You're mostly right, Tornado1984.
What about very dark hair and blue eyes?
Or blonde hair and brown eyes?
As far as the girls go the best are usually not those of blonde hair and blue eyes

I was just thinking of the other blonde/blue combinations we find in the world.
I prefer dark hair and dark eyes, but then you never know what hair or eyes you might happen to find.

I wonder if he's found any yet.
Perhaps a better question would be:
'How many Polish people are ginger?'
There are supposed to be a lot of redheads in Ireland, and also in the Udmurtia, a small republic in Russia.
I've known German and French gingers, and a Finnish girl who may have been a bit ginger.
It was a silly question. Let's have more silly answers.

I thought the idea that ALL Poles have blonde hair and blue eyes seemed a bit much.
I'll start a new one as soon as I can be bothered.

The answer to the original question can be settled by my answer:
My old mate Daerk does not have blond hair.
Neither was it blond before it went grey.

Deadly serious.
I measured my nose with my woodwork tape measure.

21mm horizontally from above the top lip to the tip
I didn't measure the width.

I inaccurately measured my nose.
Now, attempting the Bolo technique,
I am finding it difficult reading the numbers on the ruler, despite being short-sighted.

Life / Polish films... where to find them? [51]
I'd recommend starting with Three Colours White aka Trzy Kolory Bialy by Krzystof Kieslowski.
That's partly because it's a great film, but mostly because I don't know many other Polish films.

Correct spelling or not, is that what I should(n't) be saying?
At work, one chap (Mr. A.) kept telling me to say it to another colleague (Mr.B) whenever he started talking about the girl at work who he fancied.
Mr. B would say something like 'Have you seen where Miss X is?'
Mr. A would then start nudging me with his elbow as a prompt to say this line I never quite mastered.
It helps to learn a language from someone who isn't whispering under their breath so as not to be heard by anyone else.

Dzień dobry is as good a place to start as any. Pronounced Jen Dobry (short 'ee' at the end), it means Good Day or Hello.
You can say this to the Polish person working in the bookshop where you buy one of the many books that let you know just how difficult it is.
My technique has been to learn it off Polish people at work.
