We have a Polish driver at our terminal … he is the stupidest, dumbest, most usless man I ever met.
I have heard of one like that. He was from Towcester. Twins or pure coincidence?

So now we have a Pole who pretends to be British just for a change …

Posłusznie melduję, że jestem!I put that in the Google translator and watched your clip Orys.

Ah, sorry then, obviously knowledge of the book is necesary.
In short words: A “Good Soldier” Svejk is known for trying very hard to fullfill his superiors expectations. Therefore he never starts the sentence without “I beg to report” or, as I would put it “I dutifully report that…”. He is also trying his best to perform given tasks and it all usually ends in disaster. Everyone thinks that it’s because he is an idiot, but it you look closer the fact is that he actually does not give a [zb] and by performing given tasks exactly to the letter of the order he actually proves that it’s his superiors who are truly idiots here.
So that was my attempt for joke here
(I know, now it’s not funny, jokes are never funny when explained)
Ah I see…
Google translated your original phrase as
“Postusznie would like to log”
That could have all sorts of funny implications but I guessed it meant
“Begs to report…”
I was going to mention it to one of the Polish loaders at one of our main customers (I mentioned him once before) but he has been promoted to the office and finishes work a lot earlier than I do now!
Slightly OT but I remember “The Good Soldier Svejk” from a British book by Leslie Thomas (I think) and there is a similar cartoon version called “Jack” in the ‘Navy News’.
Sorry I spoilt your joke (at least it started a good argument).
