Life / What is going on in Polish Music [128]
of course!!!
I can advise something from this kind, good old stuff mostly.
T. Love - old albums are fantastic
Perfect - it's a classic, they played in Brussels a couple of months ago,
From a little heavier kind there's Acid Drinkers - but this is metal, you've got to like this kind, to enjoy this music
Elektryczne Gitary - fun music, not heavy, plenty of low quality mp3's on their web-site
Kult, Kazik - I think someone has already mentioned it,
from punk I'd advise KSU (this is old stuff) and of course Big Cyc
well, that's it for now

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]
Mosco Bosco sounds a little like "Matko Boska" - meaning literally Mother of God
yezza sova - this is a tough one. the first one could be "jędza" (sort of "witch") the second looks like "sowa" (an owl), but together it doesn't make much sense to me, unless your grandparents had their own way to curse at each other, which wouldn't be anything unusual
grama/grampa - babcia/dziadek
excellent touch :)
BTW. most of the s-words have more then one meaning, and that's where it gets complicated

Food / Stuffed eggs (Polish-style recipe) [17]
one of my friens did it a bit different way.
so once the eggs were hard boiled she would cut them in half (yes,cut, in order not to destroy the shells) then she would take the egg out of it's shell, cut is in very little pieces, mix with fried shampignons also cut in little pieces, some mayonaise and spices then put is back in the shells (well not in a complete shell but in the two remaining bowls after cutting the egg). then she would put those in a oven for a couple of minutes. tastes very good this way.
you can fry the mushrooms with some onions.

Life / Thoughts on Music in Poland [132]
there's some stuff to find on the net. look for "Sedes" (punk), "KSU" (punk, soft rock), "Acid Drinkers" (metal). there's some music available on their sites. or just check this thing:
sarajevo-x.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18459&start=825&sid=141ed5320cd38 f0ee9a769283e340159
someone has put a lot of old Polish punk there, but that thread is not in English. so it might be difficult.
the beginning of the post says: POLJSKI PUNK.
I think it's in Ukrainian or something.

Language / Polish or any Slavic language key to any other Slavic languages? [126]
Czech, Slovakian, Ukrainian are relatively easy to pick up once you speak Polish. More difficult is to learn writing. Russian requires more of an effort. And writing cyrilic is hard. I can steal read it but writing is difficult.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [451]
funny, it's not the first time I hear this. it's not true, though when I look around sometimes down here I'm prone to agree. that's probably because of drinking :) extensive alcohol intake makes one's eyes brighter :). The hair of the workers becomes brighter due to the white paint constantly falling on their heads, and there you go - blue eyes, blond hair.
and girls? it seems to me that it's extremely popular to dye the hair blond. i've been to a Polish party and I my friends could swear that 90% of girsl were blond... if they hadn't known better :)
cheers!
All the poles that i know are blonde with blue eyes.

Love / Why do Polish women prefer foreigners for boyfriends and husbands? [418]
some prefer foreigners like you, some don't. some are curious some aren't that's it.
to me, naming reasons is the same as giving excuses.
at the end of the day, who cares?
you go out with an English or any other, hey, have fun!!!
why do you think you need to explain it. feel guilty of something?
personally i have several reason :-

Language / What should I end my last name with? [16]
Marek, what you mentioned is correct but applies to spoken language and is also a tad archaic. In a passport you'd write Nowak for both the Ms. and the Mrs.
Karturn, in the 'theory' you'd just go for CZNA indeed, and I say, do simply that .
Sometimes, however and it's only dependent on the history or habits rather of a given family, women use the male form of the last name. It's very rare nowadays. Used to be more common long long time ago.
