It was a ginger pu$sy. Never tasted it though.
Like I said, just some veg, but salad would be nice if you bbq'd the cat.
What colour was the cat? I've heard that the grey ones are best.

You will either get a shot of Tom special bottle behind the bar or you will get my drink of Jamesons whisky with an ice cream float ;)
But I never tasted it myself though :D

Good call and while you are there ask Tom for a Davidek drink ;)
Have you never been on the bar dancing to Gary Glitters "my gang" ? :D
You could also pop into the Irish Arms bar, they have live gigs on during the weekend. Maurice is an auld fart too ;)
I'd recommend Nic Nowego which is a modern Irish pub (it's at Św. Krzyża 15 street).

You most likely won't be dancing there, but the rest what you're seeking is there.

I've actually cooked a cat once. It had gotten into the washing machine and died. So we gutted it and roasted it with some veg in the oven and served it up to the MP who were inspecting. They thought it was rabbit also.

Travel / Pics of Warsaw by the Guardian's David Levene [107]
For **** sake people, they are just some pics that I liked because they showed another side to Warsaw than what you would find in any other tourist book or newspaper article about the city.
If you all can't just appreciate them or not is besides the point, the photos were taken to inspire whatever feelings you connect with them.
Leave the petty sh1t out or I'll just ask the mods to close my thread.

Mainly because newspaper articles aren't there to have a biased opinion on "look how great Warsaw is".
But you couldn't have looked too hard because The Guardian has a whole section dedicated to guardian.co.uk/travel/warsaw
I don't think if all the news was bad then people would be flocking to Poland for their holidays.
I don't get why you seem to want to ignore the problems that may exist in Warsaw.
Another article about Warsaw: guardian.co.uk/music/2011/apr/03/new-europe-poland-clubs
Every city has it's problems, areas that are still in poverty ect. Unless it's reported then no one is going to change that.
Anyway these photos seem to have done the job.
Why can`t I find in British or American newspapers articles portraying Warsaw as a glamourous city , but instead I always see sad?

Cos it is also a reality, why only see things from one perspective. I can bet that most newspaper articles will talk about the brighter side of Poland, but I quite like to see the other truer sides too. Not everything in Poland is rosy, not all medieval churches and tall towers, try going to the tri-cities, for most people they would say that the area is a ******** full of unhappy people, the reality is that yes they are industrial cities and people are over worked for not much money, but you can find the other side too.
Why tell them a story not the reality ?

And it's got all of us debating it, so he might not be as bad as we think.
I don't find many things in life sad, I mean in my kind of work I have learnt not to let other peoples situations get to me, the majority were yes i guess, but every now and again you'd find something that could be inspiring.
The end of commy life brought about a lot of Krk's homeless.

Unique because they live in a city that is flaunted as a modern metropolis. They are the history of the city because they haven't changed much over the years. That's where you find your story, the story not published in most books.
In Krk as a bit of a project me and my friend used to take photos of the local homeless people and interview them to hear their stories. We were going to publish it one day....but it fell off the radar as with most bright ideas. Think I may still have some of the pics and some of the stories were fascinating.
Whats so special about polish poor people , whats so unique about them ah?

They don't need to be, he is showing a story of another side of Warsaw. One that is not being told so often maybe.
Nobody, even the photographer is suggesting that Warsaw is a flee-market town. I don't think you understand clearly the idea of photojournalism.
He is telling a story, not a balanced view. He is telling the story of the more deprived areas of Warsaw, maybe what he is trying to highlight is that fact that even with Warsaw becoming a more modern city, there is still areas that have been left behind.
For the same reason as this, Where are the poorer districts and industrial areas in the tourist books?
The bad pictures are not balanced by prettier ones

This is not a place of starving homeless . Warsaw is a town with more than a hundred of higher educational institutions

Hardly, I was brought up in the crime and murder capital of Europe. In probably it's most notorious schemes. First thing I said to my gf when I moved to Nowa Huta (first time ive ever been to Poland) was how great the place looked.....a look of shock came across her and her parents faces.
I don't feel ofended or whatever, just it makes me laugh when people from rich countries are excited about visiting slums... people have short memories, don't they?

Why not? No one has given me any clear reason not to apart from moaning that it makes Warsaw look bad, which it neither does nor does it portray Warsaw as a some kind of paradise.
They were just a group of pics, there wasn't an article to go with them from my knowledge. But they come under the New Europe series.
Because there is still a story to be told, you can't just say there are 100 people only in Warsaw that live poor lives. Even well off people may still use the milk bars, in Krk a lot of students also did. But there must be a reason why he chose to take a photo of older people eating there...no?
Regarding who cares about the older buildings, I'm guessing most of the residents who live in those districts. Most of Warsawians(sic) are pretty well off, but there are some problem areas that still need to be addressed. Hiding them from the world does no good.
Exactly, so why not show the past Warsaw? If this the last building to be renovated then it's an even better photo as it holds the story of how this area used to be.
One of my friends who also is a photographer from Warsaw says he gets fed up of the white washing of photos used in magazines and article in the city. That the place is full of rubble and tacky advertising, though he does recognise the fact that the city is going through a transitional period.
I think it's a shame that some people in Warsaw feel ashamed of the poorer districts and have the need to protest when someone chooses to highlight the area. Maybe by highlighting the poorer areas he is choosing to show the difference in how the city is changing.
Why take the picture then? And then another, and another? I'm all for realism, but this is not realism, it's "uglyfication" ;-)

Motropolitan of Warsaw is more than 3 milion so who cares if 100 people go to a milk bar or if there are some old buildings which need to be renovated .

Because like any city in the world, another photo collection of all the historical and touristy place are ten a dozen. For example some of the more interesting places in Glasgow are the poorer districts, they speak volumes from where the city has come from.
That's the point is it not?
That's your opinion.
Because he wasn't taking the pics to put them into a tourist book. He was taking the pics to show the other side of Warsaw.
But some still do.
No, because he is not trying to portray Warsaw as a poor city. He is just showing some parts that maybe don't get a mention in most books. Praga being case and point, how many people actually know about that part of the city. Same as Krakow, not many people knew about Nowa Huta in the past but now it's becoming more and more famous with tourists.
Why did he show old people , rather poor , some looking like homeless or parts of the city with rubbish on the soil , partially without pavement ?
