UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

Your business needs cheap labor as your own people are often too lazy or stupid and once this "mess" ends, the new one will begins.

Just stop with the 'lazy British people' stereotype. Its annoying.

couldn't agree more, he's always complaining how people box and categories the Polak's, hay greg take a look at your own words :)

I seriously think he's doing this just to irritate people. No one can be that hypocritical.

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

p.s. i was just checking out Justysia's comment on the pictures being bent in the profiles and looked at yours, you have a picture of your shoes??? did that photo go wrong, maybe somebody forgot where your head was, lol, what is that about?? or are they just new or something, haha

LOL!! Yes the pictures are definitely off. The appear huge and blurry until you click on them and then they are tiny and off-center.
The pic is of my shoes. I love them :) Plus, I'm sick of my face so I thought putting up a pic of my shoes would be more interesting lol. I just wish that the pic wasn't so blurry, because it ruins the appearance of my pretty shoes :(

you find shoes more interesting than faces??? lol, do you look down at peoples feet when your talking, haha, imagine that :) sorry i'm just having a chuckle to myself, i understand what you mean though, i think :) Girls are always so proud of their shoes yet guys just buy them and ruin them and throw them away again

If a girl has cute shoes I always notice (and sometimes ask where she got them). I definitely prefer to look at other people's faces over shoes, but I see my mug all the time so I figured putting up shoes will be a good idea. Plus, I get bored having the same pics up so I'll probably be changing both soon :)

Yes I am.

Of course you are...

lol i guess its like guys talking about the best football boots to get:) thats the only analergy i can think of!!!

Yes, thats probably a good analogy. I just hate it when they say they got it years ago :(

i wasn't slagging it off just asking why, thats all, no harm or offense meant

Don't worry, I know you didn't mean to offend and I wasn't offended.

awful spelling of course what i meant there was anal energy, uuummm no actually i think i'l stick with analogy, hahah.

LOL! How do I mistaken analogy for anal energy?

ouch, that hurts, its like when you say to your mate, 'thats a new shirt is it mate, who are you trying to impress tonight??' and he goes 'nah, i've had it for ages you just haven't seen me wear it'

and you know its a lie. Just fess up people! :)

To me, she can be wearing the most beautiful dress and make it look cheap. She's gifted that way.

Are these similar to what is predicted for fashion in Poland this year or is it different?

Yikes! I saw one maybe two things that I would actually wear from there. And both items I would only wear if I had to go to a conservative event.

i cant wait till i can finally ditch all the jumpers and long sleeved tops!

Exactly. There is nothing flattering about wearing a tent instead of a tank. I'm not saying that women should walk around looking like skanks but there is no reason to wear a top that'll make you look 40inches wide (obese!). I love wearing clothes that flatter and accentuate my waist and wouldn't be caught dead in most of that crap.

not flattering:

What is it with this pointy shoes craze?

I am probably one of the few females that hates pointy toe shoes. They are f'ugly to me. They look like witch shoes.

And trousers with dresses, be they baby-doll dresses (i.e. those stupid moomoo things) or actual dresses is just plain ugly and unattractive. No woman should ever experiment with that look, ever!

yeah, I'm not a fan of unflattering layers either. Nothing good can come from wearing a dress over pants.

What do PFers think about Uggs?

Nice snake-shoe pic in your profile by the way.

Thanks :) (they're faux snake, btw)
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but I choose to read it as a compliment :)

I don't like pointy toe shoes either. I have one pair, which look nice with jeans and a top in the summer but I can't wear them if I have to walk any distance because they get hurt. And yeah, the pointy bit makes me think of a witch :)

yay! I'm not alone! My sister LOVES them. I will never know why.

I see girls with them on and they're basically walking over the side and back of them

LOL!! I see that all the time. Apparently, that happens because the skin stretches so much that they end up losing some of their shape. It looks sloppy.

I bought a cheaper version (infact 2 pairs) over the winter and they great and sturdy (but still managed to fall on the ice

I see people wearing them in the summer all the time. a summer dress, bug-eye sunglasses and Uggs :S

Aye was a compliment: not too pointy, not needlessly over-detailed, shiny!

I love shiny :)

My cheapo ones don't do that at all

I love that the knock-offs are better than the $200 pair :)

Really? Surely your feet would sweat in them? Mines have furry linings so they would be to hot for sure :)

yeah, can you imagine how nasty they must smell?

Whats with the belts you Polish Princesses wear? EVERY Polish girl i met over here love huge studded belts? They look nice dont get me wrong, but i just found it quite funny

maybe its the trend in Poland. I haven't seen that too much around here, from the Polish Princesses or otherwise.

Should the issue of Winter boots in Summer seem so strange?

yes! Winters are freezing cold and summers are humid and hot. In the summer, we get 28-36 Celsius all the time. Try wearing furry boot then lol.

I've been to London once in the summer and the weather was so inconsistent. One minute I was wearing a sweater, then I had to take it off because it was too warm, then the clouds came again and I was cold. Mother Nature sure is fickle over there in England :)

Polonia / Polish Zloty Can't Exchange in France!.. [24]

Versaille, South of France, Champagne, etc.

what I don't like about France-> most of the food. I like the cheese and wine but I'm not a big fan of fish, snails, frogs, boeuf, duck, and all the other different types of meats that the French eat at every meal. I hate red meat, so dinners in France are gross to me :(

Some background first. Doggie G started the race with an apparently innocent request to find out whether he was still loved here on PF. Yes we know he phrased it in an abstract way but we all know it was a cry from the heart

ROFL!! I knew Greg was feeling unloved! Poor thing...*hugs*

We interviewed noimmigration as he left the polling booth earlier but could not understand a word of what he said.

Shocking!

ETA: Awesome coverage!
(but you forgot about the scandals...and DONKEY!)

It wouldn't be authentic coverage of an election without reporting ALL the scandals. People need to know about your affairs in order to figure out if you are worthy to represent them or not.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

It surely does. Still, I hate when people assume I'm a catholic, a thief and an alcoholic just when they hear I'm Polish.

thief -I`ve never heard that stereotype before.
alcoholic - I`ve heard this in a joking manner. Most people I know don`t consider the average Polish person an alcoholic.
Catholic - yeah.

we are a nation of complainers, it's in our DNA.

No. You will find loads of complainers in every democratic nation. When people aren`t complaining, it usually isn`t because they`re happy with their nation but because they feel oppressed. Complacency isn`t exactly a good thing.

as an educator

I`m not mocking your writing style but please be reader friendly and try to separate your block into readable parts. Your block made my eyes blurry. Thanks.

i do not steal, i have a very high academic degree

i hate vodka

i am not racist

Me neither. I am a Polka (though I won`t identify with `typical` because I hate that word).
I guess you`re not that special :(

i am not racist (how can i be? i married a successful businessman who happens to be an african american)

Well, there are more ways than one to be a racist. Just because you are in an interracial marriage doesn`t automatically disqualify you from being racist if you believe in stereotypes for other races (Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian, etc..). I`m not saying that you do, but you need to get off your high horse because being married to an AA doesn`t mean that you`re not racist. In fact, by identifying him as `the other` you are adhering to racist mentalities.

i've read quite a few entries and unfortunately i have to agree with some of them. being polish myself i feel kind of uneasy about admitting that we are racist

We are not racists. Ignorant individuals are.
Poland is far from perfect and I will not deny that there is racism in Poland (especially against the Roma) but they are trying to work on it. Like you said, Poland is basically one race of people. It is not easy to get around that mentality but steps have been taken.

Yes. If its a bigger car, then she might be smuggling more thieving Polaks into the country. If, and I do mean IF, you get your car back, make sure to check it for signs of illegal immigrants. Especially Polish ones that will abuse your health care system.

Yup. That sounds about right. Is it too late to take her immigration ring away?
When you find a new bride to replace the racist, thieving Polish one, make sure to keep her away from the telephone and any form of communication.

polish people are dumb

Hopefully, this will work to your advantage, Apple Pie. Good luck.

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

For a nation that has been through so much throughout history, you would have thought that, white supremacy, racism against skin colour and religious groups etc etc would not be something to be worried about in Poland. However it seems there is a sleeping beast within Poland.

No one is going to deny that there are racist bigots in Poland. An aura of xenophobia was created with the onslaught of communism after WWII. There is no excuse for racism in Poland these days and people are actually looking into it and trying to fix things. Prior to its occupation Poland was seen as one of the most tolerant nations in Europe (unlike the pilfering Britain that you like to believe to be an icon of tolerance).

Karl, for someone that is critical of such a deep issue in a nation that they`ve never been to, you`re starting to sound like an ignorant hypocrite. Get off your high horse and look into the racism that is occurring in your own nation.

"There's two types of racism in this country - the racism that discriminates and the racism that kills, which is compounded by poverty."

The recent stabbing by teenage gang members of a 10-year-old Nigerian boy, who was then left by passers-by to die in an open stairwell of a rundown London housing project, has led police to look into antagonisms between the Nigerian and Caribbean communities.

Barack Obama is well in the running for the presidency of the United States of America. He is the first non-white American to have a strong chance of holding the highest office in the USA. But had his Kenyan father chosen Britain rather than the UK for his studies his son, his grandchildren and their grandchildren would have been excluded from the office of head of state. For in this country the constitution requires that that position be filled only by northern European Protestants. No Blacks, no Jews and, indeed, no Irish need apply. The British allow one family, the dysfunctional, high-living white Windsors, the exclusive right to represent them.

love to know so a when I come for a visit, I'don't look out of place

I don`t know what the preferred colour is but bright colours are generally popular in Poland. People like to look happy and bright. Whenever I`m there for a visit I always see women in yellows, reds, blues, greens etc.. (not all at once, mind you..)

I couldn't find good cheese when I was in Poland.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Polish cheese either.

I love creamy Havarti and Macedonian feta. yum.
