News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]

OK isthatu, I thought it was a self referential term. I can only apologise if repeating the term used by the OP caused offence. Are you sending them abuse too? No I thought not. I do not hate anyone. And yes I do know some male to female transexuals who referred to themselves as 'trannies', that's why I thought it was OK. Yes I do have a very good friend of that persuasion, and have known some others.

My views were pretty inoffensive compared to other stuff on this and other threads.
I really have no idea why my small comment caused you so much offence.
I never use words like nigger or paki or spastic. You really don't know me at all. Please stop making assumptions.
I have not read Germaine Greer since I was 14, she was before my time really.

Why would I lie? Some of my best friends etc etc...;)
why are you changing my quotes? I never use language like that, but obviously you do.


the thing is you used 'cow', *******' etc. All I did was, as this is a forum, offer an opinion.
I am not a bitter old bigot at all, I have mixed courteously with all kinds of people which is why I would never use your kind of language..;)

seriously up their own arses bunch of Alpha males in frocks.
hahaha finally we agree..;)

chill out isthatu, there's really no need to be abusive just because someone's opinion differs from yours. Am I guilty of 'thoughtcrime'?
Besides I have met a fair few trannies who had the surgery....nothing about them would change my opinion now, oh they KNOW IT ALL about gender trust me, soooooo superior to us mere women. hahaha a bit like you then ....I have noted your choice of vocabulary to abuse women..;)

News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]


your average male to female tranny (if such a thing exists) is a bored old man who wishes to colonise the female in order to show that he knows more about being a woman than even a woman does.

what a tosser. What's wrong with a bit of simple cross dressing?

PWEI - you obviously know the facts, but 5 years on full pay? c'mon????
As for my case, I seem to remember there was some get out clause, you had to have been working for the same company for over 2 years or something like that. OF course, I made it my business to find out the facts at the time.....it's all fading into the mists of ancient history now.....

Life / Expats/Immigrants in Poland: Needy, Greedy or contributor. Which one are you? [118]


I doubt very much that they had to pay her full salary for five years...sounds like an apocryphal story to me. I cannot believe for a minute that maternity labour laws are that generous in any country, let alone Poland.

When I took maternity leave, all my employers had to do was keep my job open for me for X amount of time, should I have wished to return. And it was months not years. They certainly didn't have to pay me.

Please if you are going to make sweeping bullshyte statements, back them up.

Law / Benefit entitlement in Poland for foreigners [37]


that's what I call ambition......might just be easier to look for work.


actually the law states that if you have savings, you are 'entitled' to jack Shyt...certainly in the UK anyway. it's not for 'pleasure', it's for food and heating for people who have nothing.

Law / Benefit entitlement in Poland for foreigners [37]


quite, especially when you already have money anyway. It's a safety net for the people of that country, not a 'freebie' for itinerant Aussies.

I have met your type in London, you spend all your time moaning about the people, the weather and the warm beer, and being superior in your Aussieness...;)

Now that things are shyte in USA you want to go running back.

so did I, I am just more honest than you..;)

Work / Looking for accommodation & teaching job in KATOWICE [78]


it's not about any other job though iis it?
most of us rushed through a virtually useless 4 week course and since then have learnt 'on the job' - am I right or am I right?..;) OK since then you may have improved your quals, but you could never have done that without that on the job training...I pity my students from those days, and so should you if you are honest.

Work / Looking for accommodation & teaching job in KATOWICE [78]


that's right....one colleague I had the pleasure of working with for one summer had the DELTA and MA, yet turned up late for every lesson, unprepared and eating a cake.

And she was so up her ass about her quali's!!
'People skills', cultural awareness and respect are sooooooo important.
She was a racist biatch too, and would spend the break moaning about 'bloody ungrateful Chinese'.
Still I had the last laugh when all her students gave ME all the little gifts they had brought over from China for their teacher...hehehehee!

OK Sid, you might have a point or two there.
Still Jack will find his own way......one day he will be in class and some student will chirp to him...."is that verb transitive or intransitive?" and he will be like...er..... what's a verb?

hmmm....school director will be delighted...


no Seanus I have met a fair few who have never been near Callan, they were just highly effective TEFL teachers in steady employment. They were quite exceptional tis true.....

often a degree trains you to feel superior for no real reason.

Work / Looking for accommodation & teaching job in KATOWICE [78]

It's OK Jack, they are like the old men in the gallery in the Muppet Show, jealous of your youth and optimism, especially the English teachers among them.

Take care, and have fun...

Oh and Seanus, I have known a fair few excellent teachers of English with no degree, although it certainly is more unusual.

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]


yes but in the case of English, the word 'tense' has simply been borrowed unthinkingly from the Latin, along with many other nonsense things ("never split an infinitive") and what are described as 'tenses' are in fact, aspects. Think about it, do some reading, so many 'native born English teachers' just get stuck in a rut, and never reflect on what has been set down wrongly for years.

Have you read Yule?

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]


no, DD could have been murdered at any time.....your comment would have no relation as to WHEN the murder took place at all.
People who have taught English (as I am guessing u might have) are so hung up on TENSE meaning TIME...when it simply doesn't, it's a misnomer.

I was teaching English for years before this clicked.

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]

Lyzko


Lyzko, I know you're a good linguist and all, but English tenses do not actually measure time at all.

For example, suppose you came into the room where you knew that Delphiandomine and I had been having dinner together, and you found DD dead, with blood spattered up the walls, and I had disappeared, with my bloody footprints leading out of the door.....you might say..

'Oh no!! Rozumiemnic has murdered DD!!'
Now what does that have to do with time?

I started talking about English tenses and aspects to the OP as so many people have never thought about these things in their own languages, and if they did, it might make learning another language easier.

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]

do you know some English tenses? It really might help (if English is your native language, that is!)
Have you thought about what you mean when you say,
I smoke....(when, how often?)
I have smoked. I have never smoked......
I had smoked for years before I discovered weed....

for example.

UK, Ireland / Why do so many Polish guys in the UK have a crew cut or buzz cut? [106]


good points about hair sid, plenty of short haired hippies and long haired racists,in Uk anyway.
As a parent what has struck me the most is how middle class parentes encourage their boys to have long hair,preferably in a floppy surfer 'do', wheras working class and council house boys have a number 2. It is remarkable, as though the posh parents are seeking another 'badge' to divide their boys from the chavs.

Personally I prefer the number 2 for my boy, less washing and fewer lice..;)
