I would imagine you would need to be working to gain that kind of status and to work you would need a visa since you are from outside of the EU, simply studying in a country doesnt entitle you to live there forever..

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]
Its in the deep fryer for a matter of minutes - if drained well there's no grease on it, just nice crisp batter and tender flakey white cod inside...tripple cooked chips are devine - crispy and a real treat.
I actually quite like baked skins and grilled / steamed fish..but, we're talking about a once in a blue moon treat for fish and chips...so its not too bad..
But it's all fried :(((((

Me too - (i still dont get the pickled egg thing though..yuk!) not that Id want one with my fish and chips.
We call it batter - same as you use the word pierogi which I would call ravioli or similar
As for the cooking method, deep frying at hot temperatures can work out healthier than shallowing frying where all the oil is just soaked up.. I had a friend make me kotlets a while ago I couldnt eat them when I noticed the amount of oil they had soaked up :(
How odd...
i always thought they were called Gerkins ;)

Travel / WHAT TO WEAR END OF JUNE FIRST WEEKS OF JULY IN WARSAW [25]
My advice is to take some nice light weight summer dresses - a couple of maxi dresses for the evening or even the day..capri pants are a good standard, couple them with a nice fitted top..3/4 jeans look good with a nice top and a pair of gladiator sandles...
As for the taxi thing, why not ask the hotel if they can arrange a transfer - thats what I always do when I go away - lowers the chance of being ripped off :D
You have New York fashion week and the likes of Top Shop and Zara attend, so we're actually bang up to date with whats going on - high fashion and trends change like the weather here :D
I will take jeans, shirts and pants 3/4 length. Casual.

UK, Ireland / The number of Anti-English Poles... [228]
You missed my point:
My point was that we have less council housing stock (longer lists as you will be aware if you have worked for a social housing department), we dont build council houses any longer all we do is transfer stock or sell it off to council tenants or private investors for re-development - it wasnt really a comparison/competition of what we have here in the UK and what you have in Poland, that's not really my concern and nor will it ever been since I have no intention of moving to Poland to live in a council house and cry about not getting benefits ;0)
What the fook is one of those?
Still the proportion of HAs to council housing is bigger in Poland than in the UK. I dare to say that as I've worked on various housing stock transfer, including PFIs and ALMOs, and I've worked for HAs, ALMOs and various housing departments.

Maybe you should have put as much effort in to finding a job, you sound like the kind of Poles we really dont want here..
Where there's blame there's a claim...
Please go back to Poland..This arogant English person would rather not have some gobshite like you living on her Island.
What are you talking about you halfwit!
You sound like some 3rd world immigrant..Are you sure you're Polish?
To be honest, England doesnt have a great deal of "council" housing stock, a large proportion has been sold off to housing associations, to private buyers (right to buy) and to private developers so the proportion of council housing stock is relavitely low in comparison to what it was 10 years ago. There are areas in London where the waiting list is 20 years!
So if this turd from Poland reckons he has some right because he happens to want to milk the cash cow then he is sadly mistaken...

Yes, if you dont trust a man to have female friends then there is a problem, regardless of nationality.
As for the whole "I love you" he's talking boll*x and using his nationality to cover up lies..Its not normal to say to an ex "I love you" "do you love me"
Either sit him down and call him out on this (but dont demand anything) or finish it..What you do depends on how much you love him and how insecure you are.
where their fiance or wife can request their man to stop friendship with some female friend, would I sound 'demanding'

Why not just use whole milk (full fat), just as good if not better, I’m sure the baby is on solids now so formula isn’t essential as he/she is getting nutrients from that.
