Poland braces itself for 'vulgar' British stag season

Although I live in Poland I’m proud of being British. I’ve made lots of friend here in Szczecin and I’m treated with the greatest of respect.

Once or twice a year we visit Krakow, it’s a great city and a good place to ‘chill out’ in some fine restaurants, Coffee houses and bars. Unfortunately we tend to avoid May to August due to the disgraceful behaviour of some of my fellow countrymen.

Who cares in the Middle East what Obama says?

"President Obama has shown himself to be weak in his dealings with the Middle East, says Robert Fisk, and the Arab world is turning its back with contempt. Its future will be shaped without American influence"

Palestine ? ..... What's Palestine ?

I don’t involve myself in politics as I find it extremely boring. However I couldn’t help noticing the recent speech where Barack Obama's called on Israel to retreat to its 1967 borders to secure peace with Palestine. It was also very good to hears that the British Foreign Secretary William  Hague (who is so far up Obama's arse you can just about see his feet) supports these policies.

I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. I carried out an extensive search on Google Maps and several other reputable websites and none of them could even find Palestine, but they all found Israel with no problem. So I really can’t see how Israel can give land back to a country that doesn’t exist !

Water for Elephants

It was Friday 13^th, so what do you do to stay out of trouble ? We decided to go to the cinema and see ‘Water for Elephants’.

Despite the negative review in the UK Guardian newspaper (and a number of other publications) we enjoyed the film. To quote the Internet Movie Database … “A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a travelling circus as their vet”

One of the 'Stars' of the movie is Rosie the Elephant who for some reason can only understand Polish commands but they don't explain why

I would only make two comments. (1) I don’t understand the relevance of the film title. (2) In my opinion Reese Withspoon is totally miscast.

The Boys' Celebration of Life

A trib­ute to unique­ly in­spir­ing Holo­caust sur­vivors by their fam­i­lies. "The Boys" were chil­dren who out­lived the Death Camps and March­es and then em­braced life and the bonds of sur­vival ev­er-since.
 

This film tells a life-af­firm­ing sto­ry, that is tru­ly in­cred­i­ble, of jubilation and gen­eros­i­ty of spir­it.

Israeli conductor Barenboim holds Gaza 'peace concert'

"Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim is due to lead an orchestra of European musicians in a "peace concert" in Gaza. It is the first-ever performance in the Palestinian territory by an international classical ensemble. Israel forbids its civilian citizens from travelling to Gaza, so Barenboim is entering via Egypt, along with 25 musicians. For years, Daniel Barenboim has used music to try to promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians."
