I'm reading in Gazeta Wyborcza that 721 polish dogs and 146 cats imigrated to UK this year so far - legally, with passports and chips! - just sharing!
The growth is rapid - even in 2004. into Ireland did not come any Polish dog or cat, and to the United Kingdom only six cats and four dogs.
The owners bring their four-legged animals, because both they and their pets are missing each other. Kinga Ratkiewicz has been with her parents in Aberdeen from the two years. Her dachshund Capri was in Poland with her grandmother. - At first she did not want to eat or go outside. We would arrive home, she was offended by us - she says. In the end, two months ago, Capri also moved to Scotland.
Poles decide to take pets, even though the procedure is time-consuming and costs a thousand to several thousand zloty - depending on the size of the pet and the type of transport. Entering the islands the animal must have implanted a chip and a special passport. It must be vaccinated against rabies and have confirmation from the National Veterinary Institute, that the vaccine worked. Just before leaving it gets deworming preparations and against ticks.

Law / Form of Polish Driving Licence [14]
Any driver can check his/her record at your local police station with some prove of identity. I'm not sure you can check someone else record.
There is a point system and the ultimate maximum is 24 points (20pts for younger drivers). For having no seatbelts on there is just 3 points penalty that goes onto your record. Police cars have access to database as well, if not they do make a call to check you out.

Going to UK with kids doesn't necessery mean they are to stay there forever. Thay are maybe - hadrd to believe? - good parents who go abroad to save some hard cash and plan to go back home and build themselves a palace (typical) lol Can you imagin parents leaving kids in Poland just to satisfy their greed? That would be socially unaceptable.

Language / Polish or any Slavic language key to any other Slavic languages? [126]
Polish could be a key to other languages I think. I have never studied Russian or Ukrainian but I do watch Russian Tv occasionally and suprisingly to myself I figure I could understand a lot if stayed focused. The same must be with other Slavic languages. So If you know one it would be rather easy to undestand other ones. I would say just in days one could be getting some serious understandig :). Now SPEAKING other language is anothere level probably.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]
The smiles themselves are 80% fake in english language speaking world and should be called grinning BUT the cultural ridding on a horse of "positive attitude" gives the english language culture smiling. It's not that the English keep smiling it is that they keep thinking about places they are not in yet. It's like being in a car and not THERE yet but happy about going forward. haha

Here's an authentic quote for you:
ty kurwa huju ablo dziwko kurwa taki kurwa kozak jesteś to pokasz swoją morde a nie oceniasz innych nie pokazując swojego ryja napewno masz jakiśkurwa przeszczek zk slimaka
Note: "zk" is an abreviation and should be: "z kurwa"
Spierdalaj is stronger then spierdzielaj.
Spierdzielaj could originate from pierdzieć = fart, -ing
Spierdalaj root is in fuck, -ing
Spierdalaj remains more popular. Google gives 170 000 results for spierdalaj wheras spierdzielaj gets only 2600
You can almost get away using spierdzielaj. Not many would/should feel offended. Spierdalaj is rather reserved for situation where a stronger statement is required.
Kind of like FUCK OFF vs FART OFF

FISZ,
I've tried Bosman. It's ok. I can get it where I live but still would stick to cold Zywiec.
I'm truely enjoying the first one on a really hot day like today - can take half glass at one time easy on day like we had today (it was 25 C - which is kind of hot for this time of a year)

Study / Living in POZNAN in the Eskulap dormitory - big deal? [47]
Hello,
I'm not a big fan of Poznan and I have spent some years living there. I used to have a girlfriend who lived back then in Esculap and although she was a law student she shared room with medical students. All I want to tell you is ... medical students have shit loads to study ... I mean REALLY a LOT of memorizing etc. Poznan? Not green enough for me and too tidy but has some cheap airlines out of town and Berlin with lots of air trafic is few hours away so one can often get changes of scenery for no huge price.
