There is no doubt that all European smokers are extremely oppressed by EU and goverment officials mad with health mission. The “Daily Rxpress” joined the company of oppressors some days ago in an article titled “Harry Keeps On Smoking” by Adam Helliker. The author took aim at Prince Harry (the third in line to the throne), the last independent European smoker.
Says a fellow ruddy-faced reveller: “Prince Harry was sitting next to the bar, in full view of the barmen and security and chain-smoked all night. No one dreamed of saying anything to him and, if anything, it encouraged a couple of friends who were with him at the party to follow suit.”
Don’t ask ruddy-faced revellers about princes habits. They are the characters, who always are about to degrade sombody’s dignity to win the affection of public opinion.
Given that he has no lack of support from his family, perhaps the real reason Harry is reluctant to stub out his final cigarette one has to look to his pneumatic girlfriend, Chelsy Davy.
The Zimbabwe-born blonde, who arrived in London last week for a two-week bender with Harry before she starts her postgraduate politics degree at Leeds this month, is such a committed smoker she was even photographed last month on the balcony of her hospital room cigarette in hand as she recovered from an operation to have her appendix removed.
A friend tells me: “Chelsy loves smoking and Harry loves Chelsy.
Let’s face facts – there’s just no way Harry will quit as long as she continues to smoke.”
So we’ve just found that horrible Zimbabwe-born creature! We’ve got you, Chelsy, hospital smoker and Prince Harry’s devil-evil! I’m not sure I can believe in British common sense any longer.

I’ve read an article “Courtney Love Says her ‘sick” years are in the past” in “USA Today“:
The former Hole singer and widow of Nirvana‘s Kurt Cobain says she’s patiently treading on a long-term trek back from her own personal hell of drug addiction, bankruptcy, identity theft and legal troubles. She has been clean and sober for three years, the singer says, “but it will be another two years before my memory is back to normal” because of her heavy drug abuse.
I was graduated in 1967, that was in sweet and mad 60-ies. I remember that fantastic period of my life very well. My Warsaw Polish-English high school was under UNESCO patronage. That’s why it was kind of asylum in communist Poland. Some of my classmates arrived from different countries, They were Polish but they began their education abroad.
Krzysztof arrived from Australia after he finished catholic primary school. His Aussi pronouncation sounded the best in a sentence like: “Jane, take your place, please”. Krystyna with her male, hard and metallic American murmurring went from Texas, USA. Ewa with her elegant, smart and polite English arrived from English primary school in Calcuta, India etc.
Most of us were fascinated with love, drug and rock’n'roll (we drunk alcohol instead drugs – I think it was the only advantage of communist regime: no drugs). We had the latest discs. I remember our ten minutes party during a break when we started to dance listening to “Five by Five” disc (The Rolling Stones). Believe me, we were absolutely not ready to meet a tragedy, which was coming on.
We were shaken with the news about terrible death of Janis Joplin. Jimmy Hendrix was the next. We were shocked and frozen by fear – something went wrong. The dream colorfull like a rainbow was gone.
Almost forty years have passed and we can just read Love’s statement:
With her first solo album since 2003 due later this year, Love says, “I know how to play the game now. I have to navigate the system, follow the rules and stop being a rebel. I can’t afford to be a 43-year-old rebel.”
Dear Courtney, I think you may be the 43-year-old rebel if you want to, of course. Drugs are not needed to rebel against convenances and rules.

We are full of schematic ideas about other nations and states. Our old Europe is a good example of it. We say that the East is wild and captious, the South is dirty and noisy, America is to young to be treated seriously and the North is a white desert with tough inhabitans.
Americans think that their infallible and irreplaceable rules and procedures are good enaugh to solve each important problem – for example – to build a democratic system in Iraq (it’s all because US ministers and generals haven’t read “The Gallic Wars” by Jules Caesar, yet).
We all have got trouble with our stereotypes. That’s why we are not surprised, when we read “Africa has its Bright Side, Too” by Oscar Kimanuka in “The East African” (Kenya). He wrote about Chinese-African seminar in Chengdu (Sichuan) to promote their relations by exchanging informations through the mass media.
WHEN a Chinese is asked about Africa he or she thinks of pyramids, the Safari or Nelson Mandela, the symbol of Africa’s humanity. Mandela has increasingly come to salvage Africa’s battered image, which has often been seen through the Western media as a continent of famine, hunger, disease, ignorance and conflict. But fewer Chinese know that Africa is a continent of diversity in cultures, languages and hospitable people.(…)
From Africa’s perspective, China is a huge country with the largest population in the world — 1.3 billion — rapid economic growth and development, and a friendly people.
That’s right – information, massmedia, education and knowledge are the best remedium against the trivial stereotypes. I am very attached to our euro-american culture but (and) I’m really glad, I can watch Africans fighting as well with stereotypes. May be, my proud is naive but it’s my own one.

From an announcement of the “Maidment Theater” in Auckland (New Zealand):
RECOMMENDED FOR PERSONS 16 YEARS AND OLDER
(…) In an unspecified (but eerily familiar) totalitarian state, writer Katurian Katurian entertains his younger brother with shocking fairy tales. But when grisly murders that mirror these tales slice through the town, two sardonic secret policemen come knocking.
Martin McDonagh’s dramas are pretty well known in Poland (very often translated and performed). The second Irish author conquering Polish theatres is Conor McPherson – “Weir”, “Dublin Carrol”. One of my favourite actor Krzysztof Majchrzak took part in those two performances. He was fantastic with his inner concentration and – if I can say so – silent anger, stored energy ready to blow up in every moment.(we can see him now in “Inland Empire” by David Lynch). He should take part in Mc Donagh’s dramas, too.
We can read review of Donagh’s “The Pillowman”, titled “Grimm Tales” by Natasha Hay in New Zealand Listener:
Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman is not comfortable theatre. Having toyed wildly with Irish forms (The Cripple of Inishmaan, Beauty Queen of Leenane) to create pitch-black, tasteless melodramas, he has now turned his considerable sardonic talents to European traditions. The Pillowman owes as much to the Brothers Grimm as to Kafka and Beckett and the result is a disquieting nightmare of a play that creates its own dark fairy tales.
Natasha Hay is right when she write about pitch-black atmosphere in McDonagh’s dramas. I saw “The Cripple of Innishmaan” and next I spend an hour, sitting in silent “tete a tete” with my thoughts. I was deeply impressed with very special “micro-climate” of that performance.
By the way, it seems fantastic that we can have similar (and different, of course) emotions looking at the same performances being far away (on the other end of our world), write and read about heritage of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Brothers Grimm. And we know, what is going on. I can feel that we are really together.

Sister Zavitia, top nun in San Francisco Mother Teresa’s order (Missionaries of Charity) was highly astonished when she met 30 pretty nice intoxicated firefighters having their party in the same building. It seems the news was very important because we can read about it in San Francisco Chronicle and in Los Angeles Times :
The San Francisco Fire Department is investigating a tailgate party involving about 30 off-duty firefighters outside a soup kitchen run by nuns with Mother Teresa’s order – and the rumor that a booze-fueled firefighter may have groped a female kitchen volunteer, then dropped his pants in front of a second volunteer in a bathroom.(…) it all began when the off-duty firefighters were holding a barbeque at the old fire station just down Third Street from AT&T Park after attending a Giants day game Aug. 29.(…)
The kitchen female volunteers had to be very handsome. It made a brave fireman to show his real emotions in extremly intoxicative style.
The department is also investigating whether another female volunteer was confronted in the bathroom a short time later by the same drunken firefighter with his pants around his ankles.
Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross, the authors who reported the event didn’t inform us wether two women were satisfied of love-making, described above? We don’t know either, what does the coquettish firefighter’s opinion about the incident.
Believe me, please – I really don’t think the information above is the most important one. I swear.

A new home loan marketing campagne in Australia shows about 80 years old lovers in TV clips. The models are very natural and I think they are not professional actors. We can read about it in The Daily Telegraph in the article titled “Virgin Launches Elderly Sex Romp Ads” by Justin Vallejo:
In the television commercial – one PG version and one M-rated cut for late night viewers – another elderly couple doing a spot of gardening throw off the shackles of clothing before getting busy behind a gum tree.They just couldn’t help themselves after a spray from a stray garden hose turned a bit of hedge trimming into a wet T-shirt contest.The innuendo runs thick and fast in classic Virgin style throughout the campaign, which is designed to promote a new home loan pushing an intimate relationship between customer and credit provider.
I’m very very interested in the subject. What is the subject I am interested in? Am I to borrow some Australian dollars? No, of course not. I’m interested in problem of elderly people sex because I’m almost 60. That’s why I’ve checked out three nice photos used in the campagne and I’ve read a question below:
But it raises the question – will the ads work? Vote in our poll below right and leave a comment in our Your Say box.
I did it. My answer was: YES. The results of the poll: yes – 56 %, no 44%. A balance of preferences(?).

It must be something wrong with my mental health. I’m retired journalist from Warsaw, Poland and I’ve decided to comment in English newspapers published in English. I’ve chosen 1-3 titles from each country, where people use the beautiful Shakespeare’s language. I’ve done it and now… . Am I to start, really? If it won’t work – everything will be clear: an illiterate shouldn’t shoot in a great target.
Well, let’s begin… .
