Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Oh boy Warsaw - Poland's former president and Nobel peace laureate Lech Walesa says he's feeling frisky just weeks after having had a pacemaker implanted in his heart. "Now I'm feeling more energetic," Walesa, 64, told the PAP news agency on Wednesday. "When I wake up in the morning - even when I wake up at midnight - I want to go to work, I wake up my wife...Oh boy," said the father of eight. "I feel like I'm 18. I asked my wife if she feels it too. She agrees, so it's great," he added. Walesa was discharged on March 4 from the Debakey Heart and Vascular Centre in Houston, Texas, four days after doctors fitted him with a bi-ventricular defibrillator pacemaker to improve his heart function. The former shipyard electrician rose to global fame in 1980 when he helped lead a massive strike by workers at the Gdansk shipyard in northern Poland, creating the first free trade union in the communist bloc, Solidarity. He won the Nobel peace prize in 1983 for his part in founding Solidarity, credited with paving the way to the peaceful end of communism in Poland. In 1990, he became Poland's first post-communist democratically elected president, and served one five-year term. Walesa is also famous for his handlebar moustache and a cheeky sense of humour. http://www.capeargus.co.za/?fSectionId=&fArticleId=nw20080320090835152C994979
