Travel / Anyone here use/used Ryanair? Flying from/to Poland [31]

If so, what do you think of the attitude of that grumpy little sjw Michael O'Leary? Sounds to me he has a small trouser department and a massive ego, which is typical of businessmen in the western world these days.

Seriously though, it's rather silly for him to have constant tantrums over Brexit these days. He should try and be a real man for once and treat his employees like human beings, and actually improve his airline services if he wants his airline company to be taken serious.

Well, I can only hope that he won't be "grounding" his planes before my flight from Newcastle to Wroclaw for a small holiday, otherwise consider his airline service over.

and no, I am NOT "changing my mind" for the sake of him and his political views... he can go and f*k himself.

UK, Ireland / Delivering homemade wine (75cl bottle) from UK to Poland - best option? [4]

Checked baggage would obviously allow it, but I'm not taking checked baggage on this particular trip ... just cabin baggage. I don't wish to mess about with my current flight booking, especially that it's Ryanair as well. ;P

So, I guess it's not possible then. Ah well, no harm done - it isn't extremely important.

UK, Ireland / Delivering homemade wine (75cl bottle) from UK to Poland - best option? [4]

Hi everyone.

Last year I made my own red wine (about 12%) and which I want to share a 75cl bottle of it with my friend in Poland when I go to see her in a couple of months time.

Are there any restrictions on using a courier / delivery service when shipping alcohol, or it is flat-out illegal? What is the best solution to do this?

Ideally I would like to deliver my bottle to the guest apartment I will be staying at.

Thanks.

Travel / Places to see in Lower Silesia region (between Wroclaw and Czech border) ... suggestions? [6]

Hi everyone.

In April I am visiting Wroclaw, Poland for a few days (from England) and to see my friend that I've got to know recently. Me and her have made plans on various days, but on one of the days I would like to go and see somewhere between the south of Wroclaw and the Czech border (within Lower Silseia region) Can anyone recommended a place/attraction to visit in that area? A natural place in the countryside would be preferred.

I looked up a place called "Králický Sněžník", which is just off the Czech border ... is that worth seeing for the day?

Thank you in advance. :)

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

@cms "Brexit - an idiotic idea, voted for by idiots"

Proud to be an "idiot" to you cms. :) At least I'm not a snowflake like fine examples here:

Real Estate / Buying land to build on near Czestochowa [15]

@spiritus

I visited Czestochowa last week to meet up with my friend who lives there, and he took me out on a bike ride around a forest area just south of Zamek Olsztyn (I think it's between that and a place called Biskupice) ... he was telling me that the areas that have been logged (i.e. trees cut down) would eventually become land to buy and build homes on ... so I assume this is the place the OP is on about?

Very natural and beautiful place. Czestochowa is also a very nice town ... I've been there a few times now.

UK, Ireland / Are you able to hear the different English accents? [97]

Merged:

What other English accents do you understand well?



This has always been interesting to me because when I visited Poland for the first time and opened my mouth in English, only a very small amount of people I met could understand me. My accent is of County Durham / teesside area.... nothing like London at all.

I'm not offended that they misunderstand me... in fact I should make the effort to speak Londoner, southerner or American... but I would rather learn Polish instead. ;)

Anyway, what english accents / dialects have you Polish experienced in your time of meeting English people?

Love / Polish girls are outstanding in terms of their moral conducts as compared to western girls. [29]

I'm glad that this topic exists because this is how I have felt about western women for the past few years.

The last English girl I went out with was back in 2011, it turned out that she was a single mother who would rather be single and receive child benefit for extra money in her pocket (politely telling me to "**** off", basically). Since then, I have been a single man, with a good job, a mortgage and a relatively nice car that I fully own. ... I have no personal debt other than my mortgage.

But it's now coming to a point of time where I want to settle down with a woman and start a family together.

I have come to realise that women in the western world are turning away from men like myself. They either go full feminist types, or are thick as two planks who sleep around with "bad boys" that are in so much personal debt they are unashamed of it. It's why I never go to night clubs or bars.

I have even tried Speed Dating in my area, but the majority of women I meet there either don't know what they want, or think they are better and more professional than I am. I'm going to one again in a couple of weeks, but I won't be surprised that it will be the same types as last time.

Are Polish / Eastern European women like this as well? ... because as every year and month goes by, I feel like finding love in Eastern Europe instead. I'm already aware of the scammers / sham wedding types, but I have faith that not every woman in Poland is a gold digger or a massive feminist. What I love about Eastern European culture is that most of you still believe in traditional and family values, which is something I miss so much here in the western world. :( I am a man who wants to fall in with love a woman and have children, starting our own family... just like my mother & father and uncles & aunties did. What's wrong with that today?
