Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]


You can't take the stupid out of Real Estate, can you?

If average is misleading, then every price the average is made up of is 'misleading'. The average is neither right, nor wrong its the average of the two.


Those are nominal prices. Add on 20% to the 2006 price, for instance, for inflation

In Battersea, on my street, prices are at 2006 level but that ignores the 20% rise in inflation

History / Was PRL Poland? [37]


Irrelevant as they didn't have free of choice. When they had real freedom they voted a few percent for the communists.

USA, Canada / My story. Born In the USA - do I have a chance in Poland, my Mother Country? [69]


If it makes you feel better, blame the messenger. But its not just Europeans, the rest of the world has the same opinion. Stupid American is the image you have.

UK, Ireland / Poles 'failing to integrate in the UK'? [58]


I lived in the UK for over 40 years and never set foot in a Polish club. Why would I want to hang about with 80 year olds?

Besides, going to Polish clubs means you do NOT integrate as they speak Polish there.

Life / I met Polish girl, she is 15. Moving to Poland to start new life - is it a safe place? [30]

Yes she's 15, although maybe in Poland she would be described as being in her 16th year.


It means the local Polish men are not going to be happy at you screwing their girls.

Not happy at all.

There are many jobs that are not in call centers, what are the minority of offshore business. Companies like IBM, Google, Cisco, Wipro, Credit Suisse do not have any call centre requirements at all. Its back off/development work - you don't move that at the drop of a hat.

Yes. The Argentinians are banned from buying any foreign currency. If he is Argentinian he has a valid reason to want convert peso's into hard currency. What the mad Argentinian dictator Kirchner is doing to her people is criminal.

I seem to remember there was another airline who failed at the same time as XL. However, any company that failed wold have stranded passengers, you just would not have heard about it. I'm not about to trawl through ten years of airline news, but airline failures are normal practice world wide.

Do you really need to stay in a 4 star hotel? You don't get much more than an increase of boredom. A one or two stars will be clean and have everything you need and you won't have to stay in big cities, there is much more choice.

I find 4/5 star hotels impersonal and bland, they all feel the same, you could be anywhere.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


I don't know, but those numbers are way way more than Poland. Unlimited Internet access is about $25 here for instance. Gas $500?? I can't imagine Poles would spend 10% of that..

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


Then Polish Minimum wage would be one definition of poverty level. 1500pln/month.

There is more information here:

The number of poor in Poland has fallen by eight million since the country joined the European Union, new figures reveal.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


The income level against the COST of living in that country is the usual definition.

Another is the income level against the average income within a country (which is obviously stupid as by definition there must be someone above and below average).

Travel / OLT Jetair (flight to Wroclaw) [38]


He's Polish, so if he has any EU assets or visits Europe they can be at risk. Its not just him, however, its anyone who posts rumors who is EU based.

US 'freedom of speech' laws only applies to US citizens, if the EU can get you the US will comply with the treaties.

Looking like its true, therefore not a problem.

John Farley, OBE AFC CEng is not 'some Bloke on the Internet'. He was the chief test pilot for the Harrier

He is 79 years old and a respected member of PPrune, a forum where bullshitters like yourself are quickly weeded out. if you actually read the whole thread you will see the detailed discussion of the loses, including newspaper reports, accident reports and person remembrances.


Its a incomplete list for gods sake. I also posted US statistics which are similarly horrific.

I think Chris R's description of you is pretty apt. You will go to any lengths to prove you are right, its like some silly game. You don't know everything, so stop trying to prove you do.

On public transport she will be fine. I wouldn't advice hitchhiking alone, obviously. But can't see much problem in the cities she is going to.

So what, nothing spectacular there. Do you know the sort of death rate the RAF had in peacetime training pilots in the 1950's? Hundreds per year.


Playing the race card again. Stick that where the sun doesn't shine. I despise you, I'm not anti-Semitic because of that. I find it offensive that you distort facts to push your agenda, that doesn't make me anti-Semitic. I simply hate lying, economical-with-the-truth, bullshitters such as yourself.

You don't source facts, you make off the cuff claims. Other posters have posted sources showing the Jewish collaboration with the communists and you now claim that there is no proof.

Lying Harry.

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


Agreed. Women doing this are making excuses not to be with someone. Waiting for Mr Perfect will guarantee you stay single for ever



Quite frankly randomly picking any guy will give you just as good a chance of success. Which is why the Asian's Astrology technique is successful..
