Language Curiosity

I’m a very curious person – I’m not nosey, just curious. I was always the one in biology class that would poke a hermit crab in a tide pool, to see what it does. Some would ask, why would you want to do this? Why deliberately [...]

You have to feel sorry for the London Underground announcer who was sacked recently for allegedly making fun at the expense of her employer. She has made some spoof
announcements, which you can listen to, courtesy of the BBC at the link here.
We would like to remind our American tourist [...]

I’m just back from a few days in Gdansk and Soport. My wife and I went to stay with friends and watch a concert by a buddy from the UK. I’ll write more about the concert and Gdansk in a later post (if you were at our wedding then the ‘buddy’ was Normski who also [...]
Dat Dog and Rations

Part 1 of my manuscript for the book is undergoing edit and some stories are being cropped as the overall story takes shape - brutal I know. I’ve also noticed that some of the stories I wrote in the early days were a bit immature and I’ve subsequently been working [...]

There has been much ballyhoo about the 50 plus people from the Polish Government that will attend the Bali conference along with 10,000 ministers, diplomats, officials and civil servants from every country in the world who are assembling to try to sketch out a new international climate treaty to follow the bruised and battered Kyoto [...]

Ticket to ride the Warsaw Metro
Posted in Observations, Poland on November 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve never really been a fan of Metro’s, I seem to have this deep rooted fear about going underground. I have to think about it for two weeks before using a Metro. I worked in Paris for over a year before eventually using the Paris Metro and in London [...]
The future of music videos
Posted in Music on November 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Online music downloads, online radio stations and iTunes have fundamentally changed the way we listen to music. But when it comes to music videos little has changed – sure YouTube is huge but many of the videos are home made/amateur videos. What I mean is the making of videos
Don’t fly in high heels – sheeple
Posted in Observations on November 17, 2007 | 3 Comments »
There are some positive things about flying from Warsaw airport, it’s efficient, clean and the staff at the desks, customs, shops and airlines mainly polite. Sure, every now and again I experience some hiccups but it’s normally because occasionally, just occasionally I expect too much. My wife thinks this [...]
