Wroclaw Boy:

An Irish man beating up a Polish man whilst the Polish man is in handcuffs?

and loses his job and gets sentenced in a court of law.

Compare and contrast that to the previous posters experience.

Harry:

Pity you know nothing about Poland. If you did, you'd know that the reason people like me will no longer go to to Krakow is twats like the son of this poor mother.

Drunk tourists in a major tourist destination, shocker.

Happens in every large city.

Find a pub or club with a sensible and stringent door policy.

" Find a pub or club with a sensible and stringent door policy." Thanks but I know plenty which will tell groups of drunken Irishmen "Private party tonight".

What a marvellous idea. Arrest and beat up tourists. That will do wonders for tourism.

sorry but am running out of sympathy for anyone that travels to poland to take advantage of cheap vodka/beer only to find themselves in trouble after a few too many. the majority of tourists travelling to poland wont have any problems if they are sensible. i certainly enjoyed a few vodkas in the evening but not to the extent that i made myself a target for the police. arresting and beating up tourists is not the norm. however if you are going to walk around smashed after too much vodka and causing trouble,expect to be arrested.am sure there are far worse places than poland to be arrested in...which is why you should get clued up berore you travel anywhere.

A most sensible policy.

pam:

Polish beer and spirits are on the stronger end of the scale.

Someone whom is used to 4% beers would be hammered after a few of the stronger polish beers.

pam:

Expect to be arrested, the world over. There is a big difference between a night in a cell and being stripped, washed down with freezing water and strapped to a bed for the night.

If you encourage tourists to come over on stag weekends etc, dont be surprised if they get drunk.

" There is a big difference between a night in a cell and being stripped, washed down with freezing water and strapped to a bed for the night." Exactly: one is a deterrent.

Harry: Exactly: one is a deterrent. Yeah, a deterrent to return to the country. It is widely accepted that if somebody has a bad experience, be it in a pub, restaurant, with an internet provider, or visiting a foreign nation, they will tell ten others. I really hope, for Polands sake, you are not involved in the tourism industry.

He is not a normal irish man, he is a police man. Other police in Dublin have being brought to court for entering a apartment and beating a irish guy(ok the irish guy did break the jaw of another policeman). I just wanted to say that it is not something that occurs everyday. sorry this was reply to Harry.

Harry:

If it worked as such it would never be used would it.......a nuclear bomb is a deterrent, sado masochistic/homo erotic torture of young lads is just perverse.

To expand, have not got drunk in Krakow for about 5 years now and never had any trouble aside from dodging the odd Polish p!ss heads fighting in the street.
About 3 years ago a mate told me how his kid brother had been swept up with a completly seperate group on a stag weekend by the Police ( to be clear, the lad was not with the group or involved with the group just came out of a bar at the wrong time speaking the wrong language) and had gone through some serious abuse from both the pigs who did the arresting and the scum he was left with overnight. Frankly ,at the time I thought he was full of sh!t and that,at the least the lad must have been up to something............unfortunatly,nope, like I say,the sickest thing is that people are proud of this caveman behaviour from the so called forces of law and order....

What helps me believe it RN is that my Polish mates (in Poland) are all typically nice,law abiding middle class types and they hate the Police with the same ferocity that inner city kids in the UK hate coppers.....

peterweg: I've yet to see an British stag party in Krakow. I must be blind. Last year I came across maybe 20 brit stag parties in the Irish Mbassy Pub. They do have very good bar staff/security, so I never saw any trouble. Well except when I asked to watch the All Ireland hurling final(but it was just **** taking).
