UK, Ireland / More honest - Brits of Poles? [9]

It has already taken place in the Ekstraklasa football league, Pol3. I dare say that some doctors are trying to stamp out bribes too.

The garbage is found where you throw out trash, Pol3. What are you talking about? Pol3, why weren't The Beatles or The Rolling Stones arrested and put in jail for knowingly ingesting Class A drugs?

Well, that's a fair point. Those junkies in Peterhead/Fraserburgh in Scotland are really nasty sorts. I knew a guy who was able to kick the habit but turned heavily to drink. My cousin was forced to live with him a long time ago. Chemical dependency is in their nature and they wrestle with it. The only thing I have in common with them is nationality.

UK, Ireland / More honest - Brits of Poles? [9]

I agree with that. We are both honest :) Some are dishonest in both countries and some are honest.

How is it nonsense, Pol3? It's directly relevant. So you are trying to encourage snitching/dobbing? What, like torture, you naively expect them to furnish you with the truth? I don't think you really grasp the correlation between governments and drugs at all.

Then I suggest you recall again ;) Please have a look at the list of things he vetoed. The point here is that Buzek should quieten down and bide his time.

Pol3, you need to understand that it was LK that was the stalwart against all that, not Tusk. Tusk will be complicit in the game. Poland has no right to unilaterally declare an EU position. Wait for the widespread debates in member states before taking a uniform stand.

Endless talk about money. You do wonder how a character can develop when money is the principal motivator. The last part about the gay is interesting too. It shows how much more tolerant the UK is.

Expect the Albanian mafia to move into this domain. The EU will likely want this as they made the brothel/druggie state known as Kosovo independent. The EU can get its hands dirty again and they will likely jump at the opportunity.

Not before extensive debate happens around the other EU countries. He should not abuse his position, Pol3. If he tries, he could find himself back in Zabrze gimnazjum school where my wife knows him from. He had better not get ideas above his station.

UK, Ireland / Why Manchester rules over Warsaw :) [65]

Always late, Droma? How do you know that? Buses tend to be punctual in the UK

Yes but the baggage and vanity that come with them means that any self-respecting man will steer well clear. Mancunians tend to be realists and Warsaw folk wild romanticists that jump ship and then compliment their city from afar.

The Thai restaurant I went to in Warsaw was pretty expensive. I don't imagine Manchester to be that expensive.

Manchester is not Nottingham or Blackpool, Droma. Besides, there are plenty fights in Warsaw. You just don't seem them.

Different genres of music, the Roses and Chopin. Why even attempt to compare them?

But the coffee is much more fairly priced in Manchester.

UK, Ireland / Why Manchester rules over Warsaw :) [65]

Well, the music scene in Manchester has produced sublime talents.

The list from Warsaw can't even hope to come close to the quality that is on that list there. I can't even name any bands from Warsaw.

A 78-min presentation on immigration to the UK of which Poland plays an integral part.

geez, I hate how people in the UK call themselves directors of this or that obscure body.

Yeah, on a superficial level, yes. I had an empathy then that they'd have picked up on. I hooked up with one of my ex-Britam student's kids today (yesterday now). His son is writing a book on psych patients and it really struck me as insightful that he'd do that at such a young age.

Back to drugs. They provided an extra dimension to life and the key part was to get into it and defend your decision to take them and not feel guilty. Again, I'm talking about Class B's.

There is a t-shirt here that I really should have bought on the spot. It contained that message. I was a bit bigger then but have slimmed down. Or the 'I beat anorexia' one, LOL

As you well know, the nursing profession is predicated on trust and best practice. My dad has told me many stories regarding the NHS. There is no sense in being heavy-handed with patients and a lot is based on misunderstanding. When I worked in Cornhill hospital for 3 months, I was in amongst the psych patients. I did database work but went down to the cafeteria, through the corridor with all the wards, to get my lunch. I felt very comfortable as I know how to deal with them.

Oh, drugs. I believe we were born to experience and drugs can teach you many things. I've never taken acid though I'm led to believe that what I did with the hashish block, i.e mixing it in yoghurt for rapid absorption into my system, was tantamount to one and the same. The Australian Pink Floyd sounded very good that night :) :) I don't regret what I did and I knew what I was doing.

If you have a belly, you can always tell her, 'kto nie ma brzucha, kiepsko rucha'. 'They who don't have a belly, fu*k badly' :) :)

Very true, Davie. Under containment, he can recover and get back to normality. This is the point of such facilities. People can feel scared and punishing them doesn't help. Yeah, they shouldn't have gone there in the first place but they did. Establishing contact and reassuring them helps. Being aggressive will only exacerbate the problem.

Ah, but there are friends with benefits, 1jola :) :)

Well, consent is always hard to prove when she is so far gone. That's why I said inadvertent as I didn't want to get into the technicalities of rape (Stallard case in Scotland). There is an understanding that it's just part of the night if you are both wasted and let the questions be asked in the morning.

Well, quite. The head spins and bodily dysfunction should be enough to put anyone off for a lifetime.

It's not common but maybe it's due to her name, Żabka :) I know quite a few diminuitives but the one of frog? Hmm....żabeczka?

Moderation and balance, the key words here. I'm on the legal stuff tonight, Polish honey krupnik :) :)

Back to Britain, I was never really taken by the whole idea of taking a girl that was out of her mind back. It seemed like inadvertent rape. When you take a drug, you lose yourself in the experience and people should leave you be. When I took hashish through a pipe, I just wanted to blend in with the music. It's about respect for space.

Language / Jestes moim najlepszym kumlpem... [18]

Nawzajem is sth like 'likewise' or to explain that the feeling is mutual. Zajemny is also possible. So, if sb wishes you sth and you say 'nawzajem', it means the same 2 u :)

UK, Ireland / Do all Brits take (illegal) drugs? [114]

Heck, even travel guidebooks envisage the use of such drugs by using phrases like 'for those that are psychotropically inclined' etc etc. People from all walks of life may try and conceal their drug use but they have nothing to be ashamed of if they take things like hashish in moderation. As long as it doesn't harm others or hinder their work.

Travel / Visa to Poland (stay more than 90 days in Poland) [45]

True enough but look for more than one opinion. I have been told different things by different officials which forced me to check all manner of official sources to be sure.

God Bless, Seanny :) No thread on drugs is complete without Hicksy. This is real America right here, freedom of speech and no PC anally pedantic nonsense to mask the truths he speaks. One of America's greatest losses, Bill Hicks.

Life / Stereotypes: Do Poles believe in fate? [18]

Based on classes I have done on this theme, they don't seem to be any more into superstitious beliefs than Celtic folk. In fact, Celts seem to be more into them. There is common ground (some universality) but maybe it is that I just haven't heard enough from the Slavic side. Therefore, I'm more inclined to believe that the Celts are more that way but who really knows, right?

UK, Ireland / Do all Brits take (illegal) drugs? [114]

Hehehe, RIP Bill Hicks. He made many valid points about drug use and encouraged the maintaining of an open mind. His sketches were priceless and I enjoyed him as a spokesman. Reeeeeeeeeeeal fuc*in high on drugs :) :)

The 3 is not a mistype. It means trzy, as in trzymaj się (take care). Much like we write, C u l8r or this is 4 u 2.

Kumplem, not kumlpem. I'm glad I have you is the bit you missed. Otherwise, you are spot on! Buziaki or całuski just mean kisses :)
