Australia / Poles invaded the wrong Anglo-Saxon country [29]

Holy sh!t, I think *I* am going to immigrate to Australia! Those kangaroos are stuffed with gold!

I read somewhere that the average wage for the mining industry was around 100k Aus dollars. This salary far exceeds even IT specialists and uni professors.

However, Sydney is the most expensive city in the world to live in... hence the the salary has to be high. Still, there's a lot of money to be made in Oz, I should know...

Good luck to any Pole who wants to work there. It should suit them; healthy lifestyle, good diet and a strong emphasis on sports and recreation.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

But Poles would still emigrate to Germany and the US. The destination would change but nothing else. The UK isn't the only country in the world and so leaving the EU wouldn't have the effects that you so desire.

And as far as the re-population issue... I've already offered my services on this forum on at least one occasion... ;) The offer still stands ;)

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

Pawian, do not worry. This is but a rhetorical question. It will never materialise. The UK will NOT leave the EU.
Yes, there are idiots who buy into the media propaganda but it's just a few million chavs who can't see the big picture.

I'm more worried about what I would do if the UK were to leave the EU! Getting married to an EU citizen would certainly be high on my priority list, lol :)

I have an EU passport, whether it's affiliated to the UK or not is not important to me. But, I'm determined to keep it:) I'll swap it for a Pole's if they so wish...

Seriously, Poles are safe in the UK and I'm quite safe here.
Nothing's going to happen... :D

Language / When is speaking Polish showing off and when is it ok? [46]

Edited

Back on topic, I would say that learning foreign languages (especially Polish) was the smartest move I ever made. Speaking Polish to a Pole can never be considered 'showing-off'. I've had to use it to communicate more effectively with people from Czech, Slovakia, Lithuania and Ukraine in the past. It is often used as a 'lingua-franca' in the UK for many central European migrant workers...

UK, Ireland / Why are Brits so left-wing? [60]

Why are Brits so left-wing?

We're not. That's the short answer.

Most British people I've spoken to are pretty left-wing politically. They all seem to be pro-gay rights, pro diversity, non-religious and extremely proud of their country being multicultural.

None of the above are anything to be ashamed of. Yes, we do have racists and homophobes but they're a minority.

Right-wing Brits don't seem to exist, at least not in the American sense. By American standards Brits are as socialist as they come.

Right wingers in the American sense doesn't exist anywhere outside the USA. Deal with it.

Quite right Zetigrek. Americans have a shock when the get first hand experience of the real world...

When I visited the UK I thought I'd like it, but I found the political correctness oppressive.

That's rich coming from a Yank. We say the same things about you guys... lol

The UK technically has a "Conservative" party, but I think its an insult to conservative ideology for them to be called conservative. The Conservative party in the UK is slightly to the left of Obama.

Both the Conservative (Tories) and Liberal Party (Whigs) were around long before the USA existed. Conservatism in the US can be considered radicalism to others...

And as for the British "Labour Party", I don't think any party like that would ever win an election in America.

I don't think either the Republicans or Democrats would win an election in the rest of the civilised world. Unless ofc, you have to rig the elections like you did in Florida a few years back George 'W'...

In short, I would rather have a right-wing conservative or a socialist Labour government in the UK than some idiot like 'Dubbya'.
Get a grip on gun control, gay rights, abortion, the death penalty and a million other issues and then come on a forum and slag off another country for being modern, civilised and liberal. Or 'Left-wing' as you call it...

Work / Finding work in Warsaw / Poland as an English private tutor [63]

"neither can an american" - Humor with irony, all in one pithy little sentence!

Actually, don't joke about that! Have you ever heard a Polish teacher try to teach English?
Those that learnt American English.... omfg! It's not funny. They should sue their teachers...
Imagine if I was teaching Polish in England, except I'd learnt Czech and tried to pass that on as Polish....
If you can understand that then you'll realise why the poster posted that comment...

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

simple advise , ,,, date a woman of your nationality or higher

Simple advise... You are a loser. I'll send you a spoon so that you can literally eat my 4ss. ok?
If Polish girls take your money and leave you then that is your failing as a potential suitor.
They obviously have found someone better than you. And leave you you as soon as they can.
Are you now bankrupt? ha ha ha:D

I'm living here. I meet lots of women every day. I have no complaints... Very nice friendly girls... good friends too:D

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

MONEY can buy love.

Money can buy sex but not love. Maybe this is where you guys are going wrong...

Look at Silvio Berlusconi and Hugh Hefner ;)

And Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, David Beckham....
So some women are attracted to fame, wealth, status and power. Nothing new there.

This is not only your experience, but everyone's experience unfortunately :(

No. This is the experience of losers who think that they can buy love.
I'm sorry but you can't buy a girlfriend like she's an iPod.
If they took you for a ride then that says more about you guys then these girls.
If you're only asset was money and you had nothing else to attract her then that's your fault, not hers.

Love / Observations and experiences so far about Polish women [93]

TommyG there is no snow in Poland now... you are not in Poland.

Yes, there is. Well in my town there is :P Yes, I am definitely in Poland. You can ask admin to confirm my location (country but not city please admin :) ). I've been here nearly five months now.

on the other hand, it's true that polish women took cheating to a whole new level of ART

No, it's not true. Men and women both cheat, that's life! Deal with it (and cry more)...

Have you ever been to Poland.

Yes. I work here. And I was twice here previously on holidays.

TommyG, you have never been in Poland.

lol:D Next you'll being telling me that it's fake snow outside my window...

and of course he loves slagging off the UK now, typical expat behavior

But I did that whilst living in the UK. Why the heck do you think I left?

He's only been in Poland 5 minutes and already it's a "paradise" lol

Is that such a crime? I like the people better here :)

Work / Finding work in Warsaw / Poland as an English private tutor [63]

Lol! Pantsless. I made a promise to someone and I'm not going to break that promise. That's all I'm going to say about that...

I don't feel threatened at all. Your 'half-assed' game is your business. I couldn't care less.
Don't forget that in 8 months you gotta kiss my ass. You said you would. In fact, if you can't wait that long, you can kiss it right now... :D

Ideas welcomed!

You need to ask the experts here mate. I'm just a noob!
I've had some very good advice and some bad advice.
The only way that you will know if you can succeed is if you come here and try for yourself.
Start by picking up the phone and calling some schools. That's what I did...

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

Examples are the amount of money i spent on her,im not a tight person with money but i ended up buying for her a new laptop,watch,clothes,shoes,paying for all our nights out

Polish women aren't that bad. Usually they go 'Dutch'.
It looks like you and your mate were trying to buy love. Sorry, but it doesn't work like that.
If these women liked and respected you they wouldn't have taken a penny.
It looks like they saw you coming...
Money can't buy love. Live and learn...

OMG, all the unnecessary b1tching about Polish women. Polish women are just like any other woman.
Except.. they are prettier, better educated, healthier with slim physiques and VGSOH :)

White estate trash.

I wouldn't use that expression to define Polish women. Even if they are 'poorer' they don't act like the scum that you find in certain other countries.

There's a lot of white trash in the UK and the US and a lot more countries too I dare say.

Polish guys get cheated on ALL OF THE TIME.

So do many other guys. Women lie and cheat, that's quite common. And guess what? Guys do too.

Then he goes very angry but not on Ania or Marcin, but on the person pointing them the truth

No. Normally he batters Marcin to a pulp.

This thread makes me afraid of the women I am about to face.

Are you joking? Don't listen to all the haters they probably just got dumped for someone better.
Polish women are very friendly. They make very good mates as well as girlfriends. Most of my friends are Polish women :)

I have no hindu or muslim blood in me:P

it was you that wrote that wasn't it........

Yes it was. Well done. And what? It's a 100% true fact. I'm sorry if you misinterpreted what I wrote.

i can assure you i am not 'crying' i just find you pathetic.

Yes, you are. And I find you pathetic too:P

i bet you went to poland looking for a shag from some girl whose level of language and cultural awareness

What the hell does that mean? Are you trying to imply that Polish women are somehow inferior? It looks like you're the racist.
I came here to work and I am very satisfied with all aspects of life here:)

i met plenty of english guys like you in poland, trust me.

Your sex life is of no interest to me. And you haven't actually 'met' me have you?

The topic is turning personal. Please try to keep on track. Thank you.

i am not the one who thinks 'muslim' and 'hindu' are nationalities

And neither am I. I never said that they were. Are you silly?

i simply have a caps key that doesn't work

I never use the caps lock. I always use the 'shift key'. It's the button just below the caps lock...

and being so rude and racist to kaz when she said she was proud to be british was not called for.

Obviously you didn't read her unprovoked personal attack on me. Both you and her attacked me first and now you cry when I defend myself. Typical...

I'm quite capable of owning a couple of pathetic little trolls.

Well Mr 'not a teacher' your posts just how what an ignorant loser you are!

lol:) That doesn't even make sense. Are you sure that English is your first language and that your're:

a real teacher

I have my doubts. I think that you need some psychological help and some counselling. You seem to have many issues...

me and my chav Indian and English mates can't get out tonight our kids need looking after but we've had a hell of a laugh at you.

That one sentence alone tells me everything that I need to know about you.

Kaz I'd like to say a few things about you, using your own words:)

Thank you, come again:P

you are an uneducated fool and an embarrassment to British people like me

you sound like the product of several generations of white trash

You seem also to be describing yourself.

My criticism towards the OP were on account of his negative attitude. I think Ironside said it best:

Happy New Year! :D :D :D

Love / Polish woman and black/mixed-race guy...... [49]

Just read your own posts, full of stupid racist comments about Asians and Blacks

Ooh, guess I just hit a nerve:) Or, maybe it's that time of the month...?

I'm not not Anglo Saxon by blood

No sh1t! But, if you're not not... does that mean you are? You're obviously confused but I can forgive this as English is not your first language...

I am very proud of being British

No you're not. You're about as English as a half-Indian, half-Greek immigrant is English.

the OP wants to learn Polish not English!

Really? That's not what he said:

I'm trying to improve my conversational English skills with woman.

He probably means women, but he is foreign.... just like you...

I feel ashamed to be classed as the same nationality as you!

But you're not! I'm white and English. Both my parents were English, neither of yours were! I have no hindu or muslim blood in me:P

but it's okay for the big Mr G to talk about how he'd 'give it good and hard' to some Polish policewoman in another post earlier today!

Of course. Did you read the thread title? That's the response that Pawian was looking for... happy to oblige:)

Love / Polish woman and black/mixed-race guy...... [49]

Very true. There's that and the fact that despite living in a city of 8million+ people, he couldn't get a shag. And so he's now targeting Polish women.

He obviously has no personal qualities and only has the fact that he's half-cast to offer. That's pretty pathetic. It's not surprising that he got shot down. Here and in RL.

Love / Polish woman and black/mixed-race guy...... [49]

indeed, seems like she's playing racial card for them lol

+1
If the guy came to Poland as was victimised for being black I'm positive he would have had a lot of support from the PF members.

However, he's young and naive and his only concern was talking to very young Polish women. That's very shallow. His motives were very clear.

What's wrong with black or Asian girls? There's millions of them in London. Sure, they're not as attractive, but probably easier... He'd only need to learn English to speak to them too...

He'd probably find plenty of them in the:

few strip clubs on bachelor weekends and festivals.

that his mate frequents...
He can even buy an Indian wife if he pays her dad a dowry, even in the UK... :D Not that he'd want one:P

Love / Polish woman and black/mixed-race guy...... [49]

I'm British; famed for booze and debauchery abroad.

Lol. Speak for yourself:)

The OP, originally came to the forum a year ago saying he was still a minor and when he turns 18 he'd like to come here to meet Polish girls aged 17-23. He made a big issue about being Lewis Hamilton skin-toned and talking about racism... He even was silly enough to ask if Polish girls speak English and if they teach English in schools. The only person making a big issue about race is the OP. If he never mentioned that fact it would never have been raised. Most people couldn't care less what colour you are. There are other black and Asian foreigners here, especially in the bigger cities. The OP's mistake was trying to use his ethnicity to draw attention to himself.

I'm trying to improve my conversational English skills with woman.

So, why come to Poland? Why not try talking to some English people?

And please do not think I am special because I'm black, I was in katowice on my first day and I saw 6 black people

Don't worry we won't:P And as you say, you're ten a penny here these days;)

Where can I meet Polish woman aged 18-23 in Krakow/Katowice?

I'm staying with a Polish girl who lives in Katowice.

Why don't you ask your 'friend' where you can pick up other women in her city?
Or, alternatively just go to any bar and buy a pint.
You can just sit there and look all black/mixed-racial and exotic. I'm sure all the girls will flock to you like flies to sh1t...

From my Polish friends i know that the increasing number of exotic sex tourists is annoying them more and more.
You have been warned.

UK, Ireland / Finding a polish language course in Northampton? [9]

lol! teach them English :D

Exactly:) Most 'native-speakers' don't realise just how bad their own English is:)

there English isn't great

'there' English or 'their' English isn't great?

I woul just live to talk polish ..

omg... Would you just 'love to speak Polish' by any chance?

AndI think Polish people are so much friendlier lol

Good to know. Just make sure you don't offend them by suggesting that their spoken English is that bad that you have had to take a Polish language course in order to communicate with them.

Seriously, if you're a genuine poster, you don't need to take a course. Just buy the 'Polish in 4 weeks' book and CD, and an English-Polish dictionary like everybody else:)

You'll learn quicker just by talking to them...

True Germany's national debt is about 10 times higher than Poland's (per capita!). But many countries are in a lot of debt...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_external_debt

1) United States 16,053,420,600,000
2) United Kingdom 9,836,000,000,000
3) France 5,633,000,000,000
4) Germany 5,624,000,000,000
20) Greece 583,300,000,000
28) Poland 252,900,000,000 (figures listed in US dollars)


The wealthier the country = the greater the debt?

Life / Why do people think that Poles are culturally isolated? [126]

I would hazard a guess that the majority of Poles that post here are in the haves bracket and know nothing of the have nots experience of life in Poland.

Yawn...

My geography is fine. I spent 7 months in Romania

What do you want? A medal?

but how many people would be remotely interested in going to Poland having the limited knowledge they have?

A lot of people, including yourself. Don't presume that everyone is as ignorant as you are about this country.
Some of us came to Poland with an open mind and actually prefer life here and don't feel the need to b*tch about everything...

I was also struck by the amount of homeless on the street in Poznan including one black guy in that incredible cold. I expected more from Poland.

Homeless people are everywhere. Have you never been to London, Birmingham or New York? I would have expected a more intelligent comment from you...

There isn't anything wrong with Polish culture. Unfortunately, a tourist such as yourself wouldn't see that in the 5 minutes that you spent here...

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

I recommend you to watch the whole film.

I've been recommended to watch this film by quite a few people actually.
I'll watch it over Christmas sometime, when I have more time.
I like Polish films such as Chłopaki nie Płaczą, Kiler (I & II), Poranek Kojote, Job& Dzień Świra...
If it's anything like those films I'm sure I'll enjoy it very much :D
Thanks for the link and the recommendation :D

Give me a few weeks and I'll start addressing the low birth-rate problem. Maybe a few inspirational speeches by myself could make all the difference...?

Małopolskie will never be the same again :P
