Among the almost 80 changes reported on Sunday was the Presidential Palace being renamed as the "Hooligan Palace" in Google Maps - an apparent reference to President Karol Nawrocki admitting that, in his youth, he participated in organised fights between football hooligans.

Definitely one of the funniest thing I've heard lately, along with the Ruskies' Special Three-Day Fuel Queue Operations.

It's funny.... not refined funny but.... funny.

"Hooligan Palace" is not a good translation. Pałac Kibolski is a lot funnier but also harder to translate..

It's a lovely bit of fun.

And Nawrocki is still a 'hool'.

puerile

What's wrong with puerile?

And if it mocks that clown, all the better.
