UK, Ireland / Are the working class in the UK now shunned in the 'new' Poland? [53]

There's a topic on here that covers it..never heard of it myself either..but aparently is popular in schools in Poland as well as selling yourself for a cheap phone to the lowest bidder at the nearest Galleria

UK, Ireland / Are the working class in the UK now shunned in the 'new' Poland? [53]


Hey at least when our little wh(res get pregnant - they dont pretend its anything more than promiscuity at its worst..unlike in Poland where they say they were playing sun moon and stars..WTFITAA? At least our lot can blame it on being drunk and not lying on the playground floor leggs a kimbo for anyone who wants ago!


No it has not...Dont even lie...Its only the last couple of years...If you say otherwise, I will produce evident to the contary..not tonight, but will on Monday when I speak to friends in recruitment! BTW, they dont use such contracts, but they know agencies that do out of their field of recruitment!

Dariusz, I do actually like you, in a strange way, but you're here on a Friday too...what does say about you? You're married..Sorry but generally Friday is a night single hard working (usually more hours than our married couterparts do) stay in and have a glass of wine, generally you wont see people like Harry on here on Saturday!

As for gay people who adopt..Well I know two gay guys who offer respite service to parents...They do an invaluable job and care for the kids they get sprung on them..You have no idea..they were passed by social services because they have been together for 10 years and are stable and dont do it for money like many hetro couples do - they do because they cant have kids but would love to help kids..nothing perveted..just to people do something out of love. Such a shame people have such views.

3 times...Have you been to England?


I joined this forum in 2006 before my first visit to Poland, I googled "Polish pleasantries" and it brought me here..I like to be able to at least say "please and thank you" its just the way I was brought up.


Why do you post here? Its forum..people do that dont they? Strangely enough..


No, but I have a friend coming tomorrow, I'll ask them to tell me what it means...


Either Polish men are lying tvats in England or the figures are wrong...either way something is a miss!

So why are you here Zeb? Creating your "Im addicted" thread after a couple of weeks, I dont feel the need to do that after 4 years! Do you like attenion? No change there for some Polish girl evidently not getting enough attention!

Of course we do, but it would seem there are less in the UK.

You made this personal...I didn't...my mate comes from a small area in Poland and has told me some stories about drunks..I personally have never encountered such behaviour in my own area...

We have people that go into the cities and get too drunk at weekend..In Poland you have people in small rural areas that drink all day ever day and make a nusance of themsevles...Our villages are respectable....put your own house in order before casting stones on mine!

P...L...EEEEZZZZ..So its all Brits that are getting drunk at weekend?


Yeah, they're just waiting for some unsuspecting person to walk past! Damn them chavs..by the way most chavs are sat in parks with a bottle of cider..not allways..you might want to re-think your post :D


God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
Oh, save us all!

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over

From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

In love's endearments fond,
In wedlock's holy bond,
Blest be our Queen.
In her blest progeny,
We future Monarchs see,
Of England bold and free,
God save the Queen!

Lord let wars' tempest cease;
Fold the whole world in peace
Under thy wings.
Make all the nations one;
All hearts beneath the sun;
Till Thou shalt reign alone;
Great King of Kings.

Pray tell? If you are referring to the UK, we may be known as "binge" drinkers, but never alcoholics unlike certain other nations (rather go out and get a bit tipsy at the weekend than have bottle of vodka in my bottom draw at work!)..As for drugs, maybe the US they have the highest use per capita than any other country - alledgely! Maybe you've never heard of khat which most men chew in places like Arabia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, the Congo, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Africa...take a step outside your back yard and you will see that Britain is quite tame in comparison to certain other nations with regards to drug taking and alcohol consumption...We like a good time..we work hard and play hard..nowt wrong with that!


I feel like a Gene, I just granted your wish!


Oooohhh...Wrong me thinks!


Depends on ones preferences and standards how one can define "good"...

UK, Ireland / Nursing staff from Eastern Europe about to 'flood' into UK ? [45]


Thats because the training used to be second to none, my sister hates the way things have gone and doesnt believe its the way to produce "good" nurses.


They're privately run and they dont care about the primary care of the person in their care - its a bit like "care in the community" for the mentally ill - we have actually forgotten what "care" actually means!

What your view on the lift of of the cap for use of facilities for private patients with in NHS hospitals?

I personally think this government is going to run the NHS in to the ground and go the way of the US, we will have several over-subscribed hospitals for NHS care the rest (the newer ones) will end up being private!

UK, Ireland / Nursing staff from Eastern Europe about to 'flood' into UK ? [45]


I can assure you plenty of English females and males train to be nurses, my sister is a lecturer at Salford Uni and teaches plenty, you might want to ask why the government changed the system so that now nurses in this country dont actually get a great deal of training on the wards before they are let lose on patients, Im not saying they are "dangerous" far from it, but the practical experience which was once gained has now been replaced with lots of paperwork..Last time I was in hospital I had a lovely Spanish lady looking after me, I couldn't have wanted for better care, her English was also flawless.

I think Dave will back me up on this? (regarding the training)


Bank work has always been a way for nurses to top up their wages...All my family have done it.

The OP might want to ask why a considerable amount of our nurses go abroad working in private clinics? My cousin is a cardiologist and was offered a research post in the US, so its not just a one way street.

But regarding agencies, I think after Daniel Ubani incident I think they are more wary about the level of English a person possesses.

I will add this, there are far more nurses trained in this country than there are jobs and as NMP pointed out more services will be cut, certain A&E units are now closes in the evenings in the Greater Manchester area, thus diverting services to already over used hospitals...The idea of bringing nurses from another country in masses will cause many problems for the NHS, the unions will fight tooth and nail to stop it.

UK, Ireland / Are the working class in the UK now shunned in the 'new' Poland? [53]

Exactly, agencies now have "zero" hour contracts and anything above that is a bonus! Most jobs paying minimum wage are in the service sector which means they are generally only part-time, if someone does two jobs, they then start getting in to the messy situation of paying higher rates of tax on what is considered a "second" job - you only get a tax allowance on one job - second jobs you are taxed on every penny you earn.

And pay out 4 times as much -average cost of a pint of lager in Poland circa. 6zl average cost of a pint in the UK circa. £3.50 - average cost of a 1 bed apartment 750 zl average cost in the UK circa. £500 - are you catching my drift? At minimum wage in the UK a Pole can just survive living with serveral other Poles in a small apartment - personally I dont consider that a life - so whilst its 4 times as much, it's all relative!

Minimum wage in the UK is set to increase to £5.93 later this year, even with this increase its not exactly going to afford you to have an even reasonable life, unless you work about 80 hours a week.

(I just got these averages off a guy in our Warsaw office, they are not something I plucked out of the air)


Not really, balancing the books isnt as hard as you might think - a basic booking keeping course would be adequate - then all you need is to see an accounant a couple of times a year - its not as expensive as you might think.

The Thistle Euston is in a good location for the tub and trains, it all depends on your budget, there's Ibis and the Travel Inn or Travel Lodge which are cheaper and do the job, or if you want higher end the Raddison is lovely..But I prefer the Bloomsbury personally (only if work paying though :D) )

It wasn't "made legal" because it was never illegal in Poland!

Does your stupidity know no bounds? Are you aware of what the punishment was for homosexuals back in the day in England?


I just get annoyed when fookwits like you write shyte.


Actually yes they do, because I live in England.


I dont actually think gay people need "protecting" what they need is for silly kunts like you to shut up and let them get on with it...Which 99% already do... The battle has been won...go take a nap and wait for the next worthy cause!

Not really, women stopped parading in the street demand rights when they got the vote.

Now to:


You have no idea what you are talking about - a couple living together regardless of their sexuality should have the same rights - where a spouse can gain medical insurance because their husbands company supplies its so should a person in same sex relationship..this is just an example..there are 100s of others, you being an ignorant peasant, I wouldnt expect you to understand.

Life / As EuroPride visits Warsaw - is it the start of overdue social change in Poland? (homosexuality promotion) [144]

Same can be said for the UK too - Im also not aware of any "promoting" of homosexuality in schools over here either...

Not sure what the OP means, if she means the tolerent attitude, she might want to learn a bit of history, homosexuality was still a crime in the UK only 40 odd years ago...Yet it has never been considered a crime in Poland....which actually makes Poland a more "tolerent" country than England...

Actually no, it was pathetic.

? If they look straight how do you know they're gay? Are you stalking potentially gay men?


Couldnt have put it better myself - why do people think that ALL gay people want to be prancing in the street with over the top gayness?


There are plenty of idiots in the UK who think this way too.

I wish people would stop labelling people...gay, straight, bi...what difference does it make!

We have one in our Warsaw office, he's just been shat on from a great height by some "lovely" Polish girl who ripped him off and dumped him :( She'll be beggin for his forgiveness in a few months, but hopefully he'll tell her to frigg off!


Hardly, you'd be surprised to hear that there are plenty of Polish men who are sick of the "princess" attitude and quite like British women :D So you didnt get a "rare gem" you got one of the masses joining the ranks!


She just wanted to make herself sound speical :D My mate was at his friends wedding the other week, he is 32, she is 29 so yes you are correct...
