Germans have a saying about Polish Housekeeping. It ain't complimentary. Anyway, what's wrong with pierogi and Barscht and Bigos? I cook it regularly for my Polish wife...

In The Threepenny Opera, script Brecht, music Kurt Weill, both great Yekkes - there's a song called Mackie Messer. Frank Sinatra sang about him - Mac the Knife. My wife is Maxine Messer. Never mind, she's a great novelist and writer...

It also helps to learn the basics of the Polish language. I learned this the hard way: I unwittingly accepted a marriage proposal, and if not for my son’s fiancé overhearing and quickly stepping in, I’d be a staruszka cooking pierogi for her ancient old husband right now instead of being in the No T$ thread, where I belong. 

I would guess feisty redheaded women are a rarity in Poland so the old fella was quick to snap you up 🤣

We've been together since 1989, got married in 1996 - after her Catholic parents strongly suggested that since we'd lived together for so long, we should get married. My wife made this suggestion as we walked the path along Merri Creek towards Bell Street. I turned to her and said, So, you want to become my 3rd ex-wife?

Nothing at all wrong with Polish food. In fact, I love it so much I gained 12 kilos in eight months. 😭

I dropped the 12k upon arriving back in Melb without even trying which means Polish food equals loads of calories. But geez, it tastes sooooo good.

I am half Polish, as my late dad was born there.

My father's mother, born in Breslau, claimed there was Polish Aristocracy in her family tree - a certain Count Adishkovitz. When I mentioned this to my Polish Un-laws they said, That's not a Polish name. 

Since then, I have discovered every Polish family is descended from Royalty...

Australians are a rarity in Poland. Especially in the villages, but even in Warsaw. They’ll think you’re English first, then Irish or Scottish, then American and when they hear you’re from Australia they look at you like you’re a figment of their imagination.😁 

Methinks the old fellah was looking for someone to cook for him and to wash his jocks n socks, redheaded or otherwise.

Nooo! Poles are wonderful folk! You just need to be patient since they sometimes take a while to warm to you. My son lives in Poland and in 2020 Covid turned my 3-week visit into eight months. I eventually won the good folk of Warsaw over. By attrition. I wore the poor buggers down. 😁

I attended a wedding in Vietnam and during the after-ceremony festivities multiple people asked my girlfriend (now wife) for help translating their proposed introductions to various daughters. My friend who was getting married did NOT step in to clear things up.

One of the biggest culprits (for me) ...the Paczki.  Similar to Gernan variety but the plum filling makes this a stand out!

For anyone who's a connoisseur and wants to taste them (among other Polish sweets/cakes & delights).... Cafe' Europa in Koornang Rd, Carnegie

What is going on here?

I can't understand any of it.

Uncle, please post and insult me, at least that is easy to comprehend.

BTW, any of you Dees fans going up to the GC to watch both the Dees and  Casey play?

Bah! I have no doubt that this is some cunning lawyerly plot so that you can sue and get your grubby hands on The Manor's pelf.

If you can do those things ( and other .....errr duties) WCW then there are often vacancies on The Manor's domestic staff.

@WalkingCivilWar I think uncle bitters just hit on you. 🤮

So what’s new, Azz? He’s been doing it for ages. Clearly he’s not taking the hint. Maybe I need to make it louder and clearer. Although I thought, “Go away you dirty old man, I DON’T like you!” would’ve sufficed.

I’ll ask around, see if any gal-pals of mine are interested in applying. Don’t like the odds though since I don’t have any friends who are clinically insane. Soz.

This place is heaven, proof there is a God. 

I once informed the female owner that my wife is Polish.

She replied, Polish girls, they keep you on your toes.

I replied, Trouble is, I'm not a ballerina.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
