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

Incidentallly it is "deprecating" not "depreciating"

Work / Any TEFL teachers in Poland out there? [28]


TOEFL is actually a test of English as a Foreign language favoured by U.S. universities, not a teaching certificate. I would have thought that with your wealth of knowledge and experience you would have known that.

CTEFLA/CELTA are not a "joke" they are certified entry level qualifications. Many schools like newly qualified people for their enthusiasm........(doesn't sound like you have much)

You're right there are alot of newly qualified teachers who are a bit rubbish, but there are also many old teachers who are just sour and embittered and set in their ways and are not prepared to reflect or develop..:)

UK, Ireland / Poles in Ireland by Peadar de Burca. They "turned their backs on a country that gave them" [195]


Because those kind of jobs only pay enough if you are living 10 to a room, or in a squat or a caravan, not for a normal settled life. BTW if Pole gets a capital letter can "Brit" too please.


I had never heard such gob smacking rudeness and rank racism about people around, until I understood some Polish. That is fact.


If you think the "brits" who create rules are the same "brits" who don't want to live 10 to a room and work for less than minimum wage, you are even more deluded/stupid than you sound.

Czesć

Actually this thread wasn't about "brits" at all but about Polish in Ireland, but you are probably too thick to appreciate the difference

UK, Ireland / How ENGLISH has been affected by POLISH [73]


In North London we always called them "wallies"....
Also in the same area I suppose there was a quite a storng Yiddish influence and some of the wrods we heard or used then maybe we can now connect up with Polish, one that springs to mind is "schmutter/Schmatta" (like stuff or cloth)

Schmuck? anyone?

Polonia / My Polish girlfriend and I want to travel in Turkey [9]


it is not Islamic, it is a secular country, but still I would advise to say that you are married and have your girlfriend wear a ring, as it is quite old fashioned. It depends where you are going to visit , it is a long time since I was there and I suppose coastal type of resorts and big cities are well used to unmarried couples. Still...a ring would be useful. IMHO.

Love / In 2009 nearly 4000 Poles married a foreigner [170]


well....yes....quite..:)

hahaha you caught me!! But did I say "Gypos"? Noooo I don't think I did!

UK, Ireland / A Mexican-Polish citizen is moving to UK by summer 2011 [38]


that's such a rubbish sweeping statement, and goes against any kind of personal knowledge I have of immigrants, old and new.

Yes there are losers and "dogs" who take advantage of our system. The biggest and laziest losers I have ever met, however, have sadly been fellow English. Three generations on benefits, and the expectation of council housing as a "right", and no intention of ever contributing anything except to the workload of social services.

People I have met from other countries, including Poland, have genearlly been hard working and determined. The only ones I really object to are Big Issue selling Romanians, and Albanian pimps. Sadly British people cannot make these observations without being labelled as "racist" by screaming Bliarites.

I merely report what I see...:)

UK, Ireland / POLISH PARTY NORTH LONDON UK [28]


greetings bro...:)) so good to meet someone who agrees with my random rantings...:)

UK, Ireland / POLISH PARTY NORTH LONDON UK [28]


hardly dahling...East Finchley is superb...;) oooh happy days in Fortis Green..

Seriously though I don't think any pub nights are going to work these days, nobody can afford to go out regardless of nationality. It's all part of a government plot to close down public places...

first the pubs...
then the libraries....
next it will be the internet cafes..
I tell you, they want us indoors and online by 2012.

And the most hilarious thing is, we have all bought it as "fun"...get the I - pod, get the Broadband, "lol" "lol", get your friends on Arsebook, etc etc.

George Orwell had so many things right in 1984 (and yes I have actually read it)...but even he couldn't have dreamed this up....

Get down to the pub before they all shut, whatever your nationality..:)

Oh and "Grubas " listen fatty don't patronise us...we have all done our time pouring out voddy under the table..:)

Work / English tutoring help - do we need the TESOL certificate to work in Poland? [33]


what total rubbish. Don't diss my years of bitter experience, classroom and people management, proper understanding of grammar, teacher development, etc etc, all of which have contributed to make me the fantastic teacher I am today, worth way more than a fresh faced "traveller" with a brand new online CELTA

Ah me, the arrogance of youth!!

UK, Ireland / UK passports if resident in Poland [19]


well that is strange as I used mine about 2 days ago to open a business bank account

News / Pubs in Poznan kick out Roma? [256]


very much so. In UK our primary schools are more or less brainwashing children that only Jews suffered in WW2.
When I told my kids that not only Jews suffred and there was more to WW2 than Ann Frank, they looked surprised, as this is how it had been presented to them.

Life / I got beaten and kicks in my face just cuz i dont look polish [205]


Decent greeks? BUAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA!!!!!
Macho, wife beating, knuckle dragging feckwits who all look like gays?

UK, Ireland / Why British men move to Poland [63]


you're right..:)
Going back to the OP, the reason so many British men go out with POlish girls is because many of these Brits are so boring nerdy and skinny that only Polish girls, desperate for change, would touch 'em with a bargepole.

I hate to generalize, I merely report what I have seen..:

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]


COnsidering how many Poles live in England what I really find staggering is their complete lack of interest in, and indeed contempt for, their host country and its people. I mean your average person.

Indeed I have had to pick my jaw off my knees many a time at the incredible off hand rudeness of Polish people towards those around them on public transport.

So why on earth should English people be interested in people who are blatantly only in their country for money or other advantages.
