Law / Legal Change of Name After Marriage (I'm UK, she is Polish) [12]

Go for it if you and she want to.
People sometimes have problems spelling both my surname and first name,one is irish one is Scandi, Id never consider changing the spelling just to be more helpfull but I do understand that some people will need telling twice,fair enough,should be no different swapping an *i* for an *a* really.

The post war *refugees* did so much to fit in that I cringe at the way some of their grandchildren now pronounce their names,these days ,with all the far more *exotic* names in the UK why shouldnt a Polish Lady stick to traditions and adapt her husbands name to suit her?

News / Czech drug legalisation threatens Poland [111]


You would still be out numbered by lovers of freedom.
Im guessing you are pro guns?
so why anti drugs?
Its all about personal freedoms.
I dont want to stick chemicals in my body (any more) but if i did who has a right to say I cannot ? If i commited crimes to fund that habit,fine,charge me with those crimes,untill then leave me the hell alone to live my life how i want to,same with guns,if i try to use it on a civilian by all means shoot me but give me the respect to be like 99 % of people who would never dream of doing anything negative unless in self defence.

the problems with drugs are the wrong people take them....
An artist taking some drugs comes up with fantastic art, someone trying to hold down a 9 to 5 in an office takes days off and maybe produces crap art in a drawing pad during the come down,everyone loses there :)

Life / Under-river tube a mistake! Tunnel flood in Warsaw. [13]


Lols, suicide bombing nuns !!!!!

Seriously,there have been underground tunnels running under the Thames in London for about 150 years now......even with a terrorist attack on the lines the whole thing about being under a river or under 50 metres of solid ground is pretty frikkin moot .

Its not like you can just dig up from a tunnel even if its not under a river is it?

Lols...try telling a Belgian that they speak French or Dutch and then come back and tell us again there is no Belgian languages ;)

Language / GCSE Polish experience. [51]


Where to start with that one??/
A LMAO would be rude but genuine :)
There are words adapted from early *french* in use in English,beyond that there is very little to compare the languages. English,as Roz has already stated most definatly did NOT come from french but from more germanic roots with a mix of *celtic* Brithonic and later Norse making far more of an impact on the language than French.

The french spoken at the time of the Norman invasions was mostly confined to the Court and *high sociaty* (and would also be hard for most modern french speakers to understand),the French speakers became English speakers over time in the same way a Polish speaker in 19 th century America would eventually speak English but still include some Polish or mock polish phrases and words, terms for Foof for instance, kilebasa instead of sausage,that sort of thing, it has added to the American English language but hasnt exactly made it simple for most Americans to speak Polish outside ordering in a deli :)

You do need to do the deed poll thing, its really simple these days though.
But,again, really,nice idea,but,this is England,not Poland,you will just be causing needless confusion. But, if you are happy dealing with people being confused,crack on :)

Food / Is water in Warsaw artificially flouridated? [6]

You will probably be doing what the locals do,buying drinking water,even though many people say there is nothing wrong with Warsaw tap water these days there is still a suspision.

Though it has to be said, there is nothing wrong with fluride....unless you are an insane USAF general worrying about his essence being changed by pinko commies.....

Gentlemen,please,no fighting,this is the war room!

Sorry, but,I really did think it was only that lunatic in Dr Strangelove who worried about the Fluride.....at the end of the day,with all the sh!t man has been producing chemical wise for the last hundred and fifty years floating around the planet a bit of fluride keeping your teeth clean via the water system is not up there on the things to worry about list.....the high levels of polution and general *omg,my snot is BLACK and I can barely breathe..* after 2 days in Warsaw is more of a worry !

but Im country,all big cities are dirty and smelly to me ;)

History / Need Help - mysterious object identification. Could it be Polish? [19]

Is there a grove in the base of the cup?
If so it could be(there are a LOT of versions) a german army cup from a tropical water bottle ( as used by the Africa Korps) this could easily be a War booty piece found by a Polish soldier in North Africa who then served in the Liberation of the Low Countries.

Fear will do that to a girls appetite.
Have you tried taking their hand cuffs off and unchaining them from the basement radiator before you push their food through the door?

For fek sake, its not the 16th century, get your head out your arse you daft old puritan.....

These silly girls danced around in very demure dresses with barely an inch of flesh on show.....

FBI profilers would have a field day with your reaction...images of human skin collections in your attic would probably not be too far fetched a hypothosis.

News / Poles, Polonians and aliens on Pussy Riot? [182]


Thats not really the issue in Russia.
Russian Nationalism ties its self to the Church as a belated counter reaction to the Soviet era.
Its deeper than that,its not religion above country but religion being country with a lot of Russians.
Even Stalin recognised this and re opened the Churches he hadnt destroyed in the 20s and 30s when the nazis were nearing the gates of Moscow.

So,the Putinites ,the young drones from Nashi etc see the protest for exactly what it was,an attack on the twin pilars of nationalism, the *big man* at the helm and the Patriarch at the spiritual helm.

They knew what they were doing,they will not have expected a stern telling off and a few hours street cleaning,but,saying that,anyone who knows Russia knows the fastest way to hurt opposition is to support it from the west.

Oh hush up you old nutter...
There have been Riots in London since Boudica got PMS and kicked the Romans arses.....the 19th and 20 th century was full of them when there were about 20 black guys in the entire south of England....

Everything comes down to race with some people, that's their hang up,their failing,stop speaking as though you speak for the rest of us you relic.

Love / Why can't a guy from a foreign country marry a girl from Poland ? [44]

You are NOT one of them Ironsides,dont worry.
No, its a certain style of argument/debate used by a lot of Polish men that frankly is more a style used by women . Not actually coming out and saying what you want to say directly but hiding the **********. Example, more or less calling someone a retard ,insulting them but then adding an " I feel sorry for you " bit in mock concern....

Any validity you had slagging off the daily fail was lost the minute you wrote that b!tchy bit of passive aggressive abuse about english women.

God, why are so many Polish men,well, women?

Ah, Vincent demonstrating his people skills again..... try, I posted my reply while it was still in society and culture,it moved to this section for,well,what reason?

An answer or sarcasm,its your choice ,demonstrate maturity or pettiness,over to you.


Yes,but I doubt you will get an answer,or even a polite response from Vincent .


Just cant help yourself can you.....if it makes you feel the big man though,lashing out at people when you have been a plum, who are we to take that away from you.....

But hey, it was only the OP and two or three other people asking why the thread was moved...
Like I said,anyone actually reading the content of the thread and link provided would look beyond the few simple words in the title......

UK, Ireland / Poles 'failing to integrate in the UK'? [58]

Sorry, utter tosh. Why would young people come here and then spend their evenings in an old persons drinking club.
These veterens clubs have been steadily shutting down for years now as they come to the end of their natural life much as their core members have.

ps, Mods, why did you move this, its clearly about Polish sociaty and culture as much as it is about UK.......
tip for ya, read the post before changing what thread it goes in........

Oh,look,the OP has been edited.....maybe because the quoted article clearly states Yezhov was NOT jewish......

But,predictably pathetic comments on that page,out of 360 posts most are calling it anti semitic just for pointing out not all Jews were *victims*.......FFS......Unfortunatly so many jews are like the french,they make it so hard for you to like them.....
