UK, Ireland / 50 babies a day born to Polish mothers in UK [81]

You might bless us with a Kaczynski but we won't be so stupid to vote one into power...

...then again I'd love to have the chance to fly some of our former leaders into a Russian forest.

Law / Organisations that deal with domestic abuse within families in Krakow? [10]

She is in a flat belongs to a friend of mine. Her mum turned a blind eye, her dad is a rocker pumped up skin head. She would have asked for help earlier but she was scarred about her mum and little sister who she claims her dad doesnt touch. I cant mind what age folk leave school in Poland or i might have offered her a job in Scotland for a break.

Law / Organisations that deal with domestic abuse within families in Krakow? [10]

but the cops should be the first to be informed.

Cops were informed, father told them she fell. Would have been some fall to leave those kinda marks on the face but nothing on the hands. I remember her father slightly from my teaching days in Nowa Huta, bit of a drunk but then again so are quite a few and it doesnt make them lash out.

Law / Organisations that deal with domestic abuse within families in Krakow? [10]

Friend in need.

Unfortunately I no longer live in Krakow so I'm not in a position to help.
But today I got a phone call from one of my ex students who has kept in contact with me over the years as I've helped her with her studies ect.

The lass herself is only 18 and today informed me that she had been beaten up by her father. After skyping her it looks most likely she has a broken nose and maybe a fractured cheekbone. If I was in Krakow I'd take her out of that environment and put her somewhere away from her family, unfortunately im not in Krakow.

Question is are there any centres or organisations that deal with domestic abuse within families in Krk?

Work / Salary for Teaching EFL in Krakow [120]

That would require some sort of cooperation between teachers. Not gonna happen.

Exactly, there is always gonna be a new crop of likely teachers from whatever country that will work for peanuts just for a job in Krk.

Work / Salary for Teaching EFL in Krakow [120]

Seems like wheaton is a man with the exact same opinions and experiences as me, before I left the teaching game in Krk. For me charging the rates I did for 60min private lessons it took a long time, many years even and many stubbed toes trying to get through certain doors. But people charging 20pln per lesson never really bothered me. In that game you get what you pay for ;)

Food / Classic Polish Cooking (book) [9]

What would you consider it to be?

A strange mix of different stuff. Not saying it's not good but you wont hear too many Polish grannies giving you these recipes.

Study / School of Polish for Foreigners at the University of Lodz [43]

No sense whatsoever in studying in a private school in Lodz - the university does a great job there.

Good for them, nothing wrong with competition.

Again - the University offers all this and more.

Again, Delph having to be the negative I know everything about anything guy ;)

Love / Don't want others to join us at a table - is it normal for Polish girls to get angry? [161]

I told her that our being together wouldn't be a good idea but she couldn't understand how sb could refuse a Polish girl.

And the worst is, they then start stalking you. Following you about the pubs, turning up outside your work, constantly txting you till it finally does your head in and you have to spell it out in no uncertain terms... pffft!

Love / Don't want others to join us at a table - is it normal for Polish girls to get angry? [161]

Interesting, yes, now please get back on topic

Can I have a Big Mac, large fries and some cola. Hold the cola and give me a quarter pounder with extra bacon :)
(Damn it I've made myself hungry!)

If you are going to go on a date you have to be relaxed and open to all possibilities. If someone comes and starts talking with your date (another person she knows) then just chill. What's the point in getting upset over something so flippant? The lass (unless she is a complete bone-head) will appreciate you all the more for it ;)

But the key thing you must never....and I mean NEVER do on a date is buy each Sambuca shots! Bad things happen, BAD things :D ;p
