But to answer his question...
The civil war in Yugoslavia buggered up my holiday plans when it kicked off.

finally an answer to the question!
thankyouverymuchforactuallyreading.
it's a bugger when world events get in the way of far more important things.
like the morning after princess di died and the 1stmrsblaireau and i nearly missed a train cos of bunches of flowers on the road.

some interesting views aired up there ^ but unfortunately we were out eating pierogi so i couldn't get involved. some folks really got their knickers in a twist over stuff posted on the internet. it makes me laugh that rape, murder, child sex abuse and the like are suitable material for humour but when i make a seamingly cuntish comment about the deaths of a bunch of lying cocksuckers and hired killers then i'm worse than hitler.
there are far too many individual points for me to answer one at a time but briefly...
the general feeling on the street here in Lodz is that nobody is actually that bothered about the death of the fairly unpopular president. most folk are more upset by the 300+ people who died from the extreme cold this winter after the new president stifled plans to introduce a winter fuel payment deal like we have in the uk. i'm not too sure of the details because plenty of cytrinovka had been consumed by that point. i think it was actually more to do with streamlining an existing system or something.
as for the military types...i find it hard to feel sympathy for them, after all that they do.
and as for feeling so little for the country i'm visiting? bullshit. Poland has a very special place in my little black heart. it is a wonderfull place and i love it dearly. since i first came here 5 years ago i have visited 7 times, often for a month or more. i have made dear friends with people from all walks of life who we visit and stay with whenever we get the chance. babyblaireau, now approaching 3 1/2 is bilingual and will hopefully grow up to appreciate her Polish roots as much as her mother.

i do feel empathy for those left behind, the death of a loved one is a terrible thing.
