    Francophones De Tous Les Pays, Unissez-Vous!

    Haha I thought this was going to be about organising a revolt against the abandonment of the circumflex and the approval of ognon as an acceptable spelling of oignon. Vive l'oignon! http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/05/not-the-oignon-fury-france-changes-2000-spellings-ditches-circumflex

    The Last Fpv Hurdle?

    I can't believe BOSSIO is behind this! He's always struck me as an idiot -- maybe it's just the hair, someone get him a man's haircut please, he looks like a 5 year old boy. Seriously though. Bossio?? Bossio? Wow. I just can't get over that. He must have been on the receiving end of one too...

    Argentine Car Savings Plan Lottery

    So if I remember correctly, the one that the cousin was in they actually had to go and sign up for it somewhere down near Plaza de Mayo, and there were hundreds of people there. Both cousin;s signed up, but then one doesn`t even have his license so he dropped out. The deal was you had to pay 50%...

    Temp Move To Ba

    Alright Ceviche -- confess! Did you trip the kid?? 10-12 yrs old is big enough to know better, I`d have been tempted to trip him myself!

    Argentine Car Savings Plan Lottery

    Yes my husband's cousin did it for a bloody Ford Ka! He paid for like years and years and then finally his name came up and yes, you have to spend a whole bunch of money then to get all of the paper work through and in the end he got a Ka. I guess the thing is it is a 0km instead of saving up...

    Is A Short Term Move To Ba Doable With A Young Family?

    Well that plus a lot of people think that when they move down here they are coming to "The Paris of the South" and are disappointed when they find out Buenos Aires ain't no Paris. Have you visited before? If you send to St Georges you may want to reconsider where you live -- neither campus is...

    Where To Find A Nightlight?

    We got one in Barrio Chino. It's a mushroom -- my son loves green so he chose a green mushroom. It casts the eeriest light in the room at night, but hey, he's happy. Otherwise try on mercadolibre!

    Is A Short Term Move To Ba Doable With A Young Family?

    Schools: it will be very difficult to get in this year, there are a few schools that will accept foreigners later in the year, but with many you can expect that either they will simply not get back to you, or regard you as crazy to be asking, or be plain rude. Try not to give up! However, if you...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    The Ks are in crisis -- there is going to be a split amongst the Peronistas and the Kirchneristas are in a panic, they are about to be dumped even by the peronistas -- when a Kirchnerista is passed over as head of the peronistas of course they will find a way to blame it all on Macri rather than...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    Wow, you love to exaggerate don`t you. It`s not quite like that, Macri just said at Davos that he could see Massa becoming leader of the Peronistas. Not that he was going to be appointing him. Why don`t you listen to the actual words coming right out of Macri`s mouth rather than extreme-K...

    Hispanic Or Latino?

    Actually no. In Canada are we going to call blacks African AMERICAN? NO. Same with the UK my dear, where it makes even less sense. Very generally speaking, many just use the term black or Black Canadian or get more specific Afro-Caribbean, or African-Canadian, or even more specific...

    Netflix - No More Proxy

    Tunnel Bear was still working as of last night for Netflix USA. The only annoyance with it is that then I can't cast to my TV and must watch on the tablet (or computer). Any ideas for how to get around using VPN but still being able to cast?

    Macri Meets Cameron

    The elephant in the room being the fact that Cameron thought he was going to meet The Doctor, and instead got Macri? ;D

    Good Extended Weather Forecast Site

    Here's another site -- I've only used it when on the coast so far. Not sure if they just get their info from the SMN though. http://www.meteored.com.ar/tiempo-en_Buenos+Aires-America+Sur-Argentina-Ciudad+Autonoma+de+Buenos+Aires-SABE-1-13584.html

    Macri Dumping Presidential Aircraft Fleet

    We always joke that he might be a distant relative of my husband's family -- their last name is Gay as well -- it's a Basque French name. In Argentina there's very few with the name. Prat is probably his dad's last name, Gay the mum's. I bet it was originally Pratt, though the Prat with one T...

    Welcome To The Dictatorship Of Happiness

    Democracy is a very new institution in this country, and there have been very few handovers of power that have gone smoothly. Really it's hard to expect someone who has only lived in democracy for half of their life to have the same understanding of how elections and political parties, and...
