“How about you sit down and I’ll bring us some drinks out.” I said pointing to a round Heineken table with a massive green parasol overshadowing it. “What do you fancy?” “Whatever you are drinking.” She said nonchalantly. “Guinness.” I told her, asked her. She said the Polish beer that I couldn’t pronounce. It began with a Z but the sound wasn’t zed or zee. I could point it out though and that was all the barman needed. I invited the Scouse and Manc fan out to join us. They declined. I was glad. “Did you have fun?” I asked. “It was essential.” She answered. “You?” “I guess. I met a couple who were quite funny. Better than most of those nobheads anyway.” I answered. In truth I was glad to be out of the bar and if I hadn’t loved football as much as I did I doubt I would have returned. “You must introduce me.” She announced and gathered her bags. We finished our drinks then went inside to find them with a group of other ex- pats. Elly charmed the barman into stowing her ‘essentials’ behind the bar and we spent the next few hours hearing only English.
I realised how much I missed it. I needed an ally. I needed another Englishman to laugh with about the quirks of Polish life and in among the bullshit I think I might have found the guy. Chapter 12 I needed help. I needed more than help. I needed an ally, a confidant, a Robin to my Batman. Well maybe not a Robin but someone who was on my side. I found him among the hapless fucks who tried to pass themselves off as translators. A guy at the bar named Curtis had recommended him to me after I had been complaining about my situation. It seemed that he was not only the best Polish speaker among the foreigners but was mainly self taught. The group were a little standoffish about him as he didn’t really socialise with them. They all knew his work though. I liked the idea that he had the good sense not to associate with the barflies. I quickly found him on Google the next morning at work, Kinsley Andrews. He was working for a translator not a million miles away from my office so as the crew answered call after call from the UK, I picked up a few documents in Polish and headed down to meet the guy.
