This year I've picked up management for a new team, and one of the members is called Pavel. He has a wonderful eastern polish accent.
Thus I'm sure you can guess my personal objective for the year...
Cheers,
Drew.

How are you going to get him to say "New Klear Wessels" in context with insurance? And an audio grab or it never happened.

I think you'll find that's pronounced "Keptin"

I'd prefer K'ptin, myself...
And yes, western Polish accents are just half as beautiful as the eastern Polish ones!
Pro tip: just say 'jenkie barzoh' (or summink along those lines) a lot!

Polish your shoes?
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.
