Livin' la vida Polska. 8211; Surfers ride ‘weather bomb’ waves in Spain and Portugal – Some of the world’s top surfers have been riding massive waves generated by the Atlantic storm that hit Scotland. Stats steady at around 10,000 visitors a month (views is a higher figure). February remains an odd spike. Most popular posts – anything to do with Polish females – nothing changes. I’ve approved about 60 comments and deleted the 90 spam. I was not riding a massive wave at the time. Next post →.

Periodic maintenance | POLANDiAN
https://polandian.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/periodic-maintenance
Livin' la vida Polska. Just to say I’ve tidied up the comments, which is to say I’ve deleted a few hundred of those “Hey, your blog looks great and I just wanted to say I really appreciate all the work you’ve done here….etc” spammy things and approved a few others from normal, hard working, decent people! Yes, we do occasionally come back and check the place out just to make sure no squatters have moved in. Anyway, it’ll soon be time for our Happy Christmas 2013 post so not much longer to wait.

The Lodz Wonderer: December 2010
http://lodzwonderer2.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 13, 2010. The following introduction comes from an article I wrote on the Baltic Review. Friday, December 10, 2010. The news that never was. Wikileaks has to my mind made a thing of creating expectation prior to the release of the mundane. In its recent batch of releases we learn that Nato. Has "drawn up classified plans to defend Poland and the Baltic states from Russian attack" and this has led President Dmitry Medvedev to be a bit perturbed in his recent visit to Warsaw. It is only du...

The Lodz Wonderer: July 2011
http://lodzwonderer2.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 24, 2011. An atypical look at Polish women. For many intelligent Polish people, there are only so many times you can hear that when asked what the best thing in Poland is, people reply "Polish women". Don't get me wrong, I am married to a beautiful Polish women and would happily describe Polish women to any foreigner as being the most beautiful women in the world. However, there are a few more things to Poland that it's women :). Slowly and incremenedly. One thing which would be an imens...

The Lodz Wonderer: January 2011
http://lodzwonderer2.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. My home is my castle. Why do I say antonym, well a colleague a work remarked on the Polish custom and in the same sentence noted "where as you (British) have My home is my castle." I was not sure if I should get offended or just sigh at the ignorance of the remark (coming form an experienced English teacher/examiner). Where is the flaw in her argument? Saturday, January 22, 2011. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. The EU has recently put pressure. I can have one job and pay once, but...

The Lodz Wonderer: April 2016
http://lodzwonderer2.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2016. Why Secular societies need Religion. Why Secular societies need Religion. Whatever great religion you look at they all have a concept of perfection, of goodness. You can call it God or just truth, it doesn't really matter. But simply put it puts an ideal above our basic desires. Sure we fail most of the time to achieve this ideal but we can nevertheless strive for it knowing that the alternative would most certainly be worse. Monday, April 11, 2016. The Failure of Liberalism.
