poland_exile Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 used to love it when Wayne was called Tanglefoot - a great servant for us, but never a more apt name! Living in Poland, i frequently talk about Jacki to the natives who find it hilarious that that's how we refer to the wonderful Dariusz Dziekanowski.
