is this your answer? 200000 ( or who the hell know the numbers ) Poles in UK, nearly no any of them here? are they deaf or what?

Try multiplying that figure by 4-5, lol.

They probably posted a few times, got fed up of the moderators, went somewhere else :)

Eastern Europeans

We're central European, btw.

I cant believe you are giving the moaning Pole this much attention, cut off the supply and she'll get bored and leave :D

We now have very little forest left in England.

I have one 2 minutes walk from my house...

-I will concede that the UK has produced some of the best comedies in the world. The likes of Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, The Royal Family etc. All quality.

-Their football league isnt bad either.

-The older generation of Brits are polite and courteous.

Another gripe I have about the Brits is when they refer to my country as Eire. Especially when trying to get something delivered. "Sorry, we dont deliver to southern Eire." "No problem", says I. "I live on the east coast of the Republic of Ireland."

Football league, singular? There are many in England alone. You meant the Premiership, right?

Comedy for sure. Some of it is for older people, e.g One Foot in the Grave, but most of it is pretty funny.

No, I meant the football league, as in the championship.

I don't blame you at all actually - it would be like saying "sorry, we don't deliver to Polska" or "sorry, we don't deliver to Sverige"...absolutely pointless - the name of the country is Ireland!

I've also never understood the BBC's insistence on using "Irish Republic", even nowadays.

Id recommend a visit if you have the opportunity, the same as France or Germany

i know youre right. every pleace is the one to visit. just to taste something different. doesnt metter if you like it or not. probably one day ill go there. but there are many other

places that i want to see first

Did you know France is the most visited country in the World, shocking!!

doesnt suprise me at all. i knew that paris is oe of the most visited cities in the world.

i would rather go to the island, alaska or any other pleace where you can live as a tough muthafucka with two hands to work and an ass to freeze off.

You can get fishing jobs up there pretty easy.. Crabbing too. Good $. Just don't fall in that damn water.. or it's lights out.

I like Alaska a lot, what an area of peace and freedom with the best snowboarding the world has to offer, only problem is its too damn cold and in the summer its light for around 23 hours a day.

What does my fiancee think about the UK? Alaska (said in a thick NYC accent)

The roads are better in the UK, that's for sure.

Motorways (free!) - agreed
Other roads - many of them never let me forget about Poland
I suppose more double lane roads though
