There providing materials i am just doing the labour the rooms are various sizes very large ' The rooms are high ceilings ' about 6 mtrs by 6 mtrs then another room 6 mtrs by 10 mtrs square 'walls need filling 'sealing then 2 coats of dulux ' its for a family member but i am doing him a favour ' just want some idea of what kind of price a painter charges here in Poland as i work for far more money in the uk obviously ' day rate that is '

also have some other jobs to do for him ' fitting wall to wall shelfs ' he will again provide materials i will provide my own tools as i have my own tools ,Thanks for the reply . I have worked in the uk on price work ' an i am a professional builder quality finnish 'but this is my first bit of work in poland . more to come i have no doubt as he hade a polish guy refit a toilet that took 3 weeks size was 1 meter by 1 meter square ' re plasterboard walls an tile a floor ' how it took him 3 weeks is beyond me as all pipe work is surface ' real low quality workmanship .

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

Looking sharp an wearing nice respectable clothes is fine nothing wrong in respecting yourself, if u have the money in fact it's not about money it's about being yourself but dressing cheaply with a ton of makeup hardly makes a good wife nor would u marry someone who i class as an attention ***** u would be treated as a piece of meat' honestly it just mkes me smile when i see some young girl or middle aged woman dressing for attention it's very shallow an a little sad 'it makes me smile as i have traveld an met some truly naturaly beautiful woman who are not on ego trips an don't spend all there time in the mirror if there are any honest men on here they will tell u most men go for eye candy but real men look a little deeper maybe it,s about maturity i certainly am not impressed by attention *****s they just make me smile and i belive there just letting themselfs down .

something else that makes me laugh winter in Poland an orange woman ' i cried laughing the other day when i walking down the street with my partner and saw 3 girls who obviously spend way to much time in solariums getting that sun tan ' hello it's winter' made me smile they looked freekish with there orange face ..

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

@ Wayman - I cannot go into an office building without seeing women wearing makeup. It's not tons and tons of makeup, but enough to know they are wearing it.

Sadly if they was as naturaly beautiful as they are they would not need to plaster it on ' and if they belive a real man enjoys looking at a woman with a ton of war paint on then sadly they need to try an find man who would love them for being them self not someone who is fake ' trust me i have dated an being a man i have dated girls when i was younger who love to slap on the makeup ' but there is nothing worse than waking up next to a woman who u hardly recognise without makeup ' it's fake not natural .

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

If u read my post u will read that i am not saying make up is a bad thing but over plastering your face makes u look cheap that's just my opinion an if someone will only employ u if u slap a ton of makeup on then i think i would rather not work for that person not unless u enjoy having the boss chase u around as his bit on the side ...

Natural beauty at it's best ' Why overdose on all the make up an silly boots ' maybe for some
it's about eye candy but why is it there more attractive some are the more they slap the make up on and dress like something on sale at a meat market no disrespect to those stunning polish woman 'lay off the make up ' some men just go for eye candy ' for sure my wife is a natural polish beauty ' she wears a small amount of make up but she would never dress like she is a cheap tart ' it makes me smile when i see some polish girls trying there best to impress ' just a tip from a man who has been halfway around the world an seen some truly natural beauties 'Lay off the make up an ego trip 'men will only chase u to get into your knickers ' most men with brains look a little deeper ' .

UK, Ireland / UK Sky TV in Poland [39]

If anyone could PM me any details or recommendations of a dish installer in Krakow came across this dish' cheap as chips ' not certain it would work so any advice is a must ' 100 ponds for a 180 dish

maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=47165

Could anyone give me any advice on a fitter i would like to watch sky in krakow have a UK account set up '

Another thing i looked into was the Cable u need it appears it can be quite costly '

Kabel Digiality Cu PE czarny 1m cena : 3.50 PLN thats not cheap

So how about SLX PF100 Digital TV/Satellite Cable Black 100 mtrs Only £51.28 as i have to mount mine on the roof cable will not be cheap .

Seems Sky did sell a freesat card 'not shure if they still do but i do no
that they have a new freesat box from sky out ' From what i have been reading it cheaper to buy a large dish here an just set up an account with sky 'then ship the lot to Poland ' i am off to move soon in the next few months with are new born baby ' going to live in Krakow ' looked into freesat but i have yet to here or read of anyone who is on one in Poland krakow with a larger dish ' i can get hold of a old sky box the pace one as my neighbour has an old one she said i can have ' my only issue is a card for freesat and how to obtain it for the box ' think the sky way is the best way but set it up in the uk then get a bigger dish ' have a friend who has done the same but with polsat

Life / Polish people and Politeness [84]

Manners cost nothing' nothing wrong in being polite '

as the man said above good an bad in every nation some have manners some are dame rude .

I've found Poles in public to have one of the most self-centred attitudes imaginable; thoughtless, impolite to the point of rude, and completely unwilling to help others.

Funny u should say that as i work with a mixed bunch of guys it,s mad it's like us an them they stay in there own little group speak polish only speak english to u if they whant something from u 'one on one they are polite at times but it's just funny that your remark is spot on ' makes me smile the way i see them behave 'bit childish to say the least .

Trust me dtaylor Not everyone has an easy upbringing as a child and mine is not like most children that grow up with there mumy an dady ,

As for the area i live The young polish guy who got knifed an killed recently is 15 minutes from my home '

As for my knife wounds it was all about growing up 'if your in street fights from the age of 9 then your going to get shot or stabbed sooner or later i was lucky 'it was a lesson to

go with a long list of lessons but i was very young back then .

Living poland no i have never lived in Poland ' But i have been halway around the globe to some real **** hole places where poverty is like something u may have never seen ' Middle east' asia' india

I don't exspect it to be all modern an by far the food is much better unless your living on that fine polish bacon .

Your clueless so your advice an input mean very little just as your insults as for insecurity i am not the one taking digs on the internet on someone who asked a valid question about the birth of there child 'so before u prepare for your next little line of insults ' bear this in mind not everyone on the web is a scared of confrontation or a little abuse ' after all i am English so i can be rather rude aswel but i belive that's just showing how English u are witch is another reason for not educating my child around muppets like yourself '

Quote then u have to worry if there going to get mugged or maybe stabbed
Grow up, if u are that insecure then do something about it.

Love a smart arse ' Fella i spent a great many years ducking an fighting my way in life an i have the scars an stab holes from two knife wounds ' one in the face an one in the back so maybe u can educate myself about knife crime in London as u no a lot more than i do an obviously your an expert muggings an stabbings .

As for the food enjoy what floats your boat 'seen an read more than enough to educate myself about food production an demand for a product .

Thanks again for your input delphiandomine

seems there is some valid points about what u have posted witch is why i posted to seek advice so i apreciate the positive input from the polish members as u have lived there all your life an understand first hand what its like to be educated in Poland hade no idea about the cheating knew about the issue of books '

Hmm. The Polish countryside is the last place I'd want to bring up my kids. Even Krakow would be a struggle.

Have u been to London recently 'it,s overcrowded as are most schools 'the food is dire obesity is rife in children as young as 10 as all there parents have time to feed them is fast food that is mass produced from livestock that is full of god knows what ' then u have to worry if there going to get mugged or maybe stabbed on there way back from school as for stimulating a child its down to the parent ' a child can learn if u have the patients to teach them an praise them as they grow ' are child will obviosuly grow up speaking english and polish witch me an the mother will teach her as for aspirations if u give the chance an praise 'a child can suprise u 'on the other side Education costs 'u say the schools are old maybe the old way is sometimes better than the new ' Seeing english children grow up u would understand the greed an whant an the fact that u take everything for granted ' i wish to bring my baby up with strong morals unlike most children here '

The cost of the education i understand u pay ' I have a bit of luck as the family is in the book buisness so i get a good discount .

Its not that kind of countryside delphiandomine :)

Just outside Krakow on the outskirts ' Close to schools an lots of fresh air .

Im not that wealthy in fact i could be a lot more wealthy if i stay in England an continue to work here but i have been out to Poland an liked Krakow it,s a beautiful old city ' Money is not everything when i leave i give up a lot but a gain a lot in return in the long run as for flashing wealth Wroclaw that's one thing i hate about people 'it's very shallow yes i have my creature comforts but not a bling bling car it,s just not me .
