Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Minorities get jokes made about them - it's just an extension of play ground bullying.

It's not fair, it's ungrounded but it's life

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

i was DWARFED by these guys!! (all Irish but def ABOVE average height)

er, they weren't by any chance playing in the Irish second row yesterday were they? I'm 6ft 4 and those guys would make me look small :)

I dont think its so easy to attach this claim to one european country?

Yep another generalisation has hit the forum

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]

Polish Girls vs Russian Girls

My hugely intellectual contribution to this debate is that the flight to see one in their home country tends to be longer from London for Russian Girls. Beyond this I do not wish to generalise further.

Have a nice day everyone. Just remember that your special person could come from anywhere in the world so don't worry about the rest.

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]

Can we end this thread please as it’s getting me down big time. I have worked in both countries over an extended period of time. Not once in either country was I approached to ‘take me out of here darlink’ by beautiful women whose husbands/boy friends were drunks, serial abusers, adulterers etc. Having read this thread again it would appear that my age and ugliness must be terminal , hence I am very depressed.

IMHO women in both countries are charming, well educated (on the whole) and not as desperate as some of the idiots posting here would have us believe (how many of them have ever been to Russia?) . There are good and bad people in both countries as there are in every country in the world.

I am now going away to put a paper bag over my head and lie down in a darkened room. :)

It's not even 5.30 in Poland yet Mr G. You are in danger of reinforcing some messages from another thread. Oh what the hell, have another one on me

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]

Not all people in the Uk are bastards

Ahh. Your soft side is showing. Personally, I believe my life is enriched by knowing that at least a tiny fraction of my country were actually born in wedlock and that fact is recognised by you.

Life / Mothers day in Poland [19]

For the first time ever I deliberately didn't pester the boys to remind them about Mother's Day. The eldest one sent flowers via teleflora from Canada, the middle one sent a card and some music from Uni and followed it up with a call once he got up from his St Pat's Day revelries and the youngest one made breakfast in bed for his Mum. I was dumbfounded but very proud of them.

No doubt the begging letters will follow but for now, good on 'em.

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

The starbucks is comming to Poland soon.

Is it just me or do Starbucks market the only coffee free coffee in the world. You need the giant 10 litre bucket of Latte just to get one shot.

But than again while in the UK I was missing paprika flavored crisps.

We've got them. Yummy they are too

Language / Is it too late for me to learn Polish..? [65]

Not for me.... there's this 2000 year old Italian girl I'm interested in....

On the original topic it is never too late to learn any new skill in life. I was skiing with a 75 year old bloke this year. His first try at it. The time you stop learning is the time you start decaying.

Language / Is it too late for me to learn Polish..? [65]

here you've got a classification of languages based on the difficulty of learning by an English speaking student

Yeh, thanks Glowa. Cantonese is out for me then judging by my attempts to learn Polish !

Love / Fell in love with a Polish girl, but find it difficult to approach her [620]

If they can get women,you can get as well.I do not underestimate them,nor do I make racist comments.

Then I suggest you take the time to frame your comments better the first time around because the way it read it was racist. Full stop. If you had taken the time to explain yourself in the manner of your last post it would not have been interpreted in the way it was. Simple really.
