Poland, 2003
It was a hot summer and I was working onboard a ship drydocking in Szezecin. Ship was up on pontoons out of the water so the seawater sanitary system was offline.

This basically meant the toilets didnt flush, fine for a piss but turds had to be taken to the spider infested drydock bogs. This wasnt really a problem for the crew and we managed just fine, this somehow didnt apply to the manky fat superintendent who had been sent to oversee work.

He spent his time onboard in one of the spare cabins drinking beers and "meeting" drydock reps. After a few days a smell started to rise up from the cabin to the point where I would take the much longer and colder route via the rear of the ship and up the fire escape, than pass through the main stairwell.

After a month, the entire alleyway was a putrid stench of festering death. The super had filled the bowl and beyond with foul beer turds with such gusto that it would have put pigs to shame. How he worked in such filth was beyond my tiny brain, it was fucking disgusting.

After we refloated it took several buckets of water and a crewman in a EEBD (emergency escape breathing device) to clear it out. This was a man earning in the region of £50k+, as per my previous post regarding office turds.... is it something about the higher paid you are the bigger minger you become?

Fucking hell, do you have to pay extra for vowels in these places?

Oh, golly, yes you do.
That how they've ended up with 32 letters in their alphabet.
Darned foreigners!

Thanks
I shall leave up the unedited version to highlight the dangers of relying on google :-)

Google? Pah!
;)
It's a tricky one, that's for sure.
Thing is, though, that once you get the noggin around the concept of all the extra letters in Polish and the added bonus that the language works properly, orthographically speaking, it's a dead easy language to read.
