Shame on Ireland and the UK

The UK and Ireland have decided that they like cheap construction workers, doctors, nurses, hairdressers, dentists, mechanics, and yes, even plumbers. They just don't like the fact that those cheap workers are coming from another country. Out of fear of... well, I'm not sure what, these two countries have decided not to leave the door open for laborers from Romania and Bulgaria.

Thankfully though, somebody is setting an example.

What's in a flag?


or

?

Another diplomatic meeting, another hilarious faux pas


If the government was trying to convince the Russians that they want a relationship of mutual respect, they failed miserably - again - as the Foreign Ministry's employees hung the wrong flag - that of the Czech Republic- in the Ministry building today for the official welcoming of Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov.

Before the meeting took place, the workers were caught on tape scurrying around changing the flags at the last moment.

What more do Poles need to be convinced that this government is incompetent?

The NFL in Poland?


Well, not exactly


But we hope some day -- maybe I'll even get to see it -- the league whose games begin this weekend will be spread across the country, drawing large crowds to watch top-quality games with top-quality players, maybe even ones who are paid.

Poland's first (American) football league begins play this weekend, as the Warsaw Eagles face off against the Wielkopolska Fireballs. The two other teams in the league are The Wrocław Crew and the Pomorze Seahawks. All the teams will play each other once, and then meet up for a championship tournament in Warsaw on November 12.

Read the Warsaw Business Journal article or listen to the Radio Polonia report.

So if you're in Łódź this weekend, why not come out, have some fun, and maybe watch a little bit of history? (find time and location here)

Oh yes, and by the way:



Go Eagles!
