tvp.pl/filmoteka/film-fabularny/inferno/wideo/inferno/625137

(whole film on tvp.pl website)

and "Dług" (Debt) one of the best films of tha last years.

News / Polish President Lech Kaczynski and gov officials die in a plane crash in Russia [686]

Firstly KGB DOESN'T EXIST! for many years. now is FSB
Secondly, yes I believe it was a russian job. Presidental planes dont just crash, do they?
In my opinion is strange that FSB torn any news and photos done by journalists and witnesses of crash. I think Poles should KNOW

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

"I know they both mean Grandmother....but does the difference have to do with social class or geography?"

Both are correct. Babcia is more...common and Busia is just diminution of babcia. Babcia's term has got neutral or positive emotions while Busia expresses only positive and strong feelings. If someone calls Busia it shows relationship between these people

Food / "Browar Jabłonowo" beer, A Christmas word of warning [18]

Zubr, okocim, zywiec, lech even tatra- the same Brewery either Heineken or Carsberg. ZThese beers were quite good and tasty, but it changed. now good bers are from local breweries like Van Pur, Dojlidy. I prefer Ciechan- it's popular more and more.

ps. jabłonowo is known very well, and they had good beer, maybe it has been changed as everything .
