confused82

too much head in the clouds and dreams of the future with someone u hardly know.

next time keep sober and don't make an ass of yourself.

i'll bet that as u got more angy u went for another pint and just made things worse.

two different breeds. the train folk have always been polite (apart from the one i nearly gave a good hiding) tram controllers are as stated above.

i don't know how many black africans in Poland have AIDS, but i do know that 15,000 Poles are known to have it.

if i were young and single i'd be more worried about playing the field with locals.

things changed in wroclaw and now the 'controllers' are quite professional and polite.

most people, when they are caught man up and simlpy hand over their id, with no fuss.

not quite. where i come from there are a lot of viking, anglo saxon words. isthatu2 might say the same for his part of england.

i can't wait for Poles to start using words like netty and divvent. lots of vocabulary with double letters.

please cut out the little digs at each other. thank you.

anything that comes from biedronka, which is across the street.

in this house we have a sort of mixed european style, and it was like that before i arrived here.

Polish food is simple and bland. pierogi are an emergency/convenience meal, carp is for christmas and bigos is for any and all festive occassions. soup for me is a starter, not a main meal, so i hardly ever bother with it.

so long as Poles keep going on about pierogi then any restaurant is doomed to failure.

i don't know if this is true. but the chefs on tv don't cook Polish food very often. only at the festive times of year.

english words, but not always the same meaning in Polish.

if brits can't decide when they are eating dinner, how can anyone else hope to get it right.

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]


dinner = main meal of the day.

so it now depends on ones work pattern and availability of time.

school lunches are just that for some. for others it's dinner.

all confusing these days.

do you have tea ? a sort of afternoon/evening lunch.

tea: most Poles think it's a drink when in fact it can be a meal.

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]


all wrong.

lunch/dinner in the uk is more to do with work and the type of work between north and south.

bankers in the south had lunch while shiftworkers in the north had dinner.

and in the uk they still have supper.

the modern mix of people has now confused everything.

Love / Affairs don't pay - Poles say [11]


time consuming hobbies or those that keep one out of the house are a dangerous thing in a relationship. unless they are shared hobbies.

on the other hand. spending too much time with your partner can also lead to problems.

it's a difficult balance to master.

Genealogy / Getting records from Poland (are records of Poles moved from churches to the archives)? [21]


LDS and the link patrycja19 provided are the same thing.

it is always difficult to get copies of records in Poland. one needs precise information and in some cases a professional genealogist to do the work for you.

make use of ancestry.com and similar sites. someone might have already done the work for you.

note to all: no-one seems to mention it, but buying a decent book on genealogy/family history is a must.

then u can keep up to date and fill in gaps of knowledge by using the internet.

not in my case.

if u want to get on here don't spend longer than your first weekend trying to get to know the place. get out and meet people, look for work and when you've found it u can relax. think about other work options too.

u will run into problems and often the only way out is to grow some.
