Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]

@WarSore, firstly, I'm not a liberal, I'm a centrist. Secondly, I don't recall telling you to get out of my country (even though I actually do want you out :)).


I can understand why Ukrainians have been coming to Poland though. Also, in many aspects moving to Poland was an "upgrade" for them. For you it's clearly a "downgrade."


What is that supposed to mean?


Why did you move out then?


Ah, so he's no Poland-hater, he's just a generalising, exaggerating, unfair, hysterical, trolling a$$hole - OK, I get it :)))

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


Yes, the same is with Paris. Which I enjoyed visiting greatly, even though it wasn't terribly clean :)


I'm not telling you anything, I'm just making an observation. You clearly hate Poland and everything about the country, including the people. You wrote yourself that you're here only for the EU passport. So I think it's fair to say that it's not "your place on the Earth", right? o_O

Btw, where did you grow up in the UK, if you don't mind me asking?


I'm just saying what I personally find interesting and appealing about New York. That city is the cultural centre of the US, so it's pretty obvious that someone like me would find it interesting.
That, and the cosmopolitan vibe :)

Why did you pick Poland of all places though?


Why not in the UK? Aren't you British?

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


Well, clearly the novelty wore off and the reality of living in the country set in. It sounds like it's time for you to move to another country, because Poland doesn't sound like "your place on Earth" lol


Maybe once you're already visiting the US anyway. New Orleans too, I guess. But there are so many more interesting places in the world (at least for me) - so those definitely wouldn't be high on my list for visiting. 🤔

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]

@Bobko, I'm not saying that this is the reason why Poles initially move to the UK. I'm saying what they notice once they're there.


Oh, I can imagine. I just don't understand why people living outside of New York would hate the most famous and interesting city in their country?


In my mind New York is the centre of art, fashion, etc. Many American movies were made there and I guess that made it a big tourist attraction.


Isn't there also a bit of jealousy at play though? Because sometimes I have an impression that some people in Poland suffer from some kind of "Warsaw jealousy syndrome". 🤔


How? Obviously Warsaw, New York and Moscow attract many more people from around the country than other cities, but I don't quite understand how the whole country "works" for those cities?

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


Mainly because they can earn more money in the West. As for the UK I also heard about less bureaucracy - it's easier to set up your own company, for example. I've never heard of Poles moving there because of "lower taxes" though. Or anywhere else in the Western Europe for that matter, I think. 🤔 For example, my relative moved to Germany to earn enough money to build a house in Poland. He built the house and moved back to Poland. I've never heard of Germany being some kind of "tax heaven".


Yeah, exactly.


Which one?


I think couchmigrant either doesn't realise or is forgetting what kind of place Poland, Warsaw and Poles are coming from. He could use some empathy and maybe basic knowledge about the history of the country he's living in currently. 🤨

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


You're getting it wrong here. From what I've noticed that's what mainly foreigners (usually from the West, but also from Ukraine, RuSSia, etc.) are saying who are visiting or living in Poland plus the Poles who live or lived in the West and are visiting. Majority of Poles never lived anywhere else and they have no comparison and the first they hear (often to their surprise) of "Poland being clean" is from people from "outside".


Sorry, but I'm getting some sort of cognitive dissonance here. So many people have been saying what a great city Warsaw has become, both foreigners and Poles living in Warsaw...
When you moved to Warsaw - was it such a "hole" too back then or has it become one only recently, according to you?



Why is that? Too cosmopolitan for their taste?

That's funny, because the only city that comes to my mind as worthy of visiting in the US is New York.

I think the only complaint I've heard about people from Warsaw was them being arrogant and rude/boorish. As for the city - the complaint was that it was ugly, but that has been changing with time. 🤔

Btw, I knew WarSore wouldn't go away lol This forum will be his life now ;D I'm afraid that "two Novichoks" will be too much for PF to handle though...

Guys, that's not what this thread is about. There are other threads for such discussions. Don't trash gjene's thread about his grandfather :/

Genealogy / Russian POW Camp records [71]


What do you mean?


If those records were destroyed during war in Poland then maybe some trace survived in London. Your grandfather was awarded that second medal in 1948. I'm thinking that the Polish government-in-exile in London had to have some kind of record of your grandfather's service in order to award that medal. 🤔


Try asking about that unit and your grandfather on that Polish forum about World War II I linked to.


Do you have your grandfather's birth certificate or baptism records?

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [445]

@Novichok, majority of women are sane, just like it is the case with men. You're not right in the head though :) Now forgive me, but I have better things to do than giving you my attention :)))

What's "manly" about eating fried kaszanka though? ;D

From an older thread:


Have you tried this route?

No, sorry, this medal isn't a communist one. On the contrary... It was awarded by the Polish government-in-exile in London:

@gjene, we're probably won't be able to help you here. The only thing that comes to my mind is maybe finding families of soldiers who were in your grandfather's unit - maybe they would know more.

There's a good Polish forum about World War II - maybe try asking there for any help with your search:

He got it in 1948, so it looks like it was the commie one. But why does it say "London"?

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]

@WarSore, that sounds exactly like you and Novichok lol Why do you behave like those Poles then?


Again, sounds like your head now... Go outside and touch some grass. There's no point in obsessing so much over comments on the internet.


Poles usually have no problem with saying why they left Poland for the UK. My best friend (Polish woman) currently lives and works in the UK with her fiancé (Polish guy). So why so mysterious? 🤔


Why, because I'm pointing out that you're exaggerating and being unfair? How inconvenient :)))


OMG, I remember how Brits were telling Poles on this forum that we're being "oversensitive" to criticism :D Poetic justice, heh...

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


I've also told you what I've seen. You think what you keep writing isn't "tiring and boring"?


I was taking breaks from this forum too for the same reason. I see you're all new to this lol


Why on Earth do you live in Poland at all?


Not entirely sincerely though judging by my look at the comments under that video about British food.

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


You see - you keep writing "only" despite the fact that I've proven you wrong many times already - I even posted videos as proof. You're sick in the head.

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


Just like you've been watching obscure videos on YouTube for too long? :)))


What can I say - hell hath no fury like a man scorned lol


The comments were written by real men, so how that would be "not valid"? I'm not going to look for those comments now - it's been some years ago, when Polish women were still a novelty for British men and there were more people on this forum.


Excuse me, sir, but there's a section of Polish men that also sh1t on Polish women in random places like news articles and such. There's also a section of British men (and Western men in general, actually) who sh1t on their own women. MAGA men from the US on this forum are a great example of that. So I have no idea why you think it's characteristic for Polish men only or that they sh1t only on British women.

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]


I didn't watch the video, but I've looked through the comments and, "surprise, surprise", you're exaggerating again. Comments under that video vary - there are negative ones, but there are also positive and neutral ones.


No, there are simply a lot of c*nts on the internet from different nationalities. Were you born yesterday? lol

Btw, you're a c*nt yourself, so again - pot kettle etc.


You don't seem to realise how long I've been on this forum, a$$hole. My experience is no less valid than yours.


...is what you're getting now, clearly :)))

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]

@Novichok, you said "only" plenty of times, liar.


It looks like you're too fragile for using internet ;D


Well, we've had enough sock puppets here to get paranoid indeed.


A few videos from what I've noticed. How is that a proof for your bold claim?


This forum is perfectly enough. This is where Brits living in Poland would come for years to complain about Poland and Poles and display their sense of superiority.


Do you know how mamy comments from British men about Polish women I had to read for years on this forum?

One could even say that what goes around comes around... Heh... Poetic justice, I guess.

UK, Ireland / Polish YouTuber weirdos trash-talking the UK [200]

@WarSore, well, you're behaving exactly like Novichok. At first I even thought you're Novichok's sock puppet...

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


That's your problem then. It didn't hit a nerve, I simply stated a fact. Do some cultural research, read a bit about it, travel more.


No, Poles don't leave because of taxes lol


No, it's just gave me some idea about your political views, I think :)


And in New York they're polite in comparison to some small town in the US? :)

Firstly, Poles don't do that all the time and all over the internet. Just stop watching those particular videos. Why are you obsessing over this so much?

And why are you even in Poland? o_O


Eh? I don't seek out such videos. But as I wrote already - we've had enough of Brits and other Westerners sh1t-talking about Poland, Poles and anything Polish on this forum for years. To the point that I lost most of my curiosity about what foreigners think about Poland, Poles, etc. and I wanted this forum to die a natural death. But at one point I've concluded for myself that they can all go f*ck themselves :)))


No, it doesn't - you provided no proof for this. You remind me of Novichok and his stupid lies that only women behave badly when getting arrested by the police - and he's basing his "observations" (lies) also on "over a hundred videos" he watched on YouTube lol

It's babka wielkanocna in Poland.

Didn't you have any other cakes though? Our mother, aunts and grandmas would bake all kinds of yummy cakes for Christmas and Easter.
