    Anyone Had A Credit Card Couriered From Abroad Recently?

    Couple of weeks... FEDEX??? From where? Was it held up in customs then, because documents should take 3-4 days by Fedex from Europe to Argentina. That likely means that there was an issue. Had it been opened by customs?

    World Cup Ticket Applicants

    this thread was about purchasing tickets, NOT about who you think might win or any other bullshit. So far I have two sets of tix, and my flights. Flights are even more hassle than the tix almost as TAM keep dropping bookings. you guys have a swell time watching on TV !!!!!

    World Cup Ticket Applicants

    i've always found it amusing that Argentine football fans see Brazil (first) and England (second) as their main international football rivals, whereas England see Germany (first) and France (second) as their main rivals. Scotland would likely be England's third biggest rival, so Argentina...

    New Online Purchasing Laws

    Can anyone tell me that this doesn't apply to used goods, i.e. non electronic and non antique objects. . I'm talking about used items bought on the internet, and for personal use. So if a new book costs over 25 bucks, we might have to pay 50% extra. All of this sucks !!

    World Cup Ticket Applicants

    Tickets have your name and passport number on them. The application for non Brazilians is open until 30 January, while Brazilians supposedly hold the majority. Work it out but we may well see empty seats as in S. Africa, unless FIFA don't follow their own entrance regulations.

    How Much To Charge For Private English Lessons???

    Used to teach English in the early 90's in BA and was getting 10 - 15 bucks p/ hour depending, so things haven't improved. Put into a different context, I pay a guy AR$140 to cut my lawn, which he does in 40 mins, and he just put his price up to ARS 160. You work it out for yourself.

    Boliva bans coke.

    Sounds like you guys might not be all too familiar with Bilz and Pap http://www.bilzypap.cl/. One of these (I forget which one) is the equivalent of Irn Bru if you know what I am talking about. The other is like a sweeter Inka Cola. These are the national fizzy pop drinks that Chileans quoff in...

    Pork Knuckle, 16 pesos a kilo (Mercado central)

    Hi French Jurist.... you are talking pork arent yer. How many families do you know here that would go out and buy 50 kg of pork, let alone 150 kg of it, and would have to buy a freezer to keep it in. You're having a turkish mate. Can I have some of that stuff you smoke!

    Dove Hunting in Argentina?

    The population of Eared Doves in Argentina and Paraguay have exploded beyond all estimates, because the chaco woodlands have been bull-dozed for soya crops. The doves breed in the 20 m.-wide strips which are suppposed to be (often not) left between fields. In the chaco Salteño, the sky actually...

    Dove Hunting in Argentina?

    You don't even know what you are shooting then. Ostriches are African and there are no partridges in Argentina. Perhaps you mean rheas and tinamous or nothuras. If you are shooting as much as you say, what are you doing with all that meat ? Indiscrimate goose hunting in Buenos Aires...
