In reply to the comment about school shootings, the first, and only one I can recall, was in 2004, when a young boy nicknamed "Junior" opened fire inside the classroom, killing two girls, one boy, and wounding seven. He stole his father's gun...

Your idea is not crazy at all, and it is doable, like you said, in fact, my wife and I are driving all the way to patagonia in our mini SUV. We have a Ford Ecosport 4WD 2.0L engine (Ford Focus' Duratec) it's a great car, handles very well and it's quite efficient and robust. The 4WD XLT...

I have recently been in London and intended to get a bicycle. It's not easy for tourists. Where did you get that from?

Suicidal? the whole thing was suicidal. It won't ever fit in my head how Galtieri could come up with such a thing. Let's not forget what the whole falklands conflict was about: A war to cover up domestic issues. kind of sad, though. Because, before 1982 Argentina was a major provider for the...

Phil, by the way, i'm an amateur runner, also. I'm going to the UK in a matter of hours to spend xmas and new years with fam but coming back in mid january. If you want, we can go running around palermo or somewhere. Would be nice to make a group of expats/friends of expats to go running early...

What's with the prison calls anyway? I get these quite often and I have no relatives or friends or anyone I care about in prison. Everytime I get these calls I obviously hang up, but what do they want? why do they call for? I always wanted to know.

An expat in a villa isn't a good idea, no matter how big your heart is. Just my personal opinion, I could be wrong. Also, in my experience, I have found that donating money to institutions could be a bad idea sometimes. It's much better to ask them what sort of food they need and give them the...

www.clubdecorredores.com it's in Nuñez, they have a specialised shop upstairs. Can't remember if they have ascics but they probably do. I bought my asics in Sportline at a very good price (www.sportline.com.ar) Let me know if I can help you any further with your running needs. :)

I'm not a tourist, I've been living here for 20 years, and the bike I need is a professional bike. My current bike must be around the 12k pesos, and, although I love it cos I won 3 tourneys with it, It's getting old and squeaky now, I need a new ride that can handle rally races. this one, for...

I'm trying to buy a used trek bike, slick, but used, some scratches here and there, least thing I care about is the paint this toy has fox suspension, continental tyres and disc hydraulic brakes, titanium components etc, all for £600. When did you bring your bike over? was it too long ago or...

Thank you Steve, I have an Argentine passport, my wife, although she has DNI, she will be leaving with her British passport. I was thinking about pretending she's coming to ride with a bike and I jack her bike later lol. But she's an Argentine national now, wouldn't that show upon return...

The race was great. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Nice meeting you all

SMG seguros (swiss medical group) ORBIS & Banco Provincia Seguros are the cheapest best insurances, at least in zona norte, thought you might be interested. I pay $260 for my VW Golf now in Provincia Seguros, I was paying $500 in Nacion Seguros. Hope it helps

Hello lovely people. Me and my wife are travelling to the UK in a few weeks time and I am thinking about buying a bicycle there. Comparing prices, the same bike you buy in argentina for $20.000 you can get used, in optimal conditions in the uk for 600 pounds, which is roughly $4500 pesos...
