"I can spot a Pole a mile away" - Polish fashion?

its people like you who make independance from the uk a great thing!! rock on SNP

Unlike your spelling obviously

I think I have read quite enough from your foul evil mouth

I couldn't give a damn for the finer details of Scottish law........ I care about decent human beings, many of which are members of this forum...you however, have no right to call yourself a human being....you are not even an animal, as even they have redeeming features, which you have absolutely none.......apologies for any typos, as I write, that's because I am so bloody sickened and angry at the evil and wicked things you have written........I'm also bloody angry at Admin adn the moderators for allowing you to continue to spew out this vile hatred :(

I know wat you want.That people will blame you the same way in order to prove that you are right.I have seen people using this method and I was surprised.But here it is polish forum.You just turn on heavy propaganda.

Not sure how it works in Scotland mate but if you ever get admitted as a lawyer I'm sure your solicitors board and the judiciary who ratify your admission would love to see some of your posts - particularly the one about Poles getting knifed! Think about that before you post anymore of your nonsense.

By the way and in keeping with this thread, my dad used to love wearing baggy Eurpoean leisure pants (you know, thin cotton material, thick elastic band at the waist and elastic at the ankles, garish patterns) and white mesh singlets. Fantastic and funny, though he had the physique to pull it off.

I don't think it would matter where he worked (or attempted to) if the board were to see his posts on here.

Hey having re-read noimmigrations threads I just wonder if it is not the chap previously known as "Paul Manser". Could well be I believe he had a rotten time in Polska and a disasterous anglo/pole love affair. And if my memmory serves me correctly he was off to University. Which would certainly make sense. Anyhow just wondering...

omg, NO physique can pull it off ;)

Ha ha! I was worried that no one would be able to imagine this picture! I'm glad you did. To top it all off he would sometimes wear kung fu shoes as well!!!! He went thru a Greek Fisherma hat wearing phase as well when he bought a yacht. Regretably, I have no memory of him puttinh the whole ensemble together, but I'm sure our imaginations can take it in!

BTW - he is of dark complexion, has a big chest and big biceps, so the mesh vest was bearable.

Cheers, Dan

May i just say - all this talk about glasgow cant be further from the truth!!!!yes Glasgow has a high knife crime rate - yes there are many people in Glasgow whom are Polish - and i very much doubt polish people are "pushy" you cant possibly generalise all polish or even glasweigans this way - its ridiculous! i was told about 4 years ago the worst thing to be in the city of glasgow is english - and worse than that - from london! now i have been here 4 years like i have said - and NEVER had any trouble - nor have i heard of any poles getting dangerously close to a "doing" - if anything - there is a bit of tension about poles stealing all the work - but no one has ever said anything about stabbing a pole - the only people who get stabbed here are gang members - or the polis! - i wonder if half of you have even been to glasgow?

Thats the spirit.

Classy!

hmmm,yeah so can I its just the way they look,i dont know...

I used to live in the Buckfast Triangle . . .

- or anybody in the way... Spent every Sat (at least) there for years, night was always most dangerous. Seen so much violence I can't remember it all. Yet, I had so much fun outwith that on those nights. Particular attacks - mostly (as far as I could tell) Scot on Scot.

A driver appeared at work today to pick up a few plants. Immediately I thought he looked Polish. We lifted the heavy sacks of shrubs into the back of his van. I'm not sure whether it was the weather, the weight or if a thorn bit him, but he did say 'Kurwa!'.

Still, the popularity of that word amongst Slavic and even non-Slavic languages such as Hungarian and Lithuanian mean I might have been wrong.

The K word replaced quickly "facking hell" on almost every construction site I had the opportunity to work in the UK. It's the first time I heard that it's quite popular among Hungarians and Lithuanians though. :)

I work with two Hungarians. One tells me it is a very rude word. The other (his girlfriend) is not the sort of girl you say very rude things to (unless, I imagine, you are her boyfriend). I've also been working with two Lithuanians. They don't use the word like Poles do - I've only heard it once (not a seemingly infinite number of times as I'm used to). A fellow English colleague of mine has even tried to say it, although he can't roll his Rs.

2006,sat on a bus minding my own buisness,a couple of Chavs get on,start with kurwa this and kurwa that,for all of 10 seconds before one got a clip round the earhole from a little old lady,the lads obviously hadnt banked on meeting a '45 Pole in a small ish northen city :)

isthatu, that was simply brilliant!! The moral of the story being never assume others can't understand u. I was at the A-bomb dome one time and this Japanese guy was cursing away at me for taking photos, being the American that I am, NOT!! I retorted by telling him, in Japanese to let him know, that I was from Scotland and reviled what the Septics did there. He bowed repeatedly and uttered, 'mooshiwake arimasen, mooshiwake arimasen' (I'm very sorry x2). Forgiveness is divine but I told him to be careful in the future. I love stories with language, we should open a thread

A friend of mine girlfriend wanted to keep in touh with her after we come back premanently to poland. As I'm a very helpful fella I asked this woman "You want to send text messages to M******?". "Yes, are you OK with it?"... Ouch. It came out as If my girlfriend needed my permission to stay in touch with her friends. :/

I see that once again I made quite a faux pas. I didn't want to say that I don't believe you Osiol. :)

As for the K word, it seemed to be most popular among English chaps actually. They pronounced it something like "koovah match" though. :)

That's the one. There seems to be a feeling that Kurwa (or Kooava) isn't enough unless there's a match involved.

or being asked by a drunk english lad who discovered I spoke a little Polish,"whats the best chat up line to use on a Polish girl?"

my reply, "od peerdolly" (sp? but you get the picture :) )

Pierdole but we got the picture. Kużwa is the new kurwa, more politically correct

I know it as kuźwa, and that's an oldie.

Not 'od pierdol się'?


Maybe there are more!

I heard a lot more kurna on my last visit - is that a word that actually means something else cf. kurczę?

It seems to be experiencing a revival then as I hadn't heard it b4 relatively recently and I've been in Poland for a while now

SANDALS WITH SOCKS! That used to be a tell-tell sign of someone fresh off the boat from an Eastern European country. It's all changed now, since sandals with socks became popular with the young college crowd... LOL

totally uncool....i see some Americans wearing those tho...

Yeah, that's pretty tragic/dire!! Kinda missing the point really. I don't recall Jesus whipping out his white socks for those strolls of his
