Law / Business Etiquette (Polish companies' dealings with clients in other counties) [14]


1) I'd say it depends on who the client is and what the meeting is about, my guys go to meetings in person in general, last week my boss went to Barcelona and the week before he went to Stockholm - but they need to go to visit sites they're working on and to discuss in detail, designs etc with clients, something you cant do over a VC or tele con.


2) Generally, covering your ass and getting everything down in detail is good business practice if done over email - put your points in a document and attach it to the email, use the email as a "covering letter" so to speak - this makes it more formal.


Not really, for us as a company, its just a "Green" way of dealing with clients, not because of mulitple involvement....VCs (video conferences) are generally for internal meetings the preference is always face to face meetings with externals.

We also have "See & Share" which means you can give access to presentations to an external - again these are generally used for internal meetings, but would be a good tool for a small company to give a presentation to a client.

Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]


Evidently you've never used a Rabbit PMSL!


Have you been to the Zimmy school of charm?


So you see, the "weaker" sex does exist, it just means physical, not mental, therein lies the difference - of course we have ladies who like to act and look like men but I do like to think they're in a minority, even in England.

Law / Marketing graduate from Pakistan - any way to study and live in Poland? [11]

In all honesty, it had been on a list of places to go along with Russia and Ukraine, but it was cheaper to visit and Im glad I did, in fact I went 3 times..so it must have been a good first impression..

Law / Marketing graduate from Pakistan - any way to study and live in Poland? [11]

My interest came when cheap flights became available and I found out it was only 70p for a pint ;0)

Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]

Doesnt mean I like doing them though does it ;0) Plus men are SOOOOOOOOO much better at those kind of things :D

Law / Marketing graduate from Pakistan - any way to study and live in Poland? [11]


No chance whatsoever.

a) You dont speak Polish.
b) You cant get a visa to study unless you can prove you can support yourself and pay for your studies.
c) You wont find a company in Poland to take you on.
d) Do you think Polish people would be leaving in such numbers if opportunities were to be had?

Just out of curiousity, why Poland and not England, I thought England was the destination that most Pakistains wanted to travel to?

Dont mind being seen as the weaker sex if it means I dont have to carry the shopping or do all the crappy manual jobs :D

Congrats...But please dont tell me you've purchased a people carrier too, I like to think that there's still a rebel in there somewhere ;0)


I didnt notice, where they did they do that?

News / Nigel Kennedy on Poland (Positive and Negative Thoughts) [25]


Because he loved Poland as it was and not what its turning into, maybe he thought he'd found a little bit of paradise..


Most Brits are part Irish. His mother is English.


Then you didnt see the documentary.

UK, Ireland / Poles living in the UK returning home or not? [63]


WTF do you know about Britain? Whats meaningful about earning money that affords you to live on the bread-line with a load of other people living on the bread-line! Maybe these "ethnic" groups dont mind sharing a room with 5 other people..Most Brits want a better standard of life!


Quite simply a lying cnut..entire towns my ar$e?


£55 per week to live off? to pay bills to buy food to pay for transport to go to interviews?


Prove to me that a single person living on their own can make more money than someone on low teir employment? Or is that person working about 10 hours a week? Which is not really working now is it?


Do you know what Aspergers is and what does his class have to do with it? First you have issues with the "working" class now its the middle class!


I had no idea cleaning public toilets paid so much.

News / Nigel Kennedy on Poland (Positive and Negative Thoughts) [25]


Very much so, it was interesting to see how much Kennedy enjoyed Polish folk music and how entrenched in the classical and jazz scene he is over there - he's very well respected too.


Isnt that a bit of an exaggeration?

Can the title be changed back, it sounds rather negative and he had more positives in the documentary!

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people moving back home from the UK? [68]


Where? And dont blame the Poles, it was Blaire that opened the doors and recruitment agencies that went looking for cheap labour in Poland, we had as much right to impose sactions as the other countries but as usual "they got it wrong"

Whilst Im not a fan of mass immigration, at least Poles are paying tax and NI which is more than can be said for all the illegal immigrants who breed like rats and give nothing back..

Tell you what fused, given the choice who do you want here?

A) Extremists who call our soldiers murderers (these people have British passports and were born here) who will never integrate?

Or

B) Europeans who have the right to work here legally and in general integrate?

Hardly darling..But if people cant hack a bit of flack they should flock off back to their utopia :D

Life / A Girl Told Me You Have to Be Goodlooking to "sustain" in Poland. [30]


Depends if you are subjected to "exotic" all the time, its not so "exotic" then..


I think some like drawing attention to themselves, I did warn him to take his photo down.

You separated them, personally I prefer to be called English, not British and Im sure you prefer to be called Scottish.



Trev..not sure about that one though :D

Why not go the whole hog and pat her on the head you patronising fool!


We could send that scouser round and he could have a slow death by bleeding to death with one knacker!


His victims are ficticious - he's actually scared of women ;0)

Back on topic how to turn a Polish guy off, well I think pgtx covered them quite well..But she forgot to add, dont start humming the wedding march on your first date, this is a dead give-away there is a distinct possibility that you're a stalker.


Liar, you better hope Mrs Sokrates (to be) isnt reading this thread ;0)

Life / A Girl Told Me You Have to Be Goodlooking to "sustain" in Poland. [30]


No, its not true.


No they are not, trust me we have our fair share that were hit with the ugly stick too many times.

My advice would be, learn some Polish, save enough money to cover your studies and living costs and work hard, that's what you need to be able to survive in Poland.

Good luck.

p.s. take the photo off, you have nothing to prove to a bunch of strangers on a forum.

News / UK might have anti-Polish socialist Prime Minister [29]

The Prime Minster is required to follow the Church of England in order to become Prime Minster.

The Act of Settlement 1701, which remains in operation today, excludes any Catholic or anyone who marries a Catholic from the throne.

Under the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829, sect. 17, and the Jews' Relief Act of 1858, sec 4, no Roman Catholic or Jew may advise the sovereign on ecclesiastical matters. Were the prime minister to be a Roman Catholic or a Jew and alternate system of ecclesiastical appointment would have to be devised.

To date, all British Prime Ministers to date, at least while in office, have professed Anglican faith. Disraeli, while born into a jewish family, was babtised into the church of England at age 12 and Tony Blair waited till after he stood down from the post of prime minister to officially convert to catholicism.

So there you have it.

Law / Can I come to Poland with my girlfriend on the student visa as a dependent? [40]


He hasnt, he wants to bring his girlfriend from Sri Lanaka.


Unless they marry a Pole and then they are "free as a bird" and usually enquiring about family EEA permits to the UK! :(

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


You're not making sense Sheep, The Welsh are Brits same the Scots same as the English, whether we like it or not..we are all lumped under that one nasty name along with the rest of them that get their passports..


You're on fire today..keepem coming :D

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]


Look at the mortality rates in their country, 16% of women die in child birth along with the child and a further 15% of childen die before they reach the age of 5 - I think the "average" Afghani lives to the ripe old age of circa. 50. The only reason that certain minorities are thriving in the West is because they have access to health care and wealfare they wouldnt have in their own countries..


BB could never be likened to him..thats just unfair to say :p


What a crock of shyte "Germanics are colder" tsk! Children / adults stay at home longer because of social and economic reasons...not because they are actually wanted there!

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


Could say the Welsh are the same then...

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]


PMSL.
(that was actually really really funny!)


In what way? You could say Poles and Pakis are cut from the same cloth, both cant wait to get out of their respective countries and both a penchant for opening corner shops..

How cruel - wont it be a bit cold in the hold for her? ;0)

I was going to comment on this thread, but after I told him that his chances of Polish citizenship are zero without a job, he got a bit shirty and told me "Im going in the wrong direction"

News / UK might have anti-Polish socialist Prime Minister [29]


Are they? Since no one has been elected to respresent the Party, you should think before you write.


Cry me a river!!


Was he the only Pole that did that? You missed out the fact they are Jews as well..my my...that was a miss opportunity!


The upper classes didnt need infiltrating you fool...They were quite happy to cavort with the likes of Hitler in the 1940s, his policies were quite welcomed by them, which means I doubt that a marxist Jew would have been mixing with these kind of people..God you are stupid!

You've already posted about the Millibands before..give it up!

UK, Ireland / Brit Polonia fighting anti-Polish stereotypes [46]


I know they do but Im sure they dont publish articles on it ;0)


Im not discrinating, they can all fook off back to where they came from if they dont like it..


The one above.. :D

UK, Ireland / Brit Polonia fighting anti-Polish stereotypes [46]

The majority of the gay bashers on here are Polish who think that gay people are evil and could be cured with therapy!

Read the recent Jewish thread and see the anti-semetic behaviour.

In the UK we're pretty open minded about gay men and women and have thriving Jewish communities, if people who come to this country dont respect this and act in a backwards manner than, quite frankly, they're not welcome.

UK, Ireland / Brit Polonia fighting anti-Polish stereotypes [46]

Oh dear, yet more whining..

But lets be truthful here - having spent a considerable amount of my time on this forum and known a few Poles in my time, I would say its pretty much true that a vast majority are homophobic and anti-semetic. As for stealing jobs..undercutting would be more apt. But as we all know, if you feel the grass is greener on the other side and dont like what the Brits say, you can always go home or stop complaining ;0)
