Polish workers

Home

My CPA (and friend) invited me for dinner last night at the renovated Shelbourne hotel.
Since seafood was the specialty of the house we decided to eat lobster.
He said: “I understand why you like Dublin so much. It’s tranquil and international at the same time, although the Polish workers seem to be going home.” We raised our glasses to the Polish workers. Without irony or a hint of condescend.

Yes, why on earth should anybody suspect you, me and all of us of irony or a even the slightest hint of condescend?
Let ‘s drink to the lobster (And he or she is Orange!).

It puzzles me too why people if they look for a picture of a lobster in her natural habitat ,they always prefer the image of a boiled, red lobster than the grey, alive one.

Are you still interested in my torn shirt? You remember on my way to Irak my shirt fell apart, you left a note on this site that you would like to have this shirt. I hope you don't have a shirt fetisch, on the other hand the fabric and colors are beautiful.

Yes, I would love to have that shirt, but I have to say I have a shirt fetishism. I am sure it protected you from more serious injury.

That's so nice of you, to abstain from irony. I'm sure the Polish workers were pleased
