Bouncer tapping P on shoulder: Excuse me...
Pino turning round: Yes...?
Bouncer: Oh. Never mind. I was going to ask for ID, but...
2011 sucks already. Pass the gin.

Left my beloved Kraków now to set up in Brussels but this is by no means the end of my adventures with Polish. Linguistic confusion and cross-cultural misunderstandings still abound. I'm an interpreter, a translator, a musician, I'm learning to cook again and I miss my dog. I think that's got it covered, more or less.

Reminds me of the Polish expression "z tyłu liceum, z przodu muzeum". ;-)
Seriously: all the bouncer meant was that you didn't look UNDERage... :-)
Best wishes for 2011! & easy on that gin.. :-D
ah yes but in England they ask everyone who looks under 25 as a matter of course...
I like the expression!
and thanks for the new year's wishes. all the best to you too, whoever you are...
Didn't know they were such sticklers for rules in English party venues...
I've no idea how old you really are, but I'd assume at least slightly more than 25 given your job. Still not a stara torba by a long stretch. Nie pękaj :-)
(...) whoever you are...
Też jestem tłumaczem w Brukseli. :-)
Pozdrowienia. :-)
