Work / Living in Lublin (as a teacher)!? [36]

That isn't a lot of money to live on. you may be able to pick up some privates though however Lublin is not a rich city. Chelm is even poorer and smaller. Is it a private language school that you're going to work in, and if so, does the owner's surname begin with T? Surely he'd help you find cheap accommodation.

Spot on - that's what her Polish PR did it for in the first place. Doesn't harm seaside resorts when the crowds think one of their idols might be on the beach too. We can expect Edyta Górniak, Doda, Mandarynka, the large breasted one from M jak Miłość, him that used to be in Ranczo, Norbert Afera and whoever else follows suit to show up at a beach any day now, entourage and all.


Have you tried that new Arab place on Jana Pawła - at the end of the more northerly of those 2 pavillions on the West side just above Solidarności? Only a tiny place and not posh, but the real deal. Quite a few Turkish businesses there too, including a grocery - things are looking up.

I know it well and it's certainly classier than most, not that that's saying much. Doesn't say much at all for the others. The in-crowd tend to sit outside cafes mid way up the main drag. For a nice beach, I tend to walk south a little from the pier, in the direction of Jelitkowo where there are some excellent cafes. The beach at Gdynia is also surprisingly nice and a few very good bars and restaurants.


Nobody really notices, do they?

It was dealt with within the last decade (and Poland certainly existed before 1989 if that's what you're weakly trying to impute).

You may remember the very recent autopsy.


Not unusual.

Part of earning all those millions is fame and celebrity among the masses.Another part is spending it on privacy which doesn't quite match her pitching up with her entourage on a downmarket public beach right among those very masses.


Very much so - such people thrive on any chance to get their photo published or to draw an adoring crowd. She'll be glad of it in 20 years time when she's doing a summer season at Butlin's Skegness.

Almost certainly they wouldn't. There isn't the same sort of tradition of 'working for free' that you get in English-speaking countries and remember - if they actually agreed, you may well be taking work from someone in a country with high unemployment and not much welfare. Community spirited?

I do indeed. My opinion is that an embryo is a group of cells, not a person. It has no personality, memory or consciousness - therefore I am not opposed to abortion.

Oh dear - it seems you have a bad case of lastworditis. The fact is - and it is a fact - that a 'belief' is only that unless supported by proof. Some people believe in Santa Claus. That doesn't mean he actually climbs down the chimney. Mr Bashobora can do his stuff. If people feel better, that's great for them. Just as long as they don't expect people who don't pretend there are gods to live by their rules.
