I notice that the two in my province say they can't offer invoices. Makes you wonder whether they're keeping straight with the tax office.

Teaching in-company is not the most reliable way of making a living. Businesses often cancel lessons at short notice due to meetings, etc. You should try to negotiate a deal whereby you get paid if the compnay cancels a class with, say, less than twenty-four hours' notice. 80 Zł is at the low end of the spectrum. I charge considerably more and have the aforementioned arrangement.

I'd like to think so.

In my experience this is absolutely not the case. Do you have any polling stats on that claim?

"Kędryna referred POLITICO to a Polish Press Agency article, which suggests Tusk was invited, but by the Chancellery of Polish Parliament - the Sejm - rather than Duda. It is claimed that the invitation was issued to Tusk as the former prime minister of Poland rather than president of the European Council."

"Referred to", "suggests", "Claimed".
Your source is a bit vague.


I guess I'm out of the loop, then.
I'm not saying it isn't true. It's just that I require more concrete evidence. I've heard so much bs from politicians of all stripes in my life that I don't believe things just because someone tells me it's true (and I'm not a PO or Tusk fan).

I have no idea what that means.
If you mean Polish stuff, i.e. news stories, I'm sure you can post a link.

UK, Ireland / Polish striking due to anti-Polish UK feeling [58]

Oxon: 26 May 2014:

"It has been proved beyond all shadow of a doubt 'Goofy the dog' that immigrants take more out of the infrastructure, public services, health care, education than what they actually contribute."

"Far from being a drain on the nation, migrants actually make Britain a more prosperous place, according to a major report by researchers at University College London last year. It found that immigrants from the European Union who came to Britain between 2000 and 2011 paid out £20 billion more in taxes than they received in benefits."

That's from the newspaper story you yourself quote today, Oxon, or should I say Alison?

If you are genuine, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. If they ask her shoe size, they won't reject you because you don't know it (how many guys do?), but they might ask whether she takes sugar in her coffee, or what side of the bed you take. Just tell the truth and don't worry.

Because they don't know the rules. I don't know the rules of American football, but I can believe it is very exciting for those that do. Likewise rounders, the little girls' game, known as baseball in the USA. Granted, a long Test match is not for everyone, but one day, limited overs cricket can be thrilling. Poland has rugby clubs; why not cricket?

I remember a time about five years ago when we were ready to put roofing material on our house. It rained non-stop for two weeks. That was unusual, but it can rain for ages in summer. Wish it would now. Our pumpkins will be wrecked.

There are several errors in the op's post, but it shows what she can offer. And she's cheap.

My wife loves these guys. She engages them in conversation and completely ties them up in theological knots. Come to think of it, they haven't been around for ages.


Yes, we had flooding in our village a couple of years ago in, I think, June or July.

That's true. The tax office phoned us twice last month about discrepancies in our accounts. Both times the mistake was on their side, but it shows they are sharpening up. However, I still think they could find an awful lot among car mechanics, builders, etc.

Dry as Ghandi's flip flops here in the north-east. +32, with +36 forecast this weekend.
I think younger Poles socialize much more than their elders. As for village life, it's much the same everywhere. Old people gossip because they have nothing else to do. We are friendly with several of our neighbours, and exchange produce with them, e.g herbs, potatoes, eggs, strawberries and marrows. A while ago I gave a neighbour's son some prep lessons for his Matura, and the lad's father ploughed our field. And another neighbour took away a few bits of old furniture and a broken washing machine and gave us wine and beer in exchange.

Poland would be considerably wealthier if it collected its tax.


I get lost when people start talking about abstruse economic theories, but why do you think the government might be turning a blind eye to tax evasion? Is it about liquidity?

We had some people over for lunch on Tuesday, one of whom is a farmer. She said she and her husband had just made the decision to give up growing blackberries because they spent a fortune on irrigation and got 13 groszy/kg from the big buyers. I'm suprised Polish farmers can afford to pay anyone at all to pick their crop.

I'm willing to give him a chance, and respect once he's earned it. I'm definitely willing to showrespect to the Head of State as such. I had hoped that he might behave in an appropriately statesmanlike manner, but unfortunately, he hasn't made a good start. As for the majority of Poles voting for him, it's a bit greyer than that.

Don't worry about the cold. Flats are warm, and if you are cold, put on more layers. What can you do when it's too hot?

As you know, many PiS supporters, mad as it is, consider Tusk to be implicated in the 'murder' of their President. They have not moved on enough yet. Let's hope that the new guy will learn diplomacy as he grows into the job.
