"(2 seconds ago) Dan- (Dan- in Fallen London) has told you their worst fears. To be frank, it hasn't reassured you... You've gained a new quality: Nightmares at 1 - Wary You now have 1 x Tale of Terror!!"

Yay?

 

My nightmares are down from a very high 4 to 1 now so it helped me, thanks Joe I didn't realise it'd give you some nightmares, I suppose I should return the favour if you get some kind of trouble later.

 

I don't even know what nightmares do.

 

I don't either but it kept telling me that if it reached five, bad things would happen, and I was very close.

 

Two page article in The Sun on Sunday about the amount of polish people in Southampton. Also on about the amount of polish shops etc that are springing up.

 

We have some of those shops in St Albans, and regular supermarkets have a decent chunk of an aisle just for Polish food. I'm yet to try any of it.

 

Out of a population of 239,400, an estimated 25,000 are polish according to The Sun. Them coming here doesn't really bother me apart from the ones that can't be arsed to learn English.

 

They all speak perfect English, but are just worried about being misquoted in the press........

 

Wish that was true. A guy turned up for a interview(which I was the interviewer) and all he knew in english was yes and no and to nod.

 

He could do my job.

 

Are there any Polish restaurants? These sound nice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierogi

 

What's your job again?

 

Guy who sits at desk and puts data into database.

 

I could do that for a bit, how do you get one of those jobs?

 

Find a good recruitment agency that recruits temps.

There has been an ever growing Polish community around the Southampton area since the end of WW2... About 1.000 Polish soldiers retuning from fighting in Italy were housed in a former POW camp at Hiltingbury, they were later joined by their families...I'm proud of our city's role in helping people in need and of the uniqiue bond that we have with the Polish people.

 

Not everyone is in need these days. It's part of having a country that makes it so easy to claim benefits.(not saying it's only polish immigrants that do this btw)

 

Well those who claim benefits are being required to take English lessons now, so that should help.

 

The point is that the Polish community has grown organically in the same way that the Afro-Caribbean and Asian communities have....There are second, and third generations, (I have a Polish sister-in-law) and obviously More Polish People will be attracted to the city because of the historical links.
On a personal level, I know many Polish People and not a single one claims benefits....p.s. The Sun is full of ****!

 

Hopefully. I am all for people from different countries properly intergrating into our society.
