British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home.

Thats why I said you should get help!

(Quoting myself now - how sad! lol)

I've been thinking about it and I have worked with many, many nationalities over the years but I have never worked with anyone from Germany and I know no one I know has ever worked with a German. Is there a reason for this? Surely Germans travel too???

re: trying getting out of your Glaswegian borders and blinkers

- I'd be careful about negative statements about things Scottish. That's what this psychopath attempts to provoke us into doing - to make anti-Scottish statements in reply to his hate-mongering.

He doesn't represent the majority of Scottish people. In fact, I doubt if he's Scottish at all (we'll find out anyways, as I have made some steps to identify this creep).

Now, I must say that I encountered types with a similar frame of mind while living in Canada - folks being oh so accomodating towards Chinese, East Indians and similar ones, and, at the same time, being virulently Polonophobic.

He wants attention so he shall have it.
:)

I have worked with Czechs, Germans, Dutch, Italian, French, Polish, Spanish, Indian, chineese (or they may have been japanees (im ignorant) ) and slavacian all in a professional envinonment....

What's that about? had one too many already? lol

I am Scottish my friend! My statement was not anti-Scottish.

but the scottish all drink too much and wear dirty vests and live in horrid high rise housing

absolutely correct! You've done your homework! ;-)

Get over what ever your problem is! You obvoulsy have an issue with me, spit it out!

PolskaDoll, your nick has misled me; I thought you were of Polish extraction.

Cheers!
:)

Can I call you Ms Rabsee Nesbit then :)))) dont you just luvvvv it;))

Ya know am just kidin with ya doll :)

re: but the scottish all drink too much and wear dirty vests and live in horrid high rise housing

- My kind of folks !
;)

Puzzy, the English and the Scots have a lot of history but we love each other really :))

Can't beat tatty n neeps and a man in kilt:))))

absolutely! Why I picked PolskaDoll as a nick and not Ms Rabsee Nesbit, I'll never know!!! lol :-)

Not sure what the difference is, I live, work in Scotland. Are you saying you wouldn't have warned me about anti-Scottish things if you'd known I was Scottish???

re: Puzzy, the English and the Scots have a lot of history but we love each other really :))

- Is that right? That's good then. I've got the impression of some resentment (I don't mean between you and PolskaDoll), but perhaps it's just superficial stuff, like the seeming adversity between Poles and Silesians?

You're both great nations, complementing each other.
:)

re: Are you saying you wouldn't have warned me about anti-Scottish things if you'd known I was Scottish???

- Well, if you made some anti-Scottish remarks, and I knew you were Scottish, maybe I wouldn't react as in case when the remarks were made by a Polish person? I would at first just respect your intimate native experience and thought that as a native Scot you may have the right to make those remarks.

Then if you continued being anti-Scottish and I sensed strong bitterness behind the remarks, I might object to them presenting facts contradicting your statements.

But I don't know much about Scotland from personal experience. I'm going to visit your country, just as I'm visiting Ireland right now.

All the (real) Scottish people I've met were fantastic. Very friendly towards us Polish folks - I mean very friendly.

One of them gave me a little gift, with a Scottish national emblem on it, and I carry it on me all the time.
:)

Glasgow kiss?

re: Glasgow kiss?

- Shawn, as usual you want to know too much, man.
;)

There was a Scottish foreman at our factory, he often told me about the Glasgow Kiss - basically a head butt (head to head smash) when the victim was not expecting it....

re: so its not just Europe in the UK....

- And that's a real tragedy, I think.

Sorry, but I really think so, and am sure my conviction isn't groundless.

The Beatles lyrics come to mind: Boy, you're going to carry that weight....

re: the Glasgow Kiss - basically a head butt (head to head smash)

- Did it leave the Scottish national emblem on the head?
:)
Shawn, you're not angry with me for my anti-Canadian remarks, are you? I really went through a trauma there. I got so f... ill I almost died. I don't have bitter feelings towards all Canadians - not towards sweet people like you. And when I heal up, I'll find a more balanced way of speaking about Canada, I'm sure about it. Sorry, I am unable to cough up more. All the best to you, and other great Canadian friends of Poland like you.

No Puzz, no problem here. I firmly believe we are all a product of what happens in our life. I would not cast doubts about your experiences here - they are your experiences, and yours alone. As a pure-breed (? wtf) canadian, I can't imagine what could have happened - never experienced any real hate here in my short life in this part of the world.
Hope my Polish friends and family take good care of moj dzieci for the next trzy tygodnia..... sorry about butchering your language! :-)
ps. Na Zdrowie - I raise my glass to you.

Shawn, I'm sure they will take good care of them. Polish people still care a lot about children. My wife was Polish, so I know. So they're visiting Poland?

Aren't you going with your wife and kids to Poland? Or, you joining them later?
(I think, you said, you did)

Polish parents tend to send their kids to grama and grnpa in Poland every summer. My friends do it all the time. The kids love it.

I don't and never did. For some reason you try hard to send me to therapy today! :)

They are approaching the tip of Greenland as we read (speak?). Dziadek and Wujek are picking them up.... Were there in 3 weeks!!!!!!

re: They are approaching the tip of Greenland as we read (speak

- God bless them.

And I'm off to bed now; it's ca 3:30 am where I am.

All the best.
:)

It's gonna be very empty in the house for 3 weeks.

You'll like Scotland a lot, especially if you are going to be able to travel around a bit. You'll also find that the Scottish generally are friendly towards Polish people.
And if you haven't tried it before make you sure eat Macsween's Haggis, its the absolute Bees Knees! lol.
