Work / Survey about English Teachers working in Poland [8]

Probably you need to register first to insert links, photos, etc.

I would like to ask them if they could voice their opinion in an anonymous survey.

I am ready to participate in your survey.

Food / Polish food at home or out? [57]

Only at home, only natural ingredients, nothing pre-made. We bake bread and smoke sausages at home.

Life / Uptight Poles [262]

I find some Polish women so controlling. I guess it is upbringing.

It is historically justified. Polish women took care of home and families when men fought their silly Uprisings in forests, and after losing them, were deported to Siberia or even executed.

News / POLISH COPS TO BREATHALISE CANOE USERS.... [30]

Now it seems you can get a big fine for such silliness....

Quite right so! I am sick and tired of those crazy kayakers, who, under the influence, go totally blind and instead of rowing on the river, they encroach on roads, still rowing!! Can you imagine it??

News / Poland A and Ukraine B. Compare how far Poland has advanced. [282]

Poland should lobby for Ukrainian membership in the EU and then help them to rebuild as was done to Poland...they have it significantly harder than Poland

I agree.

Brat, you are an unusual German, because most of your compatriots fear new members like hell. Why are you doing it? :):)

We are discussing the photos in post 3, not the ones you added at a later date.

What are you trying to prove, man? :):):) I post a hundred of photos each day on different forums. Here, I showed 3 photos from Warsaw as first because they were easily available in the open file, later I added 3 more which I had to dig up from some abyss on my computer. All of them support my idea.

Because Ukraine has never been a state before 1990.

Exactly. And it is our Polish duty to help Ukrainians retain their sovereignty.

Peter Schiff, is the typical doom and gloom merchant, quoting gold will go to us$ 5,000 an ounce in 2012, there are so many of these false prophets about in the banking industry.

Peter Schiff, is just another US broker in Poland trying to influence and buy up Poland for his own personal gain.

It is funny to compare your comments on Schiff and this description:

Schiff is one of a minority of economists credited with accurately predicting the financial crisis of 2007-2010 while "nearly all [macroeconomists] failed to foresee the recession despite plenty of warning signs".[46][47] In his book Crash Proof, he described several aspects of the U.S. economy that would lead to a recession.[3]

Have you had a bad day or what? :):):)

I remember Poland in 2003 and 2004, before we entered the EU and I don't recall it being
"a hell of a lot poorer".

Yes, total agreement. In another thread I posted this data about Polish growth - after the dramatic plunge in 1990 and 1991, it was quite a steady rise, with or without EU.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Poland

So, Western Europe is some kind of Soviet Russia? I've never seen such visual polution in Germany, Scandinavia or France.

Exactly. They are either post- Soviet or new-fascist!! :):):)

You don`t see visual pollution in those countries, huh? Today, huh?

How about the times when they were at the same stage of development as Poland? Huh? Are you sure no visual pollution then? Huh? :):):)

Peter Schiff, is just another US broker in Poland trying to influence and buy up Poland for his own personal gain.

You speak as if you didn`t know that whole capitalism is based on one idea: achieve your own personal gain. I thought you already know it. :):):)

So you have no experience of building in Poland.

If you mean building a house, you are right.
But I was talking about smaller things.

News / "Poland is flourishing" [62]

If it was as simple as that...... You still need to learn a lot about Poland..... E.g., the fact that Poland was growing throughout 1990s and early 2000s, without being a member or subsidies.

Total 1992 2.6%
Total 1993 3.8%

instead of the ridiculous current situation where you can advertise whatever the hell you want if you own the land.

Poland isn`t Belarus or Russia. They can`t tell you what you can, have to or mustn`t put on your own land. Don`t you know it yet? :):):)

Life / Need Some Advice about life in Poland (vehicle, fuel) [24]

I do medical research during the day and after hours/weekends i operate my business from home. I employ people, have an office, have a number of factories etc.

I see. Now it sounds clear. Sorry for being suspicious about you, Mr Rockefeller. :):):)

Ps. are you Scottish as i dont get your sense of humour haha

No, I am half German, half Russian.

Life / Need Some Advice about life in Poland (vehicle, fuel) [24]

I see some major inconsistency here:

You claim

i own and operate a successful multinational automotive design firm.

I really dont need to work whilst over there and could easily support myself without working.

and at the same time you have such petty worries as fuel, what car to choose for Polish roads, whether to be a phone operator or English teacher.... etc etc.

What did your doctors tell you on the last stay? Are you able to control it while out, among people? :):):):)

Out of curiosity how would the Polish police treat me with something like that, how are they about modifying car and race harnesses/roll cages etc? I have partaken in motorsport for a number of years and would love to bring that along with me. I know drifiting has had some events in Poznan and Lodz and a mate of mine (Luke Fink) was flown down to compete at an event in Poznan.

They would certainly detain you and the court would sentence you to 1 year social work as a telephone operator!!!

Also as a fluent Polish speaker what other employment opportunities are out there for multinational corporations.

You can become Foreign Minister, then.

Sorry, don`t mind my jokes. I just can`t resist. Doctors told me last time I was able to control if I try hard it but it seems I am not.

Ukraina mainly sells its production to Russia and gets subsidized gas and oil while Poland sells to the West.

What do you think - is it the reason or result of difference?

whose note is this?

I cant tell you in the public. You need to open your PM box for a while. :):):)

No, it isn`t.

Ps. Will i get raped by fuel prices with a 6L, 12 cylinder car and how long before it will be on cinder blocks with its wheels missing? lol

No, you won`t get raped. Raping starts from 12 litre, 24 cylinders, actually.

Well the chart says it all really. Nice to see you done your homework.

No it doesn`t. :):):)

Nevertheless, lets say Poland got " the biggest slice of cake " then.
Does it change the fact ?

You seem not to do your Maths homework back in school days. :):):)

I provided you with population numbers. Can you count how much money from EU funds statistically falls per capita in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, not to mention Lithuania?

How about using a calculator?
:):):)

Yea it isn't that all that much once you take into account that Poland is much larger and has a much larger population. Should have gotten around 100 billion.

Exactly.

:):):)

Comparing to Czechs, more exactly: 97.71. I used my favourite calculator.

Main Entry: lion's share
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: largest portion
Synonyms: advantage, better part, biggest share, biggest slice of the cake, body, bulk, chief part, gist, main part, mass, meat, most

:):):):)

Are you a teacher, too? :):):):)

Nice to meet you. :):):)
