Life / Horribly cold in Krakow at the moment , how do you cope with such temperatures ? [124]

This winter is particularly freezing in Krakow and i was just curious to know how most people can cope with these temperatures and if life goes on just as normal in terms of work, everyday life,etc

indeed, it's freezing cold, but life does go on. The buses, trains and trams are running, people still go or drive to church, go shopping, see their family etc. As long as you have proper clothing it's bearable. Plus today it's sunny - it's a shame to stay in all day!

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

She really well educated, currently studying for a doctorate.

That's not the kind of eduction I meant.
I wanted to say źle wychowana, anybody can translate, pls?

I think she left home when she was young, raised the kids on her own, so she was basically a kid raising kids, so no adult values to pass down to them as she had none.

still, that doesn't excuse her.

When I am finished with scanning the physical valors of a woman,

1jola a ja cały czas myślałam, że ty jesteś kobietą! :)

I wanted feed back from Polish members as to whether or not this was normal Polish behaviour, which is what she explains it as.

I wouldn't call it a normal Polish behaviour. She's definitely not a well-educated person. How about her family, are they the same (I'm guessing they are)?

The modern generation of Polish people are unfortunately rude and without manners.

the modern generation of people anywhere are rude and without manners.

Love / Polish guys who have never had girlfriends [71]

And since when does the catholic church keep Polish teens from screwing?

ever since it exists my dear.

Perhaps not all teens will listen to this but I am convinced that many do.

I am convinced as well.

Absolutely. My girlfriend is Polish and she and her kids are completely lacking in basic manners, for instance if we are invited out for a meal they simply eat and leave. No thank you's, no see you soon, they just feed their faces, invariably turning their noses up at anything which isn't meat or potato, and leave.

congratulations pirate for assuming that if your gf and her kids lack in basic manners, than the entire PL nation lack in it as well.

UK, Ireland / UKs worst drink driver is Polish. [24]

then there must be very few Russian ladies in the UK.
As per Floripa's brilliant thread, the worst drunkard in the history of the UK is PL. ;)

Great, at least we are #1 at something.

This is an outrage! Not only do you come over here and eat all our swans, pinch all the jobs etc now you are breaking our records too.

as far as drinking is concerned, we are simply unbeatable! :)

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]

I simply don't want to live in a uniform world where every country looks, tastes and sounds the same.

then I'm sure you are neither British nor American. Sometimes I get the impression that this is the world they would love!

I've come across cases where Native speakers were unable to follow Englang conversations between second language speakers, because the references and 'mistakes' were understood by the L2 speakers but not by the L1 speaker.

so true, I've seen it in my work as well.

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

Love is the worst reason.

Love is a very good reason.
I moved to Belgium for love, and although today I'm not with my boyfriend anymore, I have no regrets!

Travel / Is it safe to travel to Poland? [194]

pointing them out would be much more useful HERE than arguing about statistics.

nobody's arguing, we are having a nice chat and a good laugh. What's wrong with that?

Food / "Browar Jabłonowo" beer, A Christmas word of warning [18]

Is that the stuff that comes in plastic bottles? I have a British friend that mysteriously loves the stuff :(

maybe. the ones I've had (the sins of my rebellious youth) came all in glass bottles though. Your friend loving jabol is, indeed, a mystery. :)

(yes, I bought it because I wanted to experience what cheap Polish beer was like...never again!)

you should try PL cheap wine, the so called jabol, now that is awful!!!!!
Although, they have some nice and innocent names, e.g. 1/2 śpiewu, sen sołtysa...

in some ignorant people's minds it is BB. You can see it very well on this forum, I mean the ignorance.

Another stupid thread "Why do Poles choose to die instead of going back home" - no comments on that one....

Life / Winter in Poland? [161]

That was a joke. I forgot smiley ;).

I see.
Have you tried herbata z prądem yet?

You are totally right :)

Yeah, that's what I thought, it's somehow logic. Nothing is more precious than life!

Yeah it is a sin but it doesn't count if you commit bigger sins with it.

what do you mean?

Alcohol is inevitable in that circumstances. It is not a sin as you have to protect your health :)

I guess refusing to drink alcohol in order to save yourself from freezing would be even more haram, wouldn't it?

;)
