USA, Canada / Where to buy Polish National Soccer Team jersey in the US? [9]

Yes, I know what American Football, as it is known in Europe, is. I just wondered why it's called "football". Seems to me that the use of the feet is occasional, whereas, in real football, the ball can only be propelled by the feet, except by the goalkeeper. I think that "American Rugby" would be a more accurate name. Of course British rugby is a much tougher game, played without the body armour. I remember a tour, years ago, by a Welsh rugby team who took "football" teams on at their own game, without the protection. Not quite sure who won. Perhaps someone remembers.

riki. You have the measure of this poor bastard jarnowa. My advice would be to just be yourself. If you don't, then you are acting, and if so, you will either have to continue to be "in role", or later come clean and admit the fact. Take it slow and easy and, above all, have fun.

As some posters have already said, these guys need to get their breadheads on. I worked my arse off for years to start building, seven days a week most of the time. There is money to be made in Poland but you have to work work work. Believe me, it ain't easy but if you really want to get away from living with the in-laws, you have to hustle.

Doing what we did is an option. Tell the crooks at the bank to put their mortgage where the sun doesn't shine, buy a plot of land and build over several years. It's not easy but you can move in and camp once you've got the basic utilities in. Not including the cost of the land we've spent a little over 200k for a 105m2 house.

I can't remember insulting you but you feel free to insult me and then go off on a rant accusing me of misusing words without any justification on your part whatsoever. For your information: I was born, brought up and educated in London. Oh, and one other thing, your latest rant contains several English language errors. Who's pompous?

Anybody thinking they can just rock up in Poland and land a job teaching English needs to think carefully before coming. You may speak English but do you know how it works? Can you explain it to people effectively? Are you trained in teaching? Can you offer more to a school than a Polish teacher with an MA in Philology and several years' experience.

I've been teaching English for nearly twenty years and have all the usual bits of paper, but I find out new stuff about English every day.

I sincerely wish you luck but think about it first. My MA students at the local uni are very, very aware of how the language works and are attractive to language schools. Are you?

I only joined this forum a couple of days ago. I was looking forward to discussing Polish life and issues with other intelligent people. Now I know that this is just another way lunatics who "want to rip people's spines out" can have their voices heard without leaving their bedrooms. I'm now going to withdraw my membership and see if I can find somewhere interesting instead. Goodbye.

Given that you can fill a basket with fresh produce for 10zl a day - there really is no excuse for the vast majority of children to ever go to school hungry.

Where do you go shopping? How could you possibly fill a basket for 10zł a day?
