Hellelujah!

"Lonely British expat seeks lonely ex-newyoiker. Single dad, unemployed, broke, no friends, short-arse, spec-wearing, balding, bearded, own teeth (mostly) but generally going to seed. Interested in....stuff." That should get them breaking my door down.......once I've got them inside. :D

Not in Sant Telmo/Monserrat they can't! Well it's a bit late to be telling me that now! ;) Unfortunately I'm 4 months into a 2 year rental contract....and I'm probably going to have to renew that contract when the 2 years is up! I didn't realize how lucky I'd been in getting a 2 year contract...

Went and had a wander round there today. Have to say I agree with SaraSara - it looks a bit like docklands in East London in the early days. First time I've seen lines of BMWs and Mercs parked on the streets here!

That's not a very nice thing to say about her! ;)

Much easier when you're in a relationship though Lee. Mine's with my son....but it's a similar sort of thing.

Brilliant album.....ooh, need to dig it out and give it a play now!

A pretty good philosophy to live by!

It's a pretty big city! I happened to land in San Telmo in temporary accommodation when I first arrived and then found somewhere affordable here on a long-term contract, so this is the barrio I know. I looked (on-line) at Palermo and Recoleta, but there was nothing even remotely close to being...

Well, I've been here for 3 years, but I'm not your typical profile so I don't think my experience will be of any help really. I've got virtually no family back 'home', although I do miss my mates at times*. And since coming here I've now got my own child, so my most important family is now here...

Oi! That's my hood you're dissing! (Not sure what that means, but I've heard the youngsters saying it! ;))

Easier said than done Lee! I've only been here in BA for 4+ months and a lot of that has been about finding somewhere (affordable) to live and then furnishing it and at least 50% of my time is spent looking after my little lad. And in that time I've not known anybody here. Now I'm settled in...

I'm very sorry, but I can't talk to you any more.....ok, maybe through an interpreter. ;) I spent a couple of hours wandering around Scalabrini Ortiz and Santa Fe yesterday - you live in a different world to what I know. A different planet completely! I saw clean, tree-lined streets, fresh...

I haven't watched the documentary yet (I note it's 2hrs+ and have put it to one side to watch when I have that much time to spare), and I'm only planning to watch it for amusement value - conspiracy theorists are usually good for a laugh.... Having said that - this idea that a third party will...

Heard someone on the radio yesterday make a verb out of Facebook: Facebookearme!

I'm going to try and get there for Bebel Gilberto, but it depends on the condition of my full-of-cold toddler. AL

I'm in - x1 vote for the Gibraltar. Al

I was going to reply to this thread yesterday, but I just couldn't work out where to start....there is SOOOO much great Latin music! bigmike - I think we have very similar tastes! OK, rather than just make a huge list or repeat recommendations already made, I'll give a shout out to my all-time...

For all our English patrons.... :-)

You want to get that seen to....!
