Off topic but Poland is far from depressing.

Krakow was absolutely majestic, if run down  which happens with medieval towns.

And beautiful women everywhere, with manners and grace.

Take me back!

    As the snow wafted down in the gaslights of the town in fairyland reality, as a young man, I had a very romantic night in Heidelberg and a fabulous breakfast the next morning. Hence, fond memories of my own '...student prince...' experience and Germany, in general, several times. 

    I can relate to your story as I lived in Frankfurt and we often used to bomb down in the VW to Heidelberg (University Town) and got massacred in various "beer halls". Not sure I would have the stamina now. Great memories.

    I said to the woman serving at the Polish Cake Shop in Carnegie, My wife is Polish.

    Polish girls, she said, they keep you on your toes.

    I grimaced: But, I'm not a ballerina.

    and btw tell your wife i've just finished james michener's 'poland'. a very good read but a bit depressing.

    To be fair, what book about Poland ISN’T depressing?!

     I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. I’ve read quite a few Polish novels (translated to English), particularly last year as I lived there for seven months (cheers, Covid). These novels weren’t necessarily depressing, but I find non-fiction books on the history of Poland can be too  depressing.

    I don't think they would be too upset as they are both dead.

    It seems to have upset Kranksy Frankfurt.

    Just like to point out double standards. Hilarious to make Italians the punchline but if it was Sudanese, Indigenous or maybe gay or transgender the lynch mob would have been out. Where is Flaubert and his long winded history lesson or bleeding heart Dieter when you need them ?

    Hyperbole. Surely you are joking.

    Italians clearly do not have a long history of prejudice, violence, bigotry, slavery, etc against them. No where near apples with apples

    Ribbing italians for being poor fighters during the war is on a par with Melbourne supporters and the ski fields.

    Just for the record, I found the reference to Italians in war in poor taste: as I've said, my post has nothing to do with war, it was an attempt at celebrating Melbourne Football club players of German descent. None of them had anything to do with WW2.

    Also, if you wanna take it further, tell me how you'd behave if you were sent from a village in Puglia or Sicily or Sardinia to fight for the Nazis at Stalingrad.

    Lived in Berlin for a while.  Used to be up listening or watching us getting pantsed over breakfast most weekends.

    I can report that a sherrin has passed east to west and back again through the Brandenburger Tor, and a few other sites besides that.  Flughafen Tegel, Teufelsberg, Alexanderplatz…

    I was there when the Soccer World Cup was on. Magnificent. Took about a month to recover from that.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
