Farquhar here, old boy. As usual, am thoroughly enjoying your insights into life behind the Iron Curtain. I am very keen on seeing some water polo action – have been following that sport since the bloodletting at the ’56 Olympics. Could you get to a pool and, at a stretch, in one? That would be so frightfully exciting for us here in the hinterland.
Well, that’s enough excitement for me for the time being.
BLYG and ‘Go the Magyars’ (a Brisbane water polo team from when I was a kid – never understood that name until many years later)
I have bought my bathing attire, but sadly we are now in the land of Dubcek, so the moment has passed. All that time practising the crawl has not been wasted however – as indicated by my resulting athleticism
