I always remembered his name as a child because it looked foreign like mine.

I must say MEG GOES TO BED looks like a MUST READ.

That was a favourite of mine too!

CO ZA ULGA regarding Rula and Tomasz*

That’s “What a relief” in Polish APPARENTLY. Something of a lack of those exciting if pesky consonant clusters so I’m not convinced

*Less bothered about Mel after all the ESC semis she’s ruined

@Ag Do you have a Polish middle name or is it something like NIGEL?

Yes I’m getting myself into a EXCITABLE WHIRL OF EXOTICA

No my first name and middle name are both English, just my last name is Polish. My Dad's name is fully Polish though. I have lots of exotically named relatives, although many are just Jan or Agnieszka.

Agnieszka is quite exotic though. I think anything with SZ or CZ is quite exciting. (Of course the height of exotic is ZB as in Zbigniew.) At least it’s not Norma or Joyce like the aunts I’m saddled with on my dad’s side, although both could be dead for all I know OR CARE QUITE FRANKLY

Agnieszka.

I see a rebrand coming on

Shout out to Meg and Mog for making many a goth toddler feel seen. Them and the Funny Bones did do much for the cause.
