Life / Bugs in Polish houses and apartments [78]

Fleas are a pain in the you-know-where. What you should do is vacuum and put some bug spray on the floors.

No, what you do is land-mine the place. Trust me, after that there will be no more fleas.

UK, Ireland / Avalon method course vs Conversation with a native speaker to learn English? [37]

Isn't it what the girl with this s**t on her lips speak?.Weird but understandable.Only takes a little while to get used to it.

Nope, she speaks more with a Dundee accent, though I only listened to it for a couple of sentences. The sheep will know that area better than me.

the best films to watch and listen to are older black & white. movies made in the 40's 50's and 60's relied on standard or bbc english and not the variety of accents used these days.

Good point, but maybe zeti is looking to improve her understanding of modern accents and dialogue.

Zeti, the simple thing would be to find a native speaker who knows how to conduct conversation lessons with the proper material. If you are going to take up lessons, start thinking about your FCE. You may not think your are at that level yet, but you should be at least starting to study towards it.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

120 Mbps???

Yeah, the rest of the world get the high net speeds, while the UK and American wait a few years so they can over charge use for complete crap. I have 20mb unlimited broadband...must state that in the contract it says upto 20mb...i rarely get past 4mb arseholes!

Good cuts of beef are a bit more expensive, but if you like pork, Poland is the place to be.

How much is it for a lamb chop? Expensive if i remember rightly from Poland.
Though I did find a butcher in Krakow who sold a half lamb for 25pln :)
