"Our surname is only 5 letters,
As a Pole, do you find this thread offensive?
Offensive? No, Poles have a sense of humour."
Just wondered. If the post had been opened by making a joke about gays or blacks, for example, it would got very nasty very soon |

Probably by people who rant and wave their arms about quoting racism and bigotry who are neither black or gay!
In my experience it's rarely the people the jokes are aimed at that get offended it's the do-gooders that get offended for them who cause the biggest stink.... |

Sadly in Britain we have beaten ourselves up over such matters for years! |

That's because of the history of the region during the last century.
To be honest Putin has nothing to gain in Poland unless his car happens to be dirty. |

No, every security guide out there will say 'don't use a character combination that's easily guessed, such as your surname' ....sorry, couldn't resist pointing out the obvious and bypassing the joke completely   |

That's an old Polish tongue twister. It means "George doesn't believe there's a hundred plates on the tower". |

I went out with a couple of sisters with Polish surnames ..... Came in very useful when I had to write a program at Uni in Fortran77 to order a list of people's names in alphabetical order, and I chose ex-girlfriends. It was quite a long list and to test it fully I needed two surnames that were the same  |

I'm not so sure Poles are that lucky. Look at their neighbours - Germany on one side, Russia on the other. 
I went to school with a few Polish lads. I say Polish, they were as British as anyone else, but their grandparents had resettled here following fighting for us during the war.  |

I'd not wanna be in the middle of those countries!
My son has a Polish surname after his Dad, his great grandparents met here in the UK as children when evacuated from their countries in WW2 (Ukraine for his Gran and Poland for his Grandad).
Sadly he has been bullied, due to stigma that Poles are here taking all our jobs (without knowing his family background). Wouldn't mind, but majority of them are bloody hard working. |

"In a recent survey the poles seem to suggest that a mixture of letters and numbers including upper and lower case letters make the safest passwords."
Because it is the truth, no matter whether it is Polish or English or French or another language |

Traditionally it's a Polish Christian name. As far as I can find we're the only family left with it as a surname and currently my boy is the last of the line.... |

Old joke from the 1970's. A Polish gent walks into the opticians and takes an eye test. The Optician asks if he can read the bottom line of the chart: Z C Y W I K
The Polish gent replies, 'Read it? I know the guy!'
I think it's ridiculous to have something against Poles, or anyone else for that matter. Being born somewhere is an accident of birth and we are all human at the end of the day. When people complain about folks coming over here, they tend to forget that Britain once controlled a quarter of the world. |

Not to mention the Poles who joined the RAF (with the highest victory count) and the 2nd corps under General Anders. After the war the Poles who stayed pretty much rebuilt the roads (blame my grandfather for the potholes!) And it was a Pole who designed Britain's first nuclear power plant (he died a pauper in a shitty council house in Leicester back in the 90's too).
Many of the Poles are lovely, kind and generous people and the food is amazing. |

I have yet to experience someone fom Poland who is not lovely in their interactions with me, very hard working and committed to getting the job done to the highest quality.

"I wish I knew what the food was,I'd try some dishes if it if I did
Mr Who do you have some suggestions so I can try some out? "
I always tell people to try pierogi, it's my absolute favourite food in the world.
It's very similar to ravioli except the pasta is a little more 'rustic'- regular flour, an egg and sour cream. Fillings vary but my favourite is cheese & potato. You boil them, then fry them in butter and serve with sour cream.
The soups are amazing too, my favourite being sour sorrel soup with mashed egg served with rye bread. |

Mine does. I'm extremely proud of my polish surname and i will be very reluctant to change it when we get married.  |

My hubby keeps raving about Polish food now since our polish friend took some to work for lunch...
I'm very set in my ways with food though I never try anything new from the foods I ate growing up and whenever I do I have ALWAYS regretted it!
I don't know enough poles to judge them, but I adore our friend he's totally awesome and speaks way better English than most of the English people of my generation lol |

Lol, not if you don't like it. You could also use low fat natural Greek yoghurt if you're watching the calories. |

Boil them first and then fry them in butter (not oil).
Homemade ones are better but the frozen ones are much quicker and are a passable alternative. |

"Where can you get these P thingys "
There's a Polish shop in West Brom. They sell them in there. I picked a bag up last time I visited Xtasia. Also Lidl sometimes have a Polish week and they sell them in there too.
If Kate is cooking have her make you some Golabki (pronounced ga-wump-key). They're another of my favourites. |

I always surprise them because of I'm in the shop with someone and I'm speaking to them in English I don't, as you know, have a Polish accent. When I go to the counter I then speak perfect Polish to them with an eastern Polish accent... |

You've got try Wyesker (that's how it sounds, not how it's spelt)lol
It's a Polish sausage that is so damn moreish, you wont be able to leave it alone
It is lean pork and garlic and goes with cheddar cheese better than Spanish onion. Or you can eat it as it is.
You can boil it and have it with hard boiled eggs too.
You can get it from most supermarkets now. |

I can read and write a little. My problem is that I learned Polish from my dad who learned it from his parents. They left Poland at the start of WWII so there's many words and phrases that I'm not overly familiar with. Which can make it difficult sometimes when I'm over there. |

My uncle Zennon came over in WW2 to fly. He was a Hurricane pilot and was pretty good by all accounts, but he refused to speak of it to us kids.
