Love / What did I do wrong? A Polish girlfriend doesn't want me to send her anything? [84]

As the Poles would say 'she has a cat', LOL

DE, good attempt at an explanation but Poles don't see themselves in that way. In Japan, they have o-kari (indebtedness) but they don't flip at the gift bearer unless he comes with combs, LOL ('shi' is comb and it signifies death).

Simply put, it's an overreaction.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Tusk's private tower? His annual getaway? ;) Is that where he keeps JK when he becomes 'inconvenient and awkward'?

How could you possibly know that, pawian? Pawian, you are too much of a nice guy and top quality poster that I don't want to set you straight but, perhaps unwittingly, you have just shown the very unfortunate trait that I see in Poles. Their suspicious nature makes them see the worst in sb. They will try and catch you out and, frankly, I find it disgusting! Poles can't deal with me because my intentions are always good yet they still try and trip me up. Time to back off and perhaps see that sb from outside of your country has genuine and sincere intentions??!!

'had overdone it' is better, pawian san :) :) Przesadził is more of a Polish expression here.

A victory salute of some description? Is it Odin? ;)

I don't like making generalisations anymore on the forum, very very seldomly. I see how wayward they can be. However, I can permit myself one here. Don't expect a lot of gratitude for things offered. Now, I have seen some Poles show it which means it's not a black&white issue but I've been struck at how ungrateful people have been here where a Scot would be almost kissing the person out of gratitude.

I mentioned the 'flip' syndrome. I really give no women here any cause as they will take it and blow it up. 'Robić z igły widły' is sth many seem to revel in. Making a mountain out of a molehill. They lead boring lives and this gives them the drama they need to make it semi-worthwhile.

UK, Ireland / Do you think ED Miliband looks Polish? [21]

No, I don't. If there was a place at the bottom of the sea between Cyprus and Israel, he'd've had a residence there.

Love / Do polish men like career women? [60]

Very true in Japan. The men there often don't know how to react to forthright Western women. Polish men don't seem to have such an issue with it. They just ooze their Polishness and hierarchy often doesn't matter that much.

Croggers, even that isn't fully true.

It's not an urban myth. Ask around, you'll see.

Could well be, Penn ;)

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]

The Germans have no real reason to be anti-Polish. The problems may begin in earnest when the Antifa movement grows and the Polish right wing looks to stamp them out.

Men and women alike like it.

you think Żubrówka with apple juice is the best drink in the world.

I mean, it's good but there are far more interesting options out there.
