Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Advice? Get comfortable with the tenses is the best start I can suggest. Otherwise, strictly convo lessons will be all you see.

Love / How do I make a Polish girl cry? [107]

Ah yes, good old Bydgoszcz. The centre of all things, um, Bydgoszczian ;) Forget Kenya or Colombia for coffee, it must be Bydgoszczian ;)

Love / How do I make a Polish girl cry? [107]

The most surefire way? Tell her she is wrong. Then you have to avoid castration ;)

Language / Province or Voivodeship [36]

As I said, ask a representative sample of native speakers and voila!

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

Local councils don't seem to want to fund it.

Love / How do I make a Polish girl cry? [107]

Tell her that she can't get a certificate from intercourse. They love those papers here ;)

Love / Married in Poland, now wanting divorce, does she have rights to half my earnings? [67]

I am saying that it was much harder in those times to be materialistic and go after money. Salaries were far more fixed. It's not a question of character, it's a question of opportunity through a different economic climate.

As Per Usual, a common acronym. Or, if you want, the barman in the Simpsons ;)

Love / Married in Poland, now wanting divorce, does she have rights to half my earnings? [67]

You read into it in completely the wrong way, APU. I admire your consistency, though.

Love / How do I make a Polish girl cry? [107]

Tell her that bigos is German-Lithuanian

News / Global recession in 2012 and how it affects Poland [17]

I just worry that the Jews, and their Scottish buddies, will switch off the electricity out of savings concerns when printing the vast amounts of banknotes needed to keep people afloat ;) ;)

Work / Work-Life balance in Poland - job market? [4]

Work-life balance? It depends on the person. Yup, that's it.

Language / Province or Voivodeship [36]

facebook.com/pages/Voivodship/144065758940132?sk=info, hardly authoritative but I have no reason to doubt it.

Language / Province or Voivodeship [36]

I think the question is one of it being obsolete or not. OED and Webster's recognise it as a valid English word and extra support for its existence lies in the fact that English often borrows from other languages and adapts.

However, the best way to find out would be to ask many native speakers off the cuff. If they weren't able to say or even have an inkling then I think you have your answer.

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]

I just think that the level of Pakistani interest is unnatural. Marrying for visas is about as shallow as you get in terms of interpersonal relations.

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]

Mods, may I recommend IP checks to guard against potential trolls? The level of so-called Pakistani interest is beyond belief. I simply refuse to believe that there can be genuine interest to the level which we see on PF. Frankly speaking, it's absurd!

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Did you say sth mike? Speaking for most people again? Tut tut.

News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

Well, I can well imagine what vibrations you are used to :)

It does appear to be very undercelebrated here. Why is that?

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Up the dose, Mclean

News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

Any positive celebrations, polmed?

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

Congratulations, Mr Boat. All the best!

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

Teachers can be wrong for sure. It goes without saying A teacher should always bear in mind that they don't have the monopoly of wisdom and can be taught themselves. I wonder if Polish teachers understand that ;)

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

Teachers don't need medical degrees. They need a wide range of knowledge from many areas of life.

Now, let's get back on topic.

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

Exactly! Sexual tension leads to such ways ;)

Life / The Blame Game (Have you ever noticed that a Polish person is never wrong!?) [205]

Fuzzyhead doesn't have balls, For4. Look at the gender symbol ;) ;)

News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]

Ah, one of those. Call the schoolmaster!!

News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]

The end of Poland?? Go and watch Allan Bast*rd or Alf Garnett you pathetic hack!!

News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]

Geez, quite a few Poles really lack originality! This has been done before. Where are the spicy threads?

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

Um, Scotland isn't independent. Why not compare??

USA, Canada / Going back to the Old Country of Poland after more than 25 years! (from USA) [249]

His Polish wife won't let him. That much hasn't changed ;)

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

Smurf has a point. It's pretty lame here. Not like it is in America. Maybe many Poles don't yet feel independent ;)
