UK, Ireland / Recently beaten up in England by 3 Polish guys [93]
So if you know who they are and where they live, when your leg has healed go and find them 1 at a time and kick the living **** out of them. Apparently quite a lot of Polish men feel hitting a woman is acceptable when it clearly isn't.

The British Legal system is a joke they will only protect the offenders not the victim, It seems that the only way to deal with jokers like that is to take the law into your own hands.

Life / Do Polish people help one another? [40]
Generally the ones that have travelled a lot or lived outside Poland are really helpful as they seem to have absorbed some of the western european culture, The ones who havent seem to take more pride in causing problems for people than helping.

I really can't understand why you want to stay in Poland as a person coming from Sydney, I'm a brit moving to Sydney in around 6 weeks and it looks amazing.

Fair enough, The best of luck to you. The Polish authorites will probably do everything in their power to make things difficult but i'm sure all will turn out well.

Do as Harry said! I've got a friend in the UK whos with a Polish girl who appears to be around 18 stone now due to her addiction to wotsits and frankfurters (24 bags of wotsits a day and 4 or 5 jars of frankfurters) Shes an absolute spitting image of princess fiona and has the worst personality of any female i've had the misfortune to meet and keeps pestering him to get married,

Get her a plane ticket, It will be a damn sight cheaper than an engagement ring and all the bull s hit you will have to take from her in the future.

Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]
I usually do it in one go overnight and 16-17 hours seems about right, Theres also no border controls either, Make sure you have all the correct stuff in the car ie reflective jacket, spare bulbs, triangle, etc and adequate break down cover as its really expensive if something goes wrong.
Its also worth noting when driving through Germany that all your tyres must have a minimum of 3mm tread and all be the same type and brand. If the police stop you and you don't comply you will have to replace the defective tyres.
Fill up in the UK before you leave as fuel in Germany or anywhere with the euro is really really expensive.

Its definately safe to stop for fuel, They charge in Germany for using the toilets but there are rest areas with CCTV, Showers and picnic facilities all over the place,I've slept in the car there for a few hours on occasions and its perfectly safe. Also bear in mind its actually illegal to run out of fuel in Ze Fazzerland too.

Britains roads are the most crowded in Europe and we have among the lowest accident rates 4th from top for road safety.
With the amount of cars in such a small space this says to me that Brits must be fantastic drivers.

It's just an observation, I'm not trying to have a pop at you. Learning to drive is hard enough and the standards of driving over here are not great.

They are great fun to drive if you don't need to really go anywhere, With a set of wider wheels and the addition of anti roll bars they would handle quite well. I guess polish tyres don't like sitting for any length of time,
Anyway enjoy the little beast :) Have you discovered the rev counter with the LEDs yet? Its somewhere in the footwell and is connected i forgot to mention it.

UK, Ireland / Dedicated Phone Line/Data Line for remote access in Poland [7]
Get Vonage mate, I've used it for years and I pay £5.99 a month and get a little box that plugs into the router so you can plug a regular home phone into it, You also get a UK or Irish landline number so people can call you. for £5.99 you get free calls to all landlines in the EU.
It works exactly like a landline and its really clear even with our pathetic 2mb internet connection.
Go on vonage.co.uk
Its saved me a fortune over the years and even with calling mobiles a lot i pay no more than £20 per month. I'll show you the setup sometime if you like.

Australia / How to import my car to Australia from Poland? [26]
I've looked into this also and it really doesn't seem worth it, I got a quote from a UK based company to ship the car from Southampton to Sydney for 700 GBP. If your car is UK registered the easiest thing to do would be to put 12 months tax and MOT on it and obtain a Carnet du Passage from the RAC in the UK, This would costs around 500 GBP all in and allows you to drive the car in Aus on UK plates for up to 12 months which means you don't have to mess around with getting rego and the like when you get there with the vehicle. Apparently to register a eu spec car in Aus can take weeks or months and the import duty is nearly 50% of the cars value. You need to pay 400 aud when the vehicle arrives in the country for cleaning and sterilising etc.
I was told BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and the japanese cars are the easiest to get registered but i really have no idea about the US brands.
If the car means that much to you then take it but if not sell it in the UK and buy yourselves a nice soft top to enjoy the Aussie weather Thats what i'll be doing :)

Australia / How to import my car to Australia from Poland? [26]
I wish it was that easy for me, I've tried to register several cars here and the people in the registration office treat me like the antichrist so I gave up.
I'll be in Sydney from April and really can't wait, Regarding getting a car if you are going in on a 457 business visa which I am you can always sell your car here and buy another the same when you get there on finance etc or even go down the novated lease route which looks to be a good way.
Anyway good luck with your trip and i'm sure like every other expat over there you won't regret it :)

Australia / Thinking about moving to Australia [39]
Jesus Christ you are ****i ng thick!
What a typical moronic polish view on something. Poland is violent because of the idiots that live here. Aboriginal people also have nothing to do with black music, rap culture etc now shut the **** up you failed abortion.
Australia looks to be an amazing place, hence why i'm leaving to go there in a few weeks, They have excellent ski resorts between july and October and as everyone knows great beaches.
The countryside looks much more diverse than the baron, flat peasant infested polish countryside where they still farm by hand and eat their young and you can go from surfing in the sea to skiing in the mountains within a matter of hours.
That guide of the cost of living was excellent, thanks for that :) Rent in sydney looks to be quite expensive though 400 - 500 pw for anything decent.
The main thing that worries me is all the deadly animals and insects there but I would much rather die being eaten by a great white shark surfing in Aus than by getting hit my some moron here in Poland who thinks is Daewoo/Skoda can break the land speed record in the moddle of the city.
