| Off topic - WOŒP | |

Date: 10-12-2004, 01:38 | I don't know if that's a good place to do it but if I can share a few thoughts about UEFA coefficients I believe I can share a few thoughts about something I do participate in - a little Polish phenomenon and probably the only event that the Polish people are MOSTLY united about - The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. This post is just to tell you that we have some great things in Poland (except Wisla sometimes  and we have something to be proud of (at least I do).http://www.wosp.org.pl/en/index.php - I still don't know how to make links  |

The kind of "why can't someone else do it?". Just a funny story; some 20-- years ago just after the founding of Solidarnoc in Poland, there was a collection of "Clothes to Poland" in Norway. I sent two sacks (quality clothes), and just couldn't wait to see Lech Walesa wearing my psychedelic pink/lilac/yellow-patterned sweater with an embroided butterfly on the front |

Date: 11-12-2004, 14:52 | Who knows, maybe upon seeing Anita's sweater Walesa decided to jump over the Gdansk's Shipyard wall??? You should always be very careful sending clothes, you don't know who will wear them! Anita, I believe you don't have one more of those |

Secondly - the clothes were sent (just)after Walesa climbed the fence. It was a kind of wooly, wide sweater, so I am afraid it's not the most practical cloth to wear in fence-climbing. Barbed wire and wool, you know |
