    "Fakt"....sounds a little too like "Fekt" (but not unlike "fact" which is why I'm clutching at straws here......go with me on this people!)

    Get Fakt

    Bah! Ads in Polish, newspapers in Polish, TV shows in Polish, shops in Polish, where will it end? I don't recall Ireland bending over backwards for any other nationality.

    I saw bags of imported firewood in Polish packaging outside a shop on Talbot St yesterday. Don't they trust Irish wood? Are they that insular that they HAVE TO have the same stuff as home to throw on the fire?

    We've been importing polish coal etc for years, long before the immigrants were coming here.

    The Irish Times is an Irish paper, is it in Irish...

    The Gulf Times is a Emiratie paper, is it in Arabic?

    EDIT: I expected it to be but thought maybe it wouldn't as it'd open up a larger market...
    Or available in both languages

    No, because Irish isn't our first language.

    Oh yeah
    Article 8
    1. The Irish language as the national language is the first official language.
    2. The English language is recognised as a second official language.

    .

    A Pole in wrk told us that he had friends working in the north of England who got a frosty reception from one or two locals with long memories. The reason being that they blamed the Poles for underminding their strikes in the 80s by sending Maggie cheap Polish coal.

    I agree, it's a disgrace. And it happens all over the world too!

    I hear that there's Irish papers in England. And English AND Irish papers in America. There's even shops in Australia selling Irish foods!

    Disgraceful. Where will it all end?!

    Some of you guys should try living in London. Your heads would probably explode from all the different nationalities and ethnic minorities stealing jawbs from one another and printing their own newspapers and what not.

    I was out in Bishopsgate with work colleagues.

    There were three South Africans, three Indians, one Sri Lanken, one Zimbabwean, two Aussies, one Kiwi and three English. No Poles though.
