Just curious. Not having siggy's makes it hard to keep people staight or to know much about anyone.

I am here. I am American and married to a Pole. We live in Lomza.

Luckily or not I managed to escape Poland just over a year ago after serving a 7 year sentence there. Miss it and can't wait to get back though :)

I have been allowed out a few times for family visits, but always with an escort and photos were taken to prove my whereabouts.

What, you drink yourself silly in the morning before arriving on a flight, like a certain President? ;)

I'm in Poland, in Poznań too. I love terrible bars AND I've just discovered the best thing ever - a pub with a bookies inside!

Not from Luton, mate. Don't touch anything there, especially the beer glasses. You don't know where it's been.

fortunately not. but one is required to have on ones person a bottle of belvedere vodka or equivalent. this is handed over when one signs in to ones temporary accommodation. upon re-entry to Poland one must show branston pickle or any heinz product.

You must have committed a very serious crime, otherwise you could get away with some lemon custard :)

Too much temptation. Where dat?

Tell you what, let's set up a trading book where we fleece all those poor sods next year who think England are going to get past the quarter finals and not go out on penalties. Patriotism (especially, though not only in the sporting arena) makes suckers out of men...

It's the place called U Franklina about 10m away from Most Teatralny - if you're driving along Roosevelta from Solacz, it's just before the traffic lights on the right hand side.

Truly strange place - we were drinking in there last night after midnight. Things only got better when we discovered a small "disco" room, complete with disco ball and strange lights!

Can we have a side book on when the "St Georges Cross BANNED" story will appear in the Mail in relation to the Championships?

... and the inevitable impact of this act of cultural denial on house prices in the Home Counties.

Yep, sure.

I can confirm Delph's love of finding the most shocking bars in Poznan.... the one with pûrn mags was my favorite!

In regards to the theme of the thread, I'm currently finishing my second year in Poland, Bielsko-Biała to be precise :)

Getting married in here next year so it would seem I'm in for the long run :)

I don't.

I live just right off the US coast in the Atlantic Ocean with a bunch of stuck up tuna fish.

Rough Polish translation:

Ja mieszkam w Hameryce z rybami w Oceanie które zawsze mają się lepiej.

Edit:

married to a Pole.

like a dancing pole? I hope you don’t tell that to anyone outside of this forum, anyway, I'm so proud of you for having the guts to tell us about it.

Ha! After some of his nights out with the guys I wish it was a dancing pole I was married too!

I was told yesterday about a bar with devil breasts, whatever that involves :D

And yes, I'm in Poznań too. And I like it.

No wonder the Admin said in in another thread that most posts come from Poland. Phew! Foreigners living in Poland...why is it? Is Poland for you now like America for Poles is (was)? hehehe.

why is it?

Work, spouse, lover or just preference. Plus the fact that Warsaw is a nice place to live. The provinces aren't bad either.

I was there for 11 years with hardly a break until a couple of months ago, and am going back in a month - it's home now.
