So, please cut the crap and start lightening up

Sorry, Seanus. You're right have a fun ;-)

I will have fun, or maybe a fun time :)

You seem like a cool guy Marqoz, keep up the posting :) This thread is intended as a wind-up but, in real life (where it matters), I don't dig but see the glass as half full.

That's your pre-menstrual anxiety. (PMA)

Some might say ;)

you think Rambo or Rocky are the latest movies on the market. Oh, and Transformers too.

you talk about part 1 of Lord of the Rings when everyone else has finished talking about the third.

Just kidding!! Poland is actually ahead of Japan in this respect. America is usually first but I was shocked to see that Egyptian cinemas will air Salt before anyone else.

Seanus you well know that everyone in Poland will have downloaded most films before they are released. ;)

When you were a kid your family outing, was usually to a place without an admission cost.
Prime examples: Trips to the park, beach, church, visiting relatives (plenty of free food at other family member's homes!)

I'm Polish and it REALLY annoys me when people say "Polish" like "polish". Unfortunately many Polish people do it... :-(

I have never, ever in Europe or the US heard someone say it that way.

you walk into a shop and ask the shop assistant 3 questions whilst she is already serving sb.

What is that about? They think they don't need to wait behind everyone else. I usually interrupted them and told them where the end of the line was. Often I was dismissed with a "I just have a question"....to which I replied "yeah so does everyone else including myself...and we have been waiting for 30min". They still didn't get it.

Worse yet is the assistants/clerks whoever HELPS them...rather than pointing them to the end of the line.

Yeah, I need a resident Pole to explain that one to me as it tends not to work that way in Scotland. Some old folk here think the sun shines out of their arse. Bloody peasants!

I was in a post office line once when the assistant was obviously a trainee and was doing her (very slow) best, whilst a superior was screaming at her (but not helping). We'd been in the queue well over 30 minutes (and it wasn't a long queue). Some guy went straight to the front, with a coccky grin. The guy being served blocked him, I dived in for my turn and blocked him... and then gave him a look which said he was a brave guiy if he was going to try it. The glares of pure malevolence from the rest of the queue may have deterred him (of course, nobody said anything).

you dress like Kenny from South Park and make about as much sense as him ;) ;) ;)

you look like you believe the 2012 Doomsday nonsense ;) ;)

you are competing for the position of Polish princess, even though such a vacancy doesn't exist ;) ;) ;) Sorry, too many applicants for that one!

you believe too much in your own convictions and rarely compromise. I've had to set students straight when I knew they were wrong.

you prepare some amazingly good food (my mother-in-law). The bigos she made was heavenly!!!!

you use respect language without really respecting the person you are speaking to. When I use it, I mean it.

Of course, all of the above can be challenged with the 'some do, some don't' or 'some can, some can't' etc etc. If I were to take that to extremes, I'd never write anything unless on a factual thread. (thinks maybe that would be a good thing) ;) ;)

What do you mean by "competing"? This is positively vexing!!!

Am I still Polish, if I only deny a part of it???

It's all a laugh.

I know Poles who have a GSOH. They are true gems!

Outline some virtues and you'll see that quite a few Poles have them.

They can help you when you need.

Geez, folk here must think I'm getting a BJ to write such favourable comments ;) ;)

Maybe Seanus thought it was a ... tongue... in cheek comment.

I'm blowed if I know what's going on in his head.

I try telling Polish women that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but they just blow me off. At which point I just say 'you suck'. Ach, I pull their leg and then they keep pulling mine ;)

you think saying kurwa repeatedly is somehow funny (some of the younger generation I mean).

you call yourself a Catholic but know not what it means.

Having lived in Glasgow and Belfast, I don't think that's a solely Polish thing.

Oh, I agree. It applies in the West but South Americans seem to be able to justify their faith.

... if you think a 30 zloty bottle of whisky from Biedronka is actually worth drinking!

... you think mending each individual pothole, rather than just resurfacing the whole road, is actually a more economic proposal.
