History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]

Polish TV started broadcasting a programme called Morze/ Sea in 1988 and they did it until 1997. The programme dealt with topics concerning the Baltic Sea, e,g. fishing industry, the development of harbours etc. It bored most viewers to death.
However, it sported an amasing intro which made many kids hurry home from street football matches to see it and listen to as well. I can read this fascination with the intro in today`s comments.

The program had a distinctive opening sequence, which was a fragment of the Australian Pirate Movie ( 1982) with The Pirates' song "Victory" in the background .

I don`t remember it. At the time it was aired, I was already an adult and kid topics like pirates were my least concern.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

Tensions in Polish Ukrainian relations recently - how to solve them???

An expert gives a similar advice to mine which I shared a few months ago -

Assessing the Polish government's reaction to the latest statements by the Ukrainian president and the way it conducts policy, the lecturer at the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce believes that Polish policy is, in principle, correct.

- We are a safer country than Ukraine, richer, we are a member of the EU and NATO, so more is expected of us. We should not respond to every provocation, because the escalation of mutual blows and claims will not serve either the Ukrainians or us. Our task is rather to look for some golden mean. I know it is very difficult, but it seems to me that the Polish government is doing it and doing it well - he assesses.

I drank it at 17 and survived. :):):) It happened in a village. I was visiting my rural classmate during winter holidays and we went to a local wedding party to watch from behind the fence. Other watchers brought moonshine spirit but didn`t have enough water to dilute it so we drank really strong stuff. I couldn`t refuse coz I was the only city guy among them and they watched me carefully.

Now a riddle: how were the watchers who came to sb`s property to observe the wedding party called in rural Poland????

Our valuable member KaniaGefreiter is temporarily absent due to personal issues.
We have a deal that when he is gone, I take over and continue his stuff.

Tell me what you would like to read by me as if it was by Kania. I will take maximum effort to satisfy your Great Expectations.

PS. Do not expect me to bond with our forum imperial Russians, though.


Exactly!!! That`s my life motto, too.
However, it costs me a lot of stress and nerves coz I don`t usually know if what I do is the best I can attain. :):):)

I hope you are stronger mentally in this matter. :):):)

Basic tip for decent writing - do not use the same word so close to each other. Make a few sentences distance between them.
