Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

and there is the difference between men and women. Girls worry about having nice clothes and boys only worry about how to get them off!

Londonchick..you should never tone down your style for anyone..be proud of who you are and how you look and sod what anyone else thinks. That what I love about Britain, the individuality of style and that we dont all feel the need to conform to one look. On that note, there was a British girl murdered recently for being a goth. Her and her boyfriend had their heads kicked in by a couple of teenage boys just for looking different and she died. He says that he wont change the way he looks because then they will have won. The two boys have just got life sentences and they are only 15.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]


no, its just cos you are from SA, where they have no fashion sense whatsoever! Seems to me that the same fashions hit Poland on average about 2 years after they are popular in the UK.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

there have been previous threads on this if you check. There are obviously differences in prices, but I do think that personal styles in Poland differ too, especially from the UK. You can see the difference in the clothes of Poles newly arrived in the UK to those who have been here for some time. Again, of course it depends on where they come from.. I imagine fashion is not so important in a rural area or even small provincial town as it is in bigger cities..much like everywhere really.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

in y


in your opinion no doubt. Having working in asylum centres in the UK I would have to disagree. There are two sides to everything, but personally I think that the UK is one of the more lenient countries when it comes to asylum seekers, too much so for our own good.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

all immigrants of course! Geez ..I think there should be a campaign to get racist, ignorant Brits to leave their own country and welcome more foreigners who are keen to work. The only question is where do we send them? Any ideas??

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]



He's right. When did the Poles take over the country? I must have been asleep...and it were true, where would I go, since this is my home?

I'm not even gonna go there with defending my fellow countrymen's right to throw up in the streets of Krakow or wherever.. we Brits have been doing this since time began, so why should we stop now?

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]


actually plenty of people in Ethiopia have enough food too, and they dont eat rice.


how nice to see such an educated individual on here!

Anyway, this is a Polish Forum, not an Ethiopian one, so I will curb my comments and just feel silently sorry for anyone so ignorant as the above.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

thank you Benek, I wont even bother to reply to the other 2 twats.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

yes I know that the terms are subject to debate, I didnt create them, they are just the latest development jargon. The South is meant to refer to the fact that the majority of the developing nations are south of the equator (but clearly not all of them) and of course there are many differences in terms of which countries actually are developing faster than others, but generalisation is inevitable if we are to lump together so many different countries. DRC has its troubles for sure, but I am sure there are some who would argue that it is a process of development, albeit hampered by political corruption and war, not to mention natural disasters.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]


having been to both quite recently I can say that they have little in common apart from their histories of communism.

I would also like to add that the term 3rd world is outdated and derogatory. Countries formerly known as 3rd world, should be more correctly termed as 'the South' or if you must, the developing nations. I wish more people would bother to travel to these countries as it might make them realise that their perceptions are so wrong.

Why must we label Poland, or any other country for that matter as 1st, 2nd or 3rd..if you really want to look at the bigger picture then there are various indicators that can be used to measure economic wealth.

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]

exactly. Im off to Ethiopia today, which is apparantly where coffee originated.. they have traditional coffee ceremonies where they roast the beans in front of you whilst waving around incense.. and not a Starbucks in sight. Damn shame I dont drink coffee :)

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


i think he must be a few sandwiches short of a picnic

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


thats cos they have lots of money to expand all over the world by overcharging for their products. Imo they are the devils spawn and are a threat to the real coffee shops, i.e. local ones. If there are no Starbucks in Poland, you should be happy.

UK, Ireland / English courses in London [26]

Brighton is nice.. its a seaside town that is only 1 hour by train from London. It has a nice vibe, there are lots of English schools there and its a popular place for foreign students. My advice would be to go in the Summer.. maybe July/August if possible as you could take advantage of the best weather, although April/May should still be OK, just not beach weather. Sorry, I dont know the names of the language schools, but you can easily find out through a google search.

oh me too :)

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

i wonder how people find time to write such lengthy posts when they are most likely at work. Isnt it kind of ironic stating that you have a good job and are highly skilled and hardworking, when one is blatantly skiving on here. <looks round for the boss>

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]


nice tactic.. if I didnt hate ironing I would try it. Theres always the charity shop when you live together.. you just say you have no idea what happened to that particular item of clothing :)

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]


I dont think you can at this early stage without hurting his feelings and possibly putting him off you.. I would suggest taking a shower together before you sleep with him..

As far as the clothes thing goes, remember its whats underneath that counts. I do remember my bf having a pair of jeans that were horrible and I just used to look at them in disgust til he asked me what was wrong and I said that I was sorry but I didnt think they suited him and he looked much better in another pair. At first he was adamant that he liked them, but after one more wear I never saw them again. When I asked him why, he said that he appreciated my fashion advice. I then started buying him clothes that I liked or pointing out other guys who looked good in certain things, either on TV or friends or even in the street. However, be careful what you wish for as in my case he is now even more obsessed with clothes than me and is wardrobe is constantly expanding.

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]

I dont think nationality has anything to do with how often you shower. My partner showers twice a day normally.. he told me that when he was growing up they only had a tin bath in front of the fire and you were only allowed in it once a week cos of water shortages.. so guess hes making up for that now

admin please can you ban the a1makji guy again.. he is extremely offensive and a disgrace to this forum.. in my opinon of course.

UK, Ireland / Polish opinion of England as a country and the English nation [64]


sorry this is slightly off-topic, but I feel compelled to respond to this. I dont think you can even compare the airports in the UK to those in the States for levels of intimidation and agression.. I feel really stressed every time I have to pass through Miami, Houston or any other US airport due to the agressive nature of the customs people.. I guess its all down to cultural differences and what you are used to. Somebody was shouting at me to back up and I had no idea what they were talking about.... anyway I could go on, but this is not the place for it....to get back on thread, my Polish partner likes English women :)

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

some people just dont get the donkey's sense of humour.
I dont like the weather there, it rains a lot... and I went to a beautiful campsite where the owners were so rude it was truly unbelievable.. they clearly hated English people, yet they were running a tourist business.. lots of people went there every year just because of the location, but said that the family who ran the site were always horrible to English people. They wont be getting my money again.

Travel / Cheaper Flights to Poland [50]

i wish I knew what a sticky thread was :( guess its safe to assume some kind of thread that sticks around for a while?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

can people please stop looking up useless stats. and get on with the jobs they are being paid to do instead of wasting time at work discussing immigration issues.

Travel / Cheaper Flights to Poland [50]

Ryanair have some good deals from London to Krakow and other cities at present. they are 1p plus tax. Average price is around £35 return if you travel on certain days and off peak times.

its nice that you can speak for the whole of Britain.. perhaps you should be running for Prime Minister :)
