UK, Ireland / British + Polish relationship experiences [16]

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

These are very good questions. Unfortunately, I don't think the poster has considered any one of them. Furthermore, I think she may do whatever Kelly does. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Chantel, if you rush into marriage then yes you may become just another statistic. However, if you are ready for marriage and you see a future with your boyfriend then you really don't need advice from complete strangers on the internet. The biggest question you face for me is #3 from Richfilth's list:

3) Am I prepared to relocate to my partner's country for work?

I'm not saying that your boyfriend will return to Poland in the long-term, but what if he does? Are you prepared to live and work in Poland, possibly for the rest of your life?

UK, Ireland / Do Polish Immigrants in Great Britain hate each other? [60]

The average person doesn't get to meet the criminal gangs, the single mummies and the benefit scroungers.

Who are you talking about? British chavs, Polish or other?
In Britain there's virtually half a generation of these Vicky Pollards. A huge underclass of 'criminal gangs, the single mummies and the benefit scroungers' and they're British too. The ASBO generation which you may or may not be a part of.

I am a member of many forums.

Come on, spill the beans. What other forums are you on? I need a good laugh:D

Ah.... here we are again. Everybodys favourite Welshman posting about the Polish community yet again...

hudsonhicks: Entertaining though!
It's really funny that you have no life and have to go to Polish sites and read comments to entertain yourself.

It really isn't normal to be spending Friday nights online thinking about Polish people, Hudders.

I think everyone is a little bit worried with your infatuation with Polish people and also about welfare benefits. Do you seriously have no life?

I have to say that I couldn't care less what is written on some silly Polish website. I've probably met, made friends and worked with more Polish people than you ever will. Do you not have any experience with this community? Do you really just search Polish websites for b*llocks to post here? When I tell you that you need to grow up and get a life, I'm really not joking. However, your pathetic posts are entertaining for us because it's hilarious what a sad individual you are. You really need to get laid, get a job, get a hobby or something.

Who cares if Polish people are saying stuff about black people. You were probably doing that a few years back. I thought you guys were more concerned about the Nation of Islam taking over Britain? I thought The Sun and Daily Fail readers such as yourself (and don't try to deny it) would have found another minority group to target by now...

Life / Is this more related to being raised in Polish culture, or a medical psychiatric disorder? [17]

Is this more related to being raised in Polish culture, or a medical psychiatric disorder?
I think the two go hand in hand:D Just kidding;)

When people stopped talking and caring about me, I fell into a severe depression and started doing harmful things

You need to keep it together. Hopefully these days are all in the past.
Certain traits can run in a family, they are our primary role-models after all. If you've studied Psychology then you won't be any stranger to the whole 'nature v nurture' debate.

Rather than looking outwards for a solution I think you need to look inwards. You won't find your answers in some guy, or from any amount of attention, negative or otherwise.

You need to think about what you really want to do with your life, what makes you happy. Then run with that...

Poles were never needed.

But what has necessity got to do with the price of bread?
The EU is one big country now. There was always bound to be change. You can move to a better part of the big EU country. I think it's fantastic:P

The worst thing about the UK is all the chavs that live there. All the small-minded xenophobic idiots. I'm suprised anyone goes there at all...

Why can't the Pole-Brigade here just accept the truth about the abnormal clannish behavior of the Poles in the UK.

But it's not the truth. You're talking rubbish as usual.

I don't care.. just accept it and stop arguing

Polish are in the UK. Accept that fact. Some have been for a very long time. Deal with it!
Making taunts about Communism just shows how pathetic you are. Seriously, get a life.
And WTF is the 'Pole-Brigade'? This is Polishforums after all... debil

Well, you should have realised who their target customers are...
Come on, you seem to spend most of the day hanging round 'Polski Skleps' (in between signing on and your internet 'alone time') that you should know exactly why they are advertising in Polish.

Have you ever been to an Irish bar abroad? Have you ever been abroad...?

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

Some posters are so "regular" that they defecate 2400+ times upon this forum in only a few months.

You seem to have defecated 2571 times so far... when will it stop? Can't you find a pro-Hamas website to join?

Yes. F stop, they may be experts on such mundane matters, but as for understanding the Polish spirit they seem to be incapable of doing this.

Do you think that you are the embodiment of 'Polish spirit'? If so, you have obviously lived in the States way too long...

This highlights the incredibly "weird" mentality of the Poles. We have many foreigners living in this country, i've never seen such widespread clannish behavior though.

You've obviously never been to Spain then. How many British owned businesses advertise and talk only in Spanish? I'm sure you could find a lot of 'clannish' behaviour there.

go on hudsonhicks kontakt them and give them a piece of your mind......

Yeah that will be an interesteing conversataion:

"Tak, słucham."
"Hi! I'm Hudson Hicks an English racist and I don't think that you should cater for the thousands of Polish people that live in Liver... "

"Ty znowu! K...! To sp.... ty..... hu... jeb.... "

then you've never lived among Indians ;)

Quite true. There's also a Chinese food shop in my town, which does the same - all in Chinese. Still not as bad as the British though, in some countries that is... That's life. Deal with it you haters:)

UK, Ireland / Domestic arguments caused by differences between Polish and English culture [109]

On the other hand, something very strange does come over many (or even most) Polish immigrants to the UK.

Neither of us have met most of the 2,000,000 Polish immigrants especially considering so many have returned home. So we can't really comment on a whole nation, just our own experiences.

I had naively invited some of my good friends to stay at my place and tried to help

Never do this! I've been in the same boat. Yes, I had to kick a member of my ex's family out my house once. But 10 years previously I did the same when my best mate from school suddenly 'morphed'.

It's best not to live with friends in my opinion...

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

But, it is these trolls who set themselves up as Polish 'experts'. Funnily enough their expert opinions are usually derogatory towards Poland, Polish politics and culture and especially towards Polish women.

I think this thread proves that, and we now know (as if we didn't before), who those people are.

UK, Ireland / Domestic arguments caused by differences between Polish and English culture [109]

Any other ideas?

Yes:)

I and my SO have both noticed that a lot of Poles who come to the UK become strange, to say the least.

I know a lot of 'immigrants' Polish or otherwise who do act very strange when in the UK. Some people are just idiots. But, they are hardly representative of the majority.

Natasia just needs to find some better house mates. I wouldn't live with those sorts of people. Generally, I have found most Polish and Czech people to be very house proud and very honest.

Again, there are probably those types of people living in the UK. There are also the graduate/post-graduate successful types who are well liked and only came to the UK for a better life. You won't meet them outside your local kebab shop fighting with the English chavs because they tend to socialise with their friends at house parties. Or, they just simply opt for the quiet life.

You get idiots in every country. It's futile trying to stigmatise a whole nation because someone broke your mug or whatever.

Glad to see you're wealthy man. It must be great , going out and buying that new suit, driving around in your car, buying that new ipod and going on those long haul holidays each year without needing to go to work:)

You're still talking about material possessions. That's not real wealth. You will understand that one day;) But yeah, maybe you're right. I should go suit shopping tomorrow :)

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

I've said it before English teaching is a racket full stop. If you can make a living from it fair play but it’s no big shake.

Really? Tell that to the schools and the students. The pay is good but that's due to demand and supply, very basic economics.

I think delph is qualified to teach English outside the state schools but so is my 12 year old daughter.

That's a rather low blow. Teaching English in Poland is more about ability and less about bits of paper. As for England and Wales, who cares...

Why is this a shock to you?

It's called sarcasm.

Do my opinions seem strong to you?

Maybe strong's the wrong word. What do you prefer 'misguided', foolish, ignorant...?
You express the strangest opinions about countries and people, you seem to be living in a dream world...

Normally heard that said by people on low wages and struggling :)

What makes you think that either of these applies to me?

Joking aside, most of us go to work, because we have to

Ah, that's the difference you see. I go to work because I want to, and not because I have to:P

This place is ridiculous.

Then leave! No one will miss you. The only tears that will be shed are your own...

Oh wait is it that Vincent is Britsh and you wouldn't complain about a fellow Brit's asinine behavior?

If you want to pick a fight with a moderator after making personal attacks on PF members, then it is your behaviour that is 'asinine'.

Back on topic. Des, so you don't live in Poland. What a shock! You don't live in Israel either? Big shock! And yet you have such strong opinions about these countries...

I must tell him and his crew of forum trolls to hire a new private detective to stalk me

No one is stalking you. You're not that special.

This forum really is a creepy place.

Some members are really creepy.

Mods - I don't think Des should be leaking personal information about other PF members.

Define having a 'life'... I know plenty of people with money who don't have a life.

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

but I just don't get why anyone would go to work somewhere, where the income could be up to 5 times less, than it would be at home?

One reason might be that the rent is 5 times cheaper (for me at least), but the income is certainly not 5 times less. You would be suprised just how far a monthly pay packet can stretch in Poland.

However, some people are only interested in money and cannot see beyond material possessions or a fat bank account.
Poland certainly isn't for everyone, I might not ever be 'rich' here, but there's much more to life than money mate.
I hope that helps you to understand a little bit...

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

To answer the thread's query. No, I do not live in Poland

There, that wasn't too hard was it;)

And for the record:

some British posters, living in Poland, with no Polish blood

I don't think you know which British (Irish, or even American) posters living in Poland have Polish blood and which do not.
You the one 'conforming' pal, not me. 'Sheep' stay at home and bash everyone who is different or think different to them. Such a shame;)

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

It's not that strange... The reality is that those posters typically have never lived in Poland, have no Polish blood, connections or friends. Their sole purpose on this site is to stir racial hatred. They're not really going to admit they they live in the UK, EIRE or in the USA, are they?

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

But they words you have written (and their implied pronunciation) are virtually all wrong. If you were claiming the similarities of those words between Czech and Russian, I'd be a bit more inclined to agree with you. But never in the last 6 years or so that I've lived with Polish people I have never heard the sort of pronunciations you describe. I certainly don't use that kind of pronunciation. None of the people I've met either back at home in England, including my ex-girlfriend or my best mate, or here in Poland pronounce the words as you have written them. And my example of the verb 'to be' is just one very basic example of the vast differences in grammatical usage between the two languages.

Just some foof for thought for you... Maybe Poles speak differently in North America than in Poland?

I second that question, all I get in google translate is "вы" for "wy jesteście"

Yeah, you can't use google translate to answer that one. That's Russian grammar for you.
