Work / Black English Teacher going to Wroclaw [247]


Lax immigration laws force change, its not like the indiginous Brits had a choice.


No it didnt, there are plenty of mixed raced kids in there 20s...maybe had you said 50 years ago..I might have agreed.

Maybe he's looking for opinions other than that of his wife and her family.

Love / Indian citizen wants to marry Polish Girl and get settled there. [107]


She's half Indian which would make her half English if in fact her mother is English..By virtue of being born in England does not make someone English (not having a go at Atosha, just pointing out a fact)..As for what we owe India, we owe them nothing, please look up the word "Independence" they gained this decades ago.


Really? Thats why you have a caste called the "untouchables"...


Please dont believe the hype - tier 1 / 4 visas are still readily available so are spousal / dependant visas..As for universities, most come and study micky mouse courses that they can pay for with the money they earn whilst working here (you think they stick to the 10 hours allowed?)..


Apply for a visa, there is a Polish consulate in Mubia and in New Delhi...google is your friend!

A lot are and so are Indians..


He doesnt actually want to come to England, he wants to set up home in Poland and have lots of kids and invite his family over to live :D

Life / The Polish Dream - move out from Poland as fast as possible [73]


We have an office in Warsaw, they have a graduate programme, I dont imagine they are the only company that do that kind of thing, so maybe people have to create opportunities for themselves, there are plenty of Poles that are doing just fine in Poland.


Instead he can waste his money and his time looking for work in the UK..Maybe direct him to some web pages explaining that the UK is going through its worst recession, possibly ever!


You just have to blame someone David! Have you ever heard of accountability?

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]


Isnt it strange as an English person I have never heard your version...But...

Cop or Copper
While commonly believed to be an acronym for Constable On Patrol, the term refers to "one who captures or snatches". This word first appeared in the early 18th century, and can be matched with the word "cap", which has the same meaning and whose etymology can be traced to the Latin word 'capere'. (The word retains this meaning in other contexts: teenagers "cop a feel" on a date, and they have also been known to "cop an attitude".)

But, I can see where you got your version from:

Variation: Copper. It is also believed that the term Copper was the original, unshortened word, popularly believed to represent the copper badges American officers used to wear at the time of origin, but in fact probably used in Britain to mean "someone who cops" long before this.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


And you showed you have no class because it took you several lines of insults to come to this? Am I supposed to be grateful because some random newbie thinks Im okay? Thats funny :D


I did Judo to blue belt - my fathers choice that I get some skills in this department, plus my uncle taught at the time...so from the age of 9 I was a ninja :) or not quite, but I had self-defence skills..which my brothers didnt hmmm :D


Actually my fav bar is on the castle side, just up a little side street, there's a church at the end of the road..my name must be on the walls a million times in there!

Orrr....I was waiting for the "its my party and I'll cry if I want to" line! You're such a girl arent you?


Then he should have screamed back, shock tactics are proven to work.


In all my life Ive never been in that situation, but Ive been careful where I go...I lived in a not so nice area and didnt go out after dark, where I live now I can go where ever I want when ever I want..


Rather a beer at U Vejvodů (its almost my local) but I wont eat those pretzels, I swear they've been there for as long as Ive been going in! (the same ones!)...


Personally Im not gonna tell you what I prefer ;0)

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Oh pleezzze...Europeans are (or at least the English) more reserved...We dont come at people screaming..God for bid we should we'd be so undignified whilst commiting such heinious acts, we're more sneakers than screamers...We leave dramics for the stage "darling"


Because of the tooth fairy? Thats a bit drastic..now do you see what I mean about gun owership? People feel they are slightly more enpowered and above the law than they should be...By the way what are you ideas on the tooth fairy? Real, not real?


Thank goodness for small mercies! About the gun ownership, not the amount of Yanks in my fav country :(


Then you are just adding to the problem


That's strange all men Ive dated get more exited the closer it gets to bed time!

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Crazy guy stabs you in the back or shoots you in the back..you have no chance...or just make that "random" move as you look on and you are not expecting..you have no chance...


I have the same argument year after year with my brothers about the tooth fairy, if they tell me one more time it was my parents putting cash under my pillow I may just try and get a gun!


5% too many if you ask me, but I did note that there are a lot of Americans living in CZ these days..are they counted if they are classed as citizens..Im not accusing, just asking?


Why? Ive been visiting for over 10 years and never felt threatened but I might now knowing you're walking about armed!


Nah...You know that your hardon will wilt if we do :D

Life / Vasectomy in Poland is illegal? Why? [123]


Oh dear, epic fail..

Why do people come on here and tell the world and his wife about their lives? For some strange kooky reason I dont feel the need to tell the forum when I have my period or when Im due a smear test, somethings are just too personal.

Why doesnt the OP just go back to India for his op, but I wouldnt imagine its that popular there judging by the size of the population! So he might have a hard time finding a surgeon!

UK, Ireland / Corned beef & Cabbage are typically Irish? [98]


The worst Ive ever seen!


Crumpets are more for breakfast and scones are for afternoon tea - both can be taken any time of the year...Where did you hear it was a seasonal thing?


Thats typically a British thing, it comes from India.


? WTF!

I could understand if you said Irish stew or spiced beef, but corned beef & cabbage?

Travel / My visit to Poland - Likes & Dislikes. [137]

As already stated here its generally best to get a few words under your belt before you travel anywhere if you intend to use public transport or to actually explore your surroundings and not just sit in the local bar getting smashed all day...

Ive been going to the Czech Republic for over 10 years and I have tavelled a bit round Western Bohemia, I've used all modes of public transport and eaten in every kind of establishment and never had a problem, simply because I can open my mouth and ask for a train ticket or a bus ticket or work out what the dishes are on the menu and if a problem arrises, a lot of gesticulating generally helps..

I honestly dont get what all the fuss is about, as Ive already said, travelling to another country with a different lauguage is a wonderful experience, if people made the effort before stepping off that plane then they'd enjoy it a whole lot more..I understand English is a popular lanauge, but we have to realise there are plenty out there that dont speak it and why the hell should they?

Now for my point on tourism, Krakow is geared up for it, English speaking guides and menus in English...bar staff that speak English...I had to go to a pharmacy whilst I was there and managed to get what I need even though the lady didnt speak English...I dont think Poland has to turn into some shyty tourist trap with guides who have fake American accents (I heard one in CZ a couple of years ago and decided not to take her tour, it would have been too painful!)..What they have IMO works already..Or at least it does for the Brits ;0)

Travel / My visit to Poland - Likes & Dislikes. [137]


Pots and Kettles sweetie pie..Learn to write and speak your own langauge properly before criticizing others.

Well Ive been 3 times and loved it..Apart from a few miserable shop assistants and a lazy bar staff I couldnt really say anything negative.


How could any one not..good weather, the best food ever and happy smiling people :D


Its not hard, its all part of the experience of travelling, if I wanted to hear English everywhere I'd go Margate for my holidays ;0)

Law / I'm from Nigeria, but want to be a Poland Citizen [44]

I always wanted a pink bike as a little kid (the yellow and the red never really satisfied my desire)..I fear I'd look a bit stupid now riding one of that colour so I'll settle for a baby Jag (not in pink though)


Why Poland?

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


LOL..You are too funny..


Yes, she Polish, she's also very pretty...


Some men are just naturally blessed - he looks like he works out (which is no bad thing)..it wasnt his body that I wasnt keen on, it was his face..but as I said..what one likes..doesnt naturally mean another likes..For ME, Irish men win hands down - Im English by the way so Im saying this as a preference not out of wierd patriotic reason...

My advice, go to Ireland spend a weekend there and come back and please tell me that you dont find the men there good looking..


She is naturally beautiful.

No, I dont think you got me..Munters should keep their mouths shut...


Neither are considered "mouses"

There are plenty of good looking women in the UK..But no matter what Eng, Scot, Welsh female I post, they'll be called low grade by you.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]


But you must be since you judged all those people on their looks..Surely to make such comments you must be much better looking than they are? If you're not, better to keep quiet.


There are plenty of beauties in the UK..If people chose to go along the stereotype that we're all fat and dont dress nicely then..that's up to them..

She's the double of Charlotte Church - she's Welsh BTW.. :)


Care to share your photo with the forum so we can make some judgements on you? Since you feel that you are so superior in looks you can judge others?

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]


Thats the one :D We never indulged..But saw plenty doing so...There's a bar in Manchester now called Tap that does it..but slightly more sophisticated:

You did it once, you'll do it again :D

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]


Went in there a few times but I was more on about that bar that sells the huge beers..more a bar than club to be honest..But my point was there are plenty of places not "just off" the main square that are toursty and are just fine..


I found the food round there so much superior (back in 2006) .The nicest little place was just on a little square...very light interior, very simple...but the food was...I have to say..(much as it pains me) better than anything Ive ever had in England and Ive eaten in some exclusive restaurants (obviously work have been paying at the time :D )...I had a card but must have chucked it..


Your time will come again sweetie pie :D

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]


There are plenty of bars that are "touristic" that are away from the main Rynek in Krakow...There's a great bar at the end of Grodzka which is a good 5 mins walk..had no problems...A few bars along the bottom of Florianska...again no problems..So I dont get your point..There are some brilliant bars in the Jewish district which is a considerable way from the main Rynek..but again no problems..

She came from my city, in a town not far from where I live, so she is uber important to me..(and to every women in Britain)...Ive read so much about her and her sisters and her daughers..quite a woman..


I know, I was just giving an example of what I was looking for (if you read my caption I thought I made this clear, sorry if I didnt), film stars are one thing but women who have done something to actually "contribute" is another..

How about women like this: (sorry to be picky)

or about the fact Poland got the womens vote in 1918 which was ahead of a fair few of the so called advanced countries in the "west" but hardly anything is published about their fight for the vote, certainly not in English....(Britain had a 2 stage which actually 3 stage!)..typical of the class system in place at the time.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage_in_the_United_Kingdom
