Language / "Taka prawda" - What does this Polish phrase mean? [19]

it is something like: "Tak noh pravda" which I would guess means Yes, quite true".

Just curious. was it a woman who used it and was she speaking to a child ?

if so. it means: wow! really!

Travel / Abandoned airfield south-east of Wroclaw [7]

There is another airstrip towards the west of Wrocław near Środa Śląska but that I think that runway is now part of Route 94

part of the sroda slaska road was an emergency runway. it was all chopped and changed in recent years.

Life / Wroclaw Stadium and the Queen gig. [20]

.Have they released any new material?What is the capacity of Wroclaw stadium?

i didn't notice anything new in their set. most of the old groups seem to play their greatest hits when playing live. it's what the audience expect.

the capacity for regular use (football) is around 40,000

Life / Wroclaw Stadium and the Queen gig. [20]

,I didn't even know that Queen was headlining again

i think they play six dates. wroclaw was the third after moscow and kiev. i think the other dates are in london.

.What kind of voice does Lambert have

sometimes very similar to freddie. the vocals are by four people. most are by lambert, taylor and may each do a few and there is section with freddie.... it's a backing track and some film and it fits in rather well.

the only problem with queen is that they carry freddie wherever they go. he has been dead more than twenty years. it's time to move on.

many other bands have replaced vocalists without fuss.

So are you saying you liked the show?

the first band were good... the second band IRA, we all know are good... the third band, mona, i couldn't get into them, but the crowd enjoyed them..... Queen took advantage of a huge stage, used very good lighting and provided a show that had obviously been thought out and practiced. best gig of the year so far.

That's great the Wroclaw booked the gig! How full was the stadium?

Wroclaw got the gig because of a cancellation elsewhere and because it was in the right place. i suspect that they wanted to play in Poland too

difficult to say how full the stadium was. the seats behind the stage were out of bounds yet the pitch was full. if not sold out, it was close.

How many such events do they figure the venue needs to stay solvent?

i have no idea what the answer to this is. however, i like the venue and will certainly go again. i think each new stadium has a problem with making money.

Life / Wroclaw Stadium and the Queen gig. [20]

Yesterday Queen + Adam Lambert played Wroclaw's stadium.

it was the first time queen had ever played in poland.

the support bands were power of trinity, IRA and mona.

after the concert i never heard a bad word about lambert. he is a natural for the band.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------

getting to the stadium couldn't be easier, unless you're in a car. the line of traffic to the car park was long and slow.

there are various buses and a number of trams, which seem to be routed through plac jan pawel II

public transport leaves one with a two minute walk to the main entrance.

the usual rules of entry include no drinks. but you won't go thirsty as beer can be bought for 9zl and a 3zl bottle of coke only costs 8zl

the official Queen t-shirt was 100zl. not many folk seemed to be buying though. probably more to do with colour and design rather than price.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

The outer skin of the stadium is not wind or rain proof, which means it may ruin your day, if you're sitting in the upper section.

i had a good wander around the stadium and it seems to me that it's a good place to watch footie.

the lower level toilets had long queues. the top level had no queues at all. important for the ladies... go up a level and save time.
