Life / Disco Polo - No No No No No! [95]

Every country has its Disco (insert here the proper name). The British case, for example, are chipmunks being slaughtered.

You defend them so strongly, are you one of them ?


You should first learn some of your own people that before boarding they should at least let mothers with baby buggies let go out of the buses.

Bullsh!t. Were you paying your tax while being a baby ? A school kid ? I've been paying my taxes and NI since I started a job. Just like you.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]


I may be not a British citizen, but for sure a British taxpayer. And I haven't got any kids, so anyway, this doesn't regard me.

Tired. Still an 'immigrant', but soon will probably become a tax resident.

With your permission, Miss W, a little attempt of translation for some English practice (any correction more than welcomed):
4. Have you swapped heads with your 'little pal' ?

Work / Have been offered a job in Warsaw - should I move to Poland?? [48]


East German movies were shown in Polish TV during socialist times. So you rants are quite outdated, I'm afraid.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

Anybody ? Translation to English, please ? And btw, this is about Polonia in the UK & Ireland, so if you wanna babble about Poles in the US, then get your ar$e outta here, buddy.

News / The most important information and facts about Poland [27]

A województwo is much bigger than a county. It's a conglomerate of several - a few dozen of starostwos. County = (more or less) starostwo. More appropriate equivalent would be a region, like Yorkshire, Kent, etc.

Today 1.3 M, what figure will you invent tomorrow ? 2.4 M ? 5 M ? 100 M ?

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think of the USA [287]


Don't think so. Rather 'Czołem żołnierze' :) (or something that he/she would think would sound like that).

And whom do you think your ancestors saw after they'd crawled from under the Glacier after the end of Ice Age ?

It was certainly all Polish fault, wasn't it, lenny (and other likes of you) ?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


I don't hear Polish language very often when I'm out on sites (most often not at all). Perhaps it's because I'm in Scotland and most of Polish guest workers (in construction services) choose England/Wales and Ireland?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


I don't really know, I never asked them. But , except for the engineers mentioned before, there are some Poles, working for the main contractor and sub-contractors, however their number is moderate (they definitely do not dominate).

UK, Ireland / How many of your co-workers in the UK are Polish? [30]


I don't think so. However my boss asked me if any of my friends were looking for a job, because he was fed up with some (quote) 'halfwits' working for him.


Since I don't think I've got some special status, there's nothing to undermine, I suppose.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


Yeah, on the site I'm working now there are some Polish engineers.

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

Arrows on the roads, or rather lack of them. Sometimes you find out on which lane you're driving just a second too late. Although roads are signed quite clearly, sometimes when you're in some place for the first time, you may get lost.

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

Well, I realised that I should express my hatred and resentment in a thread called 'What do you hate about Scotland and Scottish people?'. But I guess some things are common for Scots and English, they live in a widely cherished and revered Union after all.

UK, Ireland / How many of your co-workers in the UK are Polish? [30]

I'm the only Pole in my company, so I've got not much to say, really.

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

Sugar in potato crisps. It's a peak of idiocy to add sugar to a savoury snack.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

Wales ? Welsh people ? Who are they ?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


Yeah, it is. That's why most of e.g. your clothes have tags saying 'Made in China/Bangladesh/Morocco (or other Asian/African country)'. I wonder how many of them have 'Made in UK' tag.

Just face it - cost of production are lower in Poland. And they don't employ Brits in Poland, because they don't move there.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


See above.


Why ? Just not to shut the remaining factory and move it to e.g. China or India (or Poland). Here you go.

+ hangover (one day).

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

Ah, right, I didn't take into account weekend.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

Yes, send them home. And all the problems of the UK will dissapear on the next day.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


I know what 'average' means. But I don't think that 'doctors, engineers and managers' from Poland working in Britain will pull average wage of Polish workers up in these statistics, simply because there is too few of them.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


Errr, I find it 'too optimistic'.
