    I Passed My Motorcycle Test Today

    For anyone who has ever taken a vehicle practical test here (Prov BsAs), this should come as no surprise whatsoever. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that it was nothing more than a bizarre ritual, disproportionately skewed at around 20/80 to bureaucracy rather than actual proficiency...

    Shipping A Dog Cargo Houston -> Ba

    This is one of the most useful and well written posts I've seen here for a long time, so thanks for your time and patience for writing it Mfogel. Very well written, with humour and style. The bureaucracy, though mind numbingly inane, comes as no great surprise, but the unexpected charges, whilst...

    Us Embassy Says Americans Have No Right To A Passport

    Nevertheless, Vice Consul O’Brien wrote a letter questioning my entitlement to a U.S. passport. This line above needs explaining OP. Who was the letter written to, what did it say, how do you know about it and did you see it? By claiming that your entitlement to a passport was questioned, you...

    Us Embassy Says Americans Have No Right To A Passport

    So you want to renew your passport at the US embassy in Argentina and at the same time slag off the US ambassador in said country and then you wonder why there's a hold up and blame the whole affair on Noah Mamet? You also say that you had a similar problem in renewing your passport in 2004...

    American Airlines 'standard Operating Procedure'?

    Yes but did you watch the CEO's interview? The so called apology? It was a PR disaster.

    Us Embassy Says Americans Have No Right To A Passport

    When did your passport expire? If there's one document that I would never let expire, it's my British passport over and above my Arg dni. Not out of fear that it wouldn't get renewed, but more the hassle factor. I'm curious to know how you so irresponsibly let such an important document expire...

    Smart Tvs In Argentina - What Do You Use?

    Is that problem confined to Popcorn Time? I have a ten year old LG 32" non-smart TV hooked up directly to a PC via HDMI. How are you extending your laptop screen? And is it Windows 10? I know you're a techie so I understand your frustration, as I am too.

    In that case, perhaps David Dao should call our own resident professional, Bajo.

    American Airlines 'standard Operating Procedure'?

    A man was pulled off rather forcibly from an AA flight in Chicago and they issued a statement saying 'not in accordance with our standard operating procedure', which must be the understatement of the year, surely. Hired thugs more like it and I'm glad I'm flying BA in June...

    Americans In Argentina For Donald J. Trump

    That article is out of date, was published before the inauguration and as such is no more than a threat to impose such onerous import taxes at the moment.
