Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

I actually found LOT just fine when I flew from Toronto to Warszawa and back. Staff very friendly and helpful, food was fine and overall the flight was no worse than any other airline I've been on (American, Air Canada, West Jet, Porter, etc). My only very small complaint was the entertainment because the inflight show was a TV program that they stopped before the ending so I never found out what happened! (side note: show was about a group of priests who were dealing with a suicidal sister of a nun, a young girl rebelling against her family and a priest infiltrating a Buddhist retreat) It looked like an older show (maybe from the 80s?) but I enjoyed it so was a bit peeved when I couldn't find out what happened. Other than that...LOT was great and I will definitely book with them again when I return.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Have been doing family genealogy for past few years and found the following names in family tree:
ROJ: gg-grandmother. Wondering if this could be a Polish version of the Scottish surname Roy since I read that many Scottish names were changed phonetically.

STELMACH: ggg-grandmother. Is this German in origin?

Thank you

Life / Exam for Drivers License in Poland; English? [99]

I was wondering if anyone has come across an online version of the Polish Driving Test (B category). I have a book that is in english, but my computer doesn't have a CD drive so would prefer an online version. I checked a few of the sites noted in this thread but they seem to just sell CDs, but nothing online in English.
