UK, Ireland / Why British men move to Poland [63]
Honestly... give me a British man anyday.
There's an allure about Polish men, but they lack the substance of a Brit. They are wayyy less creative in many ways. And the closed mind thing just doesn't appeal.
*This is a generalisation but I just wanted to turn this thing on its head...*

Life / POLISH TEENAGERS TURN TO PROSTITUTION... [77]
Noone is saying this is the best job in the world, sheesh.
Prostitution was born out of necessity... and whether it's women or men that are involved in selling sex, it's likely not the first or preferred option for their lives.
Didn't you listen to the video... "they are yearning more than they're earning."
Living a dignified existence is a luxury. Be glad you have that luxury.
It's funny, it doesn't matter which side of the prostitution coin the woman is on, she is always the one that is denigrating herself...
Men are quite capable of exploiting themselves for sex too, and well you know it. ;)
You are aware that as many men engage in the act of paid sex as women? And, well, women have biological urges too. Many men pay without realising also. ;)
I mean at least the deal is clear with these guys - a mutual exchange that both benefit from - and I see no reason why women shouldn't have access to it as well. Fortunately, safe sex permits this sort of thing.
It's just ashame it involves an airfare!
Because your assumption that it is easy enough for women to get this sort of thing at home is dissproved by your whole attitude to sex on this thread.
I mean can't you see the parallels between the women prostituting themselves in Poland, and the men in the Caribbean in this instance...? And just leave your sacrilegious prejudices aside before you answer...
(Nothin' like a prostitution debate to ferret out the prudish, sexist and racist undertones that exist amoungst the Catholic congregation here...)
A fine example of tolerance.
Yeah and the reputation and respect! mMmmhmhmhm! Best job in the world ehh? (sarcasm)

Polonia / The Netherlands: run-down districts happy with Polish immigrants [59]
Overcrowding, mass immigration, mass sectoral outsourcing, scarce resources (where jobs usually HAVE to be located in the country), jobs made redundant by technologies, non protectionist government = undermined local employment, unemployment and associated social repercussions, poverty and debilitated progress. The future now looks very different and the social landscape is unrecognisable.
How do you maintain empires from this???
It simmers, then it breaks.
Blame is usually directed at the outsiders but of course the causes are many in this catastrophe.

Polonia / The Netherlands: run-down districts happy with Polish immigrants [59]
I think most Poles will agree that there is ample opportunity to get exploited in Poland too...
I know of young adults who refused to work (and didn't have to) in Poland because the wages were so low and conditions so bad...
They have some sort of migrants superiority complex (oops, better watch what I say, seems a lot of people are getting suspended this Christmas. ;))
Anyway, you can't get away from the fact that if YOU'RE an economic migrant, then YOU'RE doing the exploiting as well.

Australia / HOW DO I MOVE FROM AUSTRALIA TO POLAND PERMANENTLY? PARENTS BOTH FROM POLAND [26]
Having a bad day???
You can either pursue the paternal ties avenue, although that depends on the year you were born. Or go over as an Australian, see if you like it, see what kind of job you can get, and then hope that some bloke will marry you. ;)
Stick around here, you might get lucky. ;)

Are you saying we don't exist...? ;)
This was when Poland was part of East Prussia... and it originated somewhere in the Lakes region in the north. They were land owners driven out by the Prussians. But I will ask again...
And when I find out, I'm going to go back and take what's mine! (I'll give you 10% of course!) :)

Hey, no sweat, and I appreciate you looking...
It occurred to me that Polish doesn't retain the V like many other languages, and perhaps that is the Germanization of the name???
In any case, I haven't known for 30 years so I'm sure that another few months wont matter...
We have a good ancestry database facility online here, so I'll get my arise into gear and start researching.
Many thanks. :)
P.S. Do you work for the Gazeta?

Is that wooden house good for storage?
Can you get a trailer on your bike, or Jeep?
Is there anyone else you know in PL with a Jeep and possibly trailer who would do the journey with you for a small cost? (plus free accomodation in Moscow)
Then just leave the rest in the loft of your current house for later pick up... I had stuff all around the world at one point...
How far is this journey anyhoo?

Really? Perhaps the name was extremely regional and in an area heavily persecuted by the Prussians... It seems someone ended up going to the states, but I know for a fact that part of my branch ended up in modern day Germany...
It's almost more mysterious that there are so few remaining... Or perhaps they just weren't marriage material?? It wouldn't surprise me! ;P

Yeah it sounds like the solution is a combination of a convoy and a massive clean out...?
But if you want to keep your second 4WD you'll need to get it fixed anyway.
You sound like a charitable guy, will there be need for all your country squire belongings when living in the megalopolis that is Moscow? Are we talking family heirlooms, lawnmowers, or stuff you need for business?
How did you get it all from the UK in the first place?
Funny how we accumulate stuff... Just don't let it bog you down... You'll have your woman's stuff to contend with soon. ;)

Oh , you asked me how far it is...? From my farm in Poland to Moscow , its about 1000 miles...
Oh, not far then? ;)
The wooden house is within the Moscow ring road ( Malachovka ) and its occupied all the time by my girlfriends daughter...
