Dynow...make sure you throw it down in the cheapest places in town then tell us how cheap your night was.

Yeah, "just" got here, 8 months ago.

Those family sessions can be lethal. I remember one Easter do back in 96 when my female friend's father said;'Don't worry, I am a doctor and If you pass out, I can revive you.' The Poles then tried to ply me with ever increasingly strong voddies, which I cunningly switched whilst people were distracted by the food. The said doctor didn't get up for two days!

Everyone knows when you switch, sometimes you get called on it. If everyone is pretty drunk and you're outside you can also just dump the shot past your head instead of into your mouth but that's also just a waste of good vodka

i had a night where i was really seeing stars, had to sit in the bedroom a bit to catch my breath, and the suggestion was to eat a spoonful of soda powder. uuhhmm....it didn't help.

And then there are Polish weddings.

Don't beat yourself up...we've all done that in Poland. No black eye=successful night.

In some ways it was better as there weren't as many. Harry's Pub (the closed place next to the Londoner) was the heart of expat life in the rynek. It was very busy, did good steaks and all the bar staff were dolled up in tiny red micro-dresses. Most of the Poz oldies get teary-eyed thinking about that place. Stary Rats and Sarp were the only other places on the rynek. The Dubliner was popular at the weekends and Stajenka. Clubbing in Poz has always been terrible. Places were more 'Polish' then with the candles and stuff. I really don't think Poz has many good bars these days. Places like Dragon are just full of w*nkers.

Furthermore, our kudos decreased rapidly when Ryanair and Wizz srarted flying to Poznan. I wonder why!

And the expat population was much, much more diverse. In Poznan you had the AIB lot training WBK staff, and Coopers, Pricewaterhouse and Arthur Anderson were all staffed by expats for example. Now that most of the expats are teachers and not exotic in anyway, dating has got harder. The locals know that the probability of their English boyfriend being a drunk who loves going out with his mates is much higher if he works in 'education'. The job Ecocks has posted is a clear example of a post which involves little 'teaching'.
