    Lisbon Vs Buenos Aires

    More skaremongering from The Dok which is particularly interesting, since during the twelve ´Golden Years´, we happy few never actually predicted violence, politically or otherwise and under even worse circumstance than we find ourselves in today, it never materialised. Except from her of course.

    Tipping The Delivery Guy - What Is A Good Amount?

    24% in less than three months, you're kidding me? When we order a takeaway pizza, which is never less than $200 and has crept up steadily, I only give about $10 because they´re taking the piss. At those prices, you´re already paying the tip several times over.

    The new 'law' comes into force on 15th June, so here's a lawyer's point of view... ALGUNOS ASPECTOS LEGALES DEL CHALECO Y CASCO Muchos motociclistas han hablado sobre lo ineficaz de una medida como la que se pretende instalar.

    Rising Cost Of Living Diminishes Benefit Of Living In Ba

    Come on, Argentina has faced much, much worse, but somehow manages to scrape through. I suppose if one is philosophical, and let's face it, you need to be when living here, most Argentines have a healthy cynicism, often bordering on the pessimistic. That's probably why they always manage to pull...

    Door To Door Service Experiences?

    You could have watched 'Where to Invade Next' on Netflix and saved yourself three and half hours of your life you'll never get back again. Experiences like that are soul destroying and best avoided.

    Credit Card Sales Crash

    The entire credit card issue in this country is a conundrum to me, apart from the fact that many merchants have very little incentive to operate with credit cards bearing in mind the swinging costs involved for the merchant. These can go up to 45% of the value of the sale after bank charges, IVA...

    Customs Won't Let Me Retrieve Shipment

    When I moved here over ten years ago, I seem to remember that my residency process, which I kicked off at the Arg consulate in Barcelona, was at least six months down the line. I hadn't by that time got my DNI but my temporary residency had been approved. I also appointed a guarantor and used a...

    Ridiculous New Laws Targeting The Motorbike Community

    Thousands of bikers will be converging on 9 de Julio at The Obelisk and thence to The Congress at 1700 on Weds, so if you like the sound of bike engines roaring, might be worth a look. Unlike other marches, the idea isn't to disrupt other road users by the way.

    Ridiculous New Laws Targeting The Motorbike Community

    I agree Julian and possibly the most dangerous of all are the delivery bikers who have no respect for any rules of the road. Red lights particularly. But the point here, since I´m a biker and not a weekender, that marking us out is a total waste of time and will be laughed at by the criminals...

    Ridiculous New Laws Targeting The Motorbike Community

    What's good news Ceviche? That we all have to wear our vehicle reg splattered all over our bodies or that they're lifting badly parked bikes?

    International Women's Day Strike In Capital Federal

    That's a bit below the belt Nancy. Even fathers have rights and opinions you know, even if they come below the rights of the unborn baby. Did you ever abort a child because 'you weren't ready'?

    International Women's Day Strike In Capital Federal

    My ex wife aborted our first child for no other reason than she 'didn't feel ready'. I never forgave her for that and it reinforced my anti abortion stance quite rigidly.

    Ridiculous New Laws Targeting The Motorbike Community

    Yes, they started lifting bikes from the pavement (sidewalk) for being illegally parked. Hardly surprising when people barely have room to pass. No outcry from us because we know how wrong it is.

    Ridiculous New Laws Targeting The Motorbike Community

    Here we go again. Just because the government is unable to combat armed gangs and robbers (motochorros) who use motorbikes to kill and rob, law abiding bikers will have to be marked out by the obligatory use of a reflective vest with the bike registration printed on it as well as on the helmet...

    International Women's Day Strike In Capital Federal

    No matter what happens, there's always an invader element who just want to cause trouble. But what gets me is, why are women's rights still not equal to men's after so many prominent women presidents and prime ministers? CFK, Dilma, Thatcher and Merkel to name but a few. But then, you only have...
