Work / My friend is looking for a job in Poland with a physics degree [32]


Quite a lot of people who work in high level banking have physics degrees or at least they do in the UK, could be different in Poland, then there is also engineering...so fs, there are lots of jobs open to those with physics degrees / masters and PHDs

History / A little reminder for those Brits that ***** about Poles [143]


It was a "world" war, there were plenty from the commonwealth that died.

Love / Polish girls want to be dominated. Fact? [63]


Send her a photo of your nob and ask if she'd prefer that instead? :D

Study / Shocking! Test standards in Polish schools. [165]

Actually French is only compulsory from 11 to 14 (years 7 to 9) after that most drop languages as they are not deemed useful.

As for the paragraphs the OP posted, they were not grammatically correct, but understandable at the same time, seems like grammar isnt top of the list for teachers in Polish schools.

Life / Does Polish society accept new people especially those not from Poland [41]

[quote=tomjustyna] I have found those from the bigger cities are less welcoming seems very slow to accept.[/quote

Different person different view....

Where exactly are you from where they accept foreigners with open arms....

In villages in the UK they wouldnt accept someone who didnt even have a local accent.

In towns in the UK someone can get the living daylights beat out of them because they dont have a local accent...

No where is perfect...Most on here say that big cities are better for foreigners and now you think because you happen to visit your wifes village all villagers are lovely....

Why do people ask such narrow minded stupid questions!

UK, Ireland / Polish is an official language in the UK? [68]


I can tell you now, all the signs in Howarth are in English :) Was there the other week.

The official language in the Britain is English, unless you are in North Wales....


They dont need to seek asylum, they all have French passports! Have you seen the suburbs of Paris these days???

News / Poland please don't give up your hard won democracy to the EU. Or give up the zloty! [24]


You better start thinking of ways to pay the EU back then!


? You mean companies relocating and creating jobs?

Love / Falling for a Polish guy and confused.. [23]


We're no different in Europe than what you are in America..Relatonships and people work exactly the same.

LDR's can work, but more often than not they don't, especially if you haven't had time to establish some kind of bond in the first instance.

UK, Ireland / Tale of a Polish Family on Isle of Man [43]


And paid the debt back, Britian has never had a free ride (excluding what they pillaged from ex colonies of course).


What you mean is he's been going for cheap labour for the last 20 years, probably paying cash in hand and under the going rate.


Another jibe at the English...Oh dear!


Totally agree.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]


I meant out the ones shown on here...personally I think the cutest and best looking are mixed south east asian, my friend is Chinese from Hong Kong originally and his wife is English, their kids are out of this world..Met quite a few mixed Chinese / English when I used to go clubbing in Liverpool too..Its nothing new here and not looked upon as something different.

UK, Ireland / Slough & Elsewhere UK [23]


Well said, I wanted to make a point, without bigging up Brits and putting down Poles...neither one is better than the other...My uncle worked in the middle east for years as an engineer so I know what its like for family to travel for work to make a better life for the family (and he paid his mortage off a lot sooner than my parents did!)..

Comments are from the last vid.

The English are a lazy race? What all of us? even those that have built companies who are employing Polish people?are..This cee u next tuesday came here illegal! Comments like that make me laugh and he was not representative of Polish people who are integrated, total ignorance.

Regarding Romananians:

Lazy and a bad attitude, not much more to add to that.

Im just finishing a project and have been working on a site (yes a building site) for the past 4 months and whilst Ive worked there Ive heard the Poles who are on site speak perfect English and the ones Ive spoken to have been here for around 7 to 10 years, they're not scratching round for work (all well skilled), neither do they consider the British inferior, they work with them and respect them, they have lunch with them and they're not insular, i.e. not just mixing with Poles at break time...

Posting YouTube videos really doesnt help...it just gives a one sided view rather that what is happening in the world itself.

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]

That doesnt matter, if he is exercising his treaty rights as a student and he is a Norwegian citizen, then he has every right to bring her to Poland on an EEA family permit, it actually easier for him to bring his wife to Poland that it would be for a Polish citizen to bring a spouse from an non EU country...

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]


English / Dutch parents born in Zim or some other former Brit colony...

I think the half Indian Polish mix is the most beautiful

Food / Best slimming products in Poland? [27]


It could also be called a tart actually...(no offence to our resident Mr Szarlotka ;0) )

easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/polishdesserts/r/szarlotka.htm

But it contains pastry...pies are made from pastry are they not? Therefore, as far as Im am concerend it's a pie..


I did...It was lovely, had it in the Jewish area in Krakow...it tasted home made..

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]


All you need is an EEA Family Permit and its free to apply for, you dont need a visa per se..You are exercising your treaty rights as a student.

Now wasnt that easy to answer?

Food / Best slimming products in Poland? [27]


Really? No pastry whatsoever? Hmmmmmmmmmm...I had apple pie in Poland...Szarlotka....yum yum yum...


Oh yes I am..Evidently, you are not ;0)


For fear of sounding rude, eat veg and meat, and normal portions and exercise..slimming products are only a quick fix...you'll put the weight on when you go back to old habits, its about life style changes and choices..only you can do it, not a drink in a can..

Walking and less pies!

Language / Naming / Nicknames for Aleksandra or Alexandra? [24]


If you get your name spelt wrong on a daily basis (I do) its frustrating....Alexandra is the Western spelling..so why not make the kids life easy and spell it that way if they are going to live in a none slavic country...As for how many ways:

My name is Shelley, here are a few that people have come up with over the years!

Shelley (perfect 10/10)
Shelly (annoying!)
Sheley (wtf)
Shelee (wtf?)
Sheila (yeah, I think some people are deaf!)
Chelley (this was the most recent)

Language / Naming / Nicknames for Aleksandra or Alexandra? [24]


Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you said "wait till he grows up" not where they grow up, apologies..But I think if she intends to live in Canada, she should go with the x ....

By the way Aleksandra or Alexandra would be female :D ...Either way a lovely name, my nephew is an Alexander, good strong male name! :)

Language / Naming / Nicknames for Aleksandra or Alexandra? [24]

Why wait till she grows up, it's not going to change anything, blimey, my name is an old English name yet people always spell it wrong!

I'd go with x spelling and save the poor child a life of frustration...take it from someone who knows :)

History / Why have Poles contributed so little to Academics? (Particularly Science) [180]


But it's always nice to prove people wrong, which he has been, several times - some poeple dont seem to think there is life outside of their own back yard and if they haven't heard much about a country then there cant be anything worth while about that country...Ignorance is bliss :)

Read post 192, Ive already stated this.

UK, Ireland / Poles in Ireland by Peadar de Burca. They "turned their backs on a country that gave them" [195]

But its always our fault! and no doubt Sheep would have come along and made up a good excuse, Ive been working with Scots for about 2 months and the lack of accountability is staggering...One even blamed the trashing of Manchester city centre on Manchester city council..it had nothing to do with drunken rangers fans!!!!!

They killed two, Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball.

RIP, gone but not forgotten...Tim Parry's father actually helped the peace process.


Because they're idiots...dont think for one moment that any sane Brit is proud of what the government of that time did.

I think the IRA could have gone about things in a different way - they should have been more strategic in their attacks, not one person was killed in Manchester and very few were hurt, but they devistated the city and caused millions of £'s worth of damage - this was a real win for them Id have said.


You cant even put the IRA in the same bracket as terrorists and they are somewhat justified in their attacks on the mainland, 100s of years of occupation and persecution by the English being 2 of them. Im not a sympathiser, but I understand their reasons, if someone invaded my country and did what the English did over there, I think I'd fight back.

Good days work in Warrington on a busy day just before mothers day when lots of kids would be out shopping for that something special.

How strange that black people and mixed raced people bang on about acceptance, yet they're happy to play the race card to their own advantage...

I'd love to know what the OP finds so wonderful about Poland..Why not Hungary or the Czech Republic or Slovakia or Russia..All so rich in history...with beautful cities...(well maybe not Slovakia!)
