Work / I'm relocating in Wroclaw.. to learn Polish and teach English [11]

Merged: Moving to Wroclaw, getting a job?

Thinking of making a move to Wroclaw. What are the chances of getting an ok job for a non polish speaker with a science degree and experience of working for the UK government? I have IT skills, but no knowledge of programming. I can build and troubleshoot computers, physically fit(!), fast learner, willing to work hard.

Am i likely to be only able to be an English Teacher?

UK, Ireland / Poles working in the UK should be getting more money from your employer! [62]

Living anywhere but London and getting £1100 a month after tax is pretty damn good.

Life / Why are Polish people cheap? [126]

As a Brit i like TK Maxx, got some quality RL jeans and CK shirts for a bargain-ous price!

Travel / Ticket controllers in public transportation vehicles in Poland [24]

On the trams i was on in Wroclaw last week the machines were the old mechanical ones punching through the ticket. Got away without paying once as the machines for buying tickets near the tram line were broken.

Love / A Polish Married Girl Rocks my boat!! [54]


Very well put.

UK, Ireland / Polish people in UK not reporting crime. [26]

Maybe some of the people who have suffered from crime are in the country illegally, or are scared of being deported, and so they do not want to go to the police.

UK, Ireland / Polish people in UK not reporting crime. [26]


You could be working here illegally and it may be something the police check if you report a crime.

UK, Ireland / Polish people in UK not reporting crime. [26]

I would hope a criminal, no matter who the victim is, should be caught and unpunished. If someone can commit a crime against a Pole then they can do the same to anyone else be they a Brit or however.

UK, Ireland / Paying tax in the UK??? Then you're breaking the law!! [41]


Go on then i will entertain you. Give me an example of 'genocide' being committed in this subject.

You genocide helper you! :-P

UK, Ireland / Migrants' advice packs proposed - from BBC on Poles in the UK [15]

Not just aimed at Poles but everyone in the community. I see more english chavs spitting on the streets than anyone else.

UK, Ireland / Migrants' advice packs proposed - from BBC on Poles in the UK [15]


The BBC arent saying that. They are reporting a news story and so are unbiased.

UK, Ireland / Polish Nights in the UK [29]

There is a Polish night every Sunday at the Sakura nightclub in Lincoln. As well as Polish film nights at the drill hall.

Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]


On every single flight to and from Poland, on landing the majority of people clap.

No, thats just to distracting, soon ends up as underneath a Polish beauty and the conversation soon ends ;-)

Life / Paying two phone bills - story from Poland [6]

News / Storyville: The Polish Ambulance Murders (BBC4) [43]


Certainly not, Prince Phillip would do his nut to find his son 'touching' a negro. :-P

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]


Go to lots of countries not just Poland and the culture is the same. In peaceful middle England i was getting pissed and taking drugs at 13.

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

Rafik, calm down chum. Anyone with at least half a brain knows that the guy is talking out of his dupa.
Not all Brits are Pole haters btw.

Love / Getting married?? Keeping parents happy etc... Big Polish family. [9]

Glim, you dont have to 'become' catholic to get married in a catholic ceremony. You go to 'marriage lessons' (in the UK anyway) and give a donation to the church.

Love / Getting married?? Keeping parents happy etc... Big Polish family. [9]

From the little i know you and your partner go to 4-5 half day sessions at your local catholic church, with other couples, and are 'coached' and have discussions about marriage and how to make it work long term. There is a catholic slant on these sessions but there are in no way a recruitment campaign or guilt trip for non catholics.

By the way i am a non-catholic.

Life / Polish pop music/ Polish food [6]

History / German Deaf/Mute able to give voices to Hitler's personal videos...scary [29]


Who did Hitler personally kill (apart from himself)? Im sure it is easier to order a killing rather than pull the trigger yourself and as such i do not think he was as you have described. Im not defending him in any way but he cannot be compared to the likes of Charles Manson.

Language / Double entendres in the Polish language? [37]

The best double entendres are in the 'Carry On' films and also the 'Lovely, wobbly, randy old ladies' from Harry Enfield and Chums.
"Oh what a lovely pair"
"Just up my backpassage, oh young man!"
