Life / Polish Dance/Techno music [49]


This is worrying... we might even have been to some of the same nights back then! Preferred Konspiracy over the Hacienda at the time, though... but looking back, I prefer the kind of tunes they played at the Hac these days, lol. It all died a bit for me around 1991-92 (except for early jungle/d&b) but by 1994 I was in London anyway, then UK Garage got me back into it all in about 1996-97, but that's the club scene for you, nothing good lasts for ever... omg if you knew how many clubs I've been to over the years... haha :)


Man Alive, Hacienda, Konspiracy, Manchester; Kool Kat, Nottingham; Kaos/Orbit, Leeds; Bibbys, Bradford; Slammin' Vinyl, Raindance, Helter Skelter, Labrynth, One Nation, Roast, Dreamscape, Movement, Twice As Nice, Cookies & Cream, Garage Nation, Eskimo Dance, DMZ, London/south east; I could go on all night haha.... 20 years of raving (lol) and I'm still here! Just! haha :)

Tell her you prefer English women, because they're better in bed and have bigger behinds :D

Law / Returning items for Refund/Credit Note - Specifically IKEA [8]

I can't remember the maximum days post-purchase, but my ex bought some stuff from there, and after we split up, I took the boxes back and got a refund for her.

That was about 4 weeks after purchase. It's usually 28-45 days with most stores, and they give a full refund if the item is unopened/unused.

Love / Strange definition of "sexy hair" by Polish women [5]


That's nothing! That was the 1980s... when even men had hair which was bigger than hers was:



:D

Life / Warsaw public transport is not so bad at all [14]


I wonder how many more decades it will take to build a second line; by which time, many Asian cities will be refurbishing their recently-built multi-line networks ;)

USA, Canada / Pierogi Palace of Pennsylvania? [7]


I wonder how long it will be until Poland is full of takeaways with names like "Klopsik Król" :D

Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]

I don't know why we can't all just accept that, although we have undeniable differences, we really can't do without each other.

Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]


Yeah, but you can do those as well, I believe ;) :D

I suppose that's what people mean by "The American way", lol :D

Law / Marketing graduate from Pakistan - any way to study and live in Poland? [11]

It's "hilarious" just how many Pakistanis, Africans, Arabs and Indians have suddenly developed an "interest" in Poland and Polish culture, isn't it? :D

Love / Polish men what is the worst thing a girl can do upon first impression? [360]


I guess not :) lol


That's only because women only buy themselves basic power tools, but we just have to have one with turbo-charged super-extreme reversible hammer action, lol :D

To be honest, if I didn't speak the language, I wouldn't even have thought of going there!

Law / Motorcycle Polish drivers license? [37]

To be honest, I can't see what good a "Polish driving test" does for anyone.

Sample questions and answers from several driving tests:

1. When approaching a roundabout, what do you do?

(a) Slow down and stop at the line
(b) Keep driving at your current speed and don't stop
(c) Turn up the Disco Polo CD, put your foot down, open the window and hurl expletives beginning with "K" and "P" at anyone blocking your way.

2. Before overtaking, do you:

(a) Indicate, then wait for a clear road
(b) Sound your horn, wave your fist and put your foot down
(c) Turn up the Disco Polo CD, put your foot down, open the window and hurl expletives beginning with "K" and "P" at anyone blocking your way.

3. If you see a temporary speed restriction sign, do you:

(a) Slow down and keep to the speed limit
(b) Sound your horn and keep driving at your current speed
(c) Turn up the Disco Polo CD, put your foot down, open the window and hurl expletives beginning with "K" and "P" at anyone blocking your way.

Answers:

Mostly "A"s - Congratulations! You have just received your UK driver's licence!

Mostly "B"s - Congratulations! You have just received your Private Hire licence!

Mostly "C"s - Congratulations! You have just received your Polish driver's licence! Your blachara will be SO proud! :)

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


And this from someone with a name like "Skrymcz"! Which means what, exactly? Oh, I know; it obviously means "you're too dumb to realise that 'Amathyst' may have been spelled like that deliberately" - and it's not even her "name" anyway :)


It's not often I agree with you, but despite all the claims of how "racist" and "intolerant" British people are, the UK is actually one of the most tolerant nations in the world, and that is a fact. What that says about "tolerance" in general is another matter, though.

Whereas Poles are far from tolerant of people they do not like.

Before the PC police decide to lay into me for saying this, this is an opinion, not something I'm hoping for - capiche?

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


My recent experience of recent Polish immigrants suggests that anyone who "isn't like us Poles" must be gay - including me!

Well, from what I've gathered from their insults towards so-called "gays" (as defined by boneheaded, smelly, badly-dressed, hard-drinking and chain-smoking uneducated Polish idiots), having a bath every day, not smelling of tobacco and Tyskie, and actually making an effort to dress in non-market clothes makes men into a battyboy - in which case, I must be! haha ;)

Except I'm not, of course. Gay or homophobic, that is. And these pricks still can't understand why many of their women are sick of them. Who wants to go out with a twat who stinks and can't even make an effort to put some decent clothes on, because "that's what all these gay English do"? f*** 'em!

Yet the funniest thing is: most of these pricks look more like someone who would hang around Canal Street than I ever will! :D

But you know how it is - the biggest homophobes are usually hiding a little "secret", aren't they ;)

Something tells me you're talking about the dibble, and "free accommodation" actually means a night in a cell :D

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


When I read this forum, I often wonder why I'm not still a virgin who has never had a girlfriend, because there's no way I can match up to these guys who earn enough to "maintain" a Polish woman (or indeed any other woman) at 400 Euro a month, plus everything else, like an expensive car which is "fit to carry a Polish woman in", etc.

But then I pinch myself, and realise that the real world isn't quite as fake as southern's world is, and I've actually done quite well with the ladies over the years. And no-one's ever asked me to pimp them either :p :D

Travel / Why do people say that Poland is so unsafe? [60]


I don't think I've ever lived in a low-crime city in my life. I got bottled in Nottingham when I was seven. Seven, ffs!!!!! :0

Do low-crime cities even exist in the UK these days?

Oh, and more to the point... I wonder how many people get shot or "shanked" for "disrespect" (lmao) in Poland every day...

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]


Oh, that explains it - because I actually have relationships with women (unlike southern) I get more for my money (which wasn't anywhere near 400 Euro a month, lol).

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

Which makes you as racist as they are, troll!

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]


There's no reason for most British people to follow that path, either. Very few people alive today could be blamed for any involvement in black slavery, and especially not those of us born here of of Polish origin.

Google "Polish involvement black slavery" and see what you find - nothing. Change "Polish" to certain other search terms, and you'll find an encyclopaedia full of links. Unfortunately, those links will include "English", but it's all a long time ago now, and reparations have been paid by Western countries, in the form of billions of pounds of aid, etc. But I'm still waiting for apologies and reparations from Arabs who enslaved blacks when the English were still living in houses made with wattle and daub :)

Besides, the UK wasn't built on black slavery to anywhere near the extent that the USA was; most UK blacks were asked to come here to work after WWII, not brought here as free labour several centuries ago.

It is true that many American blacks may have worked as slaves in the American cotton fields, at the same time as hundreds of thousands of white Britons were forced into working 15 hours a day/six days a week in Lancashire's cotton mills. Yet these British barely had enough to live on, despite the hours, and were abused, assaulted or punished severely for non-compliance. At the same time, Bradford's woolcombers were working similar hours, in even worse conditions, for similar rates of pay, and had an average life expectancy of eighteen years old! If that isn't also slavery, if not legalised genocide, I don't know what is.

This went on for two centuries before any significant Black or South Asian immigration began. But there are no "reparations" for the families of those British workers, and never will be. And no-one can seriously claim these mill workers "profited" from this trade, whether that trade was driven by the produce of black cotton-picking slaves, or not - only a tiny minority of rich, powerful people profited, and their descendants are probably still the only ones profiting from the former slave trade.

Poland wasn't involved in black slavery, and owes Africa nothing. It is only a corrupt EU agenda which is forcing them to feel guilty and making them accept Africans. Maybe someone would like to explain why "multiculturalism" is only being imposed on European countries? I don't see much "enriching" or "diversity" in most Asian or African countries.

I thought southern measured his wealth in the number of Slavic prostitutes he can afford :D

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]


The American Government, maybe.

I haven't met enough Americans to say if I hate them or not.

Not keen on a lot of the social/cultural aspects of the USA, but even I have to admit that a lot of great things have come out of the USA.


In the 1980s (say, up to about 1986-87), I would have said that the best music was from Manchester, New York, Chicago, and some from Detroit - an obvious US bias. But from about 1987 onwards, only London and Manchester really mattered (although Belgium/NL was also significant around 1990-92).

Although Manchester lost its way a bit in the 1990s, I never really bothered with American music after about 1991-92 (except for a brief rap-metal/hardcore phase in the mid-1990s).


Personal preference, isn't it - I love English music.

But Polish music... now that's another matter altogether! lol!

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]


I can't even remember the last American music I bought. Probably the second Machine Head or Deftones albums. That must have been in about 1997-98, I think. They both went crap fairly soon after that.

Love / Love without chemistry? (Asian in love with a Polish woman) [195]


Does that include those of us who don't cheat? lol

Language / Difference between Polska & Polsce? [26]


he (the OP) is thinking in English, which doesn't work in Polish ;)

a few examples:

Poland, the nation: Polska
In Poland: w Polsce
From Poland: z Polski
Of Poland/Polish: Polskie
About something Polish: o polskich/polskim
To Poland: do Polski
Beyond Poland: poza Polską

Still think those skinny Polish women are worth it?? ;) :D


I may be exceptional, but I find Chinese characters far easier to remember than Chinese pronunciation. All I can remember is "xiexie" and that's not much use in Hong Kong lol

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]


Does the rule that "a Muslim man may marry a Christian or a Jew, but a Muslim woman may only marry a Muslim" ring any bells? Show me a local Muslim woman who was allowed to marry a partner who agreed to convert to Islam - in the North, a non-Muslim man hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of even being given that option! It's always the other way round - and you know why that is.


When they are the majority, you may not have a choice but to give something up - look up jizyah and you may find that the only choice you have is to either convert, or to pay the extra tax - some "choice" that is!


To be fair, those Polish foods are much closer to English dumplings, lard and tinned "Spam" than they are to Indian food! Mind you, I like all three (English, Polish and Indian food, that is!)
