Actually only £2.39 if you send the big squeezy tub!

Should be enough to keep Seanus going for a couple of months.
Enjoy mate,

I've found it in only 2 shops in Warsaw, but it's about 5 times the price it is over here! Happy to help out - treat it as an early or late birthday present ;)

Travel / Best hotel in WARSAW, near the center? [14]


You can get better deals at if you use their own website. hotelrialto.com.pl/en/

99 Euro is what I normally pay for a one bed suite. Not cheap I agree, but you get what you pay for, and the OP asked for the best.

I can't believe what I'm reading.
Forget the over priced chains and go for something with character and class..........

Rialto wins hands down.

UK, Ireland / How to get Polish TV in Britian [17]

Ok, finally got the system set up - and it was pretty striaght forward but involved a trip to Poland to get the decoder and set up the account with Cyfra+ with a Polish address.

Once back home all I had to do was buy a 60cm dish and fix it to the wall. Locating the satellite was a bit tricky, but got there in the end. Connected the cables and Bobs your uncle!

The contract with Cyra was 520PLN for 15 months (Pakiet Podstawowy+), and the dish £30, say £140 all in.

Even taking into account the £80 flight, it works out a hell of a lot cheaper than some websites that charge £900 for the same thing.

Thanks for the help, hopes this is useful for others.

Thanks PD, kind offer, but I'll be over west next week so might be able to pick up the kit if I need it myself. ;)

UK, Ireland / How to get Polish TV in Britian [17]

Not all of it I agree, but that's actually the point...........by watching/listening to it, I hope that I'll be able to get a better handle on the cases and improve my very basic Polish. Trying to learn without being in Poland and hearing how the language is spoken is a complete nightmare.

I'm lucky enough to spend a fair amount of time in Warsaw, and always learn more just being there for a week or so than sticking my head in a book for hours on end.

Has anyone been to Frantic?

frantic.pl - nice tunes on their website.

Travel / Visiting Krakow - looking for 30something nightclub [9]

LC,
That's a possibilty, but we'd prefer a nightclub with DJ and dance floor that atracts a slightly older crowd. All that drum and Bass does my ears in after 30mins. If I start going to Jazz clubs I'll start to feel like my old man.

Thanks,
G

Thanks McCoy,
Guess I should have explained that I'll have my girlfriend with me so that's not exactly what we're after, I'll put it to her though and see what she says!

Not a great choice of titles, but thanks anyway. I'll keep looking. Surely there must be a market for this in Glasgow, or do you all just download them from the Net? G.

Nothing on ebay at the moment- and I'd forgotten, gumtree is full of freaks and timewasters! ahhhh.

Hi PD. There's a few Polish Deli's near me in the centre, but although they do a fine line in kiełbasa no DVD's unfortunately. I'll keep looking, maybe ebay or gumtree will have something?
