British aggression and anti-Polonism or Polonophobia .

I know from experience that Polish and English cultures are very different.... many times I dont understand my bf and he doesnt understand me... but whilst its a challenge, it can also be very interesting.. you just need to embrace it.. If I go to live in Poland, then I have to accept your way of life.. like it or not. You cant change your cultural background, but you can open your mind to new ways of thinking and behaving, which will enrich your life experience.

Then maybe you should get to know more British people and the country. Several people have told you to do it and offered to help. Why don't you meet some of the people from this board and learn from them?

not sure i can agree with you on that one peter... this is england and if you are not english, then you are a guest... some, because of history, are more welcome guests but guests they are and as guests they should behave...

Growing up with a Polish father was difficult.

Whats with the Bono obession??????

so what? he wrote a few songs it doesnt mean you have to idolize him
like a prophet

I agree. Van Morrison is far, far better

and hes not even English for ******s sake

madzia... i have a spare room in my house for the next couple of weeks... i have a polish couple in the house who are the same age as you... if you would like to come and see the southcoast you are welcome...

You think fighting for Britain's freedom doesn't entitle them to British Citizenship?
Whatever you think, in practice it did.

splitting hairs peter... none of the current influx of poles fought for britain... i dont think people should be rewarded or punished for what their fathers or grandfathers did...

I agree

I agree, but tell me he had to slaging me? do you think it helps to love me English more?

My the best fiend moved here, i was missing him a lot

In UK I like a lot of things, i have to tell them about it also, because you think i only complain, but it's not true.



good, that not on Polish forum. In Poland we have got proverb: gosc w dom, Bog w dom. Have you got something like that in your culture? Guest at home, God at home?

Maybe not but you incorrectly quoted the reference to the WW2 Poles.

Financially helping Poland today for Britains historic inability to help against Stalin is about as far as can be expected.

As EU members, guests is a bit rich. Partners maybe a better term, Britain like all countries have given up some sovereignty.

oh geez, plz do not start, sometimes ppl have got hobbies different than shopping and clubbing.

yes but will become knight of Her Majesty!

i know this saying well and have been fortunate to experience it in poland many times... however... i really dont think the same is true in england... if i welcome someone into my home, and they dont behave with the respect that this warrents, then the doors is thataway... see ya... an english man's home is his castle... disrespect my home and you disrespect me...



i cant say... maybe becasue he feels you are attacking something dear to him... just as he would do if he felt someone was attacking poland...



tell us magda... tell us what you have seen in the uk... and what you liked...

I DID NOT use the word guest, BubbaWoo did.

Poles are entitled to be here, its a right, earned by open their markets to Europe. Thats the deal we all accept as part of the EU

cant find that quote... could you point it out for me so that i may stand corrected...

It starts with the morning rush for the letterbox. Damn, what does British Gas want THIS time. Then of course, there is never enough breakfast. It's in the dog dear.
I didn't even know he liked Crunchy Nuts. That explains the licking then. Yep.

Work usually manages to destroy what enthusiasm you'd managed to keep bubbling away, and any trace of optimism that is left, is usually successfully removed by the thought of ready steady cook. Harriottectomy i believe is the technical term.

Then, to top it all off, now comes the moment you've been dreading, embarking on the biggest odyssey of your day so far. We've got a ten year voyage to get back to Ikea, well the sofa at any rate. What's for tea, you wonder?
It's in the dog dear.

yup... my bad...

if some ppl were atacking Poles here I wasn't slaging them. For me it doesn't make sense. Peter if you quote a quote from another quote it appears like that.

Thank you

exactly, i'm frustrated and stuck in b'ham!!!Yes, i want to discover UK, but I've got another job booked in other part of the world now. However I do not want to surrender, and think UK is bad and ugly and other ********* like that. Listen guys, if i'm grumbling maybe just to here that i'm wrong BUT without this ******* slaging!!! it's not helpful. I've met fantastic ppl in i.e. Norwich, some english ppl like from my childhood's books. I feel is much more of them, just need to find.

And one more time-I've got good job, good money, but in the life i prefer to do something else in other place, so I'm agree with your points of viev. It's hard do explain everything, my personality, passion etc only in few sentences on the forum.

Mag. I think you dont understand the British sense of humour.. (eg) now I understand why you cant find decent meat in the UK.. if you are hanging out with Norwich types (turkey farmers) I'm interested to know what childhood books you have read and what image they gave you of British people?

or complaining on a forum all day, everyday

geeez shut the f*** up already

Magdushya.

Britian is my home, the North of England to be precise. I fully understand what you mean by saying that you're frustrated. It sounds to me, like you're probably stuck in the city proper. I couldn't thnk of a worse fate.
But, honestly, what you're seeing is a microcosm of all that is wrong with Britain at the moment. Do not let that be your memory of Britain when you leave though. Becuase it is so much more and so much better.

Take BW up on his offer, get out into the more rural parts, remember you're never more than 4 hours from the sea in the UK. Pick a direction and find your whole world transformed.

Yes, by all means b*tch and moan. (we all do it, stand in a queue for a late bus, you'll see what I mean.)
But also remember, it is our home and Brits are very strange like that. We can slag our own home off as much as we want, we think it's our right. After all, we were unlucky enough to be born here, <grumble grumble> but nothing makes our blood boil more than hearing a non native slagging it off. No matter how valid that person's points may be.

Well said Huegel.. that is so true. I travel a lot and regularly moan about the UK to others.. however, it gives people from other countries the feeling that we all hate our own country and they wonder why.. but if they try to join in.. just watch us turn... this is just one of those quirks of being British.

Hey Magdushya, it could be worse you know. I'm currently working in Coventry which makes Birmingham look like Venice !

Dear Magdalena ,



This is just a quick email to say thank you for your translation.

I’m very impressed by the speed with which you sent it back to me (you were the first!). This further confirms your positive attitude to this position.

Here is my feedback. Of course your level of English is not perfect (which we did not expect), but I do not see it as a problem, especially if you intend to work hard on improving.

This is a letter from very good employer, so I have not got nothing against in this response, another one was I'm the most serious candidate, so again-I'm not complaining, Employers respect me and appreciate me. This letter is not the kindest and the best between what i've got in my mailbox, just wanted to show you that they are sincere but open to new experience and willing to develop new worker. i've got wise experience and incredibly good educational bacground so do not ask me i've got a job or possibility to do it. My dream, find to warm, green place by the seaside, why not in England? You are the big challenge for me, because in Italy was much easier and funny live. They love my personality and life-style. i think i'm much more nice in reality Maybe you will believe me one day However i don't want to be liked only because i'm worshipping uk.

(Magdushya just vomited on Sledz and come back to disscussion with other ppl)

What is your problem now? All your activity in last 2 post was slagging me and my favourite music group (first one is Queen of course)))

Hehe, ppl here says that coventry is nicer LOL
