Life / Poles are not racist [873]
Yeah, when somebody hasn't got any strong arguments, then reaches for argument of strenght...
One stupid cleaner isn't the representative of all the other Poles. My Scottish workmate told openly to me that he dislikes Pakistanis, so does it mean that all the Scottish folks, including you UK-, are racists ?
f...k you

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]
OK, Tyskie.
Where are those times gone, when even small towns had their own breweries ? Before the II WW, for instance, there were breweries in Opole, Grodków (however those towns were still within German Reich). It's a pity that those factories lay in ruins now.

Yeah, and I have red that they don't take any criticism about their system (that takes most of your salaries away from you :/, taxes there are amongst the higher ones in the world)

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]
It's not cool at all. I moved out of Poland to find a job here. I would rather stay at home, but I just thought it's better to move to GB and work for little money and learn some English (of course I'm looking for a better job all the time), than stay in Poland, work for a little money and get more and more frustrated with lack of perspectives there.

Okay, then name these mistakes correctly. You're a Polish teacher, and I'm just a grumbling engineer after all :P

It's the easiest way to deal with things by having a chip on your shoulder. You seem to me as a person who would never admit she commited a mistake. You call everybody 'grumbling just for grumbling' instead. I admit - I was wrong thinking you were a Polish teacher. Sorry for the offence.
PS. Regardless of your remarks I still think you're doing a good job by teaching Polish to non-Polish.
Bartolome out.

Life / Winter in Poland? [161]
But anyway, I could literally observe revolution of winter in Poland - when I was a schoolboy, winters there were severe and full of snow, even rivers were freezig over, so that you could skate on them. Now, winters are rather wet and much warmer - snow is able to last for several days until it melts down due to temperatures above zero Celsius. But often in the end of January and in February, and also March temperatures tend to fall preety low below zero, with only little amounts of snow, so it becomes really nasty then. I just add that I live in the South-Western part of Poland.

I don't have anything to prove. I'm just referring to his constant stressing that he's a good muslim and to constant pouring scorn on Poles by him. I just think there's some contradiction in it, isn't it ?

Life / Poland's Environment, recycling [79]
The community I live in in Poland, recycles glass, paper and plastic, as well as ''large'' rubbish (i.e. old tellys, fridges, etc). We're very often visited by private scrap metal collectors (''zlomiarze'' :)). There's been also a sewage system being introduced (very slowly, however), so that the people won't have to collect their waste water and sewage in cesspits (many of them without bottom, so dirty water soaks in soil and possibly contaminates groundwater), and I hope that it'll improve water quality in our local rivers.

Well, perhaps one of the reasons is he doesn't want to face his own or/and his wife's family - after all he left his spouse, let alone for a foreigner, what in Poland may be still a cause for a massive condemnation.
Some time ago (two years or something), there was introduced a law in Poland, that forbids prosecuting for partner's debts (I don't know whether it applies in that case, though). I'm not an expert, but I guess that she can go back to Poland without any fear for being prosecuted.

would his wife be able to go back and work/live in Warsaw? Would she be 'hit' for earnings he's made here in the uk? Are there 'spous' laws?
