A short guide to Polish drainage
Approximately five hours of my life last Saturday was devoted to trying to unblock the drain in our daughter’s bathroom. The saga followed most of the normal tributaries that any such matter normally does here in Poland and is therefore, perhaps, worth sharing as a kind of mini-guide book for new arrivals. 1/ Understanding the problem This [...]

Polandian has been going for two years now. Over this epic span of time the original band of seven Polandian writers has been whittled down to just two. Some have dropped out to spend more time in the real world, whatever that is, some have succumbed to internet fame and checked into rehab and some [...]
Asides
- The Big Freeze My latest column for the Krakow Post. It's all about snow: "It’s been snowing. Other things may have happened but nobody can be sure since these things have immediately been buried under six feet of icy precipitation. There are strange humpy white shapes scattered all over the country that may or may not conceal fascinating news stories." Read the rest on the Krakow Post website. #
- Crosses to Bare My latest column in the Krakow Post: "Joanna Krupa is a hard woman to ignore. The 30-year-old model enjoys the kind of curvaceous good looks that get you on the cover of Playboy. Photographed naked, sporting a pair of angel’s wings and using just a silver crucifix to preserve her modesty, she becomes ever harder to overlook." Read the rest on the Krakow Post website… #
- A very silly post in which I point out childish double-entendres. Polish tits Favourite quotes: "the biggest of European tits, this species does not avoid the human nearness…" "Great tit does not avoid human" A–Z of Polish Birds Favourite quotes: "some birds wander as rare vagrants as far as Great Britain…" Polish birds in the pictures of Przemyslaw Pawlak Favourite quotes: "Great Tits in Duet! Enjoy the watching!" "Against the Pink Sphere" #
- The Overconfident Pedestrian. My latest column for the Krakow Post. "I’ve never thought of myself as an overconfident pedestrian. If anything, living in Poland has turned me into a starkly petrified pedestrian, but according to a new road safety campaign, it turns out I’m as naïve as a boy scout at a cross-dressing convention…" Read the rest on the Krakow Post website. #
- Apologizing to Poland My latest column in the Krakow Post. "I wish to take the opportunity to offer my sincere and heartfelt apologies to the people of Poland. I was misinformed/not thinking/drunk at the time and I promise it will never happen again. I have yet to do or say anything to offend Poland, but I feel I should get my apologies in now for when the inevitable happens. Apologising to Poland is the new “coming out” or tearful “drug hell” confession; you’re nobody until you’ve done it." Read the rest on the Krakow Post Website… #
Welcome to Polandian
Polandian is a great place to catch a sideways glance at life in Poland. Think of our blog as a fruit cake; rich with wit and satire, sprinkled through with nuggets of helpful advice & historical inaccuracies with a lingering, slightly intoxicating, after-taste that leaves one craving for more. Were it not for the odd crunchy pieces that taste vaguely of pork scratchings, it would be a prize winning recipe. Here’s what our readers have to say:
>”Hilarious, really – one of the most amusing things I’ve read about life in Poland in quite a while.” – Brad
>”Come on chaps – let’s have some more posts!” – Michael
>”Hilarious post… if I only knew what is it about???” – Ania
>”If this isn’t the best ever blog about Poland then I don’t know what is!” – SomeGeezer
