Off-Topic / WB's body building and general fitness thread [97]

Erm cheers Jon............. i suppose. Couple of insults, couple of praises - i catch your drift mate.

business guy who has been messed around by his employ from time to time

It was basically a couple of Polish guys working for me who really messed things up and gave me such head aches.

My care for the people warrior status was beaten out of me

This is an interesting statement, ive known of a lot of people who gradually swing more to the political right with age.......and wisdom. Cant see it happening to me but still.

Classifieds / Any concrete offers for IT jobs in Lublin, Poland? [14]

Don't forget that Polish professionals in the uk are highly valued for their work ethic and commitment.

Not any more, its the Romanians and the Bulgarians now. The Poles have become some what selective, and in my line of work i find them bringing their Polish work ethics to the work place more and more.

If a young man comes to the uk from Poland he will have less family and social commitments,

What you basically need as an employer is somebody who's tasted poverty or better yet trying to escape poverty, these guys work and work. Gotta love capitalism.

Canned vegetables are packed with salt like most canned foods.

The only canned food i eat regularly are tomatoes for my pasta sauce. I never eat frozen or canned veg, can't stand it. I try to buy organic free range meat, not the typical supermarket stuff. Chocolate is my problem, love the stuff.

Never eat a farm raised fish as they are horrible for you.

Yeah you got to be careful about a lot of this mass produced crap.

UK, Ireland / British guy refused work because of Polish workers [39]

Conversely, I wonder just how many POLISH guys have ever been refused work by BRITISH aka English workers.

In Poland though, British workers in Poland refusing Polish workers work in their own country. Thats the level playing field.

Could that be a legacy of Communism?

Communism, Germany, the UK, Ohh wait the US sold Poland to Stalin. Its basically NOT the fault of Polish people and their value system at all. According to almost all Poles.

It's true of some Poles, but probably more of Poles in Poland than abroad.

I might have agreed with that 6 years ago but not today. I live in a city where 1 in 10 is Polish, all immigrants. We have the Poles of Poland here, by the thousand. Their miserable rude faces in the Polish shops, their arrogance driving, the contempt of living in a foreign country whilst they secretly believe they are superior. The scams, the never ending cues at the Doctors surgery for their runny noses. The loud talking on their mobile phones, their belief that they're saving the British economy.

Their children will be fine as they will be indoctrinated with the benefits of British culture. But the parents are a nightmare. Much worse than the Poles in Poland, because they are not in Poland.

I said "Poles have a terrible work ethic", not what you said i said Atch. Thats a misinterpretation.

I'm afraid that's the worst kind of British ignorance/arrogance, which thankfully is rare enough.

Another misinterpretation to make your argument stronger, I'm well aware of Britain's bloody heritage thank you. I suggest you re-read my OP though and the comparisons i made with other countries too.

You will find it extremely hard to find a more well balanced, fair individual than me.

Quite simply I'm not employing any more Poles, the Birts who i work with and deal with on a daily basis are far better. When i have to deal with Poles now I'm like "ohh for fcuk sake here we go again, another 20 minute wait". Ive had two Poles work for me and they were both equally crap in their own exclusive ways. Its difficult finding good, reliable, honest employees.

What you've been fiddling the system with a pretend bad back for 11 years. That's precisely what I'm talking about.

At the end of the day Wulkan Brits have way superior genetics to Poles. Just look at our history in comparison to yours. Look at our economy in comparison to yours. Look at where you and millions of other Polish people have chosen to live. Look at your neighbours Germany and how powerful their country is in comparison to yours.

The Czech Republic to the South. You and your ilk are about 30 years behind the evolutionary curve of the more superior humans. Take Polish religious values as the perfect example.

Look at your job, a factory night shift machine operator.....Look at the level of intelligence of Poles on this very forum in comparison to non Poles.

Polish racial values....another sign of lack of intelligence.

why don't you for a change look for the right people for the job?

Wow genius. Dude theres a hell of a lot of lying cheating, scumbags out there who say and do anything to get a job. It takes a while to get to know somebody, to see if they can actually do the job.

Ever heard about assimilation?

I lived in Poland for 6 years bud. Ive witnessed the general standard of the Polish work force. So yeah i know exactly what you're talking about, most Poles don't have a friggen a clue as they have terrible work ethics. A week off for a runny nose, two days in bed for a temp over 39. Poor driving skills, lack of concentration, inability to think on their own. Its a long list.

Tell you what the Poles in this country are serioulsy going down hill, im advertising for a job at the moment and the Poles are not representing very well. Honestly ive had such bad experiences with them, im not prepared to take on another one anyway. One of the buggers crashed one of my motors. Add the usual lies, schemes and scams, im sick of it. Just cant get the staff. Had a bloody Bulgarian agency worker the other day he was even worse.

Aha, they do look pretty good.

They're not mine mate, that's Tom Hardy. His traps are freaky...especially in comparison to the rest of his body.

I was basically just eating boiled eggs and boiled veg with the occasional KFC three piece meal and all that. I really struggle with diet. Whats your favourite Polish food?

Life / Best area to live in Lower Silesia, Poland? Property in a countryside. [33]

I dont think Dolnoslaskie is classed as Poland B. I love that part of Poland, if i ever live in Poland again it would probably that area...again. Plenty of diversity, more favourable climate than other areas, near to Czech republic and Germany, mountains....and of course Wroclaw. I really like the city of Klodzko, shame it has so much poverty.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Democracy is overrated. So is freedom.

We don't have true democracy or freedom.

If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it. If you think you're free, try going somewhere without money.

Life / Snow in Poland, where is it? [22]

I used to use the ski resorts of Zieleniec and Czarna Gora a bit as they were quite near me, they're both only about 600 meters up to just over a 1000, so they cant have any snow at all. My old house was 165 meters above sea level and that hasn't seen hardly any snow for years. When we lived there i had to dig a trench to get the the firewood outside.

Life / Snow in Poland, where is it? [22]

I lived in Poland from late 2005 till early 2011. I remember the first winter temperatures of when i lived there reaching as low as -36, it was Jan18th & 19th 2006. That first year the snow didn't thaw till late March. Every year i lived there it was cold in the winter with consistent temps of below freezing, I remember two winters of temperatures being no warmer than -5 for three weeks consecutively. From what i can gather there hasn't been snow on the ground for longer than about 5 days in Dolnoslaskie since i left in 2011. People I speak to who still live in Poland keep saying "ohh we've been fortunate this winter".

I look at weather a lot and i haven't seen colder than -8 for 5 years in Wroclaw. We had - 12 / - 16 almost every year when i lived there. Am i fcuking nuts or is the weather in Poland much warmer? Wheres the snow?

From BBC News...

Ha the BBC reports that in friggen Poland but completely ignored the 50,000 marching through central London last year opposed to austerity. If it suits BBC's agenda it makes the national news...

hopefully more than handful of people will actually show up. People tend to feel powerless in situations like this and take on the 'not my problem' and the "theres nothing we can do anyway" attitude. It takes a lot to get people out on the streets protesting.

It is plainly sad how the french just handed over the keys of their country to the Muslims.

whats painfully sad is how easily you are manipulated by media and plain ignorance.

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

Being a drug addict is not the norm.

That depends on your definition of drug addict, ALL smokers are drug addicts, ALL people who regularly use drugs illegal or otherwise are by definition drug addicts.

Normal by your definition is what the media tells you, what is really normal?
