MyTW has discovered the joys of Australian television. Not that it's any different from Thai tv of course (only there's somewhat less nasal, high-pitched asian girls flogging skin-whitening cream). Last night while climbing into bed I was told MyTW's latest get-rich-quick scheme. She glared seriously into my eyes and declared:-
"You must go to Survivor Island, jing jing na! (Thai for 'yes, really!') You can win a million dollars. AND you will come back not fat!"
If the powers that be on Survivor decide to host the next series anywhere near the Bracholinskie lake in Wielkopolska, Warsaw, I might just put my hand up. It seems the local Distillery has been having some run-off problems to the point where the lake now contains 30% vodka. Oh happy day! As Homer Simpson said - "Water water everywhere, let's all have a drink!"

A local Warsaw fisherman, yesterday.
According to the Warsaw Business Journal, the concentration of alcohol in the water amounts to 30% in some places. The phenomenon is a result of a technical problem in the nearby vodka production plant. "Our alcohol measuring equipment is not wrong. It recorded a level of 30%. There is vodka in this lake," stated chemist Robert Wilczynski.
The news about the free vodka in the lake spread fast and attracted a number of farmers from nearby villages who arrived at the lake to take as much vodka as they can. Meanwhile local women are in despair and have turned to beg god to help save their husbands from the demon drink.
"If God does not help us, everyone in the neighbourhood will be stinky drunkards and only a hole will be left on the site of our lovely lake," laments 76 year old Genowefa Licha.
I can see the ending of first episode of Survivor:Wielkopolska now. "Robbie Shepherd...you're a foul-mouthed drunken c#nt who spends all day down at the lake. FUCK OFF AND DON'T COME BACK."
The tribe has spoken.
