USA, Canada / Moving from United Kingdom to USA. Is it worth it? [136]

Anyway I always "loved" USA according to Hollywood films

Careful man, Hollywood is a business. That's their job to make you love them.

You would probably have better luck with Canada.

Probably true.. decent amount of jobs there too. Then he can always drive down to the US to see what he's missing / or avoiding. :- D

Good luck whatever you do.

Love / Is the Polish wife the boss? [33]

In Europe it's the guys who wear the pants, hands down

You must be drunk at as hell. Where do you think the term pantoflarz comes from?

what you hear people doing in the flat above about midday on Sundays.

It would seem that the casual PF visitor who happens to be a British teacher in Poland hears all sorts of zany things.. Be careful in the cr.apper by the way.. it's unlocked. Lol.

Just busting your chops there man. No worries.

busting your chops

Uhh.. and I might add for our native Polish breathren.. this only means to joke harshly.. or take the p.iss out of off.. as old lime-a-tron says.

You pass drinks round the table in order to stimulate discussion

It's a fine way to get some good talks going , nothing wrong with it.

You love toilets without locks on the doors

Well, what would you want to be sneaking around there for anyway..

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

As long as you'll say that it's disgusting in general, not just here ...

It is in general.. but look at us leading the goddamn way on this :\ . I have no pity whatsoever for these fat slobs and will mock them openly. I also hope they die soon so I'm not stuck with the bills for their bypasses. I am completely serious. It's not funny; it's pathetic. You allow yourself to get that fat .. you did that to yourself. No one else's fault and now you've got to pay for it.

Polish food isn't the greatest in the world,

Maybe not the greatest but it can be pretty damn good. With the right marketing it could probably make a lot of money. It just takes a little creativity.

USA, Canada / Polish-American groups in Southern California [26]

comparing to the Texas, San Diego weather is dreamy ;)

Cost of living out there isn't "dreamy". No jobs either .. that's why Californians are running away to Texas, Colorado, Arizona..

News / Wal-Mart coming to Poland? [146]

Poland doesn't need WalMart...The United States doesn't need WalMart.

<shrugs> I don't know, it's saved my a.ss on many occasion when I was broke. Everyone is quick to vilify Walmart but they've also helped a lot of people with their prices.

News / For all Americans worried about Schengen in Poland, dont worry about it. [142]

alexw68: The Queen gets around £8m on the Civil List (the only Royal to do so, other than the DoE at around £335K
Sorry, but I don't understand. Could you explain?

Well, (I think) the Civil List is just the list of official salaries of those who work for the state. Just like a president or a PM gets a salary, etc. However, there are all kinds of ancillary costs for her and her family.. millions of pounds a year just for their security details (the Irish are a surly bunch ya' know) .. servants... upkeep of those lavish dwellings, and so forth.

What the hell, here's a Sikorsky she ordered back on '09. Her old copter.. just wasn't up to snuff apparently. The Brit taxpayer probably had to pay for this too.

Jack offs in my own country worship stuff like this, not me man... I'm not fascinated by plutocrats, thus I don't think the Kennedys are that fascinating either. Just don't tell me that "her majesty" and all that glorious paraphernalia only cost 8 million pounds a year.

USA, Canada / Polish-Americans as seen in the false mirror. Type A and Type B. [141]

You and I have the responsibility as citizens to defend this country; expats living here do not.

Right, Right .. but do you know who would help you defend your country (should you need it )?.. That's right , the very people you guys criticize constantly: The PolAm. I know I would help out.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

.(although the Arab flow of Euphrates does not seem to annoy their nostrils).

Hmm.. a slight. Get a turban , you'll get laid? Where is Justyna to sort it all out?

make you conscious of czech cultural nuances

Yes.. you are full of subtleties, no doubt. You are trying to say a Slavic man must stink to attract women? No offense but this is a little contrary to my experience.

Probably not like a woman.

Yes.. I gathered that. Thanks for steering me straight though.

What the hell does this even mean? Smell like what?
