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

as I mentioned, he does not bullsh*t people or at least has not done so far. I need to find out how close he was to the action as it were.

If the Romanian dudes were in his bar or a friend's bar. Which hairdresser it was, etc

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

Hi Teff

thanks for letting me know. The guy I was talking to was adamant that this happened
I will need to have words with him and get back to you

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

revoke, I would not be surprised if you believe that they knowingly wanted to have a Downs baby as they might qualify for an additional couple of quid in benefits.

you are that twisted

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

@ Revoke

get used to it because freeloaders are starting to see Ireland as the real soft touch in Europe for benefits

a friend lives in Donegal and a BMW pulls up at his pub and four Romanian guys come in and start playing pool
they had each been given 20 euros each to integrate with the locals

another story

a woman from Nigeria had her hair done and then told the hairdresser that the dole were going to pay for it
in order to enable her to integrate into the community. the hairdresser did not believe her so called
the dole office. they told her to send the bill to their office and order her a taxi

now I was not there so I do not know if this is true or not but the guy who told me is not a bullsh*tter

look at the dole 195 euro per week as opposed to 63 quid or something in the UK. also in the UK
you are expected pretend to look for work. but not in Ireland oh no

you want to blame that on the banks?

UK, Ireland / Eastern European girls forced against their will in Britain for prostitution? [67]

yeah good point

before Poles could work legally in Europe Polish workers were often systematically preyed upon by other Poles

it is the same with all Central European nationalities, often workers are preyed upon by their countrymen

Polish recruitment companies are notorious for ripping off Polish workers who take overseas work

no they will eat just about anything

Burger King pulled off the market strategically
they came back of course

McDonalds is so unbelievably successful that McDonalds are funding restaurants themselves instead of involving franchisees
any restaurants that are not making the grade are taken over by McD directly

I do not often agree with you but nevertheless I have to say, well said Sir

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]

if I had to make a judgement, I would say that Wedle has given the best advice here so far

all I have really done is to point out that I would not consider it prudent to follow the advice of Grubas
which I suppose is valuable information in its self

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]

oh I see, so you seem to believe that asking a non Polish speaking Norwegan person to just get hold of a copy of the Kodeks and then roll up in a Polish court (without the aid of legal representation) and sue someone is just a walk in the park

erm.... in what way was that helpful?

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]


well done Chubs

another round of hearty laughter from my side

as for you knowing more about Poland than I ever will, when were you going to demonstrate this knowledge?
because so far I have not been impressed

perhaps you might want advise the OP what to do next

OP: I would be more inclined to listen to Wedle

Real Estate / Apartment in Poland is not up to standard; right to terminate the rental agreement? [78]

yet more advice from someone who left Poland as a kid and does not have a damned clue about the realities of living here

great advice, get lawyered up and wait a year for the case to come up in court facing legal costs far in excess of the value of the deposit

this coming from a guy who did not believe that there were money changers in Poland in the mid 90s and that the dollar zloty exchange rate varied depending on where you were selling your greenbacks

I salute you Sir,you are a constant source of amusement

Travel / Where to go in winter: Krakow or Warsaw? [7]

Krakow

try Zakopane or Torun - they are worth a punt

Travel / What normally people do for New Year in Krakow? [10]

stand around in the market square and get hit in the face by fireworks thrown by drunken idiots

New Year celebrations in Polish cities should come with a mandatory set of safety goggles

History / Do polish people know that some of them fought a war against the United States? [60]


not without trying though
they left it quite late before they started to go down the colonisation route

you cannot compare modern day political correctness and niceness with colonial expansion of
over 200 years ago Sasha

when the Europeans were carving up the rest of the world, slavery was still very much in practice
and children of four years of age were working in factories

I believe we are starting to drift off topic a tad

History / Do polish people know that some of them fought a war against the United States? [60]


Yeah, but if the Brits had not seized huge areas of the world, then the French, Dutch, Spanish (somebody else would have)
the Germans were very busy colonising East Africa at the beginning of the last century

just imagine if Spain had colonised India? They would have tried to force the Indians to convert to Catholicism at gun point
like they did in South America

As a lot of Poles ended up in North America in the cities of the North, I would have thought that there would have been

more Poles fighting for the Union than for the South

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

I am not sure Seanus
every single time I have advertised a job in Poland, I have been bombarded by Pakistanis and Indians looking for work

I am sure that there are an awful lot of Pakistanis, Indians and Nigerians who see Poland as a bit of a soft touch in getting entry into the EU

Food / Best slimming products in Poland? [27]


Polish people do not eat pies

but of course you knew that because you are clever

Food / Best slimming products in Poland? [27]

I would say L-carnitine

why what have you got?

chrome is quite popular too but the health risks are being played down in Poland

define slimming product

OTC or RX?

News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

everyone is lying except her
she is on the same telepathic wavelength as the US embassy and it is all nonsense because she is special

like the reports on the radio zet websites about fighting on Nowy Swiat at the moment

It is all starting to kick off and it looking nasty


I hope you won't forget to thank the Polish tax payers when you try to claim unemployment benefit you are not entitled to when you have a two year holiday in Poland.

Your knowledge of Polish history is very basic at best. I am sure your knowledge of the welfare system is far better
stick to what you are best at

happy lounging

what is the worst that can happen?

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]


Hi Jones, you have got nothing to worry about then. But make sure you speak to your embassy and get confirmation from Polish immigration (which will not be easy) that you can really work up to 20 hours per week before parting with any money. then you will have the problem of finding a job, which will not be easy.

You need to budget to see if you can afford a two year course with rent, food, travel, entertainment, study fees, books, etc WITHOUT getting a job in Poland. If the number still stack up go for it. If then you do find a job, it is a bonus. There is an Indian community in Warsaw, they live around the airport and

have import export businesses.
I have this nagging suspicion that something is not right with this school as it cannot be this easy. Please come back to the site and keep us updated as to how you get on

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

how long is their MBA program?

not that I would suggest going anywhere near this teaching establishment

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

you can always try the UK.
you speak English and students can work up to 20 hours per week on a student permit

what were the tuitions fees from Skarbek for a school year?

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

you will not be able to get a work permit so no you can't

News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

I was surprised that the Poles banned a Finnish member of Blood and Honour from coming to Poland and holding events.
It is a good sign

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

my dear Sir,

it is with great sadness that I must write to tell you that I think you have answered your own question

the school has clearly lied to you because they need money
it will be impossible for you to find a well paid legal job in Warsaw within three months

if they have to lie to get students it means that it is a very bad school

if you have other options please take them but you cannot trust the school

perhaps European students can find part time work but Indian students cannot work legally in Poland
without a work permit

I am sorry
