OK, perhaps it's more accurate to say "lack of whitespace" haha


I can't argue with that, lol :)

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Despite the almost p3undone-like lack of punctuation (lol), that's a great post.

You should teach that awful Polkatagalong woman something about humility.

Unsurprisingly, you have a boyfriend, and our self-styled "Miss Polonia"... hasn't :D


Well, they could, but suggesting that he's a "bitter because he still hasn't made enough money to buy a 30m2 flat in Poland and can't stop attacking Harry and Delph because of it" type person would be far more accurate :)


True.

Although there is also a cynical view regarding why Poles allow their parents to live with them, but I'm not in the mood ;)

In another poll, 99% of North Koreans said they fully supported the current regime.

The other 1% were executed.

Thanks. No wonder Poland never wins any medals lol

News / UN names Warsaw world's 19th most prosperous city [6]


Apart from my relatives, I've only met three people from major Polish cities: a nurse from Poznan (great bloke), and my ex-girlfriend and her son - both from Bydgoszcz (allegedly - I suspect "wiocha" myself, lol).

Of the remainder, none came from Warsaw or the major cities, but small towns/villages I'd mostly never heard of. That tells you a lot about the kind of people who move from Poland to the UK. Most of the educated big-city Poles can find work back home, even if they have to move to Warsaw to do it lol. Just like over here, really - if you want to "make it", you probably have to move to London.


I've been saying it for years. Americans may knock it, but it's a city full of potential. Those who know, know. Those who don't know... get to know ;)

UK, Ireland / Do the poles like British culture [127]


We know you're not exactly Mensa material.

However, if you weren't too lazy or stupid to use Google Translate, you would have learned that "Znasz j. polski?" actually means "Do you know Polish?" (i.e., do you know the language).

So the reply "kind of" means that rozumiemnic knows a bit of Polish, not that she is part-Polish, fool.

Now stop the constant attacks on respected female posters, you sad bully.

Hi Crow.

Now shall I ask isthatu2 to tell you what we think of Serbs, or shall I provide you with the polite version.

UK, Ireland / Do the poles like British culture [127]

It depends on how much you earn, and how you live. Someone who takes home £1200 a month probably can't, but I could easily save 50% of what I earn if I wanted to. I don't drink, smoke or take drugs, I don't eat takeaways (I had some pie & mash today though, and very nice it was too, lol), and I don't go out partying every night.

My biggest non-essential expense is sport-related - I spend 12 hours a week in the pool and 4-6 hours a week in the gym (sometimes more) and the cost of membership + fluids/supplements/clothing soon adds up. But I'm training for competition, so it's worth every penny :)

UK, Ireland / Do the poles like British culture [127]


This is a valid point, despite what some think. If I could earn £60 an hour in a foreign country for working in a cafe or in a warehouse, instead of what I'm qualified to do, I'd do it for a few years - because I could put a huge deposit down on a house upon return.


Not exactly - that would be like a Pole selling his house in Poland, paying cash for one over here, and living off their savings.


Please don't. It's oxon - he doesn't deserve apologies.

Travel / Is there a healthy expats scene in Poland? (drinks, food, golf, etc.) [143]


+1

They are mostly the kind of bare-chested, silver chain-wearing, tattooed thugs who put "Burnely (sic) til I die" on their Facebook page (or whatever inbred chav town they come from). People like that surplus c*** who gouged his girlfriend's eyes out. Unfortunately, my sister loves such losers :) Of course they will be "Burnley until they die", because (a) they will never hold down a decent job, and (b) they would lose their council house if they moved for a better one :D I would love to become a much-derided "expat", but I'm too old now, lol.

Let's face it, you're never going to return to this forum (these "researchers" never do :p ), but this link may be a good start for others who are genuinely interested in such matters:


oi... some parts of Salford :p


That one closed a couple of years ago.


According to "Shameless", there's one in Benchill! This is false. lol

How many have you slept with? Your post suggests that you may only have slept with one - in which case, you have NO idea who makes the best lovers.

UK, Ireland / Dying Polish woman in the uK whose last wish is to spend last few weeks back in Poland [50]


How predictable - Europeans contribute, while Americans think that prayer will do.

How about asking your god why he wants to take someone like this from her family at such a young age?

Life / Poles and the temperatures they heat their homes [36]


It's that ridiculous Polish idea that you have to do certain things "bo zmarzniesz" - like being forced to wear a jumper in June, when all your mates are out in T-shirts :)


Furnace??? :D

I used to live with a Canadian - some of the words she used made me laugh, too ;)

Life / Poles and the temperatures they heat their homes [36]

Which is one of the main reasons why I won't stay with relatives in Poland - only air conditioned hotels for me :D

I've had three of these today, because they're 3 for £1.00 at Tesco (one of the very few things I buy at Tesco these days, Sainsburys all the way):

UK, Ireland / Why Manchester rules over Warsaw :) [65]


I love the accents round here, though I prefer those from north of the M60, like Bury/Bolton etc.

Salford accents do it for me, too - the chavvier the better. Very unusual for me, as I'm not exactly keen on "council estate" accents, but Salfordian is a unique exception :D Which is just as well, seeing as that's where I live :D You won't hear too many of these on TV except a few Corrie actresses, and Janeece from Waterloo Road of course. I suspect that this is what isthatu2 may mean by


lmao


It's nothing compared to places like Collyhurst, Newton Heath, Clayton, Gorton etc. The rough parts of south Manchester get all the press, but there are places at the other sides of town which I would be much more wary of wandering around in. And that's not even mentioning the dodgiest parts of Salford (i.e., most of it).


Yes, you definitely should. It's changed a LOT in the last 15 years or so.

I bet she was from that so-called "media-controlling" community as well :D


I work in a mainly female environment (and I like it that way). Occasionally men are the majority on a shift, but that's always good fun - we can talk about cars and footie and hot chicks for a change - it somehow makes it more fun if manliness only dominates from time to time haha.

It's pawian who is full of fail, as always...


Yet our Krakowian self-proclaimed "genius" fails to understand that the above statement means that 83% of British women CAN crack the art of cooking".

Which probably means England 1, Poland 0 (or it could be if they had closed the roof in time, lol).

It's too expensive for breakfast anyway.

I have porridge :D

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]

Me too. Most of my English girlfriends cooked pretty well. The least likely to cook was an ex from Bydgoszcz, so let's put an end to the lazy generalisations. There are loads of great British chefs, whereas Poland has a half-French guy (iirc) and Magda Gessler, lol :)

Life / A rant about "patriotism" in today's Poland [60]


Someone who knows what the phrase "tongue in cheek" means.

Besides, Poland would be a better place if it lost 160 000 of its backward, religious bigots. As would any country, come to think of it.

Life / A rant about "patriotism" in today's Poland [60]

It's better to praise and defend an adopted country, than it is to constantly bang on about "patriotism" after having deserted your country.

There are plenty on here who do the latter. Usually those who go on about "faggots", "the Jew" and "fuhrer Tusk", funnily enough. They can PiS off :)
