History / Interesting memorial about 212 Polish soldiers [18]


I was reading up on this, at the time of posting i was writing this down on pf. It really seems to me something that has gone missing in the British - Polish relationship. These Poles were substantial to setting up the Polish democratic society in London that Marx also became a member off. These are the guys that set about dragging Polish pilots back to the UK during ww2.

Small unknown facts bring about great things.

Edit@ also it turns out the memorial was made many a year ago, but ran out of funding, so local Poles and Brits in Portsmouth gave the funding. Nice to actually have a happy story on here ;)

How the hell can you know that, you are 17...


probably not since you should still be at school...


Hardly, the guy is under-aged to be called an adult in Poland.


And you have to go all the way to Poland for a lass, why not check out the Poles in your local area?

Someone is on my bullshitting radar... and i pick them up quite well...

I really believe so, I think that's why Norman Davies loves the country sooooo much.

History / Interesting memorial about 212 Polish soldiers [18]

It is a really interesting part of history. I came across it after watching the bbc program "who do you think you are?" which takes celebrities and finds out their family histories. Len Goodman is who they were following and his great-great grandfather was a Polish "trooper" in the Krakow Cavalry during the November rising in Poland. Turns out his G-G-grandfather won a major battle just outside Warsaw but in the end they were defeated soon after. They fled to Prussia after the Prussian king offered them exile. Only a thousand made it there and to make things worse the Prussians then decided they wanted rid of them. 212 were put on a boat to N.America but due to storms the ship had to dock in Portsmouth. The Polish soldiers were welcomed in Portsmouth and the local community settled them there instead of sending them to America. Thats the story I'm no historian of Polish history.

This is the link to the program, most of the second part is dedicated to this uprising in Poland.

Life / Poles - what do non-Poles just "not get" and why? [23]

Life / How much money did you spend today in Poland and what did you spend it on? [33]

Today I spent about £700 despite being at work for 14 hours of this day. Dont ask!!!! This is the UK though.

Typical day in Poland, 8z for fags, 15z for food and about 10z for transport. On a pub night it could get upto 150z.

History / Are Poles grateful to the Russians for winning the war? [120]

And lets remind the Russians that they were losing the war before the allies with the Americans invaded the western front.

News / Poles are able to forgive their enemies - how noble. [68]


I always found it strange how Poles take to their leaders. I get the picture that as a General this guy was honoured ect among Poles. Where as put a PM who most Poles hated and made fun of regularly in charge and when he goes head first into a fir tree there is a national uproar against the Russians, even though he brought it on himself. Then bury him in the Wawel...

News / Poles are able to forgive their enemies - how noble. [68]


From what I know, and not to be taken seriously is that Poles tried to discredit him as much as possible. They loved the General but couldnt stand the president.

Aye and that's about it. Just that and a fake Irish bar.


And you're comparing it to???

Travel / Best clubs in Krakow? No tourist traps. [64]


There isn't a night club on that street...?


You obviously just went to the touristy places, try futher afield next time ;)


No members, just guests. Last time I went was on my friends leaving party. Drinks range like, think it was a bit over the top, something around 12z a beer.

Work / The demand for English language learning in Poland is at an all time low [41]


Not really, teachers also need to make a living at the end of the day.

Work / The demand for English language learning in Poland is at an all time low [41]


Those same teachers who spend hours before lessons looking up words in a dictionary.

Problem is that the market is saturated with just about anyone who claims to be able to "speak English". In Krk you can find lots of Chileans, Spanish and Italians teaching English and yet put them to the test they will fall apart. It will be the students who will have the final say and vote with their feet (and their money).

Travel / Best clubs in Krakow? No tourist traps. [64]


Yeah from time to time they have parties for guests only. But rarely so you shouldn't any bother. To be honest for the 6 years I lived in the Krak I never once went to Cien (maybe once when I think about it). It was too snobby for me, girls out with their daddies credit cards ect. Easiest place in the world to pull though. Rdza and Błędne Koło were my kinda places, you can wubu dubu to that list as well.

Travel / Best clubs in Krakow? No tourist traps. [64]

There is no difficulty for any English getting into any pubs or clubs in krk as long as u r not part of a large group. Simples.

Law / Is having private students in Poland legal? Or a registration as self-employed is required [30]

For 6 years I had many private students and never had any problems with my students paying in cash.
