UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

I don't hate the english, they're just w*nkers.

*warning, strong language in the clip*

Love / Are Polish Women cold and aloof? [249]

I have found Polish girls to be very warm and friendly. I found that lots of girls, eager to practice their english, were more than happy to talk away. It depends the approach right enough. If you are very forward then most girls round the world are likely to be cold and aloof. If you are laid back, friendly and down to earth then most people (male and female) are likely to respond well.

Oh, sorry, I forgot this was PF...all Polish women are cold, heartless ******* and you are best to stay miles away from them. They all have husbands and only want to bleed your wallet dry, if you don't drive a ferarri then they won't give you the time of day. ;)

Oh yeah, and it's a terrible country, the food is all fatty and unhealthy and it smells...

No that's just the Scots...bloody milk stealing, ship sinking, miner bashing boot.

UK, Ireland / Polish Beer In The UK [98]


I used to get my lunch out of there when I worked in Ashton Lane, but then we were all pretentious wanks.

You can get bottles of Lech, Tyskie and Okocim in Pekhams in Glasgow. But it will cost you, then, everything does in there.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

I am standing by bottles of Okocim O.K. Beer...truly wonderful stuff.

UK, Ireland / Polish Beer In The UK [98]

That's the site I used to use to get Tui and various Monteiths from New Zealand...but they don't have it sadly. They sell it in the States I have found...but that's not much use to me. I think I would be easier getting a cheap flight with Ryanair and picking up 2 cases as my luggage.

UK, Ireland / Polish Beer In The UK [98]

Not a clue, just a mate had it in his fridge at a party and it was one of the nicest beers I tasted out there. Just a shame it seems almost impossible to find here.

Look out for it in Poland, it looks like this:

It's lovely stuff.

Is it not just normal Okocim...I am looking for the OK Beer with the white label.

UK, Ireland / Polish Beer In The UK [98]

Hate to drag up a rather dead post. But I am looking to get a case of Okocim OK Beer here in the UK. Obviously most shops are going to be unlikely, but does anyone know if there are any websites that I can order a case from to be delivered here?

as for the invented gayness thing that was a quote from Father Ted...i couldn't find a youtube link for it though

Love / How to show a polish Guy I like him [56]

Yeah, i'm not so good with women. I am not good with subtle hints.

Love / How to show a polish Guy I like him [56]

Just do the same thing as you would with anyone else. Flirtation first, if that doesn't work then be more direct. My ex tried flirting with me and it didn't work and she had to literally invite me to join her in bed one night before i realised she was interested.

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [199]

I agree, although I think Jock is really quite a soft derogatory term. I amn't too bothered by it. I would prefer something else but hey, who cares. I think people are just too PC in the UK.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

I noticed that the Polish guys I worked with loved the Norwegian girls we got in and the fact that they were big spenders.

Italians are disliked by the hospitality trade the world over (outside of Italy) because they are generally very arrogant, demanding, rude and never tip. I work with an Italian scottish family and they refuse to serve in the restaurant when Italians are in because they are worse with Italians.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]


As was said by Frankie Boyle:

"Look at the queen, a german, married to a greek...she must have an arse like a broken catflap"

So in summary, Germans love anal sex and Greeks invented gayness.

I honestly don't know where the Scottish being thrifty stereotype started...I have always found scottish people to be very generous...except people from Fife.

Excuse me, but we are much better at stabbing people in Glasgow!

Language / Instruction how to install Polish diacritic letters on your computer [30]

I have the polish diacritic letters installed on my computer. But can't remember how I did it. I am using Vista as is my friend who's computer I am trying to fix.

We have gone through the control panel method, but I vaguely remember when I did it that I installed a "language pack" or something like that. Will I need to do this for them?

I just can't remember how I did it, it seemed really easy last time though.

Love / Polish girls, how are they when they are in love? [86]

I think you will find that this woman is a boot. You need to get her tae f***. She is using you as an ego boost. She wants to know that she is hot enough to have you if she wants and by texting her you are confirming this.

If she is sitting about kissing other guys then she's not really very interested in you is she?

I know it's hard to take, and I didn't listen when people told me the same. But I finally followed my friends advice and it was the best thing i ever did. So I will dispense this advice now:


This is actually quite customised to me, but if you change the name and maybe one or two details it pretty much sums up what you need to hear.

Good luck with it all mate.

News / Topless sunbathers acquitted in Szczecin, Poland [128]


Let's be honest...when I go to the beach in Scotland (I can't imagine ireland being much different) I amn't thinking about being topless...it's more sweaters and jackets!

Love / POLISH WOMEN ARE PROMISCUOUS? DISCUSS. [153]

I have actually found girls in Poland, and Polish girls I have worked with in the UK to be quite conservative. But then I am comparing them to the orange hordes that parade themselves in miniscule, ill-fitting clothes every saturday night in Glasgow so I have a tainted view.

Life / Tips on tipping in Poland [45]

It does defeat the purpose. Technically the tip is a gift, it is not part of the bill it is basically you giving money to a person to say thank you for the service. Therefore the company has no real right to take it off you. However I know Wetherspoons suppliment their wage bill with any tips left on credit cards and the staff don't get a tip as such from it. So if you are drinking in an establishment like that it's best to tip in cash.

Life / Tips on tipping in Poland [45]


That would suggest to me that your friend is rather tight fisted. I have never been anywhere in Krakow where service is included and they have lied on the receipt. As for working in a restaurant, people do expect tips. Wages for waiting staff are around 6pln per hour and they make up the rest in tips.

As such I have always left a tip in restaurants. Taxis are extorsionate so I don't tip them. I tip the hairdresser but just to round it, same with the pizza guy.


For this situation, just say clearly how much you want the total to be...that's how most polish people did it with me.

Life / WHY ARE POLISH CALENDARS SKEWED? [42]

I always think of Monday as the beginning of the week. But I have had calendars in the past that have started on a Sunday. I don't think it's a particular rule, just horses for courses.

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

I am going out on a total guess here and am probably totally wrong but I think there could be a cultural thing in it as well.

Polish women seem to marry a lot younger than most girls I know back home, and with there being a strong religious feeling in the country divorce would be a no-no i am guessing. So could this lead to women sort of letting themselves go after marrying and having kids? Also on the flip side, if women are not married by 40+ (my flatmate is only 30 and is moaning that she will never find a husband at her age) maybe they give up unto a life of spinsterdom.

That's my 3 cents.
*awaits angry polish people moaning about me stereotyping them*

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

I must say I noticed this myself. I had come to the conclusion that either women don't age well here...or they age so well that they all still look like they are in their 20s.

However you don't see all that many milfs over here...i am not complaining...just an observation.
