I'd be fascinated to read the outcome from this. Will it be a shrug? An enthusiatic offer to do something about it which comes to nothing? An actual concrete proposal to put right what is wrong? Do let us know. I've made my feelings about subsidies on public transport known before: most...

I don't usually watch videos but that was fascinating. Thank you.

As I think I have said before, many city blocks are non standard sizes. I know the data panel on the left of that page says 2.8km but making a very crude measurement using the scale in the bottom left corner, I make the journey around 4km. They ought to be the same but they clearly are not...

I don't know about Palermo but there are tunnels beneath San Telmo. The museum on Defensa - Zanjón de Granados houses the entrance and tells about their history.

We live somewhere between the Linea San Martin and the Linea Urquiza and sometimes it's more convenient to take "El Trencito" into that part of the city. The route is very photogenic: from Federico Lacroze it almost immediately dives into the countryside surrounding Agronomía, passes through...

The original Pagina/12 headline is quoting a phrase that Menem used to use. People sniggered at him too...

Many Brits have workplace pensions or private pensions in addition to the state pension but, provided you have worked for the qualifying number of years and paid or had credited National Insurance contributions through your work, the current UK State Pension is £221.20 per week. That's £958.53...

Have you discovered Luque yet? If you play guitar (or harp) you really must visit.

I looked in my wallet just now and I have both types. I'd never noticed that before but they are such low value that they are not worth noticing. I looked just now for some sign that they might have been series one, series two like US issues but couldn't find anything

You know how many times you've entered and how long you've stayed and so do they. Records are sorted on name and date of birth and identify you regardless of different passports you have used.

You may need to buy a new packing case - check weights and dimensions with the airline/(airlines if it's not a through ticket). I did it myself many, many years ago when a hot PC was a 486DX and it saved so many other headaches in the end.

From your other message (sorry to read about that) could I guess that you are going where the PC is going? If you take it as additional baggage you'll have control over the packing and it might even cost less that way too

Yup! According to World Population Review Argentina's ratio is a mere 85% to the USA 129 and UK 97. I suspect this is all about confidence. Everyone panics because Venezuela has a ratio of 241% but nobody worries about Japan at 264%! They trust Japan to manage 264 but don't have faith in...

In just the same way that people from the US seem quite happy to eat chocolate bars that most of the rest of the world find revolting it's quite possible that Argentine people quite like their food and drink the way it is, thank you very much. And, if the 2023 figures from International Living...

When I first heard about this I presumed it was salt water related as the Surfside Fl condo collapse a few years back. But the CNN article you reference suggests other factors are involved.

...but not neutrally accented enough for some of the Buenos Aires parents with young children I come into contact with. They say that because of their children's exposure to television, they are all starting to talk like little Mexicans. (There is a simple and obvious solution to this but so far...

Have you recently moved apartment or has the situation suddenly changed in a place you've been living long term? If the latter then if the water used to be okay to drink (ours is) then AySA ought to be able to tell you if the water quality has changed and your building caretaker/administrator...

Talking of the upcoming US elections (which we weren't) has anybody else noticed how quiet it is in here this time? In previous US election years at about this time the forum would have been full of new posters all scrapping away with each other, determined to raise their Google ranking on...
