Hi there BISC Blog readers and here is another exciting instalment from the life of BISC that will keep you rock and rolling!
Yes it was Polish Night, when we certainly learnt about Polish cuisine (yummy yums –I had two helpings!) and Polish culture. The student members from the University’s Polish Society were Agnies2ka, Kira, Julia, Karolina, Marek, Antek and Michal. There were about forty guests. If we had any more guests we could have been entered in the Guinness Book of records with the highest numbers that crowded into a 1960s detached house lounge!
During the evening we had on arrival soft drinks and fizzy lemonade, and little brown sticks to eat. The starters were hard boiled eggs made Polish style – boy were they delicious, followed by the main course that tasted absolutely divine. Between the main course and sweet a presentation was given on contemporary Poland. This was very informative and revealing. I did not know Poland was such an attractive place.
Sweet followed and the cheesecake was minute sliced up because up to the beginning o f the week only some 15 had signed up to come. There was a surge of takers for tickets from Monday to Wednesday, but the cheesecake was prepared at the weekend for 15! Oh well not to worry, the chocolate things were very nice, and we were serenaded well into the night by some Polish folksongs. Well I think they were folk songs, and not the Rolling Stones in Polish!! Do you remember them and have you been singing these songs on the way to some boring lecture? Just to remind you the first one went like this, after three join in!
Myslovitz-dugosc dzwieku samotnosci
I nawet kiedy bede sam
przede mna droga ktora znam
So a big thank you to the Polish Society for such an entertaining and convivial evening, or as they say in Poland Dziekujemy Polskiemu Stowarztsleniu Na Uniwersytechie U Bristolu
I will contact you next time round BISC Blog readers. I am not scheduled for the Oxford trip, but will be on the Cambridge trip next term. Cambridge University is oh so much better than Oxford! As the Easter break in nearly upon us may I wish you a safe and joyous break and may your God go with you. John
