AFC_1903 - | 7 11 Nov 2009 #153When someone has something that is different it makes people notice them. It may be any number of things, from the way they act, dress or their physical attributes. It may even be their accent.For me (1/2 Scot's, 1/2 Irish) I find Polish women to be highly attractive. I got fed up of the attitudes of so many people in the UK/Ireland and the way so many people act with apparently no respect for themselves or others. So many of the women there dress for a night out as if they are going to work on a street corner for the night, and then drink until they fall over.In Poland however they are classy in the way they dress and act, they look after themselves with regard to diet, exercise etc, they like to do things (activities, self-improving study etc) instead of just slumping in front of a TV for the night and are extremely ladylike - and that rates very highly with me.As to what their attraction to us is? With the exception of our kilts and dashing good looks, I dunno!Oh, I remembered - it is the Irish/Scots gaelic accent...!

Albanaich 2 | 31 14 Nov 2009 #157Cutting through the sex garbage. . . . . .Last year I spent some time living in an apartment block with Poles. . . . . we used to pass each other on the stairs every day.After a few weeks as I carried my beer up the stairs I said to Polish guy I knew as a regular. . . . .fancy drink?Everything changed. . .. .along with that impressive line 'you're not like everyone else' - 'no, I'm Scots'English v Poles - no contest :-)
Gercasty - | 3 22 Nov 2009 #158RandalHi Randal. I'm new to this forum – and a Scot. I visited Poland for the first time this year – Poznan and Wroclaw – and was blown away. I had an absolutely fantastic time and fell in love with the country, the food, the people.So much so that I'm about to launch an online magazine aimed at the Polish community in Scotland and Scots (and that means you!) with Polish interests, through family, friends, travel, business.And you're right about the affinity between the Scots and the Poles. Did you know, for instance, that there has been travel between Scotland and Poland for more than 500 years? And that in the 17th century there were an estimated 40,000 Scots living in Poland? Or that an aberdeenshire man was mayor of Warsaw four times in the 17th century?There are so many links down through the centuries it is breathtaking. Anyway, my mag should be due to launch in December, with a bit of luck. My email address is gercasty.mac@mac.com. Drop me a line if you'd like a look.Cheers,Gerry

Seanus 15 | 19,672 26 Nov 2009 #160A small break in a relationship really reignites the flame. My wife is such a loving person, even more so for having been away for a week. God Bless her!!
Gercasty - | 3 28 Mar 2010 #161Scots and Poles are good buddies because we're the same kind of people – we work hard, play hard, like a drink. We're open, friendly, up for a laugh. What's not to like? I produce a monthly online magazine for Scots and Poles called Scotsbarszcz. It's completely and utterly free. Cherck it out at scotsbarszcz.com
Seanus 15 | 19,672 28 Mar 2010 #162Well put, gercasty! I really get on well with all kinds of Poles here. I can actually use cześć with many shop workers to keep the mood light and they are fine with that. Trevek promoted your magazine.

Seanus 15 | 19,672 28 Mar 2010 #164No gimmicks, please, simply red is here :) Scots and Poles make for a turbulent relationship but it's about understanding each other's fire. My wife will quite often say 'kurwa' in ostensible anger but that's just her way and she lightens up soon after. There is much compatibility really :)
Seanus 15 | 19,672 28 Mar 2010 #166I'm sure it was i co z tego? I'd rather discuss real relationships.
Seanus 15 | 19,672 28 Mar 2010 #168Amateur amateur :( :( Out came the blunder!God bless Scottish and Polish passion/pride!
hague1cmaeron 14 | 1,368 30 Mar 2010 #169Another thing that Poles and Scots have in common is highlanders.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnZ7htD8A4Some interesting stories on this thread.
Mr Grunwald 32 | 2,173 31 Mar 2010 #171Another thing that Poles and Scots have in common is highlanders.Thanks for sharing :)
Seanus 15 | 19,672 31 Mar 2010 #172Yeah, we both have a great tradition in that respect. The Polish highlanders are more temperamental, it is said. Scottish ones are more patriotic in the main, they identify with the whole nation more.
Mr Grunwald 32 | 2,173 31 Mar 2010 #173Scottish ones are more patriotic in the main, they identify with the whole nation more.By being themselves and saying their Polish, they couldn't be more patriotic :)
Seanus 15 | 19,672 31 Mar 2010 #174I would say there is more of a separation, Mr G. They identify more with their region than their country. In Scotland, we had a clan system across the country and that was a source of national pride. Polish highlanders aren't promoted enough, maybe only in beers like Harnas and Żywiec ;) ;)
hague1cmaeron 14 | 1,368 1 Apr 2010 #175Grunwald. Thanks for sharing :)it is a pleasure, i am half a highlander on my mother's side.Scottish ones are more patriotic in the mainTo Scotland or to Britain? or do they look towards Gordon Brown or Alex Salmond?here is some more: youtube.com/watch?v=4Cs3TYfqLHIyoutube.com/watch?v=rtnc_VeEJw8&feature=related
szkotja2007 27 | 1,498 1 Apr 2010 #176To Scotland or to Britain?For Scotland - the idea of "Britain" is alien to many.do they look towards Gordon Brown or Alex Salmond?Alex Salmond has achieved fantastic things in Scotland within the remit of the Scottish government - I can't wait until we get full independence.
hague1cmaeron 14 | 1,368 1 Apr 2010 #177full independence.Personally i think it will be a sad day. a very sad descent for the once mighty British Empire, the country that in Niall Ferguson's words made the modern world.
Crow 154 | 8,996 1 Apr 2010 #178Poles and Scotts can do bussines. I can imagine new free Scottland as part of future Slavic Confederation. Poland should offer protection to Scottland from English oppresores
