GOOD!!
Can,t have it all your own way always. Learn to yield a little. Like Wroclaw says , see it through the eyes of an outsider.
This is my penultimate post here.

News / Komorowski won Poland's presidency vote? [125]
That makes me sick.
Your friends should not moan in the future now, should Komorowski turn out to be shite.
They have effectively put him in power..... why waste your vote ?
Wasters, the bloody lot of you.
If they voted, at least they could have said, " I did " or " I did not " influence the outcome.
All my friends, who voted for Marek Jurek in the first round, stayed home today as well.

Sounds to me like your revenue could be right in front of your nose.
Farm ?........ sounds interesting and it doesn,t have to be a farm the way people envisage it. Depending on its location, size, etc.
I have some ideas, and what else could be better than being your own boss in PL. where employment for foreigners is a myth. ( unless you teach boring English )
but i need some money first...!

Week days always busy, so I tend to leave 5am saturdays.
Some people like to leave in the evening, to arrive in Dover, get a crossing and be in Calais in the morning. Big mistake as it keeps you awake when you would normally be sleeping, hence you arrive in France wanting a kip. If not, a few hours on the motorway and you feel shagged.
Arrived in PL one year on Sunday morning. It was like a ghost town, the best run through PL I ever had. Szczecin - Gdansk.
Not thinking of writing a book about this road trip are you ? lol
Thats my idea.
do you drive on the weekends or on week days? which is best do you think?

Law / Advice please - Getting monies from a Poland employer who refuses to pay [41]
Sod the system, they always look after their own.
Sling the dirt man and find some good mercenaries to knee cap the b*****ds.
SERIOUSLY, the best deal is to give them bad publicity.
Forget what,s owed to you, you ain,t gonna see it.

Fog, torrential rain, road works, wheel falling off trailer on entering PL...... you name it.
Basically I just head for Berlin, yep, one long drag, but can,t go wrong really.
Done the journey 20-30 times now, and it always seems like an adventure, always a story to tell, and what seems like a trip to hell, is always laughable on recollection.
I might just write that book one day. lol

Words can,t describe what I would like to do to an employer like that.
Hire a hitman to blow his balls off.
Put all their personal details on here, the grapevine works pretty well.
( eg ) name and address, the governors name.......

Travel / Changing money in Poland [15]
If the Polish national bank gave a better rate than the kantors, then this would put an end to them and exchanging money would become normal like in the west, not to mention the Polish bank would reap the rewards.
I don't understand why people still use kantors.

Law / Business Etiquette (Polish companies' dealings with clients in other counties) [14]
Couldn,t agree more. People with attitude and no common sense.
Been down that road too, as I like the personal introduction, but in Poland it just does not work like it does in the west. The poles have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to business etiquette. At the moment they are trying to do things their way, because they always think they know best, unfortunately they haven,t got a clue............ yet.
after chatting to someone today i got the impression that Polish companies don't do enough when it comes to dealing with clients in other countries.
Couldn,t agree more. People with attitude and no common sense.
the preference is always face to face meetings with externals.
