    you make some small sense. but not much. in this world some know the economics due to their lifestyle. others through their education. maybe you should try and experience the world in all its facets. win or lose. you wont be so adamant then my friend.

    firstly, a huge thanks to the outpouring of wisdom. I must clarify. my phone was in my pocket and was pick pocketed and now for the bad part..... my "local" bar...... reconquista..... generally full of personable people and good comradeship. but the girls who work the streets hang there...

    Cost Of Labor - Painter...

    Thanks, I cleaned it with a sponge as best I could so it is a dark shadowy stain now. quite faint actually, but there all the same.

    Cost Of Labor - Painter...

    hi all I have a wine stain on a painted wall in my apartment. If I go to the agency (it is an internet rental) I am concerned they will go to town and take a sizable chunk of my deposit to do essentially a simple touching up job. This might appear pessimistic but it is how it works in London...

    Kindle?

    I gather that amazon deliveries are not a good idea which is a shame as I have a voucher. does anyone know a good place to purchase one here? assuming around Forida. but maybe there is a tried and tested reseller somewhere else? or is anyone selling a good condition one?

    Aussie Tourist Shot Dead In Mendoza By Motochorro

    I planned to visit mendoza. this has put me off. but. I have been around and I know that to change plans or waste opportunity is to let "them" win. And I could not allow for that to happen. instead I will leave valuables with a trusted person in BA and come back here for my flight. I just hope...
