Love / Is it possible for Filipino gay like me to have a Polish lover? [13]

Can i possibly look a polish guy again?

Maybe or maybe not.

where to find the best Polish chat for same sex?

where did you find your previous one?

Are you sure that you're not only interested in getting a visa / work-permit?

Language / The Plural of Zloty? [46]

Cheers guys - normally, when I am writing factual stuff, I include PLN (but does one write PLN 200 or 200PLN... nooooo, that's another question for another day).

This is a kind of "and finally" type piece in a wider feature about Poland... written fairly coloquially, if you see what I mean.

Thanks everyone :)

Sorry, guys... didn't mean to confuse you.

I am writing a feature in English, and need to mention <insert name of the Polish currency>

Does that make sense?

Hmm... ok, what about if I were writing in English "I need to exchange a bunch of zlotys"?

Language / The Plural of Zloty? [46]

What is the plural of Zloty?

Zloty, Zloties, Zlotys.... or something completely different.

I'm writing an article in English, but want to get it right.

Give me Polish bread any day.

Life / Mothers day in Poland [19]

It was celebrated in the UK a couple of weeks ago though.

UK, Ireland / Polish Festivals/Exhibitions/Events in UK [91]

Cheap phonecalls seemed to dominate the show.

There were a couple of other stands such as the chamber of commerce, various magazines and newspapers like Polish Express etc. There was also a sausage stall and a stall doing chimney cakes. That was pretty much it - it was in one of the smaller halls at Olympia, and really not worth £10.

Think I'll pop along later today... I'll report back....

Right, I'm back (didn't make it yesterday, so went along today). My verdict? £10 to pick up some flyers about making cheap calls to Poland (none of which are cheaper than the 0844 number that I use to make landline calls for £0.05 a minute)... somebody's having a laugh!! Really, if you were thinking about going, I'd suggest that you don't waste your time.

News / Illegal drugs in the EU - Polish gangs are top sellers [56]

There were rumours in the '90s about heavy use of amphetamines among eastern european youth but now I do not see such articles anymore.

That would have been the whole "sorted for e and speed" / post rave scene back then. I guess coke would be the poison of choice these days?

News / Illegal drugs in the EU - Polish gangs are top sellers [56]

Polish gangs are the top sellers of methamphetamine (crystel meth) in Europe, especially in England.

Source? Maybe its true, but I can think of other ethnic groups that would make the top five in this particular hit parade in the UK.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

check out this guy Arkadius - he is a Polish designer who made it in Britain. He is really interesting.

Not come across him before, but he's got some really cool designs.

Fair point, although one would have to be particularly skilled to make the outfit in the top pic not look cheap :D

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

Cool doesnt have to mean expensive.

Totally agree - in fact I believe that there is something distinctly uncool about a totally polished look that is head to toe in lables.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

You are being generous

Yeah - you're right. I guess I liked the photography more than the clothes. There was a certain "don't mess with me" attitude coming across in some of them (and a spot of nerdy exchange student in the other LOL!).
