Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]
I don't think so. 170 cm is very tall for Polish women.
IMO females are about 170 - 175 cm

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]
From professor Lew-Starowicz. People either become pedophiles because they were in fact victims of a sexual assault in their childhood or as a result of their sick shyness, which stops them from having sexual relationships with adults. Very often the source of that situation lies in the pedophile's low self esteem and body complexes.
Pedophilia is pretty much a mental disease that should and most probably could be cured. But than again who cares about the reasons one starts being a pedophile. It's easier to castrate them I guess.
You still haven't answered my question though.
How exactly do you know that?

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]
How exactly do you know that? Most pedophiles are great examples of shyness towards the opposite sex and complexes going horribly wrong. The whole idea of chemical castration is just pure populism on Tusk's side. It's definitely not a remedy to the problems of pedophilia.
it's prevention like Bzibzioh wrote. one pedophile can destroy several people's lifes. and you can't stop pedophile from being pedophile. after being inprisoned he will walk free and do what's in his nature again and again.

I believe you Shelley. The shocking thing for me was that the supervisors were the same! I can understand the laborers not minding personal hygiene, but people of higher education and status? It made me wonder about the ol Queen you know. :)
Sad but true the further south you go the dirtier it gets - you just wouldn't get that kind of thing in Manchester ;-)

Because there were my work colleagues? To make it even worse, they were from the southern part of the island. :)

How did you know they were British construction workers, which are a rare breed today and were more likely Polish hehe

And you can see many of these examples in Poland as well e.g. at the weekend a guy came to do the artificial insemination for the dairy cows on my father-in-laws farm, and was doing the deeds with a sandwich in his mouth, taking a munch from time to time. eekkk

Magdalena, I observed something similar among British construction workers, with an exception that they didn't even bother to wet their fingertips under the water! A sink in a man's toilet on a construction site in Britain serves only as a decoration. The shocking thing for me is that it wasn't only the physical workers but the supervisors as well! And then you see them in the canteen putting bacon from their full English breakfast on their toasts with those dirty hands! Yummy! :)
I don't wanna wash me hands mum, I barely touch me anus! ;)

UK, Ireland / Britain... What the Poles did for us. [444]
The Poles have been in the UK only for four years and not four decades, so I doubt that they managed to make a great impact on the British society. On the other hand, some claim that there are 1,5 million of them currently on the island. Surely, disappearance of that many people wouldn't go unnoticed. :)

I understand your frustration. Nevertheless, I stand by what I wrote. :)
As for my list:
1. January, February, March - I love Polish weather. I like it that we actually have four seasons, but those three months are too much for me. I really wouldn't mind if spring started, lets say, in February.
2. Complaining, although to be fair, it is slowly changing.
3. Talking but not acting. That is what really drives me mad. Alas, I have to say that I'm also guilty of that trait.
Believe me, I am Polish and have spent most of my life in Poland, and I see no difference either way, except that the British authorities seem absolutely hell-bent on getting rid of their post offices altogether.

"Sorry you were out'? Ohh, that's so sweet. In Poland the notice only informes you that you have to pick up the letter at the post office.
As for Poczta Polska, well it inherited a very inefficient structure from it's communist predecessor and I doubt that they will make it once the monopoly will end in few years time.

I think Harry is right. It's high time we stopped being in denial and took responsibilities for the horrific actions of our forefathers. I think it should be initiated by our PM Tusk calling families of the victims of Polish concentration camps up with a sincere apology.

Harry, did you have the pleasure to meet Puzzler? I imagine you two would get along together very well. :)
Why the Jewish word? Could it because to you that's how all Jews always talk and because I dare to criticise Poles, I must be a Jew? Nice to see you bigotry coming through as always. Do you think you could make it through a single day without making a racist comment? Obviously that day won’t be today because you’ve already posted about how the Germans are horrible people.

Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [110]
Seksmisja isn't a hilarious comedy, but it is definitely fun to watch.
If I were to recommend someone a quality polish humor, than I would have to go with Koterskis "Dzień Świra". It's not a typical comedy, but certainly a great one. For a more lighter note I would recommend Kabaret Potem or Moralnego Niepokoju. Just keep awal from Koń Polski, Rak, Elita, Jurki, Pod Wyrwigroszem or that Ani mru mru nonsense.... :/
Seksmisja is a classic but I think u really need to know the nuances of Polish humour. I much prefer British humour, it's different for sure. I'm glad that many Poles like Monty Python.

i know what you are saying Maty, and dont know the answer. there is a gene that seems to produce a very distinct nose aparent amongst many in poland. where this gene originates i can only speculate. with a bit of luck, some clever person will tell us what we want to know

I know what you think about 2+ generation Americans who consider themselves Poles. Still I'm talking about all those Wrocław or Szczecin inhabitants who speak fluently polish but don't have to necessarily have polish blood in their veins.
As for the Polish honk, who am I to argue. I will live it to people who are more concerned with this fact. Still, I have many friend with names as Poznański, Weiss, Bluma, etc, so the Jewish gene could be responsible for this bane. Another reason fro my Polish anti-semitism. ;)
so, we are left to debate whether it is the polish gene responsible for the oversized honk or some other strain of genetics that has infultrated its way in to the polish blood line.
of course, the obvious one is jewish.
do you think many large nozled people who consider themselves 100% polish are actually of jewish decent?

As ridicules it may sound for you Bubba, you can consider yourself Polish and not exactly be the owner of "polish genes" at the same time. For example, after the end of WWII Polish eastern frontier has been shifted more to the west and few millions people made their exodus from their home land which suddenly became part of Ukraine, Lithuania or Belarus to the new established Poland. Many of them were polonaized Lithuanians, Tartars, Belarusian’s or Ukrainians. They were called "zza Buga" (Poles from beyond the Bug river). So, you don't have to have Polish genes to be polish. You can have Armenian genes for example, as myself, and still consider yourself Polish.
Rinny:
Polish people have noses associated with the genes that run in the family ,not the nation they were born
absolutely brilliant - with such logic you have got to be polish!
are you the proud owner of an over sized nose per chance?
