Work / NO JOBS IN POLAND FOR ENGLISH PEOPLE EXCEPT TEACHING? [44]

Lol - I've done that in my time, and learnt quickly - Poles love to exploit. I might offer a trial at 70 per cent of fixed price - but free? Too busy for time wasters, especially any schools.

Interesting stuff from InWroclaw about 30 zl an hour for teaching being the norm in Wroclaw. Not boasting - but the facts are that if you can actually teach, then three times that figure per hour is achievable. Here in Tri-City at any rate.

Wroclaw Boy - the Warsaw Voice used to be a useful source of news. Now it is just Reuters' news. I still don't think, unfortunately, that the stubborn Polish government will listen to sense on this subject :(

You don't understand how European law works.

Poland will opt out of this ruling and refuse to accept the ruling. And pay the penalties.

According to the European Commission the refusal of Poland to accept RHD has nothing to do with safety concerns.

I happen to agree with the Commission - as Poland has had only 20 odd years to play with driving without fuel restrictions and with access to all vehicles - and consequently Polish safety "experts" now sweet fukk all in terms of how RHD would affect the statistics.

It;s Polish protectionism rearing it's ugly head again. what would the mechanic cottage industries do if people could import cheaper high range British cars for those who can afford the relatively high fuel costs.

And changing RHD to left hand is potentially hazardous in quite a few cars - ask any mechanic. Car fires are not uncommon.

Subarumad - your vids are over the top mate :) but wait until you see your first dead body. I've lived here for 21 years and I've seen 7 or 8 separate incidents - ranging from people strangely lying immobile on the road with their eyes open and seemingly just a bruise , to the full works with decapitated mish mash.

You're right about one thing - some Poles are the worst egotistical drivers, out-doing the supposedly mad Italians.
But don't bother yourself - you will get used to it. These people will never drive sensibly until they are banned - which simply does not happen here.

To get to 24 points you would need to kill somebody. As to dangerous drivers - If you were to challenge them further down the road they would have absolutely no clue as to why you are threatening them with violence :)

Or jargon translated - Poland is breaking European import laws, so will have to pay penalties. Which they will - just to save the "car" industry in Poland - where people pay 15 thousand zlotys for an old wreck at a car lot - you really couldn't make it up.

Poland won't accept it - they will simply opt out and the pay the European Commission fines for doing so. Just as the French break European law by refusing our English sausage :))

Really? Do you want photos? Are you a parent? Walk into any school.

There are horseshoe table arrangements, yes. That's about as far as it goes. Teamwork is de rigeur in UK schools and has been for years. Poles don't grasp this as a rule.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

McDouche is making a valid generalism about the Polish educational system. But anybody who has taught in it and doesn't have their head buried in the sand will concur.

Of course people are stifled creatively because of the traditional way of teaching in schools. It's called control, with desks set in lines, of two desks together, as in the 1960's in Britain.

This is just so wrong :((

If it wasn't ao laughable I would give it :))

Maybe like Polmos vodka from Poznan or Bielsko et al, Kerrygold is sourced from all over? Meaning, it' s not always the same although the brand is homogenous.

There are exceptions to the rule Tamarisk. A garage mechanic once interrupted his family Sunday lunch to tow my car to his garage in Tychy and spend 3 hours labouring over it, to finally concede defeat and do a temp botch job to get me en famille back to Kato in 40 degrees of heat.

The Brits in the typical village today would have called the police or come out with a shotgun if you knocked on their door asking for help on a Sunday afternoon.


Mcdouche - I concur. We have to appreciate though that the good people of this country, in their fight against communism and totalarinism, (edit lol I hate it so much I can't even spell it) and I include Pilsudski in that, have been brainwashed by this nasty nationalistic belief that some diocese have that masquerades as catholicism. IMO

I have lost track of the number of times I have engaged with academics and even a couple of renowned southern Poland practioners of the 500 strong medical council, as well as members of the chamber of commerce, who have readily come out with bile which in a normal society would get them on incitement to stir up racial hatred.

They have been brainwashed by their clergy sadly, spitting forth that filth.

Kerrygold is plastic rubbish if ever you tried trad British cheddar. I would say it's better than nowt, but I wont. Processed muck.

Life / Public Masturbation now allowed in Sweden, Would this work in Poland? [43]

I Ihave to report that a couple of weeks back, before the woman in Tommy Hilfigger gear incident, dog caught some bod who was taking rather long if all he was doing was ******* in the forest in full view of moraine valley houses. I gave the geezer the benefit of the doubt, but as Warsawski pointed out on another thread, dog knows a willy wonker when he spots one.

I kid you not, he nipped him on the wonger - the dog did the biting, not the man. He was clearly a plonker, because he retreated up the hill still adminstering to his front end.

Three showers and carbolic soap in the muzzle later, I let the dog back into the living room. For a couple of nights I slept with the bedroom door locked just in case he had got a taste for it.


Hang on - that must have been a very small bush - a bird in the hand and all that. I wasn't able to find any bushes on the Southbank back in the eighties. But I hear other bushes are back in vogue.

I was right! You are a merchant banker Warsawski! I am an expert at assessing people! :)) But I wonder what you do for a living - we can only conjecture.

Law / Laws on walking a dog in Polska [67]

That's all very interesting Slawek - I would have thought the law can be interpreted as:

Dogs are not allowed to be taken into the forest for non licensed hunting purposes - aka - they are hunting breeds and trained as such.

Dogs must not be encouraged or permitted to freely hunt aggressively as their breed inclines them to do.

Both the above are obvious to anybody with half a brain-lobe.

I do not include some bint in this who has gone shopping in the Klif in Sopot and decided to go walking in the forest in 3,000 zlotys of sports wear. That's her choice - but she can't complain when a sociable lab puppy plants his grubby paws on her legs when she approaches us when we are playing catch and retrieve.

If foresters went around will-nilly shooting old ladies' dauchshounds for going down fox holes or young city boys' Spaniels for plunging into forest lakes full of (non-existent) wildlife then we would have social civil war on our hands.

The report you post is useful, but the public need some CLEAR direction as to the law - posted at the edge of the forest - and then cows like this woman I met can know that they don't own the forest by spouting rightfully outmoded law and threatening my dog with gas.

Thank you ;))

Yes, but try telling that to the Kings and Queens of England. Wasn't it that BBC documentary series on the dynasties that brought the publics' attention to the fact that the nobilty in the Middle Ages were dying in their thirties through liver failure, through eating too much game?

I wish the same on those viilagers I mentioned, who think nothing of trapping these beasts, over-bred pests though they be. (the villagers and the deer)

It's too late Harry - the dog is stuffed and mounted, and I suggest that Peterweg goes and gets the same :)
