    The whole swans gig is to do with an incident a few months back where polish living in britain kept taking swans out of the nearby river to eat them which led to local authorities placing signs like this

    At the edge of the river in an effort to cut down on the swan-snacking. Hence all the 'hilarious' jokes about the eating habits of polish immigrants.

    Right...
    I can only presume from some of the comments that people think I'm of the opinion that all foreigners are here to take what they can including swans?!
    I'm sorry but while I'm not racist, or at least I think I'm not, I still fail to see why people jump up all of a shot & in a roundabout way tell me I'm wrong for pointing out a persons nationality.
    If he was Irish do people not think that I'd have been as mad & truth be told the thread would have contained a more colourful conversation, but it was because he wouldn't or couldn't understand me that really made my blood boil. It was probably just as well he didn't want to, or couldn't, understand me because after balling me out of it on a busy street I was like a lunatic. Irish/ Polish/ Cat/ Dog, I don't particularly care but I will say this one more time, he was double parked with no indicator & no reverse lights on. Mystic Meg wouldn't have predicted what he was pulled up for.
    Thanks for explaining the whole swan thing by the way, I was genuinely wondering the feck was happening. It seems a bit far fetched though, & sure we wouldn't be Irish if we didn't generalise... Top 'o the mornin' to ya :p

    No , anyone making swan comments is normally mocking the op , and supporting the foreigner.

    Which is what I was getting at. I mean come on, swans??? This sounds like the joke about chinese people 'have you ever seen a chinese funeral? No? What do you think the chicken chow mein is made from HA HA HA'

    HA HA HA indeed. I didn't see a reason to be mocked considering nothing I said in the post was remotely nasty.

    Worse would have been said if he was Irish & did the same, so don't tell me otherwise.

    Right, I just had a major run in with a Polish delivery driver. Basically I spotted a parking space on the street & parked in it.
    All of a shot this green van reverses so fast I thought he was going to take the arse off my car. Anyway he started roaring that it was his spot & he had been waiting over half an hour for it. Now if he's a delivery driver then I presume he can use a loading bay? But that was across the street & seeing as it was raining I'd say he didn't want to ruin his blade 1 haircut.
    I pointed out that I didn't see his name on it, not trying to be smart, & that if I had known he was waiting on it I would have stayed going.
    So who was right & who was wrong or are all parking spaces fair game for whoever is the fastest?
    In the end I just walked away because the man was gone demented from it & at that stage I wouldn't have moved the car out of principal because of the language he roared at me. I'm no prude but Mr Polski was lucky I was in relatively good humour today or he would have been limping back to his green van.

    if i was stressed and you stole my parking spot you wouldnt be posting here... and id be in jail....


    but the polish try so hard to be hardy, just because you have a short hair cut and scream all the time...


    anyone ever see the homeless ones on talbot street in town...


    They tried me for my wallet before... Never laughed so hard in my life.


    after pulling a knife on me fell over and smashed his head !! lmao but they are very protective people... Moral of the story: some are nice, some are not, some are retarded !
