Food / Can you do online food shopping in Poland? Supermarkets. [42]

Tesco in PL has ridiculous prices and their management is stubborn like a donkeys. Their discount prices are equal regular prices elsewhere. Do they think that people are stupid? They should visit Carrefour for training how to run a business.

News / US military hardware coming to Poland [76]

A Polish amphibious transporter sank on Wednesday during NATO exercises

Polish but designed in CCCP ;)

Introduced in 1965. Ideal for rescue actions in case of flood disaster on a smooth water. Unfortunately used in open, disturbed sea. Not entirely thought through decision.

Law / Do I need a boat licence for a lake in Poland? [9]

Does anyone know if you need a licence for the lake? I want to take out my small rubber boat with a small outboard?

They say. You don't need any licence up to 10kW (14hp) engine. If you are going to fish, boat should be registered and have markings on the boards. If you are going to row or fish in the night you have to have lights.

Life / TV commercial breaks in Poland - are 10-12 minutes normal? [4]

what do Poles do when there's a 10-12 minute commercial running? : ) Do they just flip channels or they watch them till the end.

Twelve minutes isn't the top lenght :) We used to say "I saw commercial with short movie breaks yesterday" Solution is very simple. We gave them (Polsat. TVN) the finger. We do not watch tv at all. I bought in 2009 zillion inches thin tv which ended up as pc monitor. YT is much more interesting.

Po polsku / Ilu "polanoglotów" na PF? [25]

Czy inne fora są ciekawsze i przyciągają więcej polskich dyskutantów?

Oczywiście. Co więcej są fora bez moderacji i mają się znakomicie. Jednakowoż muszę tu częściej zaglądać bo mój angielski wietrzeje ;) A najbardziej lubię czytać o loverach co poznali polską księżniczkę i o tym czy 7tyś zł wystarczy na życie we Wrocku ;)

Travel / My Krakow Trip - Including Blackmarket, 2nd handstores, Drugs? [19]

Second Question of this thread is about the 2nd hand stores, i heard that they're a lot cheaper than the usual stores which are spread all over Europe. im looking for nice and pretty things to buy, like jewellery or just clothes

It's not true. No one is waiting for (you on white horse) with half price. Even if golden ring found on the street, the first seller consume whole profit.

Life / Why can't Polish people just keep their word? [12]

I have, however, many many times been let down by workmen, like builders, electricians, plumbers, etc. They say they'll do the job next week and then disappear for a month. I know there are flakey, unreliable tradesmen everywhere, but in Poland it seems that they just don't care about their reputation.

We can't ask as much as we want so don't care about our reputation. Thank goodness I escaped myself to the office finally. Several times changed my phone number to drop my moaning "clients".

UK, Ireland / A man from Poland stole Britain's secret nuclear submarine documents to sell to his government. [16]

This is funny, some ordinary guy got access to such information with ease

Sounds like a fairy tale :)

and took the restricted files which were stored in his airing cupboard why not in the fridge? :)
he had stolen the contents of a computer hard drive unencrypted? :)
He contacted the Polish embassy to sell these documents why not the Russian? ;)
Mr Spencer's girlfriend Sophie Berriman came to the conclusion :)

We even didn't know how talented spy we have ;)

Love / Polish girls hard in relationships [156]

So you are trying to tell Us that in western countries women are not looking for rich man?

I think western girls are more realistic, they taste harsh life in capitalism earlier and know that waiting for a prince may be a long journey.

Our women are like princesses because they look like princess

Majority of them actually look like a dwarfs with their 162cm.

Love / Polish girls hard in relationships [156]

This is the experience of us Scottish men, our women are warm and kind, we just can't get used to Polish girls and we'd like them to all go home to be quite honest.

Your women are kind of friends our are kind of princesses. Probably in more developed countries (30 years ahead of us) women are more "unisex" We can observe women-welders in USA but not in Poland. Our daughters-princesses are still trained by mothers to catch the man for the uncertain future (in some cases to catch a farmhand).

UK, Ireland / How to find a job in the UK coming from Poland? [8]

how should I to find a job, living in PL

I would say it is mission (almost) impossible. My friend found a job this way but it was in 2006 and work agency was involved.
He is talented carpenter and carpenters in the UK are equal gods.

I'm electronics technician unfortunately. I was looking for a job for a six months but unsuccesful. When appeared in the UK I have found a job in two days.
