Love / Best way to find a Polish husband...ideas? [120]

I want someone who is sane to the core, responsible/moral, classy, tall, white, and has his life on track but not overly religious.

I fullfil these requirements and have even a few extra ones, but I cannot help you as I have been married for over dozen years and not gonna change it.

I am terribly sorry.

Life / School and stadium violence in Poland? [21]

Bonkersness.

No, pure American-style political correctness. If it got to UK so quickly, I wonder how long it will take to get to Poland?

Travel / How much it costs a visit of Poland of one week? [7]

That`s because Polish satellite channels are extremely popular in Arab countries. They watch Polish blond singers, dancers and models day and night and then dream of Polish women. Normal.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Nope. Who takes weasels/otters/martens to the beach??? :):):)

a bird sanctuary?

Nope.

i asked my husband who is from the tricity and he is stumped.

Antykiwilk, I noticed your reply before it was randomised. I agree.

Somewhere in Gdansk.

So everybody already knows that most pics in this series are from Gdańsk?

Life / How much does it cost to live in Poland? [42]

How much is an apartment

Renting a 2 room apartment in Jarosław, southern Poland:

600 PLN plus utilities = about 200 euros.
jaroslaw.nieruchomosci-online.pl/mieszkania,wynajem/1045800.html

and food.

Bread costs 2.5 PLN per 0.5 kg = 0.60 euro

Milk - 2 PLN per 1 litre - 0.5 euro

Poland is cheap.

Law / Worked for a restaurant in Poland and the owner refused to pay me. [60]

just looking for for some guidance.

Stop stuttering!

welcome to PF!

Yes, it is a problem that probably an innocent guy comes to seek advice but sounds like another troll, especially that old trolls instantly jump at the prey and tell tall stories about Poland. :):):):):):)

Law / Worked for a restaurant in Poland and the owner refused to pay me. [60]

So to you this:
Harry:
spouses of these citizens,

is not the same as this:
Harry:
a family member of a foreigner

Yes, it is. :):):):)

So what?

The problem is that both are inadequate in that troll`s situation!!! :):):):)

Mine is better because it is more to the point. :):):)

Law / Worked for a restaurant in Poland and the owner refused to pay me. [60]

Is that why you used the word 'guy' to refer to a female poster?

Harry, come on, stop playing a naive a child. :):):):) I have been on the forums only since 2005 but I have seen enough tricks that people play. Haven`t you?

Warszawet can be a male or a female. Did you meet him/her in person? Sorry, only after meeting the guy you can be sure what gender he/she is.

Besides, one more thing. You posted a lengthy quote about work permits but it wasn`t the proper one.

Here is the right one:

malopolska.uw.gov.pl/default.aspx?page=Work_permit_for_foreigner_work_in_Poland

Obligation to have a work permit does not apply to a foreigner who:

has a residence permit for a fixed period in the Republic of Poland, granted in relation to the circumstance referred to in Art. 53 Item 1 Point 10, 11, 13 and 15-18 of the Foreigners Act of 13 June 2003,

is a spouse of a Polish citizen or a foreigner referred to in Point 1 and Item 1 Point 1-6, who has a residence permit for a fixed period for the territory of the Republic of Poland, granted in relation to contracting a marriage,


you appear to not be able to read

Is it what psychologists call self-projection? :):):):)

Let;s see if the guy "Acey" really exists along with his restaurant and the alleged dishonest Polish owner.

I am sure he/she will soon get back here but under a new nick. :):):):):):)

Law / Worked for a restaurant in Poland and the owner refused to pay me. [60]

Why do you bother posting about things you know nothing about?

Really? I think it is quite the opposite. :):):):)

The foreigners entitled to work on the Polish territory without the need to obtain a work permit are primarily citizens of the European Union member states and the citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Such right is also granted to the following foreigners - family members of the citizens of the abovementioned countries:

Why do you bother to post this?

Isn`t it what delph said twice to that troll Warszawet who loves telling tall stories about Poland?

I agreed with delph, that`s all.

WTF do you want?

So, Harry, next time if you need to go to the toilet, take your laptop or whatever you use there so that you don`t get disengaged from discussions.

Wrong. Those holding a Karta Pobytu through a family connection to an EU citizen do not require a work permit.

The guy is again trying to sell his/her fairy tales, but knows very little about Poland, and only gets more and more excited with every word he/she writes here. :):):):) I have been working 20 years in Poland and know only one guy who had problems with payment but when he threatened with informing Labour Office, they paid him, finally.

I lost more money in the USA for 2 years than in Poland for 20 years, that`s the truth.

Trying to avoid taxes and Social Security by illegal employment is a crime in Poland.

History / The history and discussion of the Bambrzy people in Greater Poland/Posen area [25]

Poznan, Posen, whatever. Some freshmen might lack education, that is normal.

But if they consciously refuse to absorb education and don`t follow good advice, that is not normal and suggests they are stinking trolls, as delph noticed before. :):):)

That is why I am not going to participate in this thread but will develop another one. :):):):):)

Travel / Are there free hostels/shelters/accomodations in Poland (Warsaw)? [7]

Yes, I can but I suppose you`d better stay with your parents and try to be a good son.

Are there free hostels/shelters/accommodations in Poland?

No free hostels, I am afraid. There are free shelters for homeless people. As for free accommodation of another sort, try squatter groups.

For example:

History / Polish patriotic songs with anticommunist message [21]

To be honest, practically every rock song produced in 1980s could be considered as anti-communist. Rockmen very often sang about freedom and lack of hope, and such things were treated with deep suspicion by censors but they had to give in due to the constant pressure.

Here are a few rock songs which were allowed in 1980s Such songs would have been banned in 1970s, let alone 1960s.

Some examples:

It will be beautiful one day

youtu.be/LekhxqdZAfI

Why do you need freedom

Crisis

youtu.be/ta5QJ6vPO-Y

Experience it yourself

An anticommunist song sung in 1980s.

I remember we sang it on our high school trips when communist teachers, who stayed at school, didn`t hear us, because we asked those decent, patriotic ones to go with us.

We don`t want commies,
we don`t want sickle nor hammer
The red hordes shall pay for Katyn, Wilno and Grodno.

They will pay for murders, violence, suffering and tears,
For the years spent under the yoke

Why some section of the Polish population is addicted to martyrdom?

Some is, some isn`t.

There `s democracy.

What`s the problem? Relax. :):):):)

Why PW is monopolizing 01-08?

Why not?

Will you argue that Christmas shouldn`t monopolize 24-26 December???? :):):):)

fantastic!

Yeap!! I always get thrill when I hear it.

It is very sage in its advice.

Exactly.

Btw, it is advice given after the lost January Uprising.

The most important message is at 1.53:
Let`s not forget our holy matters
Let`s keep our pure ideals
It is our task to give them strength and armour
So that one day
they move from dreamland to reality.

USA, Canada / Moving to Poland from USA with my retired husband [10]

Come on.

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27"And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28"And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. [...]
