Food / No Curry in Tri-city area...damnit. [8]
I went there when it first openned in 90 something. The restaurant was owned then by a Dutch guy and an Indian fellow. Food and service fantastic back then. Last ate there at the end of last summer, the food was good but service had gone very much down hill. I can smell curry from where I am sitting now. Sometimes its good to be in England :)

Nothing too unusual about the washing machine in the bathroom - it does kinda make sense afterall

Life / I feel the gay rights movement is constrained Poland [90]
Could that be because homosexuality isnt the "norm" and probably never will be the "norm, in the UK or anywhere else?
That said, the UK is a much more accepting and tolerant society in most areas, when compared to Poland
homosexuality is never going to be considered the "norm"

Whilst many expats undeniably fall into Kilkline's category, there is also a growing number who are extremely ambitious and whose earning capabilities have the potential to be significantly greater than they would back in the UK.
Not wanting to steroetype, but characteristics of this group might inculde: educated, married to Pole, left good job in UK and sold house to relocate, significant finacial resources at their disposal, creative, ambitious and innovative, comfortable integrating, positive efforts to learn Polish

I think we can safely say that there is no country in the world where homosexuality is the standard pattern of behaviour considered normal by society, i.e. the 'norm'.

Is it really necessary to wash with soap and shower gel? I find that one or t'other tends to work fine.
The secret to that is wash twice daily with soap and shower gel

The NHS deadline for 'deep' cleaning in all hospitals is about to expire. I think I heard on Radio 4 today that something like 97% of all hospitals have met the deadline. Of course the are arguements that the whole thing was a publicity stunt which has diverted much needed funds from elsewhere in the NHS. Hmmm

Food / Cost of Nescafe coffee in Poland. [49]
I went to a Polish coffee house last year and asked for a cappuccino. Simple enough request, wasn't being flash or anything. I got some sort of nescafe dishwater type stuff in a tall glass with whipped cream and a fukin glacier cherry on top. Slap me round the face with a wet kipper and cosh me over the head with a broken bottle I did my fukin nut. That's a lie actually. The waitress was a lovely women and doing her best so I drank my coffee meakly and said thank you very much.

I couldn't do that! I cannot drink a bad cup of coffee for anyone, even if I was dying of thirst!

VaFunkoolo is a reference to my fictional Italian heritage and my love of telling people exactly where to go. Places where the sun dont shine in particular. Nonetheless, its entirely possible we are related on your great grandfather's side as my mother too has a medal, although hers is for her strawberry pavlova.
The Va stands for 'go', as in vavavoom.

Yes, you are quite right, this was my reason for ordering a cupofchino. I am exceedingly proud of my make believe Italian heritage and my pasta scoffing roots.
Indeed, I recently made a trip to Chicago in search of Polish relatives and was taken to an Italian restaurant. I ordered a pizza and lo and behold the blighters bought me a pie. You can imagine my suprise.
I said mama mia, slap me round the face with a wet kipper and cosh me over the head with a broken bottle, this ainta no pizza. I wanta the thin and crispy eh you wannabe wop, gowa getta me the chef pronto, eh.
Actually that too is a lie. I ate one slice of the pie and it was delicious. Perhaps I am American.
