You're concerned being American? Try being British! Depending on the situation, I sometimes deny my own heritage and claim I'm Irish when asked for my nationality! Although having said that, I've never been subject to any open hostility here, even when I've owned up to being British. Quite the...

"Your friend".....yeah, right! When is your next trip to Thailand? ;)

I don't want to be alarmist, but I'm not sure I agree with that. I always feel far more vulnerable when I'm out and about with my 2 year old. Thieves and hooligans see you as a far easier target if you've got kids with you - they know you can't fight back or give chase. :(

I was in Iguazu for the 2002 World Cup and went to see the England v Argentina game in a bar full of locals wearing my England shirt, when we effectively eliminated them thanks to Beckham's penalty. Everyone in the bar came and shook my hand afterwards and said "well done and good luck." For...

You have to feel sorry for Diego 'Basura' eh? (NOT!) He has to drop at least 2 from this list of strikers to get down to his squad of 23. Lavezzi is a fairly easy option, but leave out any one of the others and there's going to be uproar. And in fact, most squads will be going with 4 forwards -...

If I can find a babysitter I'd love to come along. What time? I probably won't be able to get there until 21.00hrs. Al

I'm only taking bets on who's going to come second. I've already written England in as champions in indelible ink, so it can't be changed now. ;)

That's not strictly true - there's no import duty on books in Castellano. If you've not been paying it on English language books you've been getting away with it and you're a thieving, tax-dodging, gringo bastard and I'm going to report you to the appropriate authorities! Either that or the...

Excellent typo!

Welcome! See you when you get here... :)

So, with regards to whether US$2000/mth is enough to live on in BA - more than 73% of people posting on this forum are doing it, and 43% are doing it on less than US$1000.

I'm not upset Lucas! Just disagreeing with you that it's a debacle and laying out my reasons why. And you're still wrong - why is it a democratic debacle? It's just the result of how people voted. What's really quite amazing is that it's so rare that one of the parties doesn't get an overall...

So you know how to cut-and-paste.....well done! And from an on-line Australian publication called 'crikey' - well, must be the source of all wisdom and knowledge then! ;) The fact that there's a hung parliament is hardly a debacle though is it? It's the result of real democracy, of people...

How short and when they arriving?

If they're too big for you luckysevens, just secure them with a rubber band.* Sorted! * that's what I do. :rolleyes:

Very, very interested. Unfortunately I'm out of the country for the first 2 weeks of the next one but will be looking into a future class. Thanks for the info!

Better get it organized pretty quickly, or that's only going to get you a take-away pizza and a bottle of wine! ;) Sorry, no ideas on the 'special date', I'd be happy with any date.....but good luck.

Very well put HotYogaTeacher.

When you find something let me know and I'll join you! Al

Just to help you out with your English Lucas....it's not 'debacle' - the correct word is 'democracy.' ;)
