certainly not the right way to support your point...
neither does blaming the poles (or other foreigners) for everything...

simple, isn't it? ;)

???

prove it.
i am simply reactive so far, but you will surely have realised that during backtracking my posts...


simple: i'm not...

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


taken out of context. you might have read before that somebody was writing poles were not able to do anything efficient during war (more or less that was the context).

reading many books about ww2 you are probably aware that my post simply tells the facts...


Great Britain? never in doubt about that...


running out of arguments again, little boy?
show me a single post that gives you the right to call me a nazi. kraut i can take with a certain amount of humour but nazi??? the other day i was called commy and leftie... now i have apparently covered the whole political spectrum...

great...


what's your point? these are known facts that i never doubted and that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
but if you like it. my well known fact: grass is almost always green...


talking to me? ;)

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


sorry...
WHAT exactly did i start??


???

someone explain to me please what he wants...
what do you think why i left germany?
right... probably because i am so idealistic...

OMG!

but it's funny... go on then


ME?

you must be blind, mate...

Here here i was just complaining that certain individuals apparently need to change every thread into a personal affair...

and you are just now proving me right again...

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


fine with me. i did not start that in the first place but was called names and acused of things i didn't do...

my opinion to the topic i made clear on several posts earlier.

but some probably refuse to learn...

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


nobody should. regardless of their own nationality and their host's...


unfortunately always happens when you discuss so called stereotypes...

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


what the hell is this???
are you trying to show off that you read some books?

i agree with everything you say above and i did far earlier already so what is the point in repeating yourself?

the war is over since more than 60 years so let's just not start another one, please...

shake hands, okay? things are sometimes going a bit out of hand...

UK, Ireland / Are polish pupils harming native british childrens education? [280]


cute little boy feels he won the playground battle?
good for you.
mommy has an apple for you...

show some maturity mate and get over it...

back to topic, where by the way i can't see anything of you winning an argument...

if that is what it's all about for you... sad... *headshake*...

Love / What to buy my Polish girlfriend for Christmas? [9]

whereabouts are you? have you got a polish foodshop around?

impress her with some polish cooking. all girls love men who can cook and if you cook something from her home you score twice...
buy a nice bottle of polish vodka to round things off (zubrowka is my favourite, best with applejuice...)

there are many more possibilities, but i guess you already get the point(?)...

News / Poland adopting the Euro, but when? [65]


pro's and con's...

easy one actually.
economies with a stable currency should think twice before making the change to the euro. that's why the uk did right when deciding against it lately (well... 2 years ago?).

as a matter of fact the "richer" countries had their currency downvalued while for "poorer" ecomnomies the opposite was the case when the euro was first introduced...


simply not true...

it took some years to reach that mark, but still that would be far to quick to get through as inflation rate... ;)

as poland is going through a lot of changes both parties (ecu and poland) should watch and analyse before commiting to a certain exchange rate...

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

interesting discussion...

what GB missed to do for poland?
they could have forgotten about appeasement earlier and act. which on the other hand they could not do as the danger would have been that hitler turns against them first...

a little story on the side:
right before the war there was a military parade in england and the german ambassador was present. as the GB army was very small at that time they simply let the parade pass twice to give the germans the impression of a strong military...

clever! ;)

is GB to blame for the above?
certainly not. poland was overrun by the germans within a couple of days. impssible to send troops from GB on time...

what GB did for poland?
very simple...
if they would not have been marching together with their allies people in poland would speak german today...

not good...

why do people have to argue for the sake of an argument again in this thread of a simple thing remains unclear to me...

Life / Is drinking water in Poland good? [96]


open your own thread if you have got a problem...


i never drank pee so i would not be able to compare it to polish water... ;)

old pipework by the way exists across the whole planet (even in the UK!) and that is never good for the water quality...
the shower in the house i am renting (Leeds, UK) has an old pipe and the first few dribbles every morning come out in a rather rusty colour. only happens on the shower all other taps are okay and you can make coffe with the water...

i personally don't drink tap water because it tasted bad everywhere i was so far...

News / Poland adopting the Euro, but when? [65]


very true. happened even to me (german with polish girlfriend, living in uk) for a split second when my gf flew back to poland. it just seems so natural to assume that every eu country would use the same currency... apart from uk, of course... :D


i laughed my backside off when i saw that ad first...

UK, Ireland / Immigrants trigger Irish rethink [71]

okay...

so what do YOU actually express with the post of that link??

News / Poland adopting the Euro, but when? [65]


it is called a joke.
this time as a rhyme.
"get a lot(y) for your money"...
apparently english people are worldfamous for their wordplay. and this is just a very nice example for it...


no.


forint as far as i remember(?)


no again...

but didn't you say it would be easy to spot different currencies as it is advertised on exchange places???


of course... that's why i prefer £££'s... ;)

UK, Ireland / Immigrants trigger Irish rethink [71]


i can kind of understand that one. but please do not make the mistake to blame that on immigrants...

yes. britain is cold and wet, but at least you can earn money to pay for having it warm and dry.
many poles from london have lost their illusions after arriving and have gone back to poland.
those people who despise immigrants do forget that leaving your country is not such an easy step and many are sitting between a rock and a hard place. on one hand your home, family and personal history but no economical chance to make a living on the other hand economical prosperity but feeling "not home"...

when i came to england from berlin it took me about 1.5 years to sort myself out. on one had i wasn't feeling like completely "gone away" from berlin but on the other hand i haven't "arrived" yet in england... it wasn't made easy by my english colleagues neither. and being from germany should actually make the problem a little easier you would think (as long as you don't talk about football, of course!) as they are probably closer in a cultural aspect. but now imagine how some of the poles must feel when they come here...

it always is a tough one. the ones that complain the most are usually the ones that never made the experience to live away from your patria...

i recommend to everyone to try it. we would have a lot less trouble...

News / Poland turning into a religious state? Polish politic and Church. [96]

making religious education compulsory until A-level can be very dangerous if they were only to teach christian religion. if they teach the whole diversity of religion they would still leave pupils the choice. and more importantly future generations would understand better what the differences between different beliefs are and try to avoid misunderstandings...

diversity is key.

News / Poland adopting the Euro, but when? [65]


mate, we are both right. "nope" is the wrong answer. the nice thing with word play is that it is only word play if it works in both directions here.

but yes... the polish variant wasn't as obvious to me as wasn't the english to you... ;)

as LondonChick said already.. now it is even more genius...

that kind of word play is what i love the english for... :D


me german too... ;)
you have to understand that us germans we do like to paint every picture in black and white...
and it is quicker (efficiency!) to reduce a couple of years of development to one night that it (didn't) took the prices to rise... ;)

you get the point...?

we are strange...

USA, Canada / Roads and Driving rules in Poland versus America [63]



very right that is both...

i think one can say that the origin of all roundabouts is england. you find roundabouts everywhere, even on the smallest of junctions...

and guess what... they work perfectly fine.

Genealogy / strange Polish mixes [116]


if you would do that you would admit that you have a heritage that is just about 300 years young (unless you are indian).
by refering to your (mostly) european heritage it is prolonged by a couple of 100 years which makes you look more elaborate.

News / Polish-German Relations in the Present [697]


there is no "racism" between germany and poland. i grew up and still hold the passport of one of these nations to make this statement... ;-)

the history between both is very mixed up and unfortunately there are many prejudices from both sides towards each others. mostly they come from less educated people...

generally though the relationship between both countries is constantly improving...

sorry, mate. i am working in england contacts not going that far. one of my colleagues from the irish office recently moved back to warsaw. i could try to get hold of him. if you PM me your email adress i might forward it...


looks nice! did you need planning permission for it? or was that because you built it...


that you didnt need one?
did you need an architect?


oh yes! i believe that!

can't see why the mindful people in germany should not be friendly towards poland...

it is people like filios who enters a thread that had a perfectly positive ending to stirr things up in a rather stupid populist manner and be simply disruptive...

very wrong and narrowminded...
