History / Fall of the Wall II [8]

On the 9th November, the fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago (Jeez is it really that long ago) will be commemorated by pushing over the first of thousands of 2.5 metre high 'dominoes' that strecth for over 2km. Rumour has it that the two people in line for the honour are Lech 'The Walrus' Walesa and Mikhail 'Strawberry' Gorbachev. Seems a little predictable. Who do you think should be given the honour?

I think we should give the job to Putin - maybe he would remember that the old days have gone!

Sod the dominoes. We should have a competition to see who gets to knee Bono in the nuts then;)

Love / Do not marry Polish woman [212]

My answer to the original assertion would depend upon at what time in my marriage it was asked. In the early years it would have been along the lines of “you would be barking mad not to marry one”. In the subsequent years the answer would be very much the same, with the addition of good performance in the motherhood stakes, loyalty, understanding and good old Polish common sense. However, if you were to ask me now my advice would be to steer clear of them. The reason for this change of opinion is simple really. In my advancing years I am getting hacked off with all new acquaintances saying how pretty my daughter is! Guys, steer clear of them – they age too well.

Love / My Polish girlfriend checks my mobile phone all the time [70]

My wife checks my mobile all the time. She makes sure it is charged, that the jam from my afternoon doughnut is removed, that the screen is clean and the keys have no dust between them. Often this takes over half an hour. Should I be worried?

She also diligently cleans the PCs in the house and checks Facebook to make sure I’m not being cyber bullied. Now that is being thoughtful.

Law / Marriage Procedure in Poland [56]

I kept my distance before going into the room and going through with it.

And it would be wise to employ the same tactics at the birth of your first child;)

Many congratulations to you and your wife Seanus.

Law / New ID 'card' in Poland [19]

LES, to be exact.

les batards if we're being picky:)

How many ten year 'ID' cards are issued in Poland? Not many I guess so that may be why the paper version persists.
