Law / British managers superior to Polish [52]


By billions, not millions...miss-management springs to mind


I think you wil find that, that extends to British people, not just those south of Watford!


Now that did tickle me, considering the majority of these "British" companies employed foreign labour to get the job done and bypassed locals who are indiginous to this island...Not to mention they blocked companies outside of London! (we won all the work through out London office!)..You really have no idea about the politics that were involved in this shambolic mess that has cost the government billions..do you realise how many new school projects and hospitals have been axed because of it? All because we want to look great to the world..Its a disgrace!


You're welcome :)

Law / British managers superior to Polish [52]


Hate to pee on your pardade but this has gone way over budget and the security throughout the games is going to run into millions of £££ so whilst it all looks nice and shiny and new, dont think for one minute everything has been perfect (my old company has done the security systems and designed the vollyball area and the lighting for various other things so I know a little about village and its issues) - lets also not forget the back-handers and corruption involved.. The vast majority of the work was awarded to companies on the basis of you scratch my back and I'll put a few quid in your back pocket....But yes there will be people working for free same was when we hosted the commonwealth games, thats normal in all countries that host these kind of things, its not something unique to Britain.

Im sure the lack of infrastructure in Poland has all boiled down the fact they didnt have the funds to do it, which begs the qustion of why they got it in the first place?

UK, Ireland / Poles working in Manchester, England - request for facts [34]

Polish R C Church Of Divine Mercy, Lloyd Street North, Manchester.

South Manchester, there also used to be a Polish club in Cheetham Hill, which was set up after the war, but it recently closed.

Hope this helps :)

News / What is the population of Poland's non-european minority? [142]


It doesnt work, look at England, it has failed, we have no go areas for white English people, Muslims calling for Sharia law and India as a country will always secretly dispise Britain because of colonialism (yet happy to work in call centers which are British owned!) same as Africa, its not safe for white people living there (in SA), so whilst you can bang on about multi-culti and say how lovely it is, its never going to work, its failed all over Europe - because of lack of integration, Im not saying all none Europeans fail to integrate, Afro Caribians came here and mixed well and and so do a lot of Chinese people who have settled and are 2nd and 3rd generation, but for the most part people form their own communities and dont want to be part of the wider community in the country to which to have chosen to settle in..Im not saying the English are perfect when they go abroad to live, but I think they try more now since most countries like France and Spain do not pander to them, the kids have to learn the language because if they dont, they're not going to be offered any extra assistance..so its sink or swim! Or go private which many cant afford.

So whilst its a lovely idea that everyone can get along and all mix it up, the reality is, its a mess and has is causing mass resentment across Europe, the land mass and limited resources can not cope with the massive influx of those who want to escape the povery and corruption in their own countries - it cant go on forever, hence the reason Britian has put a cap on immigration and other countries are clamping down too.

Life / History of Dzień Kobiet (Women's Day) in Poland: [13]

I think I'll give Inernational Womens day a miss, I walked through Piccadilly gardens in Manchester last night and saw banners on the railings pormoting it along with lesbian rights (what rights do they want? Ive got gay female friends who are professionals who are doing just fine without having to tell the world about their sexuality!) and rights to work for famale assylum seekers - all singing something along the lines of "we shall over come" ...oh dear :( If thats what its about its not for me...Besides women bang on about equal rights, lets start an international Mens day!

My other half buys me flowers all the time, he doesnt need an excuse..

Thats lovely, but you could do that any day of the year, just to show her that she's special :D

News / About fifty injured after two trains collide in Poland [73]


Bit of an ignorant thing to say in light of recent events, even the most modern railway systems can have horrific accients..google Potters Bar.

I hope they find out who was to blame for this and they are punished, it's generally human error and this most likely could have been prevented this from happening, trust me Ive was involved with several enquries whilst seconded to Network Rail where the smallest thing could have caused devistation on the railway system (hate travelling by train now!)

RIP to those who lost their lives and a speedy recovery to those who were injured.

Love / Met this gorgeous Polish lady [27]


You need to stop drinking in Weatherspoons hun, it attracts are certain type.


Plenty of pretty English girls out there, it might be that you live in an ugly area like Birmingham where they all seem to look dog rough and sound slightly retarded.

But if you think Polish girls are so pretty you should take a trip to Croatia, you'd change your opinion as soon as you land in the nearest town / city they are effortlessly stunning and very elegant, not a scrach of make-up on the majority and look like they've just walked off a catwalk, even as a straight female I could appreciate their beauty, the men arent bad either :D

Language / The shame! I can't pronounce my Polish wife's name (Ola) [69]


I think Wulkan was saying that his girlfriend and her friends have no problem saying Ola, I dont understand how someone could get it wrong, as for Orla, thats an Irish way of saying it...all down to accent, the OP, it would seem has an accent that makes it difficult to say it correctly and keeps putting an "r" sound in there..I have to say it would peeve me.

youtube.com/watch?v=kH4U8RPICgA

Now isntead of staying Olay, put an "a" instead of the "ay" sound...simples!

Love / Met this gorgeous Polish lady [27]


yawn yawn yawn, your failings with English ladies is your problem, not theirs..


Hun, I cant wait to see his posts in a few weeks when he bemoans about Polish women being the sporn of the devil! :D


Where do you think Poland is?


That could be any female...


This is why he couldnt make it with girls of his own nationality...he obviously doesnt know how to treat a "woman"...Not cute, rather tragic...


Love it!

Language / Need Advice On Polish-English language barrier (my Polish boyfriend and his family) [59]

MinaD

It would seem they dont really care that you dont speak Polish if you're not living in Poland, Im working with a Chinese girl who is married to a Polish guy (3 years married 4 years together in total) and she speaks less Polish than me!

She said when he gets mad he shouts in Polish, so I tought her a phase :)

Przepraszam, nie mowie po polsku. - and told her to smile afterwards, maybe he'll teach her a little bit more in future ;0)

Good luck, its bloody difficult to learn!

UK, Ireland / WHAT IS IT ABOUT POLISH PEOPLE THAT MAKES THEM THINK THAT UK WANTS THEM? [309]


War has always created jobs - jobs fuel the economy.


pennies make pounds (you know the saying, look after the pennies and the pounds wil take care of themselves!) therefore its worth looking at the smaller picture and realising that for everything £1 taken out of the tax coffers it affects us all in a big way...hospitals, schools, libraries, funding for associated costs for the elderly..the list is endless..constantly blaming bankers is merely a way of shifting blame, this country was on skid row long before the banking system went tits up..

UK, Ireland / WHAT IS IT ABOUT POLISH PEOPLE THAT MAKES THEM THINK THAT UK WANTS THEM? [309]


£87 for first child per month

£58 for those that follow

So its not a bad screw for those with a few kids!


10 euros is, nearly £100 isnt when its coming out of the tax payers pocket!

This country welcomes hard working honest decent people but even Ive heard Poles (the few Ive known) moan about the trash that had followed them here...

As far Poland I was lead to understand child benefit is means tested and quite hard to obtain.

Work / My friend is looking for a job in Poland with a physics degree [32]


Quite a lot of people who work in high level banking have physics degrees or at least they do in the UK, could be different in Poland, then there is also engineering...so fs, there are lots of jobs open to those with physics degrees / masters and PHDs

History / A little reminder for those Brits that ***** about Poles [143]


It was a "world" war, there were plenty from the commonwealth that died.

Love / Polish girls want to be dominated. Fact? [63]


Send her a photo of your nob and ask if she'd prefer that instead? :D

Study / Shocking! Test standards in Polish schools. [165]

Actually French is only compulsory from 11 to 14 (years 7 to 9) after that most drop languages as they are not deemed useful.

As for the paragraphs the OP posted, they were not grammatically correct, but understandable at the same time, seems like grammar isnt top of the list for teachers in Polish schools.

Life / Does Polish society accept new people especially those not from Poland [41]

[quote=tomjustyna] I have found those from the bigger cities are less welcoming seems very slow to accept.[/quote

Different person different view....

Where exactly are you from where they accept foreigners with open arms....

In villages in the UK they wouldnt accept someone who didnt even have a local accent.

In towns in the UK someone can get the living daylights beat out of them because they dont have a local accent...

No where is perfect...Most on here say that big cities are better for foreigners and now you think because you happen to visit your wifes village all villagers are lovely....

Why do people ask such narrow minded stupid questions!

UK, Ireland / Polish is an official language in the UK? [68]


I can tell you now, all the signs in Howarth are in English :) Was there the other week.

The official language in the Britain is English, unless you are in North Wales....


They dont need to seek asylum, they all have French passports! Have you seen the suburbs of Paris these days???

News / Poland please don't give up your hard won democracy to the EU. Or give up the zloty! [24]


You better start thinking of ways to pay the EU back then!


? You mean companies relocating and creating jobs?

Love / Falling for a Polish guy and confused.. [23]


We're no different in Europe than what you are in America..Relatonships and people work exactly the same.

LDR's can work, but more often than not they don't, especially if you haven't had time to establish some kind of bond in the first instance.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]


Yawn..My fella is all man has a professional job works hard, can cook and clean and iron...Now that's what I call perfect!

As for English men becoming real when they're with Poles..have you ever worked in a pub? Get a group of men together and they go all alpha male regardless of what nationality they are!!

Men have not become emasculated, they have evolved, same as they're not whacking us over the head and dragging us into caves (that would be considered rape these days btw)...Soiety changes and so do we.

Now let me guess, you are dating a Polish man?

UK, Ireland / Tale of a Polish Family on Isle of Man [43]


And paid the debt back, Britian has never had a free ride (excluding what they pillaged from ex colonies of course).


What you mean is he's been going for cheap labour for the last 20 years, probably paying cash in hand and under the going rate.


Another jibe at the English...Oh dear!


Totally agree.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]


I meant out the ones shown on here...personally I think the cutest and best looking are mixed south east asian, my friend is Chinese from Hong Kong originally and his wife is English, their kids are out of this world..Met quite a few mixed Chinese / English when I used to go clubbing in Liverpool too..Its nothing new here and not looked upon as something different.

UK, Ireland / Slough & Elsewhere UK [23]


Well said, I wanted to make a point, without bigging up Brits and putting down Poles...neither one is better than the other...My uncle worked in the middle east for years as an engineer so I know what its like for family to travel for work to make a better life for the family (and he paid his mortage off a lot sooner than my parents did!)..

Comments are from the last vid.

The English are a lazy race? What all of us? even those that have built companies who are employing Polish people?are..This cee u next tuesday came here illegal! Comments like that make me laugh and he was not representative of Polish people who are integrated, total ignorance.

Regarding Romananians:

Lazy and a bad attitude, not much more to add to that.

Im just finishing a project and have been working on a site (yes a building site) for the past 4 months and whilst Ive worked there Ive heard the Poles who are on site speak perfect English and the ones Ive spoken to have been here for around 7 to 10 years, they're not scratching round for work (all well skilled), neither do they consider the British inferior, they work with them and respect them, they have lunch with them and they're not insular, i.e. not just mixing with Poles at break time...

Posting YouTube videos really doesnt help...it just gives a one sided view rather that what is happening in the world itself.

Law / A Norway guy studying in Poland wants to bring his Pakistani wife to Poland. Visa for her? [23]

That doesnt matter, if he is exercising his treaty rights as a student and he is a Norwegian citizen, then he has every right to bring her to Poland on an EEA family permit, it actually easier for him to bring his wife to Poland that it would be for a Polish citizen to bring a spouse from an non EU country...

Life / If I'm agnostic, deist, atheist - can I say that to Polish people in Poland? [72]


The OP comes from a country where is it a legal requirement to have your religion on your ID, same as in Malasia, it's a muslim thing, so therefore it is a big deal. People are judged by their religion, it would appear that the OP cares not for religion and would live to live in a society where people are like minded, so him not caring about religion is a big deal to him, he doesnt want to be judged by religious people.
