Every place I've lived in Poland has had a building site next to it. I haven't chosen to live next to building sites, it's just that wherever I live, somebody eventually starts building something nearby. Perhaps it's a coincidence, or perhaps Polish people generally can't sleep without a... .
Centralna Komisja Wyborcza zarzuciła złamanie rosyjskiego prawa misji Zgromadzenia Parlamentarnego Rady Europy, która w zeszłym tygodniu gościła w Moskwie, zapoznając się ze stanem przygotowań do grudniowych wyborów parlamentarnych w Rosji. .
Miniature versions of things are often better, cuter or sexier than full-size versions. Examples include teddy bears, miniskirts and bikinis. Unfortunately, this is not a universal rule. Tiny flat-screen TVs are not better than huge flat screen TVs, and I've never received an email asking if I... .
Contrary to stereotype, most Poles are sensible and moderate drinkers. The stereotype of the heavy-drinking Englishman abroad is, however, accurate. As part of my dedication to international harmony and understanding, I decided to look in detail at the rules for drinking in the two nations. I expect... .
Being a góral looks exhausting. Every time I see them on television they are skipping around a stage booming out folk songs, leaping on and off the backs of horses, loping through snow drifts in high mountain passes or otherwise engaged in something strenuous that involves a lot of shouting and... .
For a long time I was very confused by those small clusters of pipes sticking out above the doors of almost all Polish buildings. At first I thought they might be tiny mortars for dispensing smoke bombs to make up for the lack of fog in this country, then I guessed they might be devices for... .
Ci, którzy postanowili spędzić zabawę sylwestrową na wolnym powietrzu, bawią się już w najlepsze. Warszawiacy wieczór rozpoczęli na pl. Konstytucji przy piosence Dody. Na Rynku w Krakowie zebrało się - jak podają organizatorzy - ok. 100 tys. osób. .
I made a rare sighting of Kaptain Kombinować today. Kaptain Kombinować is Poland's only superhero. He is the secret identity of every Polish male over the age of 35. Unlike Batman or Superman, Kaptain Kombinować does not fight crime, he fights entropy. Whenever something breaks down or falls apart... .
W warszawskim kinie "Kultura" rozpoczęła się pierwsza konwencja Klubu Parlamentarnego i środowiska politycznego Stowarzyszenia Polska Jest Najważniejsza. Przemówienia wygłaszają przewodnicząca Joanna Kluzik-Rostkowska oraz jej zastępcy Elżbieta Jakubiak i Paweł Poncyljusz. Kino zapełniało od godz... .
The Polish post office, like the CIA, is one of the few remaining state institutions allowed to torture people. .
I wish to apologise to the people of Poland on behalf of the people of Britain for inflicting Mam Talent on you. We're are not a cultured nation and our crass ideas sometimes leak out and infect other, innocent countries. The X Factor, the industrial revolution, Who Wants to be a Millionaire... .
The Polish attitude to alcohol fascinates me. It is both devil and saint, a source of pride and a shameful stain on the national character. Poles proudly claim that the ability to drink litres of vodka without falling over is a defining national characteristic, and in the next breath complain... .
I’m a big fan of balconies. In England balconies are seen as something exotic and excitingly Mediterranean, in Poland everybody has one. Even houses with gardens have balconies, which seems positively Sybaritic to a balcony-starved Englishman like myself. When I moved into my first Polish flat... .
W niedzielę odbędzie się beatyfikacja zamordowanego w 1984 r. przez służby bezpieczeństwa PRL ks. Jerzego Popiełuszki. Jakie wydarzenia doprowadziły do tragicznego końca kapłana? Przypominamy życie księdza Jerzego. .
Pierwsze takty "Candle in the Wind" spowodowały, że na Stadionie Polonii Warszawa zapłonęły zapalniczki, ale Elton John, który wystąpił na jedynym w Polsce koncercie w ramach trasy "Rocket Man Greatest Hits Tour", nie zadedykował utworu - jak się spodziewano - ofiarom katastrofy pod Smoleńskiem. .
