Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

its funny you say that, I was reading an article and it mentioned that whilst tofu is healthy, its not so good for people in the West simple because its not a food we are used to and dont have the enzymes to break it down, therefore too much isn't beneficial to our health.

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

I suppose its down to eating habbits and as Eurola said, the portion size, I grew up with traditional english fair and still cook - no fat in pea and ham soup, no fat in braising steak with onions, no fat in liver & onions....poached eggs instead of nasty fried food...and people in the UK eat more veggies and fresh food 20 years ago than they do now, I certainly dont remember eating anything processed when I was growing up and I can tell you now there are no processed foods in my fridge or freezer

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

15 years ago in the UK people eat better - less take-aways, less pre-packed rubbish and now look at the country, its quite funny that all the take-aways are Indian, Italian, Chinese...its not actually English food thats making us fat, English food traditionally consists of meat and 2 veg, not dissimilar to Polish food, let it be a warning to Polish people...and whilst someone might look slim and healthy on the outside, fat sticks to the arteries and thats the killer!

Love / Polish Women Versus Your Local Women ? [289]

theres many fat polish women also, dont kid yourself

I think that a lot of men on here tend to.

anyway if its true, they are probably just the ones you have met and they couldnt be bothered since you didnt either.

My thoughts exactly, probably flashed is giro money at the first inocent Polish girl he saw!

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

I don't want Poland to be "little Britain", Warsaw has resteraunts from all over the world with all sorts of cuisine so i'm sure a chippy would go down very well here.

Easy tiger it was a joke!

always fancied having an upmarket chiperia

Im sure anything you put you name to Mr B would be considered up market, even a chippy at a push :)

Since when was a chippy a restaurant?!

Harry Ramsdens (world famous I may add)

Anyway if I had money to invest in Poland it would be in a good nail salon - didnt see one in Krakow or Wraclaw - cheap as chips (pardon the pun) low overheads and you can charge (uk prices) circa. £30 for a set....wouldnt imagine there is a great deal of compatition in PL - woman are going to have more expendable income in the not too distant future start pandering to their needs...

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

There are already restrictions on non eu immigrants, not to mention a points based system being introduced next year. The gvernment has also banned unskilled immigration from outside the eu.

Now that made me laugh, because we have more and more coming from Afrian countries than ever before...people who overstay their visas, people who come to visit relatives who never go back lots of Brazillians on dodgy study visas and here is the best...when someone gets a knockback from the gov for their asylum status in the country - their benefits are withdrawn and their housing is taken away - they are not deported, so these people go underground, work illegally, probably more prone to committing crime etc., you see, whilst you have a point that there has to be a balance of how many people can come and settle in this country, maybe you should focus on those that have no right to be here......because you can be damn sure that you wont see some polish girl with 5 kids all under the age of 5 unlike Asians / Afrians ...nuf said!

People keep on focusing on the Poles - but what about the Africans that seem to be coming here by the boat load with less chance of returning to their countries and more chance of coming here with aids and thats not an ignorant statement, thats a fact.

UK, Ireland / What do Polish people think about Wales and Welsh people? [191]

They're all great ppl, and the accent is awesome;)

That must be a polish thing, the welsh accent is nearly as bad as the Birmingham accent and probably on par with a Bristol accent...

welsh are a wonderful bunch despite being unable to accept that they are just another english county

News / 10,000 ISRAELIS READY TO CLAIM FOR POLISH CITIZENSHIP AND POLISH LAND! [628]

What I meant was that according to Jewish religious law a person whose mother was Jewish is considered a Jew

She married out and most likely decided to turn her back on the Jewish faith, her son was baptised and raised in the Catholic faith - so whilst his mother may have been born into a Jewish family she gave up practicing, married out of the faith and brought her son up not as a Jew but as a catholic, so her son was not a Jew. Not that it matters, his life time experiences and his mothers views obviously came in useful in later life.

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

Why should I bothered, you seem to know more about English history, but I am assuming that you are going back a few years when we had established trading ports around the world - is this what you consider bleeding a country?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]

A good chunk of the wealth your country generates is got off exploiting resources abroad

What would that be? Im interested to know?

We should boot them out

What about the 1,000s of africans (with aids) and asylum seekers that are bleeding the country and have absolutly nothing in common with us culturally? Im not denying that this isnt a problems with the numbers of people entering the UK from A8 countries, but you seem to forget about the ones who dont really have a right to be here... and tend to take all and give nothing....

What about the Bulgarian that came to the uk and made out he was from montenegro(soz about spelling), and was an asylum seeker said he and his family paid to get in the UK..... and they got payouts of £18,000 in 6 months, not bad aye - he also got 8 months in prison and his family deported......message to all who are thinking about doing that Manchester is not putting up with :)

Now, what the net result of such a deportation would be in Poland, i can only guess, but i sure as hell hope that it would be protests and riots until wages and salaries were more commensurate with corporate profit.

So why doesnt this happen now?

I have noticed that many polish males around the mid 20's onwards seemingly lose their hair on their heads and dont have any at all???

You know what T, I have noticed that - maybe they are all destined to be baldies :)

Did anybody force you to give a bribe? You could have gone to a private clinic and you wouldn't have to bribe anybody there.

I think what you are experiancing is a cultural differance per se. Polish people don't lie more than other nationalities, just in a different way.

Now, that word 'cultural' popped in again ;-)

a friend of mine told her boss her dad had had a heart attack because she was on a final warning....now thats a whopper :)
