News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

everyone is lying except her
she is on the same telepathic wavelength as the US embassy and it is all nonsense because she is special

like the reports on the radio zet websites about fighting on Nowy Swiat at the moment

It is all starting to kick off and it looking nasty


I hope you won't forget to thank the Polish tax payers when you try to claim unemployment benefit you are not entitled to when you have a two year holiday in Poland.

Your knowledge of Polish history is very basic at best. I am sure your knowledge of the welfare system is far better
stick to what you are best at

happy lounging

Hi Jones, you have got nothing to worry about then. But make sure you speak to your embassy and get confirmation from Polish immigration (which will not be easy) that you can really work up to 20 hours per week before parting with any money. then you will have the problem of finding a job, which will not be easy.

You need to budget to see if you can afford a two year course with rent, food, travel, entertainment, study fees, books, etc WITHOUT getting a job in Poland. If the number still stack up go for it. If then you do find a job, it is a bonus. There is an Indian community in Warsaw, they live around the airport and

have import export businesses.
I have this nagging suspicion that something is not right with this school as it cannot be this easy. Please come back to the site and keep us updated as to how you get on

not that I would suggest going anywhere near this teaching establishment

News / Polish Independence Day-Beware? [59]

I was surprised that the Poles banned a Finnish member of Blood and Honour from coming to Poland and holding events.
It is a good sign

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

my dear Sir,

it is with great sadness that I must write to tell you that I think you have answered your own question

the school has clearly lied to you because they need money
it will be impossible for you to find a well paid legal job in Warsaw within three months

if they have to lie to get students it means that it is a very bad school

if you have other options please take them but you cannot trust the school

perhaps European students can find part time work but Indian students cannot work legally in Poland
without a work permit

I am sorry

Blood and Honour are taking to the streets in Warsaw to protest about Jews, gays, blacks, Vietnamese, lack of jobs

might be an idea to steer clear if you are non-White or feel like celebrating Independence Day in drag

Study / Information Needed: Skarbek University, Warsaw. [57]

according to their website

Skarbek University (SU) in Warsaw, Poland (Wyższa Szkoła Handlu i Finansów Międzynarodowych) is one of the leading Polish private university founded in 1995.

In 2007 one of the biggest Polish magazines 'Wprost' placed our University on the 2nd position among more than 100 private business universities in Poland and magazine 'Polityka' put us on the 3rd place. Skarbek educates students from different parts of the world, Bangladesh, China, Gambia, Germany, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, Tunisia, Vietnam, Italy, Spain, and much more.

Skarbek University offers full programme of studies in English language of instruction. The University provides Bachelor Study in Management (BBA, BSc) and Master Study in Economics (MBA, MSc).

su.edu.pl

what you have to bear in mind is that the private universities are struggling and have been ever since national conscription was abolished as university education meant that you were exempt from serving in the army

having checked out their website most articles are from 2007

I do not know the university however if they are telling you that you can get a great job working part time to finance your university education then they are lying and you should find another university. It is not as bad as the Ukranian universities which advertise that Ukraine is an EU country however if they have lied about your job prospects then they have lied about how good their course is

so a question to you

did the Skarbek University tell you that you could find a well paid job in Poland whilst studying?

History / Pole, Hungarian, two good friends [58]

they are indeed, very attractive people.
I believe that they were prone to committing suicide

A quick check on wikipedia does indeed confirm that they are still partial to 'rolling a seven'
ranked number 9 in the world for suicide

Lithuania being the undisputed heavyweight champions of self slaughter, which was surprising

I thought suicide in Sweden was more or less a national sport but there they are in 18th place

check out the link, it is interesting

He died and she was left without any pension at all

with the greatest respect that has not stopped Polish people consuming bananas and pineapple

there must be a reason why this great root vegetable is not grown in Poland

@alfred
I do not remember seeing any references to rhubarb crumble and as a result I feel that
the entire thread has been weaker as a result so I must thank you for turning the spotlight
onto rhubarb crumble

'big prawns dipped in batter and fried to buggery taste better in Scotland because.......'

is it because the Scots use languostine or Dublin Bay prawns or Norway lobster tails?

@ Pawian
Haggis with mashed potato and neeps (which is a turnip like vegetable called swede) is truly excellent
I cannot understand why Poles do not grow swede. It is an excellent root vegetable
there must be a reason for this as Poles grow most things that grow in the UK
come to think of it swede is the only UK vegetable that they do not grow in Poland
then again I have not seen too many brussel sprouts over here
I know you can get them though

UK, Ireland / What do you like about living in Britain? [134]

I like sausages and I like yorkshire pudding
however the combination of the two I find utterly inedible

some poor half cremated sausage surrounded by yards of yorkshire

I am sure yours is very nice but at our house toad in the hell night was not

I was out shopping once in January and is was bastard cold and there
was a woman with a toddler in a stroller who was barefoot

UK, Ireland / What do you like about living in Britain? [134]

I am serious about the pickled eggs though
years later they are banging on about them

and they are utterly revolting

no one orders them so they have probably been in the jar for years

I had one once and suffered from the worst indigestion of my entire life

but still they are not as bad as toad in the hole, that really is nasty
