Food / Polish roast pigeon anyone? [17]

Love pigeon, easily available around these parts due to the farmers shooting them. Great with red currant jelly :)

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]

I know plenty of successful people in Krakow who don't speak a word of Polish. Though learning the language will make things a lot easier for you in the long run.

Work / Companies within Poznan (positions available for native English speakers) [18]

Poznan is a hell of a tough place without language skills, education and relevant experience. Oh, and basic competence.

I'm sure he will know that from personal experience.

Maybe starting a thread with advice for ex-pats looking for work in Poznan, would be more useful.

Delph, is this really something you REALLY need to be commenting on?
Apart from posting the bleeding obvious, if you aren't gonna offer him some kind of job or advice then why comment at all?
It sounds a lot like you are trying with the hard push to sell your mates position of work.

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

Most common vodka is Glens, made in Ayrshire Scotland, its good if u want to get drunk, but for taste not so.

I always thought the Germans were noted for having the best ales and beers.

No the Czechs and Poles. IMO
English real ale is good, but as a standard beer you cant get better than the Polish stuff. In Scotland our mainstream beer is Tennents, its ******* awful only those homeless dossers would drink it. Same with Bells whisky, that in Poland goes for about 25-30 pln a glass....... god awful crap!

Oh Hudson, why wont you just take your flamming to other places. If anyone is accused of not integrating it will be the Brits abroad.

Mind to wipe the sh1t of the soap before you use it for ur ass.

A few do. But when you question them they soon back down. Usually it's my friends cant find jobs because the foreigners work for less and have taken them all. Then I normally point out the Poles at work and they agree that they do brilliant. Though I'm in a specialised field, our Polish carers do a great job. Also a lot of my staff are also in the same boat so actually understand where the Poles are coming from e.g moving for work.

It's summer so we have taken on a few Polish students for these months knowing they will be leaving soon. We can't offer short term work to most of the locals as they are not prepared to do it. And the ones who do generally want longer term positions that we can't cover. Our full-time positions are all taken, but they get resentful towards the end of their contracts and start kicking up crap if we can't offer them full time placements.

Don't forget we would all be eating turkish kebabs... if it was not for the brave ' Hussars '

The Poles might have been eating kebabs, I doubt the Brits would have been forced to. We eat the stuff when drunk :D

I must admit that I have a few social nights with the local Poles, but I'm the only Scot to be invited or even be talked to at work. Thing is integrating goes both ways. My Polish co-workers were happy to chat away when they found out I lived in Poland for so long. Before that they would either not talk or be too scared to loosen up as I was their boss. lol

Life / Is it McPoland? [63]

You can't be serious. Anything is better than McShite, KFC for instance.

KFC is full of crap also and there isn't one in my town. But I guess you eat butter bean salads for your fast food options lol

Life / Is it McPoland? [63]

Its very expensive compared to Polish food

Is it? Last time I had a zapiekanka from plac nowy it cost over 12z.
Or a "hotdog" (made from turkey) from the kiosk cost about 9z.
And we all know about the "cleanliness" of those places.
It's all about personal tastes and balancing diets. Don't get me wrong I might treat myself to a McDonalds only once a month at work but like I said before, if it has a market, then it will sell.
