Life / Polish spy or action films? [17]
That's actually a brilliant review! Mind if I coin that? Next time I see a really good insightful, intelligent film that I like I'll say "Great film - it's not hollywood" :)
So I guess you can watch all 24 episodes but fair warning it's not Hollywood.

Food / Cider now available in Trojmiasto [14]
There's a Marine camp down my neck of the woods where they say the same thing. Until they get bladdered on the stuff that is.
The country road back to the camp is famous for being lined with unconscious northerners who couldn't manage to walk home after a night on the zider.
A drink for teenage girls and southerners.

Why not invite 'em? That way they'll be pre-warned and you can subtly mention the cigarette smoke.

Language / Pimsleur v Rosetta stone [27]
Unless you're American, Pimsleur can be absolutely infuriating. The amount of time spent on "I am American", "My wife is American", "Are you American?", "I have dollars, "I have X dollars", "Do you have dollars?" drove me up the wall!!

Language / Pimsleur's Polish Lessons [38]
I found the pimsleur course infuriating - probably because I'm not American and therefore having to listen to "I am American", "I am from America", "I have x dollars", I have American money" over and over again a total waste of time.

Language / Does anybody know of a list of Polish-English False Friends and True Friends? [60]
You will see "warzone" on a bottle of Warka Strong. Don't worry, this doesn't mean the yanks have found oil there, it is a conjugation of the verb "to brew".

Fart in Polish means a piece of good luck, which is pretty ironic as that's the opposite in English if you're on the receiving end of one.
