Language / Polish Lessons Units [189]

Superlatives,superlatives!!!!!

I'm all out 'em!!! And I'm a native Brit!

Suffice to say, you have produced an excellent body of work. I sincerely hope that you feel justifiably proud of what you have achieved here.

Without your help, I wouldn't even begin to know where to start learning Polish!!

I look forward to your next post(s) with eager anticipation.

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]


You've only to look toward Russia - and the ascendancy of Authoritarianism - to see how a population is reverting to its former self; based solely on the perceived benefits of former communism. The Motherland will take care of all your needs . . . from cradle to the grave.

Life / Child Adoption in Poland? [138]


Presumably this would encompass your unconditional love and devotion too . . . . ?

Love / Are Polish Girls scared of English Guys [124]

Firstly, why would you confine your question to English guys?

Secondly, My girlfriend is Polish and I am English - to date she's never given me any indication that she's scared of me - but I think I've never given her reason to be afraid . . .

Just my thoughts :)

Work / Poland Work Permit / Study Visa Processing Times [191]


Simple solution - don't thiink about it! :)

You have all the necessary documentation (keep it safe) and now that you have been through the process once, it should be easier the second time around.

. . . or is it ????? :/

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


Good points you raise here. My girlfriend is Polish and has been here, in the UK, for almost 4 years now.

She wants to make a life for herself here and is learning the language, and making an effort ot integrate. By the same token, some of her house mates are only here to work, speak little, if any, English and make no effort to integrate. Why should they? They're only here to work, not to make a life for themselves. For what it's worth, I don't have a problem with that.

I think many Brits fail to make the distinction in this respect. Largely, because they don't understand that most migrant workers do not intend settling here.

Off-Topic / ANYONE HEAR A STRANGE NOISE IN WARSAW....? [45]


Sounds like my neighbour . . . she's a real goer :D But as I live in Luton, I guess it wasn't her.

Love / How to convince English boyfriend to learn Polish? [39]

I'd have to say that I had a real job of trying to get my ex Polish girlfriend to teach me her language and culture.

Conversely, she has been here nearly four and half years and is making steady progress with English but really doesn't have any inclination to learn anything about English culture.

Whilst I can sound off a few phrases, I really can't hold a conversation even at simpleton level.

My exposure to the Polish language is severely limited and thus it has compounded my
ability to make steady progress.


I agree entirely :)

Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]


Would that be the Royal "we"?

Anyway, what have you got against your fellow countryman aside from the fact that he has absolutely nothing - aside from an accident of birth - in common with you? (mercifully) ;)

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]

I was based at Northolt for 3 years . . . so far the prog appears to be unbiased & certainly it reflects the frustration of the Polish pilots.

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]


16 kills in 15 minutes - all confirmed!! Highest scoring sqn at that time!!!

No doubt, if we didn't have the Poles, we would've lost the Battle of Britain . . . very close run thing!!

A shame that their sacrifice wasn't acknowledged in 1946

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]

They had bloody good reason to moan

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]

I started this theread to draw attention to a story that was told from the Polish pilots of 303 Sqn's pespective (through the medium of a diary), rather than from a history book in school.

Whilst I did study contemporary history at school; it was never taught from the perspective of the "Free Forces", and specifically, 303 Sqn.

This programme offered that perspective; I greatly appreciate that.

I am, after all, a "Brit", and would, therefore, be incapable of recoginising true courage in the face of extreme adversity, & readily acknowledging those sacrifices as made by all of the "free forces" fighting with GB and her allies during the course of WW II.

Moreover, having served in the RAF, and having been based at RAF Northolt during my service, I am happy, and proud, to draw attention to the courage & sacrifice of those, such as 303 Sqn, to this forum.

For those of you who believe that the rest of the world is against you, fear not!. Some of us do recognise the valuable & decisive contribution of the Polish pilots during the course of the Battle of Britain, and thereafter.

For those of you to myopic to recognise the distinction, I offer my sincere apologies.

History / The Untold Battle of Britain [205]


Indeed there is! All of this is held in the Officers Mess! RAF Norhtholt is also famous for having the oldest Officers Mess in the RAF, dating back to WW 1
