Kostya

I'm from Odessa

hi kostya.it is nice to hear from someone from the ukraine.i was in odessa a few years ago.it is a lovely city.i and my wife have traveled from zamosc in poland to lviv and caught a train to odessa.next day we went to symferopol and further to a small town on the coas of the black sea.what a fantastic time we had there!i hope one day w'll go there again.

greetings from a polish man in the uk.

zdes htoto pa ruskie gavarit?

Does anyone here speak Russian?

the main rule on this forum is that we all speak in english here regardless of our nationality.

Kostya

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

there aren't any,

yes it doesn't but statisticly it shows that there are very few such families.

I know one personally

and you will find several

one here,several there.nice.it is estimated that around 750.000 poles lives in the uk(official sources give a smaller number).you know one family which live in a council flat,heard about several.is it a lot ?

getting a council flat - A-Z".

why not to get such a flat if you are entitled to it(without cheating of course)?it seems that you want poles to pay as much as possible but not to get anything.

isn't a single Polish family in the whole of UK that got it.

i've never said that.i said that [b][/b]I don't know such a family.

I am disparaging - I have nothing against Polish people applying for council flats.

but by saying that you feed trolls like uk or freddy.why you don't say anything about asians or africans in the uk.they claim a lot and tend to live in big groups in a house(i know a few such families where 3 generations live together even though they are well off.doesn't it bother you?

lastly,the british.i spoke to a few brits in my area and they said that a lot of people live in council flats or claim housing benefits(you can get up to 100% refund of your rent and 100% reduction of your council tax,so virtually it means that you live in a council flat). i don't really know official figures but from my experience I assume that the procentage of WORKING CLASS british families which claim benefits is high.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

we don't live, like some Polish families, in a council flat

ok, that's enough.another crap.
i don't know a single polish family who live in a council flat.it is extremly difficult to get a council flat for recent migrants.i was lucky to take part in a benefit session.none of the polish people who attended could dream about getting such a house. the only support they can get is a child tax credit and child benefit.that's all.

to get such a flat/house you must be a single mother,earn crap money or something similar.on the other hand a great number of brits in my factory openly say that they abuse the system.one,divorced woman,says that she lives with her partner in a council flat,while his flat is rented.this chap is a engineer superviser and gets a lot of money.

i would say that 50-70% of british families live in council flats/houses so please don't tell me that the poles abuse the system.

PS.i am not talikng about office workers ect who are well off without getting a council flat but about working class-labourers,production oparators ect.

Life / Bollywood in Poland [32]

IndianMan

why all indian movies are the same?
there is no kisses let alone sex scenes in those movies(strange! kama sutra came from india).
usually they are a bit childish and naive.
female voices sound always the same.
a lot of movies tells stories about posh and loaded young people not many about day to day reality in india.

Life / How Safe Are the Polish Cities? [179]

Also I think many people wanted for crimes in Eastern europe have come to the UK to hide.

i think you are mistaking albanian/kosovan gangs with eastern european ones.the problem is that they are white and speak the language which is similar to polish.a lot of this guys came here after the war in kosovo.they were asked to leave after the war ended but a lot of them stayed on,many of whom are simply gangsters.there is a big problem with this guys especially in london but they could be seen almost everywhere.i know quite a lot of them and have to say they are a bit dodgy.some of them(strangely most of them have regular jobs)steal or are pimps or mugg others.one of them was a car thief in albania and showed me his 6(!) wounds after he was shot(ak-47) by another gang. i haven't heard about any polish gang yet

Life / How Safe Are the Polish Cities? [179]

steven i am too drunk to answer your bull ****.i will gwet back 2morrow.i think you need a very big hug...very big hug ..or ..i don't know

Poland was almost in a state of anarchy.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN THAT WAS COS I HAVE NOT NOTICED?

No wonder, many choose "easy money," a Robin Hood mentality.

GUYS DO NOT COME TO PL COS EVERYONE IS WAITING TO ROB YOU

This abrupt change - not only in Poland, but also in other new "democracies," Russia being the scariest example - let until now dormant powers

SORRY BUT YOU MUAST BE A FCUKING IDIOT COMPARING RUSSIA AND POLAND

This abrupt change - not only in Poland, but also in other new "democracies,"

WHAT THE FCK.DID I LIVE ON ANOTHER PLANET?

is also wise not to carry chains of gold or golden ear-rings, since it is not uncommon that perpetrators will snatch it off your neck or even worse, your ears.

OF COURSE NOTHING LIKR=E THIS IS HAppening in the uk
