Language / Interesting inconsistency between Polish and Russian [71]

The "I can speak Polish therefore I can easily understand Czech" myth will never end on PF. I'm sure that someone will be along to say "hodovla divek" in a minute :D

UK, Ireland / Is the UK referred to as the Islands in Polish media back home? [62]

What, exactly, does this have to do with the topic?

it's just another (lame) attempt to...

turn the tables on this forum's Polonophobic British posters.

;)

As for continental, think continental breakfast. The full English is sth very different and more substantial.

It's like someone mentioned elsewhere, about someone they met who claimed that England isn't in Europe. Just because the "British Isles" aren't on the mainland, it doesn't mean we're not in Europe. If that argument was applied elsewhere, then neither is Malta or Crete - utterly ridiculous of course :)

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

This is my problem too. I'm 182cm in shoes.

However, I won't go out unless I'm wearing these:

Na wyspach (brytyjskich) means on the (British) Isles and is common

No doubt you will call me "common" for saying kartofle instead of ziemniaki as well.

I bet you think you're royalty because your surname ends in "wicz" or something. lol

tbh it's more of a media thing, really. I've never heard anyone actually say it. Just like no-one ever says "sex romp" except the papers. haha :)

Work / What is a good salary in Wroclaw? (coordinator position for an IT company) [27]

Yeah, even traditional "expat" locations like Hong Kong are increasingly looking to the local workforce for high-end jobs; many of whom can offer not only English and Cantonese, but increasingly Mandarin as well. That's somewhere I would move to tomorrow if I could, but I'd need more Cantonese than English in my job, so no chance :(

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

Yes. My friend is 190cm and simply has no interest in short men.

yeah, but she's a giant!! lol

polish girls are hot and feminine which is very differerent from western girls who are mostly unfeminine and/or fat

Here we go again, more generalisations. Where I live, there are many Polish women, and they are average at best. None can compare to my last Polish ex.

Where I work, the Polish women are amongst the least attractive of the women in their age group. The English women are by far the hottest.

But most of the idiots who post these inane threads are only looking for a skinny woman with no a**, because they aren't big enough to deal with a big behind - hence the predictable "fat English women" insults :D

Work / What is a good salary in Wroclaw? (coordinator position for an IT company) [27]

If I had to move to the USA, NZ, Oz (or even Poland), I would be paid the local rate for what I do, which in several cases, would be lower than in the UK. This is why I would never move to Poland.

Why do so many people on here think that they should be paid more than a local? Unless you can genuinely offer something a local worker can't (unlikely), I just can't see how it's justified or expected.

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]

I think Poland has a lot of tall guys. I am 181 cm male. Is it too short to be attractive to polish girls?

Poland's full of men around 170cm. If you're worried about your height, don't be. Or you could always stick to dating Kylie types lol :)

Love / Want to ask a Polish girl out? [27]

Coffee is not a very good bait for a Polka.

In my experience (i.e., many years of real-life experience, not chatting breeze on PF like you do), Polki do like meeting for coffee - indeed, it's often their suggestion. Probably because when they suggest coffee, it means coffee - whereas over here, "coffee" means sex. No decent Polish woman will suggest sex for a first date.

You have to be more direct with Polish women - if you want coffee, say coffee; if you want sex, say łóżko. :D

"Let's go for a kebab" won't work, by the way, just in case you were wondering. LOL :)

Is this how the kids do it nowadays? on FB?

Not just the kids - my last ex asked me out on FB and we are a long way from being "kids", lol.

Why bother to answer someone who isn't registered, can't write well though he claims to be an Irish man, and doesn't know how to ask a girl for a date? He sounds like he's 15.

Looks like woodcouch won't be "getting wood" for a while then; except on his own, maybe. haha :)

Food / A Polish dish with peas and eggs [18]

one of the more disgusting aspects of Polish cuisine

Indeed! My mum used to make me eat this stuff as a child. I can't even face the jelly inside pork pies for this reason.

Mind you, growing up speaking Polish as well as English, I always wondered if we should be eating "pies" anyway. i thought that was a Thai thing. haha.

UK, Ireland / Polish is an official language in the UK? [68]

It may or may not be a genuine sign, but considering all the Poles in the UK, there is NO excuse for such mistakes these days; not for a big organisation like Westminster.

I can understand why an Asian shop in a small Midlands town would put up signs which say things like "Polska Produkts" or "Polskie Chleb", but as there are probably more Poles in London than in Katowice these days, there's no excuse ;)

Polonia / Looking for Poles in Brussels, Belgium. [19]

It may have escaped your notice but the UK has about 45 million more inhabitants than little old Belgium.

If you had actually bothered to look up that site, as I did, you would notice that those statistics are given as a percentage of the total population, or state the number of crimes per 100 000 of population.

If he can't be bothered to look up his own sources correctly, and states his "observations" as facts, then he's going to get pulled up on it.

lol, I was thinking the same when I first saw the statistics he put up there.

Read the above - then look up the site you gave us, instead of just posting up a random link which you claim will give us the "truth" about your country.

I get the last laugh this time.

Love / I have a crush on a Polish boy ~ [15]

Never ask a boy out on a date, wait for them to ask you. Patience is a virtue..

Dating sites are full of childless women in their 40s who probably thought like this and "couldn't find the right man" :D

UK, Ireland / Polish is an official language in the UK? [68]

Since when did Polish have the letters " æ ", " Ỳ " and " Ù "?? lol

It is not a fake, trust me.

It may be genuine, but it's full of mistakes ;)

Polonia / Looking for Poles in Brussels, Belgium. [19]

Well I ve never lived in the UK to know about the situation there. I just compare it statisticly and by living there to rest of countries in Europe that I ve seen and I am telling you there is no comparison.

I used the link you provided to "compare it statistically" - to (as you instructed) "see the truth".

And guess what? Belgium is a lot safer than most of the world, so what on earth is this stuff about Belgian cities being the most crime-ridden in the world? It's nonsense, and everyone knows it!

FFS, London's one of the most dangerous places in Europe (and everyone knows that), but London is crime-free compared to Nairobi or Port Moresby!

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1303]

would definitely not like!

I knew it! haha :D

another question, is it normal for polatsy to boil sausages? in england we fry or grill them. my lokator tried to get me to try his boiled sausages ( and i love kielbasa ) but boiled? cant remember name of them, but they were quite big. any ideas?

I (and my family) sometimes boil Wiejska/Krakowska/Śląska, etc. But I tend to grill mine these days. Never fry them though.

Life / Please recommend - shopping in Warsaw [30]

The wrong side of the river???

They say this about my side of London as well. lmao.

as for the slums....that are around the mall is hardly a slum. that is the lower working class and elderly of Poland. not slums.

Exactly. I've been there, and it's nothing compared to the most run-down parts of England, definitely not a "slum".
