Love / What to answer to the Most annoying phrase that EVERY and EACH polish girl always says? [58]

I don't know why, but it drives me crazy!

yep, indeed mate!!! why say that everytime I wonder? It's like depressing! the kinda look I give them- *I am sorry for you* lol

yes... anyway... thank you for your confirmation ;)

you might have even noticed that after sometimes they don't say it again! It depends how close they become to you!

to be honest, sometimes I am so used to talk with some mates and like- i flipping do many mistakes like they do, just because been hanging out too much with them without correcting them!

Love / What to answer to the Most annoying phrase that EVERY and EACH polish girl always says? [58]

hahahaha damn true! but ive heard some other annoying phrases: 'Life is brutal/cruel' but yeah 90% do say that their English is bad. But come on doesn't matter so much, although sometimes, people should actually downgrade their level of English (using very simple and direct words/sentences) for them to feel comfortable. I've been with some mates out and seen that the girls were like 'what did he just say?' .... just lowering your English skills would actually make things better and have a good convo!

try that next time! for me it works perfectly and goes down well! because atleast they tried to speak another language. so , no disrespect to them!

News / The lottery of life: Where to be born in 2013. Poland ranks 33 out of 80. [23]

Would your parents have wanted your country of birth to have been like Nigeria in terms of infrastructure, life expectancy, crime rates, literacy etc?

Ok, for that I would say no! neither me nor you would want our kids to be born in Nigeria! It's not only about luck its about how worthy you make you like become! The choice is always on the person! You could be living in Switzerland but choose to become a hacker or you could be living somewhere in the slums in India but choose to be an actor or a professional! well the fact also depends on the opportunities you get to give it a go! So luck is not really the bottom line of things.

I wouldn't say that, I just can't seem to find what you mean to be saying...

What i am trying to say mate is that, the article/table is misleading given all the points ive outlined earlier! Like I said, there are other countries which should have been on that list and could well be placed 50th or below! Ok, should Greece still be on that list? :O mmmmmmm

Life / sweet words to use in Poland with shopkeepers [14]

With such an aproach you won't make many friends.

i am not there to make 'friends' and I just want to know that because, i see them everyday and they are like my grandmum's age!!

They are in work, you're strangers to each other, and you are supposed to be served quickly at the till to make other people wait less.

Sorry, no disrespect to anyone- but that sounds like 'customer services' in Poland is NIL, pecially customers you see on a daily basis!
I am not there neither to flirt nor to make friends- ohh come on why you think with a close mind....

For the love of god stop be so Polish :)

Paczkę fajeczek, droga Pani, i zapałeczki.

thank you guys! ;)

Life / sweet words to use in Poland with shopkeepers [14]

Happy new year to all! I wanted to know about some sweet wordies to use in the shops around with some local people.

What I mean is that, all the places in UK, you will find shopkeepers being friendly- like: 'hello mate', 'hello honey', 'good morning sweetheart', 'morning local fella', or something like this to be used around the town....

I have seen it that Poles accept only Polish jokes as of now because of there historical thing which comes out first when they say why ain't so much developed but to be honest they ain't a muslim country or whatsoever not to take such a warm welcoming 'hello' from a customer! no one is going to to 'fist a nanny in her vag'! it's just out of politeness! I don't know much Polish! But just you know try to be nice to some grannies who sell me out me fags and some other things on a daily basis!

bottom line: let me know some cute nice polish sentence i can say in a shop to make the shopkeeper feel easy- pecially if uve lived in britain for a while u would know what i mean! Ain't British btw!

cheers!

News / The lottery of life: Where to be born in 2013. Poland ranks 33 out of 80. [23]

You made a point about GDP in various countries. However, this does not necessarily translate into a better quality-of-life for its citizens which is what The Economist survey addressed. Therefore you are not comparing like with like.

Thank you! Therefore, it doesn't mean that a kid born in Nigeria, for example, will have better life opportunities ahead. Because this thing is biased. What are the exact bases used to calculate these figures?

The Economist has been around since mid 1800's. It is a well respected publication and you can be sure people working at the World Bank do indeed read it on a regular basis. I don't see what benefit they could get from being biased.

That does not mean that they are 100% trust worthy! News needs to be sold mate- like hot cakes! There is not a better way to kickstart the year with some 'partially' biased info!

In corrupt societies the greasy palms always come out on top.

ahhh! so you see again! I am 101% sure that Nigeria is much more corrupt than the Seychelles & Mauritius! You can't deny that!

SOL is much more better in Mauritius than in Nigeria!

News / The lottery of life: Where to be born in 2013. Poland ranks 33 out of 80. [23]

To be honest! this list is very very biased!! because of the omission of many countries! the globe doesn't consists only of 80 countries! Come on, I can find 10 countries better than Nigeria to have better life opportunities instead of getting into a gang and get yourself killed! No offence! But it's true!! a quote from one paragraph from the link on top: "Among the 80 countries covered, Nigeria comes last: it is the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013." so what happens to the rest of the other countries? A country like Seychelles and Mauritius dominates Africa. Yet nowhere to be heard despite having a positive growth year by year.

Look at the stats of Seychelles: a GDP of $11,170/ capita and of Nigeria: $1,490/capita, Mauritius: $8,654/capita...

Ease of doing business published by the World Bank (that directly implies that there would be investors seeking to invest in these countries as it's easier and could be in a way 'cheaper'- so what is this paragraph talking about in the original article:-

''Warren Buffett, probably the world's most successful investor, has said that anything good that happened to him could be traced back to the fact that he was born in the right country, the United States, at the right time (1930). A quarter of a century ago, when The World in 1988 light-heartedly ranked 50 countries according to where would be the best place to be born in 1988, America indeed came top.'' if there is investment in an economy then there is more chance to it moving to the right direction..

doingbusiness.org/~/media/GIAWB/Doing%20Business/Documents/Annual-Reports/English/DB13-full-report.pdf

Page 3!

Again, from the World Bank report: this chart shows how well these countries they are doing.

Yes, many might argue that I have no point here, but to be honest the article published by Economist Intelligence is either talking about those kids who will have no burden to pay the countries debt, as 'implied' in paragraph 8 or it's just b*llsh*tting around..

I am not an Economist or Accountant or whatsoever, but to be honest, 'Economist Intelligence' should have been much more clearer when they realise an article and outline everything as other bodies of Statistics.

Law / Fast divorce in Poland? [9]

Wot???????? even if both parties saying that its a mutual decision and no sueing or neither of us wants to claim damages?

Because my visa expires in February next year, so by the time my divorce case will be pending, I will probably have no chance to find other way to renew my VISA!

Law / Stay in Poland after Divorce- Yes or No? [5]

Griff, thanks mate! I appreciate what you wrote, but for me it concerning visa problem actually.

Sally- fortunately, I don't have a baby with that woman.. But I am just employed full time here, with a 'permanent' contract in an American company, so I cannot study as I do not have time to be honest.

However, is there anyway to be divorced and still stay here?

Because as it turns out, she has been cheating on me and I am not in a situation to stay with a woman who has been cheating on me and will still have sex with her bf. And I think I am forced to use divorce as an option.

Law / Stay in Poland after Divorce- Yes or No? [5]

Hi all.

Been through hard times recently, and I would like to know if ever I divorce my wife, will I still be able to stay in Poland when my Karta Pobytu expires next year? I have been surfing through some websites recently and I could not find anything. I am neither in a situation to afford legal advise.

I do work here and I am able to afford a living. So I am not a lazy man just sitting idle and just drinking. Just to let you know why I want to divorce from my wife, its because I caught her cheating on me. And she had a affair with a man since more than 4 weeks. I do have proof for that. and she even admitted that to me when we had a fight last week.. Today she moved out with her bf..

i'd appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

I think- polish food is blend and simply and doesnt really have a 'good look'.
no offence but its true though! although man needs to put a lot of effort in cooking it.

for me personally, i think Mediterranean cuisine is the best....Most of the times I prefer to stick oven food instead of eating polish food.

Love / My Polish bf cheated on me with a black girl [45]

well said! there are many people like this in Africa! Try to open an email in your junk box and see!

I just found out that he was talking to this black girl on line

I think you are being too possessive and you are restricting ur bf to too many things! Of course he will feel suffocated! Same as I! My relationship is boring now because of these things, and I would not mind if I get the chance to cheat on my girl. Come on just be open minded.

Which you aren't here!!! Your man just talked to someone online and you are making a big deal out of it! Out of anger he might have said something- I want to go to Africa.

I talk to girls I dont even know and they are 000's miles away from Poland, but still my girl has the guts to tell me that I am sleeping with her or something, so when i am pissed off, of course ill say yes, i am going to brazil to meet her or something like this!

So you got the point I hope! And yeah, FYI, I am not white nor black.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]


I am very sorry to hear that. Hope your family got over it sooner as predicted! Well, I have to agree that polish people are still way back from being linked with the life in the 21st century! The world of football is so closed minded! Well after reading few points here, I have to say that I declare myself out of supportig Poland this time out! Better go with the Hitlers- as polish football fans are still deluded about hitlers and jews! f that! RETARDED! yes I said it! And on top I have seen police of Krakow when the League winner's fans were celebrating in Krakow! They are just scared... Well from some sources I do hear that they are corrupted! Its a shame! total SHAME

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

Bieganski
Its for some idiots to understand! Where have this term been considered racial if you are saying something not abusive?

What for? In fact Platini knows better than you. He visited Poland many times during last 4 years and even earlier. Are you intolerant to Polish people?

Yes that does not mean if someone visited any country they would allow them to prepare for attacks to the visiting fans. He came here to assess the place and not on holiday. And yes they should be excluded if its found that Polish fans are racially abusive towards fans and players. As elsewhere in Europe, clubs, the fans, the locals and the businesses don't like people who are still retarded. huh still doing pretending to be Hitler in the 21st century where Germans are even not talking about this anymore. Is there any worse word to describe retarded? Because this is what seems to be! It applies to some section of the fans! Not the whole lot of Poland. Especially football fans!

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

Well, as we all know that the Euro is approaching but there are concerns about security for foreigners; especially coloured and black people. I was just watching a documentary on BBC and it shows how some Polish football fans are RETARDED, still living in Hitlers era despite being in the 21st century. Well I won't talk about Ukraine here as this is polishforum.

But its absolutely disgusting to host such an event but not sorting out security of travelling fans. And I noticed that politicians are more concerned about that dead fella in the plane crash rather than sorting out future problems which will affect the country as a whole, not just in football but in every single thing. Even Germans don't talk about Hitler and Jews than Polish people do.

I think Platini (UEFA President) did a mistake by letting these beautiful countries but with a lot of retarded fans host this event which is going to be watched by billions of people around the globe. Fans are not attending football matches just because of this thing which Eastern European football is famous about- RACISM!!!

Do you think that if Poland is involved in racism and abuse during this EURO they should be banned from participating in EURO and World Cup and other sports or just never to host any International Sporting event? Or worse? As Michel Platini is not the man who will tolerate such things. He might even impose that Polish football teams not to participate in any Champions League or Europa League tournaments.

There are many countries which banned football and other sporting events around the globe just because of discrimination, racism and religious abuse.

Should your govt take more action in this Euro tournament and everyday life concerning racism rather than still mourning on someone who is dead since last year?

NB: I am not abusing anyone nor being racist but I am just talking about 'Life in the 21st century''. So I expect no racism comment underneath nor abusing any one commenting on here!

Cheers

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

hate that dog sh*t

yes me too! every morning you get up and go for s short walk, you will see people less than dog ****!! i dont know why these people dont clean it up after that! its absolutely disgusting!!

2. billing system- hate the way the bills are made! its prepaid on an assumption basis! hahaha! the most stupid system I've ever seen on earth.. trying to use tax system for bills and ''council tax''

3. Can't praise any other women if you are married. Like Asian countries were before! lol

4. the roads are abs sugar!

5. public cannot raise their voice. there is a sugar factory next to my house which gives bad smell everytime and its situated in a residential area but still people just take it on the chin, bow there head down and move their arse!

6. the way old people interferes in your personal matter!!

7. transport facilities- this is a disgrace- railways are not secured just open to anything/anyone and from Torun to Krakow 2 ways is 200PLN!! omg! people barely work for 1000PLN a month!

8. wastage of resources: like one of our friend said earlier that recycling should be encouraged on a larger scale. Poland is resourceful! they have things which could be used not only in summer but even in winter if more budgets is allocated to the national R&D department. 23% VAT yet poor living standard, poor govt services, ill mannered staffs.......

I still have more but they are not coming now! lol! I dont like these thing but as the water didnt reach my nose level yet I'll be here! once they reach there... I'll find a solution!

Merged: What to visit in Krakow?

Hi, I am going to Krakow for 2 nights! the first day will be over due to travel and a job fair! I have Sunday from 10am to lets say 10pm! I wanted to know what I can visit in minimum money! I don't know much about that City! I think one 12 hours is enough to visit most of the places in the City as it can't be bigger than Paris which we visited in less than 12 hours when we went there last August!

thank you!
