Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

Gnoju is a classic swear word. Skurwesen is very strong. Pierdolnienta also

That'd probably suit many Scots just fine. Don't even work? Hehehe, yeah right sunshine!! The English moan left, right and centre about any darned thing. Braveheart showed that u had the superior numbers but we still came close to tanning ur hides. We have every reason to be proud of our country. London, u r even disliked by most of your fellow English

Do u c urself as more of an American or as a Pole?

News / The New World Order and Poland's place [50]

"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". I seem to recall it was Lord Acton who said this. Poland's place in the New World Order is just like that of many other countries, subservient and redundant unless they can prove their worth in some way. Both Russia and America have shown their preferences for hegemony.

It looks like Londonguy is off to play the skin flute after all. Americans and many other nations love the bagpipes. It is an amazing instrument. It isn't Scottish in origin but we have successfully adopted it. It's associated with us internationally.

Yup, that satisfies my question, thx

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

OK, what is the criteria for being a 3rd world country? Poland is way above that.

A referendum would at least accommodate any potential change in tide. Denmark had 3 or 4 referendums I think. It is a classic democratic tool but the govt are not gonna use it any time soon

Manuel (Andrew Sachs) is a legend!! The 'on those trays' sketch was priceless. Unos, dos, tres (sorry for my Spanish). The parts for Manuel were so cleverly written. Ole!! Viva L'Espana for Manuel

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

It is strange that a lot of Poles confess to being racist, of their own admission. As I said b4, it stems from the older generation.

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

MISS list 1) Butteries, other parts of Scotland say rowies. Crispy or puffy, both are great

2) Irn-Bru, Poland has Oranżada but it's just not the same, good as it is

3) Colman's mustard, the Poles have some great mustards but not Colman

4) Macaroni cheese

5) The golf courses

6) Match of the Day

7) Macaroon

8) Oor Wullie

9) Worcestershire sauce and salt and vinegar crips. Crisps generally

10) Scampi and fresh haddock

Let's blame that on the make-up artists. Anyway, Mel Gibson isn't even Scottish.

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

Fish and chips, the stuff of legends. The links courses are a joy to play. Aberdeen Kings Links is a good course, a bit too open but still challenging. The course in Inverness looks classy. I'd love to play Balgownie or Murcar, they are top notch courses with some very famous names behind them, Jack Nicklaus being just one. Tom Watson once commented on how much he enjoyed playing at Balgownie. The Americans have a great appreciation for golf in Scotland. I imagine Troon and Carnoustie would be hellish tough. I guess one difference is that we don't have quite as many greens with electrifying pace which is good. No Kiawah Island stuff

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

A recent report has said that Poland has more golf courses than Scotland. I tried telling the writers that fields and pitch/putt doesn't count but they wouldn't believe me.

Australian American. What's wrong with make-up and skirts? Does it arouse u south of the border? hehehe

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

The best vodka is probably Chopin vodka although I personally recommend Pan Tadeusz. It depends on where u r based on England but it should be quite easy to get ur hands on

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

That'd be spiritus, not vodka. Vodka here is the same, strength-wise, 40%. Germany will have a fair bit of Polish vodka. Stripping and running around the place can happen through beer, believe me, I've seen people do it

Love / The age of consent in Poland is only 15 [147]

I agree with shewolf. It's all well and good giving States individual law-making powers but when they don't lead to convergence with other States then there's incongruence. I found the same when I was looking at the death penalty which is by no means uniformally applied. The point remains that academic arguments are just that and reality will always show that girls/boys have sex just as they enter teenage. Nobody in their right mind could propose a police sex patrol, hehehe. 'Ah, good evening ma'am, I was just wondering if ur daughter was being boned by a minor tonight.' 'Hmm..let me go and check 4 u officer.' AIN"T gonna happen!!

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

They like it just like women from other countries do. There may be some repression here but I can't comment any more on that

Food / Polish Eating Habits [87]

They eat out less than other countries I guess. Poles love staple foods like potatoes, veggies etc and can make some really good food at home. The tradition of producing quality home cooking is well established here in Poland. Also, the money factor. Going to milk bars and eating the food they like is still quite popular but not to expensive places unless they are business people.

Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

10 things I don't miss

1) Black pudding

2) Listening to yobbos on buses

3) Job Centres

4) The high prices for rubbish

5) The lack of talent on the go

6) Drinking too much as a student

7) Some of the drivel on TV

8) The prices of property

9) The rain

10) The humdrum of excessive familiarity

Noimmigration, there is no evidence in ur article linking the Poles to this predicament. Waiting lists were a problem long b4 the entry of the Poles. The Conservatives made a right royal stuff of things. As I've mentioned b4, we have numerous forms available from post offices that allow for free treatment. If I can receive free treatment as I did in Poland, then why can't it work the same in reverse? It's a RECIPROCAL agreement, mutual benefits etc.

Love / IMPORTANT NOTE FOR POLISH GIRLS (watch out for hypocrites) [52]

There are many racist Polish girls of course, like in many places. It wasn't really a racist remark about the sweat though, it was more like an observation of a different national group. Everybody knows Pakistanis sweat like rapists on trial.
