Gosh, on Sunday you were on a beach in Israel. Today Germany. Are you trying to trace a jewish ancester or something?

Nope, just work. This week at home in Germany, then next week off to Dresden and then more Germany, Belgium, Finland and Denmark...

I get the impression AtW that there is little love lost between the Poles and the Ruskies. Is that true?

Russians don't generally care about Poland but Poland does not like Russia for a good reason - first Stalin sold out Polish people to Nazies and occupied part of Poland himself committing atrocities there, then he used them to fight nazies only to occupy whole of Poland for good 50 years.

Here in Germany all they do is come over and nick your cars...A bit old but its got worse and quite a few car companies here will not hire you a car if you say you're going to Poland (or other East European countries)

Not another bloody person beginning with x? What is with everyone taking names beginning with x? Glad I have largely bailed out of this board.

Guys, you all really seem to be missing the point again,
yes theres some nice looking Polish women, yes they make
nice bread and yes they bring lots of vodka.
But a) do you have a nice looking Polish women,
b) are you sampling there wares
and c) why the feck do we need more foreigners regardless,
blah blah blah.

The simple answer is to deport yourself.
Unless of course your one of the lucky ones....

My last two cleaners were Polish, the current one, Polish too, is very attractive. She can't clean but still has a job......no complaints there.

If you think of all the nationalities and ask which is the most preferable country from which to import people it would more than likely be the Poles. They have a reputation for hard work, and for just getting on with life. I do not understand why we need to import/transfer Indian software people when there are probably hundreds of thousands of intelligent graduate level IT people in Poland.

I have also yet to see any stories of them signing on for benefit even though their one years time allowance is now up.

The question I ask is where on earth are they going to live? and why not send all the welfare scroungers to live over there where it is cheaper to live, thus freeing up some housing over here? now there's an idea

I highly doubt it - Poland had bad reputation in Tsar Russia since they were the only foreign country (beyond Mongols) to occupy Russia and actually install their own Govt - it was fake Prince Can'tMindHisName married to Polish princess and supported by Polish armed forces who had to run in about 2 years time.

Oh well, when I heard that it was a Russian colleague saying it, but since he was saying it to a pretty Polish collleague, maybe he had a motive for saying it?

Having said that I know two English guys here who got married to Polish girls few years ago and seems to be extremely happy - they are IT guys and I suppose here its like they have married models

PS ATW is it true that Russian princes used to go to Poland to look for a bride, because the Polish girls were so famously pretty?

Personally I have nothing against Polish people, in fact I probably have some polish roots myself since my name ends on -sky, which is rather typical in Poland as well as Russia since lots of people there must have taken Polish surnames.

I blame the bloody Italians. It was them what first come over here building roads and towns all over our countryside.

BTW it's "bred".
