UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]


Well I do have friends who are a bit crazy on the side of adding ketchup to everything but I'd say it's more like 1 in 5... I haven't heard any "THEY TOOK OUR JOBS... AND KETCHUP!!!" yet ; )


I take a cheddar block over anything anytime ; ) How can one hate cheddar cheese.. I mean it is kind of fat and unhealthy but hell are we not living for these creatures comforts from time to time..

I wonder if it is possible to get a packaged fish and chip british style in any polish supermarkets, I remember there was this event of "british days" in Lidl supermarkets network but it was only for a week, half of the food was german made and branded with a "British" sounding company (stationed in Berlin ;) )

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]

I hate chips with ketchup.. yuck!!! What's with that strange myth about Poles keen on everything with ketchup?

I love cheddar cheese can't find any here :( and fish and chips is an alright meal for me..

Off-Topic / WHEN IS THE ENGLISH WEATHER IN POLAND GOING TO END....? [44]

yay, today I've took my laptop outside to the balcony, and I'm coding outdoors.. drinking coffee, getting sleepy, nice blue sky, no clouds, I'd do a lot to be on a yacht sailing somewhere ..

Off-Topic / Brits, Yanks slur their words? [17]

That's pretty strange because after drinking a proper amount I always though I actually understand more, moreover people I spoke with always said my accent is better hehe

Off-Topic / Brits, Yanks slur their words? [17]


Your average Pole has got more possibilities of hearing english banter than hearing italian banter hence the flawed thinking.

Language / Is czarnoskóry acceptable? [21]


Well there are already first step visible every now and then, feminists trying to push through certain behaviours. I wasn't talking only about the problem of racism but generally about shovinism, pushing it into the bracket of skin colour and us might indeed be only an american thing stemming from their history, but there are so many other things that are and will be ocurring in Poland and will be changing similarly as they did in us.

Travel / Playing football in Katowice [3]

I skimmed through some link on the internet but it seems only football playing possibilities outside of professional level are in Unis, it'd be best to find the number of players you need first and just book a football field for playing.

Personally I'd go for basketball or volleyball though it's much much easier to find the needed amound of players.

Life / Amazon Kindle in Poland? (updated Kindle 3 3G) [10]

There was thread here earlier and from what I remember the op was living in Poland using kindle and thinking about switching to Ipad or Kindle 3.0 or something ;o

Yeah I guess it's good that he is dead then.

See I knew it!!!!! There's a proof here!

Love / Insultive opinions about Polish girls... [139]

Another troll thread, there are many similar threads already can't you use the search function? I doubt guys from Morocco are such traveler and talk with every local to know that in UK, US and Germany people think this or that about whoever hence this thread is bollocks.

You forgot about:

10:40:59,3 - 10:41:04,6 KUUUUUUURWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

It's still possible, there was a quote there of one of the people on board mentioning to the crew that "president hasn't decided yet", of course it might be completely out of context but it might also indicate that something dodgy was going on..

Love / Inside polish women's psychology and mind [109]


I think it's a pretty common trait, when people go to a supermarket hungry they tend to fullfill their little desire with anything that looks delicious..


I'd say it's relative, I've met some people who were rather exasperated by such stories...

it's not funny. at all. :((

Exactly, that's we usually see and hear.. ;)

Study / preparatory Polish language courses [12]


well you've joined just recently, anyways, that's why I said not many - most students come by and run away promptly after getting the right answer :)

Life / Bringing my best American friend to Poland. [7]

Oh come on food? It's not Egypt you're not gonna puke your guts out after eating something bought at an outside stall. I agree with WB, and it's part of discovering the culture - trying out things that are different from what you usually have.

I'm pretty sure you can see graffiti in US too, as are poorer districts and ruined places where industry died off, nothing new there. Peeing for 2$ where did you take that price from? I'm pretty sure Poland is a very inexpensive country from anyone from US.

As for culture shock - isn't it more like being scared of too much new stuff then being bored? He would be bored if everything was the same. And he might be bored if you gonna take him to some smalltown or a village. I'm pretty sure you'd like to take him to Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw or Tricity..

not many students attending these forums, and if they do they usually just visit once asking for directions/prices/accomodation..

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]


Well when I was a member of IAETE I remember we were arranging accomodation in the dorms for foreign students, don't remember prices back then but I think I can ask people who will know if you're interested.. ; o

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]


It will always happen, the thing is EVEN if there was solid evidence, even if they had videos that would show who exactly is to blame there will always be blinded people who are absolutely sure that it was all montaged and forged. It's like that everywhere and during every major catastrophy...

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]


There are IT courses in English (sometimes Ponglish) in most polish universities of technology, 1 person dorm room costs 300-400zł...

Love / POLISH GIRL I REALLY LIKE, BUT she says we have no future [54]


so... how can one join such group?

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

I think that whatever experts amd gov officials will say there's gonna be a load of people being delusional about it, creating some crazy schemes and plots within their heads.

well, I made my mind anyways, I'm pretty sure that plane was knocked down by spiderman.

Love / Can 'engaged' soon to marry Polish men say I love you to their female friend? [62]


couldn't it also be used as "my dear Katie?" I've seen it being written in multiple letters non of them in an affecionate way... Although of course "I love you" leaves no place to guessing..

Love / Can 'engaged' soon to marry Polish men say I love you to their female friend? [62]


First of all there's no "Polish men say", some men do say that most don't and Poles are not different. Most Polish people that I know would never say that, they could speak like that to a family member not to a friend. I can imagine there are people whose friendship is so deep they could use the "L" word.

It's strange to me how can somebody be so stupid - give password to the email account that has proofs of adultery on it.

Life / POLISH TEENAGERS TURN TO PROSTITUTION... [77]

There an article about it in every newspaper at least once every year. It's nothing new - the whole "galerianki" thing about girls from shopping centres. I doubt anything is getting much worse with this whole problem...

News / Polish Policeman shoots down a foreigner in Warsaw [300]


Isn't it better then it was not so long time ago? You don't see cases similar to Pruitt-Igoe or Cabrini Green panel buildings projects falling into ruin and gang violance. At least I haven't heard about such cases.

Language / Meaning of 'Podtopione' please [7]

1) podtopienie - local terrain floodings after heavy showers, overfilling of surface retention, flow of water through the ground surface or percolation of embankments.

2) podtopienie - might also mean partial drowning or foced drowning.

Life / Apple v IBM computers in Poland [37]


Yeah I know, from what I remember IBM people then said they released those prints and plans because they though it's not gonna bring them a lot of money, that computers are just gonna be just very expensive machines used in universities.

It turned out differently and we should be happy about it, I bet they were crying later ;)


Sean what are you on about...? I don't get it ; o

IBM is now one of many companies that put computers together. Some people call all desktop PCs IBMs by mistake, because IBM was the first company to create the computer architecture which is still used in PCs. What happened I mentioned above, now there are many companies putting all the parts together, creating motherboards and releasing PCs under their names...
